– The next South Brunswick Arts Commission meeting will be Nov. 18 at 6:30 p.m. at the first-floor lounge of the Municipal Building.
The meetings are held the third Thursdays of the month; the public is welcome.
November events include:
– The Poetry Series in cooperation with the South Brunswick Library, featuring Burt Kimmelman, will be held Sunday, Nov. 14, from 2 to 4 p.m.
Dr. Kimmelman has published six collections of poetry – "As If Free" (Talisman House, Publishers, 2009), "There Are Words" (Dos Madres Press, 2007), "Somehow" (Marsh Hawk Press, 2005), "The Pond at Cape May Point" (Marsh Hawk Press, 2002), a collaboration with the painter Fred Caruso, "First Life" (Jensen/Daniels Publishing, 2000) and "Musaics" (Sputyen Duyvil Press, 1992).
A poem from his newest book was featured on NPR’s "The Writer’s Almanac."
For over a decade, he was senior editor of the now defunct "Poetry New York: A Journal of Poetry and Translation." He is a professor of English at New Jersey Institute of Technology and the author of two book-length literary studies: "The Winter Mind. William Bronk and American Letters" (Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 1998); and, "The Poetics of Authorship in the Later Middle Ages: The Emergence of the Modern Literary Persona" (Peter Lang Publishing, 1996; paperback 1999).
He also edited "The Facts on File Companion to 20th-Century American Poetry" (Facts on File, 2005) and co-edited "The Facts on File Companion to American Poetry" (Facts on File, 2007).
He has published scores of essays on medieval, modern and contemporary poetry. A recent interview with Tom Fink has appeared online in Jacket 40.
