Tomorrow Night It's Mexican Night at the poetry Workshop

Above see Lynn Vartan, extraordinary percussionist back from her Mexican tour with stories, photos and a Mexican feast. Last week's workshop was a great one, here see Don Campbell, in center, Debbie Kolodji at left, CaLokie between them, and the great Marvin Dorsey on the right, all immersed in poetic thought. Tomorrow Night we'll have our regular poetry workshop followed by a special presentation by Lynn Vartan and Dorian about their recent trip to Mexico. Lynn was on tour as guest percussionist with the Tambuco Ensemble in Mexico City. She and Dorian are guest chief chefs in Kath's Kitchen--we'll all prepare some especially loved dishes from their trip.

A Poetic Night at the Opera: Thursday Poetry Workshop May 24, 2007

Thursday Night Poetry continues tomorrow night, each poet brings a new poem for critique and discussion. Photo from last week's workshop, Kath read "Meet Me There". To her right in photo, is Debbie Kolodji, who read her poem "Cruising San Francisco Bay". Justin Kibbe read "That is Not Super Woman" and Marvin Dorsey read "Shadow Boxing". A rousing 3 part "Not the Brother John Round" written by CaLokie, (far right, enjoying Kath's Puerto Rican style plantain soup and empanadas) was read by him, Kath and Marvin, most riotously to everyone's delight. Dinner snacks this week will be Italian (lasagne and eggplant parmagian) in honor of the Caltech recent opera chorus concert. For our entertainment we'll show excerpts from Rick's film of last weekend's shows, with Kath in the alto section.

This Thursday Poetry Workshop and Glass Flute show and play: tomorrow, May 17, 2007

Thursday Evening Poetry Workshop carried on in style while we were in Puerto Rico (here's the group waving to us on one of the days we were gone...from our own living room!) This week the workshop will begin promptly at 6:30, dinner snacks served and poetry started immediately. Afterwards, Rick will provide the entertainment, a presentation of his rare crystal glass flute, made in France by Claude Laurent in 1834. He'll play one set of Variations by Jean Louis Tulou which is music of the time, and would have been played on such a flute. Announcement: Look see our CaLokie is the new featured poet on Kath's Ephemeral Poetry Blog. It was such a delight to be able to do this... and I am not finished. More photos and some sound files to come. This week Thursday workshop, at 7:30 Kath has to leave go to an important choral rehearsal, for the Glee Club Concert at Caltech. (It's free and all opera, very entertaining. It's 8 P.M. on Friday and Saturday nights on the Caltech campus. Friday at Dabney Lounge, Saturday at Ramo Auditorium. The locations are right across from one another, near the center of campus and very close to our house. Park there. Here's the Caltech map More reports will follow here...I am planning to make links to ur past Thursdays, with all ur traveling I have not shown you glimpses of the past few weeks and they were wonderful! More soon, and see you Thursday!

Poetry Workshop this Thursday May 3, 2007 at the Wilsons! Please Attend!

Thursday Night Poetry will be in full poetic swing at Kath and Rick's again this week, even though (thanks to the man on the left) they are hosting from San Juan Puerto Rico! Professor Herealal Janwa, our host, invited Rick to work on mathematical collaborations here at the University, and so Kath is along, having her poetry influenced by the rainforests. Please follow our adventures at our Puerto Rico Trip Page. We are posting regular updates, including links to Kath's poetry written during our stay. She'd love it if someone read their favorite so far! Dinner was made for Thursday before we left, and it will be defrosted for serving on Thursday. Steven Radice will present an unusual entertainment singing favorites on guitar and ukulele after the workshop. We're hoping everyone will come and keep our house warm and full of poetry while we are gone. Kath is looking forward to interesting reportd and poems when she comes home!
