November
29, 2001 The ninth Evening at Egan presentation takes place Friday (Nov. 30) at 7 p.m. on the UAS campus. Jim Hale, assistant professor of English, presents, "This Note's for You: English Poetry and the Quest for Authenticity." The title comes from Neil Young's song, "This Note's for You." Hale admits "authenticity" is a "slippery concept" and says his presentation will "slide around on it quite a bit." He will begin with Chaucer and 16th Century English poet John Skelton and then jump to 20th Century American poet Robert Lowell and Bob Dylan. Hale said, "I'll be talking about poetry's function as a social skill, and how it changes in response to the appropriation of it's formal characteristics to other, non-poetic ends." The is the final presentation of the second annual Evening at Egan free, fall lecture series at UAS.
