SUMMARY:Alicia Ostriker & Gerald Stern reading at Labyrinth Books
DESCRIPTION:Poets Gerald Stern and Alicia Ostriker both have published new collections. \nPlease join us for a post-storm\, post-election reading\, this Wednesday\, November 7th\, 2012.\n \n\n\nOstriker’s new volume\, The Book of Life\, charts her extraordinary struggle to deal with a wounded world and find reasons for hope. The lyric poems of In Beauty Bright\, although marked by the same passion and swiftness as Stern’s previous work\, move into an area of knowledge—even wisdom—that reflects a long life of writing\, teaching\, and activism. They are poems of grief and anger\, but the music is delicate and moving.\n                                                                                                                                                               \nAlicia Ostriker is the author of fourteen poetry collections as well as several books on the Bible.  She has received the Paterson Poetry Prize\, the William Carlos Williams Award\, the San Francisco State Poetry Center Award\, the National Jewish Book Award\, and has twice been a finalist for the National Book Award.                                                                                                                                  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGerald Stern\, the author of seventeen poetry collections\, has won the National Book Award\, the National Jewish Book Award\, the Ruth Lilly Prize\, and the Wallace Stevens Award\, among others.                                                                                                                    \n\n\n\n\nFree and open to the public.\n\n\n\n\nLabyrinth Books\n122 Nassau Street\nPrinceton NJ 08540\n609.497.1600\nwww.labyrinthbooks.com

SUMMARY:Contemporary Poetry Reading Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Join the Contemporary Poetry Reading Group for an evening of reading\, wine\, and discussion surrounding the poetry of J.H. Prynne‘s book Wound Response. \nAt the end of the first session\, there was unanimous agreement that we should devote ourselves to the rest of that book. The next session will focus on the book’s second poem\, ‘The Blade Given Back’. For scans of the poems\, please contact Orland Reade:  osxr@princeton.edu \nThe next meeting will be on Wednesday November 7th\, 7.00 – 8.30 pm in room 105\, Chancellor Green Library.   As before\, no prior reading or specialist knowledge is required. \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. Prynne 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:C.K. Williams reading at Labyrinth Books
DESCRIPTION:C.K. Williams reads from two new books\, In Time and Writers Writing Dying \nTuesday November 27th\, 6pm \n122 Nassau Street\nPrinceton\, NJ 08542 \n  \nSince his first poetry collection\, C. K. Williams has nurtured an incomparable reputation—as a deeply moral poet\, a writer of profound emotion\, and a teller of compelling stories. We invite you to come out to celebrate two new books by C.K. Williams just published this fall. \nIn Writers Writing Dying\, he retains the essential parts of his poetic identity—his candor\, the drama of his verses\, the social conscience of his themes—while slyly reinventing himself\, re-casting his voice\, and in many poems examining the personal—sexual desire\, the hubris of youth\, the looming specter of death—more bluntly and bravely than ever. In “Prose\,” he confronts his nineteen year-old self\, who despairs of writing poetry\, with the question “How could anyone know this little?” In a poem of meditation\, “The Day Continues Lovely\,” he radically expands the scale of his attention: “Meanwhile cosmos roars on with so many voices we can’t hear ourselves think. Galaxy on. Galaxy off.  Universe on\, but another just behind this one . . . ” Even the poet’s own purpose is questioned; in “Draft 23” he asks\, “Between scribble and slash—are we trying to change the world by changing the words?” With this wildly vibrant collection—by turns funny\, moving\, and surprising—Williams proves once again that\, he has\, in Michael Hofmann’s words\, “as much scope and truthfulness as any American poet since Lowell and Berryman.” \n  \n\nIn Time collects C.K. Williams’s best recent prose along with an illuminating series of interview excerpts in which he discusses a wide range of subjects\, from his own work as a poet and translator to the current state of American poetry as a whole. \nC. K. Williams is professor of creative writing at Princeton University. He is the author of eighteen books of poetry\, including Repair and The Singing\, as well as several books of prose\, mostly recently On Whitman. \n  \nFor more information and events at Labyrinth Books click here.
