The Cambridge Reading Series

Friday 12th February, 7.30pm

• Francesca Lisette
• Stephen Rodefer

The Cambridge Reading Series (CRS) is a new cycle of poetry readings taking place at the Faculty of English in Cambridge.

Dialogic in form and international in scope, this dynamic series breaks with the usual format. In addition to reading their own work, poets will also read the work of another poet, bringing a new dimension to the readings.

Each reading will be accompanied by a pamphlet publication featuring a selection of the participating poets’ work and critical responses to them.

The Cambridge Reading Series is made possible by the Judith E. Wilson Fund and organised by English graduate students Ryan Dobran, Ian Heames, Justin Katko, Laura Kilbride, and Mike Wallace-Hadrill.

Judith E. Wilson Drama Studio, Faculty of English, 9 West Road, Cambridge

Admission is free, all welcome. Wine served.

Jacket Moves

Al Filreis and John Tranter:

Dear friends:

We are writing with news of a transition we both deem very exciting.

By the end of 2010, John Tranter and Pam Brown will have put out 40 issues of Jacket (jacketmagazine.com). It began in what John recalls as 'a rash moment' in 1997 - an early all-online magazine, one of the earliest in the world of poetry and poetics, and quite rare for its consistency over the years.

After issue 40, John will retire from thirteen years of intense every-single-day involvement with Jacket, and the entire archive of thousands of web pages will move intact to servers at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, where it will of course be available on the internet to everyone, for free, as always. But the magazine is not ceasing publication: quite the opposite.

Starting with the first issue in 2011, Jacket will have a new home, extra staff and a vigorous future as Jacket2. Jacket and its continuation, Jacket2, will be hosted by the Kelly Writers House and PennSound at the University of Pennsylvania.

The connection with PennSound, a vast and growing archive of audio recordings of poetry performance, discussion and criticism, is seen as a valuable additional facet of the new magazine, as is the relationship with busy Kelly Writers House, a lively venue for day-to-day poetic interchange of all kinds. The synergy in this three-way relationship has great potential.

...

More news about Jacket2 in the weeks and months to come.
