Tuesday, 9/19

• 3:00 PM: Volunteer Info meeting for Gear Up after-school writing program with 7th graders at Lea Elementary
• 4:30 PM: The Alumni Visitors Series presents a workshop on story structure with Adam Sexton
  Adam Sexton is Dean of Faculty at Gotham Writers' Workshop, New York City's largest school of creative writing, and an alumnus of Penn's College of Arts and Sciences (B.A. in English, 1984). At Penn he wrote for the D .P. and 34th Street and the Summer Pennsylvanian for two years. Mr. Sexton received his MFA in 1993 from the Writing Division at Columbia University's School of the Arts. Since then he has been a teacher of writing at Rutgers, Marymount Manhattan College, and for Gotham; under the auspices of the latter he has taught 50 or so 10-week and One-Day workshops.
  This program will discuss and emphasize story structure. That is, what exactly makes a story a story, and how can a fledgling writer construct one that will satisfy an audience's expectations regarding the form? Following Mr. Sexton's lecture he will lead a writing exercise that guides students through the creation of an outline for a story they can write on their own, after which he will try to answer any questions the audience may have about the fundamentals of storytelling as well as questions about Master's programs in creative writing.

• 7:00 PM: Join us for a reading featuring contributors to the anthology AMERICAN POETRY: THE NEXT GENERATION. Featuring poets Carole Bernstein, A.V. Christie, Tom Devaney, Thomas Sayers Ellis, Douglas Goetsch, Joe Osterhaus, and Lisa Sewell.
  "How great to have a single book, like a gigantic Whitman's Sampler, that really does represent some of the best new voices from the last ten years. If you really like good poetry that isn't full of b. s. and truly reflects current interests and experience, then get this book; it is extremely deserving of a place on your bookshelf."--The Bay Guardian
  "Who will be the next American poets to sing our song? Lacking a crystal ball, the next best place to look may very well be this latest anthology which gathers the work of 174 poets born no earlier than 1960."--The Virginia Quarterly Review

Fidget is Goldsmith's transcription of every movement made by his body during thirteen hours on Bloomsday (June 16), 1997. Originally commissioned by the Whitney Museum of American Art as a collaboration with vocalist Theo Bleckmann, Fidget attempts to reduce the body to a catalogue of mechnical movements by a strict act of observation. The online edition of Fidget at www.chbooks.com includes the full text, a self-running Java applet version written by programmer Clem Paulsen, and a selection of RealAudio recordings from Theo Bleckmann's vocal/visual performance at the Whitney on Bloomsday, 1998.

To be eligible for the Pew Fellowships you must be a Pennsylvania resident of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery or Philadelphia county, be 25 years of age or older, and you may not be a full or part-time matriculated student.

Tuesday, 9/26

• 5:00 PM: The Writers House welcomes Gerd Stern for a reading and discussion, followed by a dinner (RSVP for dinner required to wh@writing.upenn.edu or 215-746-POEM).
  Gerd Stern's book First Poems and Others was published in 1952. A second volume, Afterimage appeared in 1965. During the early sixties Stern started using cut out words to create visual collages, and soon after that started making kinetic pieces using flashing lights, and electro-mechanical components to construct poem sculptures. These were first shown at New York's Alan Stone Gallery and in Stern's first one-person show at the San Francisco Museum of Art. The next phase of work included multi-channel word visuals and sounds cut out of the real world, titled "the Verbal American Landscape." Influenced by Marshall McLuhan's written work, Stern appeared and was associated with McLuhan for a number of years. Stern was one of the founders of "USCO" a group of artists, engineers and poets creating multi-media performances and environments which toured the U.S. museum and university venues during the sixties. Their work appeared at the Museum of Modern Art, Brandeis University, University of California, Walker Art Museum, the Riverside Museum and many others. USCO also designed one of the first multi-media discotheques, named, "The World" featured on the cover of Life Magazine. Stern now lives in New Jersey and also spends time at his home, "Poetreef" on the island of Jamaica. Click here for more info about Gerd Stern.
