Writers and Books

Event One -- Saturday 1/8 :  3-10 -- Writers and Books, University Ave.
If you like poetry, I hope you will consider attending the Writers and
Books' open house on Saturday which is celebrating their 30th anniversary.

Poetry, Potluck and Pinot !
This is free, and marks the kick-off for celebrating 30 years of W&B, and if
the spirit moves, bring a dish to pass or a  bottle of Pinot (noir, grigio,
gris, etc.) in a sharing poetry, food and wine.
Invite your friends – the more, the merrier.
Here is the current schedule for readings: (more poets are being added all
the time)
4 p.m.:  M.J. Iuppa, Sally Bittner-Bonn, Michael Czarnecki, Linda Allardt
5 p.m.: Jim Longenbach, David Michael Nixon, Donna Marbach, Wanda Schubmehl

7 p.m.: Pat Schwartz, Sam Abrams, Sarah Freligh, Karen VanMeenen, Norm
Davis

Event Two:  Saturday 1/15:  2-3:30, Pittsford Community Library
Come for a free presentation by Miriam Lerner of the video, she and Don
Feigel of RIT directed, "The Heart of the Hydrogen Jukebox".  You might have
heard me explain one of the episodes of Ginsberg reading "Howl" to deaf
students and asking how the interpreter signed "Heart of Hydrogen Jukebox"
-- and how the intricacies of translation go beyond signs into total body
gesture.  Only 6% of a message comes from actual words -- and this film and
Miriam's talk will provide a variety of performance and literary styles of
poets.   
Free, and followed by refreshments, so the library asks that you rsvp -- or
let me know, as I arranged for the event.

Crossroads of the Community: Rochester Pubic Market

















This photography exhibit by Margaret W. Miyake will be on display at St. John Fisher College’s Lavery Library beginning January 7 until February 25, 2011.

There will be an opening reception and talk on Thursday, January 20, from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m., which is open to the public.

Miyake began photographing at the market in 2006, and this exhibit showcases all of the unique aspects of the market, which was voted America’s Favorite Farmer’s Market in 2010. The theme of the exhibit will be incorporated into one of Dr. David Baranov’s sociology classes in the spring semester.

In addition to photographing at the market, she has also photographed several of the farmers at their farms. Her work has been exhibited at the Community Darkroom, the High Falls Gallery, and the Link Gallery at City Hall. Find out more about Miyake at her blog, http://www.miyakephoto.com.
