An in-person memorial continues to be impractical under current conditions. Accordingly, please join us for a celebration online of Bill’s life on Saturday, December 5th, at 4 pm. We are assembling a short program with a small number of formal speakers. Following those remarks, we will open the event to toasts, reminiscences, and thoughts of Bill from all assembled. The Zoom Meeting ID is 93276804903 (https://utah.zoom.us/j/93276804903) Again the time is 4 pm, Saturday, December 5. Please forward this information to any and all who knew Bill and would have an interest. For correspondence about the event, please use billcolesmemorial(a)gmail.com. Please see https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/saltlaketribune/obituary.aspx?n=william-j… for Bill’s obituary. If you have 14 spare minutes, the following is a link to Bill reading “Country Music,” one of the short stories he wrote in retirement (https://youtu.be/IrzUwus1XS4) Sincerely, The Coles Family Billcolesmemorial(a)gmail.com

Go Learn At-Home Speaker Series: The Stranger I Become: essays in reckless poetics

University of Utah College of HumanitiesYrfertsftmeSiprfmdmgdayf aeeaont 1cg1:55 eisSsnoreAdeM · Thursday | November 19 | 12 pm MTGo Learn At-Home Speaker Series: The Stranger I Become: essays in reckless poeticsKatharine Coles will read and answer questions on essays from her forthcoming collection, The Stranger I Become: essays in reckless poetics. The goal of the essays is to represent poetic process (in reading, in writing, in thinking) as active within the context of an ordinary life lived in and through poetry, which becomes a kind of perceptual lens through which she experiences the world, as well as the vehicle through which she processes her experiences. Populated not only with poems but also with friends, relatives, and various creatures wild and domestic, the essays move through Coles’ house and yard, her neighborhood, and through other cities domestic and foreign, which, alongside the poems that inhabit her, make up the fabric of her experience. Katharine Coles has published seven collections of poems, most recently Wayward (Red Hen Press, 2019). Her memoir, Look Both Ways, was released in 2018 by Turtle Point Press, which will also publish The Stranger I Become: essays in reckless poetics in 2021 and Solve for X, a new collection of poems. She has received awards from the NEA, the NEH, and the Guggenheim Foundation. She is a Distinguished Professor in the Department of English at the University of Utah.Register here: https://bit.ly/2HZHsQa#UofU #UniversityofUtah | | | | Log into Facebook | Facebook Log into Facebook to start sharing and connecting with your friends, family, and people you know. | | | Joel Long
