We will be continuing our discussion of Sea Change by Jorie Graham and this time the poet herself will be joining us for a high-octane conversation about her poetry and poetics. As ever, the WGCP welcomes visitors and first-timers. I've provided the official bio before (though it is also available at our blog <a href="http://wgcp.wordpress.com/)">http://wgcp.wordpress.com/)</a>, but here is a link to her website , which has interviews, reviews, and so forth <a href="http://www.joriegraham.com/">http://www.joriegraham.com/</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Also, I wanted to bring news of some recent activities of WGCP members as part of our march towards world domination. Our own Charles Douthat will be reading this weekend at Labyrinth Books from his haunting new collection of poems, Blue for Oceans. Here's a review of this fine book by our own Donald Brown: <a href="http://www.newhavenadvocate.com/arts-literature-articles/memory-man-charles-douthats-poetic-life-043655">http://www.newhavenadvocate.com/arts-literature-articles/memory-man-charles-douthats-poetic-life-043655</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Then our own Edgar Garcia will have a poem of his included in a performance by the Yale choir and orchestra this Saturday, 5p, at Marquand Chapel.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Then our own member-at-large Brian Johnson will be giving a talk on collaboration and the painting/poetry interface (an issues of recurring interest to this group). </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Also, at the bottom of this email I provide the announcement of a forum on "Other Futurisms" published in Semicerchio by our Italian correspondent and WGCP charter member, the immensely talented Antonella Francini (who is also Jorie Graham's Italian translator).</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Onward!</div><div>Richard Deming, Co-coordinator</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>++++++</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: center; "><st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on"><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; ">New Haven</span></font></st1:place></st1:city><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; "> Review Books<br>invites you to two events with<br><br>the poet <st1:personname w:st="on">Charles Douthat</st1:personname><o:p></o:p></span></font></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; "><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: center; "><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; ">First, please listen to him read<br>from his new book <em><i><font face="Tahoma"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; ">Blue for Oceans</span></font></i></em><br><strong><b><font face="Tahoma"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; ">on The Faith Middleton Show</span></font></b></strong><br>Friday, Feb. 18, at 3pm<br>WNPR 90.5 and WNPR.org<br><br>Then the next day<br>join him and Mark Oppenheimer<br>as they read from their works<br><strong><b><font face="Tahoma"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; ">at Labyrinth Books</span></font></b></strong><br><st1:address w:st="on"><st1:street w:st="on">290 York Street</st1:street>, <st1:city w:st="on">New Haven</st1:city></st1:address><br>Saturday, Feb. 19, 4pm</span></font></div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>++++++</div><div><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">Word Image World: Poetry and Painting in Dialogue<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">Wednesday, February 23<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">8:00 pm<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">Engleman A 120<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">Southern Connecticut State University<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">Brian Johnson, SCSU’s 2010 Faculty Scholar, discusses his two-year<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">collaboration with the German painter Burghard Müller-Dannhausen.<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">Their<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">interartistic and intercultural dialogue culminated in a recent<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">exhibition<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">of poems and paintings in Homburg, Germany.
