τέκνον, τί κλαίεις;
This Friday I will be taking part in the memorial for Dr. Fiveash: An Evening of Truth and Beauty: A Tribute to Doc 5. I will be reading three of my poems: "Catullus V.101," "Aetiologies," and "Ψάπφοι Σελάννα." The first appeared previously in Lost and Lonely and the third in Apex Magazine #47. The central piece was written for Dr. Fiveash's memory in October and has never even been sent out for publication. I am reading it by request. Looking at the names in the Patch announcement, it shouldn't even be the strangest or most classical thing on the program.
The event is a fundraiser as well as a memorial, with all proceeds going toward a scholarship and a teaching award in Dr. Fiveash's name, so here is where I encourage anyone who ever had a teacher they loved or a language that fired their heart to check out the further details on Facebook and chip in. Boston-area people, it's is free and open to the public. Cary Hall in Lexington, two blocks from the Rancatore's on Mass. Ave. Come spend Friday night with the shades and the living, the remembering and the beloved. It'll be like Book 11 of the Odyssey, only less bloody. And afterward we all find home.

Damn! I had no idea. I take it there's no way of spending Thursday with people in the city?
