Salutations!

April is Poetry Month!  Events are happening all over town, and Poetry in Your Pocket Day is April 24th (we’ll have some printed up for you, stop in!).   George Bilgere just had a book signing here for his new poetry collection, Imperial, and we’ll host some poetry classes from Case Western Reserve University, John Carroll University, and some folks from Erie PA, as well as hosting our own Broadsides and Ephemera, an open mic event for poets and other writers.   Please join us!

 

We also have two Book Fairs this month.  One is a week-long residency at Hathaway Brown School, for their students.  The other is the NOBS Antiquarian Book Fair in Akron, at the John S. Knight Center, on April 18 and 19.  But now, it’s time to eat some books.

Classics Club

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.

~ monthly art exhibition ~

Robert Raack received an MFA in Painting from Kent State University and went on to teach Painting, Drawing and Design at the University of Akron, the Cleveland Institute of Art, Youngstown State and Orange Art Center.  Mr. Raack draws and paints from direct observation with the emphasis on seeing how color relationships function to convey a sense of light and space.  He has completed over 30 commissioned paintings over the past twelve years, with more than half those for Case Western Reserve University. Mr. Raack has exhibited in numerous regional, national and international juried exhibitions winning numerous awards.
