Library poetry series
The series “Making It New — the Origins of Modern Poetry," sponsored by the Rappahannock County Library continues with a discussion and video of works of the unusual poet, Elizabeth Bishop. The program will be held at the new auditorium at Rappahannock County High School at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 4. The large-screen video program (originally shown on PBS) shows exotic documentary footage of Brazilian and North American images and artifacts which convey Bishop s acute visual sense and her penetrating, idiosyncratic attention to poetic detail. The discussion will be led by George Mason University English professor and award-winning poet, Peter Klappert. The poetry series is made possible through a grant from the American Library Association and the National Endowment for the Arts. For further information and poetry materials, call the library at 675-3780.
