Poetry for Pleasure in the Fall

TUESDAY’S

1-2:15pm

with Barry Wallenstein

hese lectures with discussion will involve close readings of poems – classic, modern, and contemporary. Our aim is to listen to the sound poems make. What makes a successful language performance? We will discuss these works’ emotional truth, unity of expression, and attention-holding, pleasure-providing use of language. Barry is the author of 12 collections of poetry, most recently It’s About Time, as well as Time on the Move and Tony’s Blues (bilingual French and English).  Barry’s new book is Playing in Overtime and is available at Amazon.
