SUMMARY:E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack. This month’s novel is E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India. A Passage to India hauntingly evokes India at the peak of the British colonial era\, complete with the racial tension that underscores every aspect of daily life. Into this setting\, Forster introduces Adela Quested and Mrs. Moor\, British visitors to Chandrapore who\, despite their strong ties to the elusive colonial community there\, are eager for a more authentic taste of India. But when their fates tangle with those of Cecil Fielding and his local friend\, Dr. Aziz\, at the nearby Marabar Caves\, the community of Chandrapore is split wide open and everyone’s life—British and Indian alike—is inexorably altered. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

SUMMARY:Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack. This month’s novel is Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God. One of the most important and enduring books of the twentieth century\, Their Eyes Were Watching God brings to life a Southern love story with the wit and pathos found only in the writing of Zora Neale Hurston. Out of print for almost thirty years—due largely to initial audiences’ rejection of its strong black female protagonist—Hurston’s classic has since its 1978 reissue become perhaps the most widely read and highly acclaimed novel in the canon of African-American literature. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

SUMMARY:Edith Wharton's The Custom of the Country
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Edith Wharton\, The Custom of the Country. \nFirst published in 1913\, Edith Wharton’s The Custom Of The Country is scathing novel of ambition featuring one of the most ruthless heroines in literature. Undine Spragg is as unscrupulous as she is magnetically beautiful. Her rise to the top of New York’s high society from the nouveau riche provides a provocative commentary on the upwardly mobile and the aspirations that eventually cause their ruin. One of Wharton’s most acclaimed works\, The Custom Of The Country is a stunning indictment of materialism and misplaced values that is as powerful today for its astute observations about greed and power as when it was written nearly a century ago. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

SUMMARY:A Conversation with Robert Pinsky
DESCRIPTION:Join former three-term US Poet Laureate and Long Branch\, NJ native Robert Pinsky for an evening of conversation in celebration of the release of his memoir Jersey Breaks.  The evening will be moderated by the Dean of The Wayne D. McMurray School of Humanities and Social Sciences\, David Hamilton Golland\, Ph.D. \n“Truly the voice of the Jersey Shore.” – Bruce Springsteen \nThe acclaimed poet takes an affectionate look back. The U.S. poet laureate from 1997 to 2000 and “an expert at nothing except the sounds of sentences in the English language\,” Pinsky (b. 1940) moves back and forth in time\, narrating his life in crisp\, self-deprecating prose. “If I have a story to tell\,” he writes\, “it’s how the failures and aspirations of a certain time and place led to poetry.” That place was Long Branch\, New Jersey\, where the author grew up in an Orthodox\, lower-middle-class family in a neighborhood that was both poor and segregated. In the “sounds of Hebrew\,” Pinsky heard Milton\, Blake\, and Whitman. He recalls reading stories and poems in the glossy magazines in his optician father’s waiting room as well as the “exact moment when I became a writer\,” thanks to Through the Looking Glass. As an “ambitious\, pseudointellectual freshman” at Rutgers University\, he encountered and enjoyed Ulysses and the poetry of William Carlos Williams\, T.S. Eliot\, and Allen Ginsberg. Pinsky confesses that his way of writing a poem stems from getting a “tune in my head…like noodling at the piano\,” and his approach fostered his popular Favorite Poem Project\, which combined the “appeal of gossip with the appeal of art.” \nThough the author loved playing music\, poetry came first in college\, and he explains how his “habit of thinking about names was essential to my work as a poet.” He lavishes praise on two cantankerous college teachers—Paul Fussell and “relentless dictator” Yvor Winters—as well as his friend and mentor Thom Gunn. When teaching at Wellesley in 1970\, Pinsky attended Robert Lowell’s “erratic writing workshop\,” and Lowell gave him a blurb for his first collection\, Sadness and Happiness. Throughout\, the author sharply dissects a variety of poems\, including his own\, and he excitedly explains the welcome challenge of translating Dante’s Inferno. \nFans of literature will relish Pinsky’s jocular recollections and infectious love of poetry.
