Book of the Month Discussion: Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T.S. Eliot
2 - 4pm slt
Jack & Elaine Whitehorn memorial Library, Caledon VictoriaCity
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Caledon%20VictoriaCity/52/203/23
Eliot's cat poems (originally composed to amuse his friends) amply demonstrate his genius with metrical forms. They also show us the author in a playful mood, instead of the high seriousness that characterizes the works with which he revolutionized poetry in the early 20th c. He was a close observer of cats and their ways, and captures feline types to perfection.
All fans of Eliot's works, lovers of The Literature of The Feline , and literary schmoozers are welcome to join us, as are likewise all Bravo Cats, Gumbie Cats, and Rum Tum Tuggers whether they have read the work or not -- and everyone is invited to attend in their Furred, Tailed, and Whiskered Best
An exhibit treating of the work, and featuring some of the most notorious critters from Caledon, Winterfell, and New Toulouse as Eliot's Practical cats, will be on display at the Whitehorn Library, and the New Toulouse Library, for the entire month of April
Copies of the work may be had at the Whitehorn Library in Caledon VictoriaCity,
or found online at http://coral.lili.uni-bielefeld.de/Classes/Summer97/SemGS/WebLex/OldPossum/oldpossumlex/
NOTE: The teleport takes you to a hub in Caledon VictoriaCity... Just follow the red arrow/beacon north through the Reading Room to the Whitehorn building, or use the red and gold book-shaped Library Transport Device located at the telehub.
Please direct questions to JJ Drinkwater, Caledon Library.
