Negotiations February

The February Negotiations panel is scheduled for Friday, February 23 at 2pm in 421 HL.

Negotiations is designed as both a showcase for ongoing work produced by graduate students, and a workshop for papers that go on to be presented and published in the academic community. For this reason, it's important for everyone to attend, to make sure that the papers that have "Syracuse University English Department" attached to them are the very best that they can be. Mark your calendars!

Meghan Boyle will be presenting from her paper "From Nanook of the North to Survivor: The Entertainment of Imperialism."

Rachel Collins will contribute a presentation entitled "'Living was an ache': Authorial Distance and Indentification in Experiments of Class Transvestism".

Finally Soumitree Gupta will read from her "Resignifying Female Desire: Regulation and Resistance in Post-War Psychiatric Melodramas on the Mad Woman".

See you all there!

Matt Hotham's Early Art, back in print!

Early Art, a chapbook of 11 poems from 3rd year MFA Matt Hotham, is now in its second printing from Turtle Creek Press.

Jane Cassady, author of An Awkward Kind of Faith and host of Monday Night Poetry, says that Matt "humanizes political life while letting NO ONE off the hook. He is both fierce and playful. It's not all politics, of course. There are some sweet love poems with just the right ratio of emo and remove. I'm not pulling any lines to show you because the book is a treasure map of images, and you should get the privelege of making these discoveries on your own."

Copies are $5, ($7.50 with shipping).
