SUMMARY:Contemporary Poetry Reading Group: Come to the First Meeting!
DESCRIPTION:The Poetry Colloquium is organizing a contemporary poetry reading group whose first meeting is this week:\n\n\nWednesday\, 10th October 7.00 – 8.30pm in the Hinds Library (McCosh Basement B12) Wine will be provided.\n\n\nFor the first session we will be looking at J.H. Prynne’s short book _Wound Response_ (1974)\, a difficult and peculiarly beautiful text which should reward group discussion.\n\n\nAnyone interested can email osxr@princeton.edu for a scan of the book.\nWe will read the text aloud during the session (or at least try to)\, so no advance preparation or prior knowledge of the poet’s work is necessary. We will also discuss which poets to read in future sessions.\n\n\n—\nJ.H. Prynne (born UK\, 1936) has published more than thirty books of poems over the last fifty years\, which must count among the most challenging poetry written in English. His youthful association with Charles Olson\, close friendship with Ed Dorn\, and criticism of Language Poetry give his work particular relevance to American poetry.\nPrynne is a reader emeritus at the University of Cambridge\, life fellow of Gonville and Caius College\, honorary professor at the University of Sussex\, and Guest Professor at Sun Yat-sen University\, China. The third edition of his collected Poems was published in 2005\, and his Selected Poems translated into Chinese in 2010. He has published book-length commentaries on single poems by Wordsworth\, Shakespeare and Herbert.

SUMMARY:Susan Wheeler & John Koethe read new poems at Labyrinth Books
DESCRIPTION:Susan Wheeler & John Koethe\nA Reading of New Poems\nTuesday\, October 16th\, 2012 at 6PM\n\nWe are pleased to invite you to a reading by two acclaimed poets in celebration of their new collections. \nIn Meme\, Susan Wheeler\, whose last individual collection predicted the spiritual losses of the economic collapse\, turns her attention to the most intimate of subjects: the absence or loss of love. A meme is a unit of thought replicated by imitation; examples of memes\, Richard Dawkins wrote\, “are tunes\, ideas\, catch-phrases\, clothes fashions\, ways of making pots or of building arches.” What could be more potent memes than those passed down by parents to their children? Wheeler reconstructs her mother’s voice-down to its cynicism and its mid twentieth-century midwestern vernacular-in “The Maud Poems\,” a voice that takes a more aggressive\, vituperative turn in “The Devil-or -The Introjects.” In the book’s third long sequence\, “The Split\,” a generational inheritance feeds cultural transmission. A set of variations on losses and break-ups-wildly\, darkly funny throughout and\, in places\, devastatingly sad-“The Split” brings Wheeler’s lauded inventiveness\, wit\, and insight to the profound loss of love. Once read\, and the meme “Should I stay or should I go?” will be altered in your head forever. \nJohn Koethe’s ROTC Kills is a lyrical and arresting new collection. As typified by the provocative title piece-a wistful look back at the poet’s years at Harvard University in the late sixties-the poetry and prose within evoke the memories and dreams; the literature\, popular culture\, and philosophy of a generation through the lens of the poet’s personal history. In the grand tradition of Wordsworth\, Wallace Stevens\, and John Ashbery\, ROTC Kills is an important work from a major American poet. \nSusan Wheeler is the celebrated author of a novel\, Record Palace\, and of 5 books of poetry prior to Meme\, including most recently Ledger and Assorted Poems. Wheeler teaches creative writing at the Lewis Center at Princeton. John Koethe is the author of several collections of poetry\, including Ninety-fifth Street and North Point North: New and Selected Poems. The recipient of many awards\, he also publishes and teaches philosophy\, focusing on the philosophy of language. \n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nLabyrinth Books \n122 Nassau Street\nPrinceton\, NJ 08540\n609.497.1600
