Altered Books by Jane R. Lubin
Sunday, May 2, 2010 Jorie Graham was born in New York City in 1950, the daughter of a journalist and a sculptor. She was raised in Rome, Italy and educated in French schools. She studied philosophy at the Sorbonne in Paris before attending New York University as an undergraduate, where she studied filmmaking. She received an MFA in poetry from the University of Iowa. The Times Literary Supplement says, “One of the most intelligent poets in the language . . . [Graham] is like no one else, neither in her rhythms nor in her insistence on opening up, scrutinizing, and even reversing our experience of time and space.”
Poet’s Voice is supported by the Horace E. Manacher Poetry Fund.
Monday, May 3, 2010 SHE LOVES ME Film Festival is in conjunction with the Westport Country Playhouse's production of the play She Loves Me, with dialogue by Joe Masteroff, music by Jerry Bock, and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, from April 20-May 8. See three classic films with different versions of the same story, a story that clearly has not lost any of its interest from the 1930s (when the original play premiered) to the early sixties (when the musical premiered) to the internet age (with You've Got Mail).
