Also in terms of poetry related events,  the following is happening the weekend (the poster is attached).

T.S.Eliot's Four Quartets as Poetry, Music, Art
a multi-disciplinary exploration followed by a reception


Saturday, March 2 | 4 - 6 PM
Marquand Chapel & ISM Gallery of Sacred Arts, Yale Divinity School
409 Prospect Street
New Haven, CT

Free, no tickets required. Plenty of free parking.

Also, Paolo Valesio will be reading as part of the marathon reading of (several cantos from) Dante’s Inferno  on Maundy Thursday in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine on the Upper West Side. Evidently, this reading is open to others to take part.


Come to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine and hear Dante's 'Inferno' read the way he originally intended as part of the Maundy Thursday Vigil. Once again, this dramatic literary event will take place in the nave of the Cathedral, near The Poets’ Corner, with selected Cantos read by honored guests, distinguished poets, eminent translators, visiting scholars, and Dante Reading regulars. The reading will be followed by an organ meditation by Timothy Brumfield, Cathedral Organist.

For further information, please call the Visitors' Center at 212.316.7540.


Anon,
Richard Deming, WGCP Coordinator
