The Beautiful Necessity: The Regulating Lines of Claude Bragdon’s Transcendental ArchitectureWednesday, Aug. 4, 7 p.m. “In nature, in number, in geometry, in music, also, there is but one law, a law infinitely simple, infinitely subtle, incommunicable, evanescent. It is what Emerson calls the Beautiful Necessity. Gentlemen, let us build altars to that Beautiful Necessity.” First Fridays / Wide Open MicHosted by Norm Davis Along with other local galleries and performance spaces, W&B will be open on the first Friday evenings of each month hosting Wide Open Mic, and a series of other readings and performances in our Verb Café and Performance Space. Known for its eclectic mix, Wide Open Mic welcomes poets, performers, and writers of all kinds. It is Rochester’s longer-running open mic, hosted by Norm Davis, poet and editor of HazMat Review.

The Bertrand Russell SocietyHosted by David White The Bertrand Russell Society was formed shortly after Russell’s death in 1970. Russell was born in 1872 and worked in fields such as mathematical logic; philosophy; social, religious, and educational reform; anti-war protests and politics. An accomplished writer, Russell received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950. This ongoing lecture series promises to enlighten and entertain. Monthly meetings are open to everyone, not just to members of the society.

Think of a poetry writing workshop as a gift -- for yourself or a friend... Maybe even sign up with a friend! “I’ve always wanted to write poetry.” “I used to write poetry, but....” “I have things I want to say!” Sharpen or charge your writing tool of choice and take a shot a something you’ve wanted to do for a long time. In a workshop setting with lots of interaction and encouragement, you just might discover the best gift yet: your own creative voice.
Is a course for beginners or for those who are feeling stuck and just want to have some fun. Generative in nature, the course will explore some of the elements of poetry, experiment with form and provide prompts to free ideas. Ways of responding to our own writing and the writing of others will be introduced and practiced.
