The Feminist Research Institute invites you to a lecture:
"Historical Romance and Representation: Jovita González and Eve Raleigh’s Collaboration and Correspondence"
Leigh Johnson,
Wednesday, October 6th
12:00- 1:00 pm
SUB, Cherry/Silver
Jovita González and Eve Raleigh (Margaret Eimer) coauthored the 1934 novel Caballero, yet critics continue to assign most of the content to Gonzàlez. The historical romance features relationships between Tejanos/as and Anglos that signify changes in the political climate of South Texas. Letters from Eimer to González suggest a collaborative effort unrecognized by scholars. Leigh Johnson will discuss the letter, politics of collaboration, and what recognizing collaboration means for Chicana studies.

Research Lecture: Poetic Vocabulary, BASIC English, and the Art of Robert Creeley
The Department of English and the English Graduate Student Association Present:
Poetic Vocabulary, BASIC English, and the Art of Robert Creeley
A Research Lecture Delivered By:Dr. Matthew Hofer, Assistant Professor of English
Monday, September 20, 2010
1:00pm-2:00pm
SUB—Acoma Rooms A&B
“Every revolution in poetry,” as T. S. Eliot declared, “is apt to be, and sometimes to announce itself to be a return to common speech.” Robert Creeley, a major twentieth-century American poet who earned his M.A. at UNM, aimed to be the author of just such a revolution. This lecture will reveal what Creeley’s enormously influential early style owes to I. A. Richards and C. K. Ogden’s stripped-down artificial language, BASIC English. Hardly designed to be a medium for literature—the acronym stands for British, American, Scientific, Industrial, Commercial—this 850-word vocabulary nevertheless has surprising modernist credentials: in the 1930s it briefly captured Ezra Pound’s imagination and was used to translate James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake. Dr. Hofer’s lecture will make the case for why BASIC English fascinated Creeley, elucidate what it made possible for an innovative poet after World War II, and explain how the art of a common language matters for literary criticism and history.
The event is free and open to the public.

Richard Vargas: Poetry Journal Inaugural Publication
The Más Tequila Review, edited by MFA student Richard Vargas, will celebrate its inaugural publication at Albuquerque’s newest independent bookstore in the NE Heights, Alamosa Books, (8810 Holly NE, Ste. D, 505-797-7101.) The event is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 19, 2-5 PM. Free and open to the public.

There will also be an open mic (subject to time available.)
Los Angeles poet Michael C Ford wrote: “…I paged slowly thru Mas Tequila and assimilated what turned out to be total ambrosia… not a false note in these poems, practically seamless integrity of language… a lesson all who do indie publishing should learn: only print the words which have the ring of truth.”
Poet and retired UNM professor E.A. “Tony” Mares writes: "In the Malpaís Review, the words of poetry turn the badlands of the heart and of the disappearing natural landscape into fertile vistas for a better world, for the good lands we all desire."
