MAY 2005 READINGS AT THE VILLAGE VOICE
Thursday, May 12th at 7 pm
Cyrus Cassels presents his latest collection
of poetry :
More Than Peace and Cypresses, Copper
Canyon Press, 2004
"After the death of his father, the
poet returned to Italy, France, and
Spain- countries that nurtured him as a young writer- to investigate the
sources of his inspiration. Lorca, Van Gogh, Pavese, and Montale are among the
trailblazers the poet invoked, revisited, and revered in order to brace himself
through his mourning."
Jennifer Dick reads from :
Fluorescence,
winner of the University of Georgia Press Contemporary Poetry Prize 2004
"Jennifer Dick's poems are accountable
to the truths of a violent kaleidoscope
world. Terrorism and suicide are part
of this landscape, but this poet is equally dedicated to an understanding of the internal tensions of the lyric voice and the human heart."
L.Mullen
Donna Stonecipher presents :
The Reservoir,The University of Georgia Press) winner of the Contemporary Poetry Series Competition
"It's often evening here; we're often
in a garden; we're often wandering. Stonecipher's precise language is both pensive and uncannily present, her images
both seductive and oddly settling. She
has achieved a beautiful truce among
the most difficult emotions without compromising a thing." Cole Swensen
The evening will be moderated by Emmanuel
Moses whose latest collection of poetry
was just published in America, in
translations by Marilyn Hacker, Kevin Hart and C.KWilliams.
Thursday May 26th at 7pm
Sandra Gilbert presents her latest
collection of poetry Belongings
"These powerful, graceful poems evoke
a world of intense contradictions. Place is made real, with a sensuous exactitude,but only so as to serve a
beautiful crisis of displacement....." Eavan Boland
Shirley Kaufman
reads from her latest collection of poetry Threshold
" Her poetry bears witness to daily
life in Jerusalem as it explores the
ambiguities of uneasy identity and relationships- race and religion, married love, mothers and daughters,
cultural history and individual aging.
Her concern with rage, suffering, and
fear- especially among Israelis and Palestinians- is deeply revealed in poems of profound consequence
that question the role of art in our lives."
