George Bilgere,
ImperialThursday, April 3, 7-8pm
~ special event ~
In Imperial, George Bilgere's sixth collection of poetry, he continues his exploration of the beauties, mysteries, and absurdities of being middle-aged and middle-class in mid-America. In poems that range from the Cold War anxieties of the 1950s to the perils and predicaments of an aging Boomer in a post-9/11 world, Bilgere's rueful humor and slippery syntax become a trapdoor that at any moment can plunge the reader into the abyss. In Bilgere's world a yo-yo morphs into an emblem for the atomic bomb. A spot of cancer flames into the Vietnam War. And the death of a baseball player reminds us, in this age of disbelief, of the importance--the necessity--of myth.

Italo
Calvino: If On A Winter's Night A Traveler
Thursday, April 24, 7pm
~ fourth Thursdays ~
** changing to fourth Wednesdays starting May 28 **
Avant-garde novel by Italo Calvino, published in
1979 as Se una notte d'inverno un viaggiatore.
Using shifting structures, a succession of tales, and
different points of view, the book probes the nature of
change and chance and the interdependence of fiction and
reality. The novel, which is nonlinear, begins with a man
discovering that the copy of a novel he has recently
purchased is defective, a Polish novel having been bound
within its pages. He returns to the bookshop the following
day and meets a young woman who is on an identical
mission. They both profess a preference for the Polish
novel. Interposed between the chapters in which the two
strangers attempt to authenticate their texts are 10
excerpts that parody genres of contemporary world fiction,
such as the Latin-American novel and the political novel
of eastern Europe.
