It's Almost Time for NER Out Loud!

Friday, November 10, 2017 at 8pm

November 9, 2017

N ew England Review is eagerly anticipating the evening of Friday, November 10th and the return of NER Out Loud. Join us at the Middlebury College Dance Theater in the Kevin P. Mahaney ’84 Center for the Arts. Students will read pieces from NER, bringing our authors’ words off the page and onto the stage with their oratory talent.

Last winter’s NER Out Loud, our third, was a great success. Below, please enjoy an encore performance by Josh Espy ’17, reading Maciej Miłkowski’s “The Week of German Cinema,” a work translated from the Polish by Justin Wilmes and appearing in NER 37.4.

 

Tickets for the event are free and open to the public.
No reservation required!

Join Us for the Third Annual "NER Out Loud"

February 24, 8 pm, Middlebury Dance Theatre

February 14, 2017

In partnership with the Mahaney Center for the Arts and Oratory Now, NER is pleased to present the third annual “NER Out Loud” event. Six Middlebury students from Oratory Now will read selected prose and poetry published in NER in 2016. After the show, join us for the “S’More Readings” reception, an opportunity to hear student readers present their original work, collect copies of student publications, and enjoy s’mores and other gourmet treats.

The “Out Loud” readers include Ellen Colton ’19 (reading Alison Stagner’s “Midnight”), Josh Espy ’17 (reading Maciej Milkowski’s “The Week of German Cinema”), Jabari Matthew ’17 (reading Cortney Lamar Charleston’s “Still Life…”), Steven Medina ’17 (reading Alex McElroy’s “Endure”), Melanie Rivera ’19 (reading Alia Volz’s “Chasing Arrows”), and Nia Robinson ’19 (reading Franny Choi’s “The Price of Rain”). Student publications Blackbird, Frame, Middlebury Geographic, and Translingual will be featured at the “S’More Readings” reception.

Please join us on Friday, February 24, at 8 PM in the Dance Theatre in the Kevin P. Mahaney ’84 Center for the Arts. The reception will take place directly outside the theater immediately following the main performance. Admission is free, and all are welcome!

The Week of German Cinema

January 10, 2017

1.

"Sunset" by Ramsay WiseAt this sort of event the audience is, on the one hand, rather specialized—we are talking about culture after all—and on the other hand quite predictable, drawn from among a small, easily quantifiable group of regulars—we are talking about culture after all. A few are recognizable public figures, almost famous, though the fame of literary critics, translators, even poets is a bit different from that of actors, athletes, or singers. Even the most celebrated poet can visit a crowded marketplace without worrying that he will be obsessively accosted, while picking out a handsome ear of corn, by a group of local youths professing their admiration and undying devotion.

Cultural gatherings are also sure to draw a number of academics—steadfastly observing the principle never to veer from their narrow area of specialization. A meeting with a French writer is attended by Romanists, a meeting with a Hungarian writer by Hungarianists. If the relevant languages are not taught at the university in a given city, then discussions with their leading artists often sit empty, if they happen at all. At a recent meeting with a Croatian writer, one such specialist, a lady in the front row—in answer to the translator about whether she needed to translate the Croatian author’s replies—glibly proclaimed, “Of course not! What for?” At the next week’s meeting with a leading Lithuanian writer, somehow I didn’t see this woman.

Writer's Notebook—The Winter Forecast

Shelley Wong

In “The Winter Forecast,” the fashion runway becomes a hibernating place. As a California poet, I was thinking about winters elsewhere, the ones I first saw in children’s books and experienced when I lived in New York City in my twenties.
