SUMMARY:Poet and Professor Haryette Mullen receives the 2019 George Drury Smith Award
DESCRIPTION:The Beyond Salon will be a sparkling evening of words\, music\, food\, wine\, and wit. Join us in honoring our executive director emeritus Richard Modiano for his years of exemplary service to Beyond Baroque; the visionary poet and UCLA English professor Harryette Mullen for her outstanding achievements in poetry; Get Lit-Words Ignite founder and director Diane Luby Lane for her service to the young poets of Los Angeles; and UCLA professor and writer Johanna Drucker for her extraordinary generosity in organizing and cataloguing Beyond Baroque’s 50\,000 item archive. \nThe Beyond Salon takes its inspiration from the legendary Algonquin Round Table\, where a circle of supremely inventive writers\, actors\, critics & playwrights gathered for a daily mixture of lunch and biting wit. Guests at The Beyond Salon have the option of purchasing a regular ticket to the dinner\, or of selecting a special salon seating ticket that will allow them to be seated at a table host from the poetry\, literary\, music\, and art worlds\, and which will allow them entry to a pre-dinner reception with the hosts. All guests will get to enjoy an evening of entertainment and lively conversation. \nTickets

SUMMARY:Reading Poetry at the Hammer
DESCRIPTION:Love\, science\, and politics collide in Richard Kenney’s most recent collection\, Terminator: Poems\, 2008–2018\, organized around the so-called terminator—the line\, perpendicular to the equator\, that divides night from day. The poet’s division of light verse from darker poems serves to remind us that what makes us laugh is often dead serious\, and what’s most serious might best be understood through wordplay and an ironic eye. Kenney is the author of four previous books of poetry\, The Evolution of the Flightless Bird\, Orrery\, The Invention of the Zero\, and The One-Strand River. He is a MacArthur Fellow and an English professor at the University of Washington. \nCoffee and tea served. Book signing to follow. \nReadings are organized and hosted by poet\, literary critic\, and UCLA distinguished professor emeritus Stephen Yenser. Cosponsored by the UCLA Department of English and the UCLA Department of Cultural and Recreational Affairs. \nFor Free tickets visit: https://hammer.ucla.edu/programs-events/2019/11/poetry-richard-kenney/ \n
