Wu will present poems that treat the theme and circumstance of solitude from a range of dynasties and styles, with remarks on musical interpretation as well as on multiple translations. A scholar and Smith faculty member, she has been studying, performing, and writing extensively on Classical Chinese poetry for two decades.
