Our selection for March is the controversial modern British play Closer by Patrick Marber. This is a brilliant exploration into the brutal anatomy of modern romance, where a quartet of strangers meet, fall in love, and become caught up in a web of sexual desire and betrayal. Closer has been hailed as one of the best plays of the nineties, and as the London Observer noted, it "has wired itself into the cultural vocabulary in a way that few plays have ever done." Please join us for this lively discussion of this brutally thought-provoking drama.
Start: 7:00 pm
A trio of poets, each of whom lives, works, and writes in the Pacific Northwest, share the stage tonight to read from recently published work. Derek Sheffield will read from his new chapbook, A Revised Account of the West (Iowa State University Press), the inaugural winner of the Hazel Lipa Environmental Chapbook Award. The 2007 writer-in-residence at the Bernheim Research Forest in Kentucky, he teaches at Wenatchee Valley College. Also tonight are Olympia-based teacher and poet Kevin Miller, whose Home & Away: The Old Town Poems (Pleasure Boat Studio) invites readers and listeners into a "home" of memories and dreams. Allen Braden, whose work has appeared in Georgia Review, Prairie Schooner, and elsewhere, celebrates the publication of A Wreath of Down and Drops of Blood (VQR/University of Georgia Press).
