Please insert the word "additional" where more is. I do not want you to
think I intended to imply that this was more important than Dr. McClay's
events.

Anyway, we all hope you can come to all of these events.

Sorry, Dr. McClay.

>Nosfertu the opera was inspired by the F. W. Murnau film , a silent
>retelling of the Dracula story. More recent films Nosferatu the Vampire and
>Shadow of the Vampire were also based on this film classic. I believe this

>relevance as ever for audiences in the United States.

>This event is co-sponsored by the Cadek Dept of Music and the Dorothy

>sharing Mr. Gioia with us. We hope you can find time to attend.

>>You are cordially invited to attend a lecture by the acclaimed American poet
>>Dana Gioia at the auditorium of the Hunter Museum of American Art on
>>November 29th at 7:30 PM. The event will be followed by a reception and book
>>signing.
>>
>>Dana Gioia has emerged in recent years not only as one of the most eminent
>>poets of his generation, but as a powerful spokesman for the recovery of
>>poetry as a "public" art. He came to this vocation by a most unusual path,
>>spending fifteen years as a top executive at Kraft General Foods, but then
>>retiring from the business world in 1992 to dedicate himself to his literary
>>career.
>>
>>His poems, essays, and translations have been published in numerous
>>magazines, including The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The New York Times Book
>>Review, The Nation, and The Hudson Review. His first book of poems, Daily
>>Horoscope, was discussed in publications as diverse as Newsweek and Forbes.
>>His second collection was chosen by London's Poetry Society Book Club as
>>their main selection, a rare honor for an American poet. His essay "Can
>>Poetry Matter?" later published as a book by thahas sparked debates across
>>the literary world, and was the subject of special programming on the BBC
>>and National Public Radio. In addition to his poetry and criticism, Gioia is
>>a translator and anthologist of Italian poetry, including the Mottetti of
>>Eugenio Montale. He has taught as a visiting writer at Colorado College,
>>Johns Hopkins, Sarah Lawrence, Mercer, and Wesleyan University. This year he
>>has published a libretto for the opera Nosferatu, and a third collection of
>>poetry, entitled Interrogations at Noon.
>>
>>The lecture is cosponsored by the UTC's SunTrust Chair of Excellence in
>>Humanities and by the Arts & Education Council of Chattanooga, and is funded
>>in part by a grant from Allied Arts of Greater Chattanooga. It is free and
>>open to the public. The Hunter Museum of American Art is located at 20 Bluff
>>View in Chattanooga. For more information, call 423-267-1218.
