SUMMARY:The Sonnet: From Sidney to Seuss Poetry Workshop with Michael Mercurio
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: Originating in Sicily in the 13th Century\, the sonnet (from the Italian sonetto\, “little song”) is a beloved form for English-language poets\, beginning in the 16th Century with Sir Phillip Sidney. In the 500 years that have followed\, the sonnet has been used — and changed — by poets to think through big questions about existence\, love\, and morality.  \n\n\n\nOver the 8 weeks of this survey course\, we will read through chronological examples of the sonnet to consider shifts in style over time. We will also cover the formal elements of the sonnet (e.g.\, prosody\, rhyme scheme) to provide students with a working basic understanding of these elements.  \n\n\n\nEach week\, students enrolled in the class will be provided with a packet of sonnets to be covered during each session. Students will also be asked to write a sonnet each week in the style of one of the sample poets and will have the opportunity to share it and discuss the experience of writing in that style.

SUMMARY:Still Healing - Author Event with Rosalind Kaplan
DESCRIPTION:Visit Moore Books for drinks\, snacks\, and conversation with Rosalind Kaplan (Nonfiction\, June 2020) about her memoir in essays\, Still Healing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe American view of doctors vacillates between seeing them as heroes with hearts of gold and nerves of steel and disparaging them as arrogant\, callous\, and careless. The truth lies between: Doctors are human beings with professional training that\, at best\, allows them to heal people and\, at worst\, to harm or even hasten death. Still Healing\, a memoir in essays\, explores the complicated realm of medical training\, practice\, and culture. With vulnerability and humor\, it gives a glimpse into the world of a doctor and an honest and sometimes searing view of our healthcare system.
