Creative/Critical Colloquium a success!

Thanks to all of you who made it out to the Creative/Critical Colloquium on Tuesday! We had a great time. Justin Wolfe read from an essay about watching television with his Alzheimer's-suffering grandmother, which Aaron Kessler then presented on, emphasizing Justin's use of repetition and recursion. Michael Mlekoday then performed several poems and John McGlothlin tied together some of the common themes and images across Michael’s work. Last (but not least!), Deb Kim read a short story about an unexpected transformation, paired with poetry by Bethany Carlson. Natalie Bainter then brought the common threads of their work together in her own interpretation. Those of you who did not make it to this event should absolutely join us in the spring!


And many thanks to GSAC’s Lynn Ramert for braving the crowds at Pizza X to bring us a smorgasboard of delicious pies! We raised a total of $104 for Adam Sarnecki’s family. (On Tuesday night, Pizza X amassed a total of $11,155 in sales and $3,425 in donations.)
