Hello, The following event may be of interest to you: Hymns & Qualms Tuesday, October 17, 2017 MacArthur winner Peter Cole reads from his new book, Hymns & Qualms: New and Selected Poems and Translations. Praised for his “prosodic mastery” and “keen moral intelligence” (American Poets), and for the “rigor, vigor, joy, and wit” of his poetry (The Paris Review), Cole has created a vital, unclassifiable body of work. His poetry, writes Ben Lerner, “is remarkable for its combination of intellectual rigor with delight in surface, for how its prosody returns each abstraction to the body, linking thought and breath, metaphysics and musicality. Religious, erotic, elegiac, pissed off – the affective range is wide and the forms restless.” “Hymns & Qualms is a majestic work, a chronicle of the imaginative life of a profoundly spiritual consciousness.”—Harold Bloom For more info please contact [email protected] Time: 5:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 Location: Weis Cinema Sponsor: Classical Studies Program; Interdisciplinary Study of Religions Program; Jewish Studies Program; Middle Eastern Studies Program; Written Arts Program If you would like to see more events please visit the following URL: http://www.bard.edu/academics/programs/literature_dev/events
