[Wgcp-whc] A week of a thousand stars

[Richard Deming]

Camerados--

the minutes from our last session, a dynamic conversation led by  
Hilary Kaplan about the poet Angelica Freitas as well as the process  
of translation, is forthcoming.  However, I wanted to send a note that  
alerted people to the plethora of events over the next 7 days that  
involve friends of WGCP, past visitors, or work that touches on the  
group's interests and activities. The first event is tomorrow!
   Maybe it is isn't a thousand stars, but there is a lot to take in.   
Information on these can be found at our blog: http://wgcp.wordpress.com/


Thus,
Richard
