Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
2025-08-12 19:30 - 21:00 | Virtual
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! This week’s book is Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy.
From the bestselling author of The Passenger and the Pulitzer Prize–winning novel The Road: an epic novel of the violence and depravity that attended America’s westward expansion, brilliantly subverting the conventions of the Western novel and the mythology of the Wild West. One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years.
Based on historical events that took place on the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s, Blood Meridian traces the fortunes of the Kid, a fourteen-year-old Tennesseean who stumbles into the nightmarish world where Indians are being murdered and the market for their scalps is thriving.

Into the Wild, Art Exhibit by Eileen Kennedy
2025-09-01 09:00 - 2025-10-25 17:00 | Pollak Gallery
Artist Reception: Friday, Sept. 26, 6-8pm
Gallery Exhibit: September 1 – October 25, 2025
Eileen Kennedy’s narrative art explores the relationship between contemporary humans and the natural world. The artist holds a BFA from Pratt Institute. She also studied at the Arts Students League of New York, the Hartford Art School, and numerous workshops.
Kennedy emerged from Pratt in 1977 as an abstract painter; however, within a few years the narrative urge brought her back to figurative work. She enrolled in night classes at the Art Students League to refresh her drawing skills and for the next two decades made life-scale, figurative oil paintings and drawings influenced by the Flemish school, especially Jan van Eyck and Rogier Van der Weyden.
In 2009, she took some time out to explore egg tempera, a medium that had enchanted her since she discovered the work of George Tooker while still in art school. She completed several workshops with contemporary egg tempera master, Koo Schadler. Kennedy found this medium perfectly suited her linear style and love for detail. She soon gave away her oil paints and brushes.
Kennedy has exhibited throughout the mid-Atlantic region and beyond including the Brooklyn Museum, Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art, Monmouth Museum, Widener University Art Museum, Attleboro Arts Museum, Painted Bride Art Center, AIR Gallery, Blue Mountain Gallery, Monmouth University, Williams Center for the Arts, Manifest Center for the Arts, Dacia Gallery, Lore Degenstein Gallery and others. Her works have been featured in the New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, Newark Star Ledger, American Art Collector Magazine, Fine Art Connoisseur Newsletter, Create Magazine and other publications.
In 1995 and 2022 Kennedy was awarded artist fellowships from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. In 2022 her work was included in the Lunar Codex Project, which sent images of art from all over the world to the moon in 2024. Her work is included in the collections of the Yuko Nii Foundation, Riverview Medical Center, Pratt Institute and numerous private
collections. The artist lives and works in Toms River, New Jersey. When not making
art, she plays mandolin in the Celtic trio, The Kilkenny Cats.
