SUMMARY:Robert Hass and Essy Stone Mill Valley Library
DESCRIPTION:This event is cosponsored by Poetry Society of America and the Mill Valley Library. This is sure to be a packed event\, so register on the Mill Valley Library website starting on October 15. \n \nRobert Hass\, former United States Poet Laureate\, has illumined the poetic landscape with his many books of poetry\, translation\, and essays. His honors include the National Book Award\, and the Pulitzer Prize. His celebrated books of essays include A Little Book on Form: An Exploration Into the Formal Imagination of Poetry and What Light Can Do: Essays on Art\, Imagination\, and the Natural World\, the recipient of the PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay. Hass translated many of the works of Czeslaw Milosz\, and he edited Selected Poems: 1954-1986 by Tomas Transtromer; The Essential Haiku: Versions of Basho\, Buson\, and Issa; and Modernist Women Poets: An Anthology (with Paul Ebenkamp). His many honors include the MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship\, the National Book Critics’ Circle Award (twice)\, and the Wallace Stevens Award. His poetry is deeply reflective of the California landscape\, domestic life\, and spiritual awareness. To hear him read or speak is transformative\, whether a Haiku from Issa\, a mediation from Miłosz\, or his own lyric work. \n\n\n\n\nEssy Stone is a PhD student in poetry at the University of Southern California. She holds an MFA from the University of Miami\, and recently completed a Wallace Stegner Fellowship at Stanford University. Her work has been published in the New Yorker\, 32 Poems\, and Prairie Schooner. Her first book\, What It Done to Us\, was awarded the Idaho Prize in Poetry and was published by Lost Horse Press in 2017. For much of her life she supported herself as a waitress. Her work reflects the East Tennessee culture in which she grew up\, an often oppressive world\, especially for women or minorities. The freshness of her language and imagery reflect and transform that environment just as she has transformed herself.

SUMMARY:Humanities West presents Late Czarist Russian Artistic Brilliance
DESCRIPTION:Nov 2\, 7:30-9:30pm\, and Nov 3\, 10am-4pm \nLate Czarist Russian Artistic Brilliance is a two-day program of lectures\, discussions\, and musical performances exploring the enduring contributions of Russian art\, music\, and literature created during the twilight years of Czarist Russia. \nThe phrase “European with Asian characteristics” expresses an continuing fascination with the prolific contributions to world culture created during the late 1800’s by Russian artists\, including the music of Tchaikovsky\, Scriabin\, Rachmaninoff\, Stravinsky\, and Prokofiev; the artwork of Kramskoy\, Repin\, and Levitan; and the writings of Pushkin\, Gogol\, Turgenev\, Tolstoy\, Dostoevsky\, and Chekhov. This program will examine the cultural and historical influences that helped Russians\, and then the rest of the West\, to recognize and to reward the gifts of these Russian artists. \nThe Friday evening program opens with A Russian Success Story\, a lecture/performance by Robert Greenberg\, confirming the emergence of a concert music tradition in 19th-century Russia as one of the great success stories in the history of European art. Russia began the 19th century with virtually no native tradition of concert\, or “literate music.” This talk shows how\, by the end of the century\, Russia was able to export music across the globe and boast two of the world’s greatest schools of music\, while producing composers who would change the nature of European literate music. \nSaturday presenters are Luba Golburt (UC Berkeley) with a presentation on Pushkin or Gogol: Two Blueprints for 19th-Century Russian Literature\, Gary Hamburg (Claremont-McKenna College) with Dostoevsky and the Golden Age of Russian Literature\, and Molly Brunson (Yale) on Painting the Russian Word. \nThe program includes a musical performance introduced by Clifford ‘Kip’ Cranna (SF Opera). Excerpts from Tchaikovsky’s brilliant operatic setting of Pushkin’s verse novel Eugene Onegin will be performed by soprano Rhoslyn Jones and baritone Eugene Brancoveanu. \n$25-$80. \nPresented by Humanities West.
