[Wgcp-whc] session this Friday--Creeley's Letters

[Richard Deming]

Dear fellow poeticians,


just a reminder that we will be meeting this Friday at the Beinecke library from 3-5 PM.  We will be joined by scholar Kaplan Harris, who will discuss with us the correspondence of Robert Creeley.  Harris is one of the editors of the selection of Creeley letters that is forthcoming from the University of California Press late this year.

I will paste Harris's official bio below.  I'll also paste a link to a selection of letters that appeared at the online journal Jacket a few years ago.  I'll also paste a link to Harris discussing Ezra Pound with Rachel Blau Duplessis and Richard Sieburth. 

On Friday, remember to arrive just a minute or so early because people will have to sign in and leave jackets and so forth in the lockers upstairs at the Beinecke


Here's the official policy:
All visitors are asked to leave their belongings, including coats and hats, upstairs in the lockers and racks on the main floor. If articles of loose clothing (scarves, sweaters, etc.) are brought into the classroom then they should be either worn for the duration of the session or returned to the upstairs racks/lockers. Please do not bring food or drink into the library. 


Also, all copies of Red Rover, Susan Stewart's most recent book of poems are available in our mail slot in the main office of the Whitney Humanities Center.  As ever, these copies tend to be scooped up quickly, so don't delay in getting yours.


Until Friday,
Richard Deming, Co-coordinator
