    1. Jan 25 Day-Long Saturday Writing Retreat10:00am

      Day-Long Saturday Writing Retreat

      Saturday, January 25th, 2020

      10:00 AM - 05:00 PM

      Storrs Campus
      Augustus Storrs Hall, Widmer Wing, Rm.016

      Day-Long Saturday Writing Retreat
      ***advance registration required***

      Carving out time to do serious academic writing during the semester can be tough. But finding a place to do it–and a support network of fellow grad students–doesn’t have to be!
      Modeled on Stanford University’s dissertation boot camp and UConn faculty writing retreats, the Writing Center and the Graduate Student Senate sponsor days to write–complete with coffee in the mornings and afternoons, with an optional hour break for lunch. (Feel free to bring your own lunch and snacks.)
      The goal of this initiative is to provide a distraction-free environment where participants can write. You should come prepared, bringing your notes, books, and laptops, so that you can spend the time getting words on the page. These sessions are not workshops, and no writing instruction will be provided.
      We encourage you to stay all day, but half-day tickets are available, too.
      Go to: http://writingcenter.uconn.edu/writing-retreats/ for registration information.

    5. Mar 25 Wallace Stevens Poetry Program6:00pm

      Wallace Stevens Poetry Program

      Wednesday, March 25th, 2020

      06:00 PM - 08:00 PM

      Storrs Campus
      Alumni Center

      Wallace Stevens Poetry Program
      57th Annual Wallace Stevens Poetry Program with D. A. Powell.
      March 25 at UConn Alumni Center. 6pm reception, 7pm reading.
      March 26 at Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts, 9:30am.
      Both readings are free and open to the public

      Acclaimed poet D.A. Powell has been praised for both his gravity and his wit. As one critic wrote, “No accessible poet of his generation is half as original, and no poet as original is this accessible.” Powell’s early books Tea (1998), Lunch (2000), and Cocktails (2004) are often read as a trilogy on the AIDS epidemic. Powell’s fourth book, Chronic (2009), won the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. His latest collection, Useless Landscape, or A Guide for Boys (2012), won the National Book Critics Circle Award for poetry. Fellow writer Carl Phillips describes Powell’s poems as “entirely of-the-moment while at every turn [announcing] … not merely an awareness, but an actual confidence with such prosodic traditions as the heroic couplet and the pentameter line, such cultural and literary traditions as those of the Old Testament and of meaningfully comic punning…. No fear, here, of heritage nor of music nor, refreshingly, of authority. Mr. Powell recognizes in the contemporary the latest manifestations of a much older tradition: namely, what it is to be human.” Powell has taught at Harvard University and Columbia University, and is currently a Professor at the University of San Francisco.
