In preparation for the G.C. Waldrep reading on Monday, October 8th, the Caxton Club will be hosting a reading group to discuss three of Waldrep's poems. The expectation is to create familiarity with the visiting poet's work and to encourage thoughtful questions after the reading. This event will take place in the Alumni Room of Old Main from 4 to 5 this Friday. The readings are available at the Seymour Library on Reserve under File 201 and can be delivered directly to campus mailboxes. Those interested in physical copies should please email lassaf@knox.edu.
Also, all are welcome to Caxton Club on Monday, October 8 at 4 o'clock in the Alumni Room, Old Main, where we are honored to present poet G.C. Waldrep, author of Goldbeater's Skin (Colorado, 2003) and Disclamor (Boa, 2007). Books will be available for the author to sign. Refreshments will also be served.
You'll get three minutes to beat a drum, read a poem, tell a joke, spin a yarn, conjure magic, sing a duet, belt a yodel, perform a monologue, pluck a guitar, improv some improv, a rap, a dance, a tap, a whistle--or anything else you can do for your three minutes of fame. Former participants include students, faculty, and staff of Knox College, as well as students and instructors from Carl Sandburg College and Galesburg High School.
Interested? Contact Chris Astwood (castwood@knox.edu) to get on the advance signup list. Questions? Contact Gina Franco (gfranco@knox.edu or x7087). After the first 10 performances, the floor is open to anyone in the room. Off Knox welcomes everyone in Galesburg and the surrounding communities.
