Upcoming VLP & English Events
On Friday 4/18,
the English Department's final visitor of the semester will be on campus
delivering a lecture. The Colloquium will be held at 3:30
in Farber Hall, and the speaker is Courtney Lehmann, Associate
Professor of English and Film Studies at the University of the Pacific in Stockton,
California. She is the author of Shakespeare Remains: Theater to
Film, Early Modern to Postmodern, published by Cornell UP, as well as two
volumes of Shakespeare and Screen criticism. Currently, she has three
books under contract. Her talk will be entitled "Kiss Me Katrina:
Cold Wars, Global Warming, and Compassionate Capitalism, or, Macbeth—The
Reality." The event is free and open to the public.
The pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous feeling of the
words being there, written in invisible ink and clamoring to become
visible. ~Vladimir Nabakov
Hi, all. Next week, April 24, 7-9
p.m. at the Coffee Shop Gallery, downtown Vermillion, is our LAST
reading/slam of the year, and a very special one. We will be launching this
year’s magazine (which looks completely boss, groovy, amazing, etc.), and
officially announcing the winners of and awarding prizes for the Comic Contest.
Our featured readers this month will be folks whose work was included in this
year’s mag, including, we hope, our short story contest winners. The slam
will follow, open to anyone as usual.
We hope to see you all there for this wonderful celebration
of our VLP (both here and afar) collective genius!
If you can see your path laid out
in front of you step by step,
you know it's not your path.
Your own path you make with every step you take.
That's why it's your path.
