Tea, Targets and the Naming of Things

6/26/2017

0 Comments

 
This is a brief reminder that this Wednesday, June 28th, at 4:00pm, we will be having tea (and lemonade and such) and a conversation about A.R. Ammons' short poem "Target". As always, prior experience with poetry, tea, or targets is completely unnecessary--just bring yourself, an openness to the world, and a mild appetite. We will do the rest.

​Something to think about: the "A.R." in "A.R. Ammons" stands for "Archie Randolph". Do we read a poem written by "Archie Ammons" in a different way? What about "Archibald Ammons"? Randy? What other universes or timelines of possibility do we open up when we consider our own initials and middle names? What expectations do we bring to poets and artists to have properly "literary" names?

​Hmmm.
