Of special interest: Mary Virginia Orna, Lohman Village 309, is now a published author in The New Yorker magazine. Check out page 5 of the May 27 issue for her "Letter to the Editor." If you don't have access to the magazine, her Letter to the Editor is a comment on Alex Ross's article, "What is Noise" which ran on for some number of pages in the April 22nd and 29th issues of The New Yorker. Mary Virginia said: "The writer spent a lot of ink on people's opinions on just what constituted noise, and never resolved the difficulty of how it differed from music - a matter of opinion to many. The aim of my letter was to say that defining noise could be reduced to two sentences." Here is her letter: "Ross's meticulous piece reminded me of my old physics professor's succinct yet unforgettable summary of the difference between music and noise: 'Music,' he said, 'is the sound of your children's feet running up and down the stairs. Noise is the sound of your neighbor's children's feet running up and down the stairs.'
Announcing "True Stories: Exploring Memoir."
(A new Sarah Lawrence College Program for Wartburg Residents)
Emily Bloom from Sarah Lawrence College is pleased to invite you to a new summer reading group on the topic of "True Stories: Exploring Memoir." Classes will begin on June 24th and meet on Mondays and Wednesdays at 2:00pm in Steinkamp.
This summer, in addition to the usual reading group, Emily is also
going to offer an additional hour-long writing workshop for anyone interested in
trying their hand at writing personal narrative. This latter hour is optional
and you're welcome to join just the reading group or both sections. There
will be a short break in between for anyone who wants to leave after the reading
discussion. For the workshop, Emily will offer prompts and then make time
for writing together and discussing (no need to share unless you want
to). If you have questions, you can reach Emily at
ebloom@wartburg.org .
We are looking forward to seeing you this summer and
discussing your
memoirs!
By the way, Emily recently authored her own amazing memoir entitled "I Cannot Control Everything Forever: A Memoir of Motherhood, Science, and Art." Her book is on USA Today's Bestseller List. Emily's memoir is an incredible journey worth reading. Every parent (man and woman) should read her memoir. She seamlessly integrates motherhood with art, science and history.
