[Wgcp-whc] WGCP--11/3 Field trip, postponing Howe

[richard.deming at yale.edu]

Dear All,
The reading packet for the session on Fanny Howe is now available in our mail
slot in the office of the Whitney Humanities Center.  However, that session
will be postponed until November 17th so that for our next session, Friday Nov.
3, we can have a field trip of sorts.  David Jackson, who has twice visited our
group to discuss both Pessoa and the Brazilian concretistas, has organized a
conference on Brazilian concrete poetry. The conference begins on Fri the 3rd
at 3 in the Beinecke.   Thus, it seems counterproductive for us to meet in WHC
when our group would otherwise be a primary audience for this event. The
schedule for the conference is posted below.

Also, Nancy Kuhl has asked that these links to new information re: the
Beinecke?s poetry collection be passed along.

Hope to see everyone on the 3rd.
