[Wgcp-whc] One copy of Delville's Third Body left--also poetry reading tomorrow

[Richard Deming]

Dear friends,


I wanted to let people know that there is (at least there was yesterday evening) only one copy left of Michel Delville's book of prose poems, Third Body, is left.  It is in Room 116 of the Whitney Humanities Center.  Look in the bookcase very near the window.  It's a slim volume so be sure to look around if it isn't immediately obvious.

This book is an addition to the pdfs that I sent around 2 weeks ago.  Those pdfs are essays by Delville about the prose poem genre, about which he is an internationally renowned scholar.  Those essays will be the foundation for our discussion with Delville on Friday 9/14 from 3-5 in room 116 of the Whitney Humanities Center.


Also, I wanted to pass along one quick announcement--some new and longstanding members of the WGCP are giving a joint reading tomorrow night in nearby Hamden, CT at Best Video, one of the best video stores in the country.  The info is pasted below.  It should be a terrific event.

Onward,
Richard Deming, Group coordinator
