On Wednesday, April 25, local
poets, including Matthew Cooperman, Cassie Eddington, Marj Hahn, Nancy
Jakobsson, Mary Kay Knief and Veronica Patterson, will be sharing poems
written in response to work of art of their choice, at, appropriately Artworks
on Railroad. At the civilized time of
6:00-7:30 p.m. Nothing like a little ekphrasis
to whet your appetite for dinner at one of downtown Loveland’s great restaurants.
Then, on Thursday, start
your evening (5-7) with an International Poetry reading at Avogadros in Fort Collins. Languages
represented include American Sign, Arabic, Basque, Czech, French, German,
Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Mandarin, Polish, Portuguese, Russian,
Spanish and Swahili. You will be able to
listen to the music of the poetry in the original language and then understand
it more fully in translation.
You can scoot out of there
and over to the Student Center on campus just in time (7:30) for the second
event of the evening—a reading and National Book Critics Circle Award winner,
Ross Gay. Maybe you could even pick up one of his three books to read from
before sleep and make it a triple header!
