On Wednesday, March 5, CAB is bringing ISIS, a spoken word poet to campus. Isis will be presenting herself and her poetry honestly, so all can see the beauty and scars that have made her a woman. Her poetry explores universal themes of empowerment, reclamation, love, abuse and the mistakes we all make. She will present our campus with a powerful message.

Hi, everyone,
The English department is featured prominently in events taking place this week across campus. Sharon Jessee will be presenting her paper, “The Heteroglossia of 
Green: American Ecology from Ralph Waldo Emerson to Toni Morrison,” as one of four UWL Scholars celebrating Chancellor Gow’s Inauguration. The scholars’ presentations will take place Thursday, October 18th, at the Cleary Center. A reception for the scholars’ presentations will begin at 3PM, followed by the presentations, beginning at 4PM.
That same afternoon (Th 10/18), Brian Turner will read from his Iraq war poetry collection, Here, Bullet, in the Port O’ Call Lounge at Cartwright Center, beginning at 5:30. Mr. Turner’s reading, and related class activities Wednesday and Thursday, have been organized by Matt Cashion.
Both events have been widely publicized, in the Campus Connection, in the Raquet, on our English Department web page blog, and in the La Crosse Tribune. I hope many of you will be able to find the time to support our colleagues’ activities, and to remind interested students to try to attend.
Finally, thanks to all of the faculty and students who made our 3rd semi-annual kickball social and cookout celebration a success. The faculty once again prevailed in kickball (with only a minimum amount of cheating). And a good time was had by all.
