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."
