February 22, 2008This just in ... or at least, just discovered in my mailbox: Robert Pinsky, former U.S. Poet Laureate and recent author of the well-received Gulf Music, will speak 7:30 p.m. March 5 at Temple Emanu-El, 8500 Hillcrest Ave. With Billy Collins appearing at Collin County Community College at 7 p.m. Wednesday, it's a rather glorious season for poetry fans. The entry "Robert Pinsky in Dallas" has no entry tags. On a more expected note, here's a look at what we'll have in store for you Sunday in GuideLive: Before you pop the popcorn and make your final Oscar pool picks, get a dose of real Hollywood history with “Pictures at a Revolution: Five Movies and the Birth of the New Hollywood,” by Mark Harris, and some fictional fun with “Oscar Season,” by Mary McNamara. Legendary politician Willie Brown will be in Dallas on Thursday. Learn about him in “Basic Brown: My Life and Our Times.” "My Enemy’s Cradle," by Sara Young, brings a Nazi breeding program to light. (Watch for an excerpt on the blog Sunday.) Plus -- Si Dunn takes a look at recent Texas and Southwest titles. The entry "Sneak Peek at Sunday's reviews" has no entry tags. Sorry, it's Friday. And this story about the son of Ken Kesey invoking the family legacy -- not to mention the bus -- to save a wrestling program just struck me as ... unexpected? The entry "Literature as an ... athletic supporter?" has no entry tags. |
