Sunday afternoon was the
semi-annual International Multilingual Poetry Reading in Patterson Lounge
sponsored by the Spanish Department, the Spanish club and Music Club.
There was a great turn out to
hear poetry read in 14 different languages including Latin, Urdu, Nepali, Irish
and Punjabi. There were also wonderful musical interludes brought to us by the
newly formed music club.
The Labyrinth Project was
represented in Bea Sanford’s reading of Sharon Erby’s poem, ‘Indiangrass’. This
poem was awarded first place in the staff/faculty division of the Bottom Shelf
Review creative writing invitational and can be read at the April 9 entry on
this blog.
It is amazing to me how
language (both spoken and musical) communicates in a way that transcends our
‘understanding’ of a particular language. Perhaps being community together is
our ‘first' language.
