-
- Worcester Polytechnic Institute's one and only creative arts magazine,
- PATHWAYS, is sponsoring a STUDENT POETRY READING.
-
-
- If YOU are a student attending a NEW ENGLAND COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY and you
- would like to read some of your own ORIGINAL works is a relaxed and
- receptive setting please contact us. WPI and other schools in the
- Worcester Consortium have been holding readings together every couple of
- months for the last year and a half. Pathways, in deciding to help
- continue a developing tradition, has decided to open this opportunity
- up to any student in New England. Of course, we will have to limit the
- number of readers due time constraints, but everyone who wants to come and
- at least watch is invited and its FREE.
-
-
- MORE DETAILS FOR THE TRULY INTERESTED
-
- Date: Tuesday DEC. 1st
-
- Time: 7pm - Until we finish (approx 10pm)
-
- Where: Gompei's Place on the WPI Campus (directions to follow later)
-
- If you want to read:
-
- We will be looking for approximately 30 people to read on the night of the
- show. We expect (or hope) that we will receive responses from more than 30
- people. We will be giving preference to Worcester Constortium students
- first, after that readers will be chosen on a first come (reply) first serve
- basis. So if you really want to read, reply quickly, BUT if you are
- associated with a Literary/creative Arts magazine at your school, get
- together and PLEASE reply as a group. Another restriction we are imposing is
- that there can be no more than four readers from one school - we trying to
- maintain a level of diversity and we don't want a group coming in and
- dominating the mix (this doesn't quite add up in all senses, but that's
- poetic license for you). Also, when you reply, PLEASE include the good,
- trivial type of information we will need to make decent introductions (i.e.
- names, majors, yr. in school, wahtever). We also ask that you try to be
- as firm as possible in your commitment. We expect that some people will
- have to cancel out after we have made our final plans, but try and be sure
- because you can't have a reading without poets.
-
- Each poet will be given approximately 5 minutes on stage. That is not a
- whole heck of a long time, but we like to keep things moving. If you
- don't spend too much time on stage shuffling your papers and your works
- aren't tremendoulsy long, you can fit in 4 or 5 poems easily. You will
- not be clocked while you are reading, but we expect that everyone will
- be fair to the other readers and present themselves accordingly.
-
-
- Once we have received enough responses we will create a list of readers for
- the reading. That and further media blitz type of stuff will be posted
- here and elsewhere. Even if you don't get to read, we still encourage you
- to attend. It should be quite a kick and readings are always the best place
- to make contacts regarding future readings (as if you didn't know that - seems
- obvious, doesn't it?).
-
- Directions:
-
- From the East:
-
- Take 495 (N or S, depending on where you're at) to 290 W. Take 290 W
- to exit 18. At the bottom of the exit, there is a set of lights. Stop at the
- lights if need be (i.e. red or *very* yellow light) and then when feasible take
- a right off of the exit. About a whole 40 yards later, take another right and
- have some fun merging with traffic( you are now on salisbury st.) Once you've
- had your fill of that (it
- shouldn't take long) you will come to a set of lights. Go straight through
- these lights. You will come to another set of lights - go straight thru these
- lights too. You will come to a third set of lights - go straight thru these.
- You will begin to ascend a small hill. There will be a park on the right
- and a few brick buildings on the left (the wpi campus). When you reach the top
- of this hill take a left (on to west street). About 100M later take a right
- into the visitors parking lot. Park there if you can find space. If you have
- entered the visitors parking lot and succesfully parked whilst maintaining the
- same orientiation with which you have entered the parking lot Riley hall should
- be on your left. Gompei's is in the basement of Riley hall.
-
-
- From The West:
-
- Take the Mass Pike to 290 East. Take 290 east to the Lincoln Sq. exit. There
- is a set of lights at the top of the exit. Take a left off the exit. Go
- straight through your next 5 sets of lights (you are on highland street, also
- known as rt. 9). At the 6th set of lights, take a Right onto west st. You
- will come to a four way stop one block later. Go straight thru that. Take
- your next left into the visitors parking lot. See the above directions on how
- to find gompeis from there.
-
- NOTE : Sanford Riley hall and Riley hall are the same building.
