    College of Arts & Sciences Alumni Association Vol. 21 • Summer 2005 News from the chair Departmental excellence endures, despite losses ast year I began this column with a passage from Samuel Beckett’s Lnovel The Unnamable: “I can’t go on, I’ll go on.” This sentiment, as you will recall, was motivated by the human losses we sustained with the passings of Albert Wertheim and Tim Wiles. And, as you will read in this issue, our friend and colleague Jim Jensen succumbed to a fatal infection as last year’s News in English was in press. The endurance of which Beckett speaks is, thus, still requisite; we often measure our time, it seems, much as Clov and Hamm do in Endgame — by loss. But, unlike them, we don’t lose our ide- als, and we celebrate our many victories as well.

  • Book Discussion Announcement.Indd
    Kentucky Humanities announced Kentucky Reads, a statewide literacy initiative centering on the novel Birds of Opulence by Kentucky author Crystal Wilkinson. As part of this initiative, Kentucky Humanities is making available 25 book discussion programs to be held throughout Kentucky using Birds of Opulence. We have assembled an impressive group of scholars who will lead thoughtful and insightful discussions about the themes in the book. The booking fee for any non-profit organization is $50 and each organization that books a Birds of Opulence book discussion will be provided with 15 copies of the novel to share among participating members, publicity materials to promote your discussion, and expenses paid to the discussion leader (including an honorarium and travel expenses.) Any non-profit organization in Kentucky can host this program, including libraries, historical societies, churches, prisons, veterans’ groups, museums, book clubs, etc. These programs will be awarded on a first-come first-served basis and must take place between February 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021. How It Works 1. Decide your organization would like to host a book discussion of Birds of Opulence. 2. Select who will serve as your scholar to lead a discussion about the book and relevant topics. 3. Contact the scholar and set a date, time, and location for your group discussion and discuss any special arrangements. Determine if this event will be in-person or virtual and discuss this with the scholar. 4. Book the program using the online booking form at least six weeks in advance and pay the $50 booking fee. 5. Kentucky Humanities will send you an agreement to sign and return.

  • A Portfolio of Photographs and Poems by James Baker Hall
    24 James Baker Hall A Portfolio of Photographs and Poems by James Baker Hall The James Baker Hall Archive of Photographs and Films represents over fifty years of Jim’s image-making.* It is clear, through careful notation of the many sleeves of negatives we have, that Jim was very rarely without his camera. His fascinations were people he knew; the nature that surrounded his house in Sadieville, Kentucky; Paris, France; and the history of his family. These subjects run through many of his bodies of work, and his method of working evolved many times over his decades as a photographer, which allowed him to revisit photographs from earlier periods and utilize new techniques to articulate his deepening vision. Jim’s earliest photographs are portraits of people he knew and respected. Because they were all writing students at the University of Kentucky together in the late-50s, he took many photographs of Wendell Berry, Bobbie Ann Mason, Ed McClanahan, and Gurney Norman. Beginning in the mid-60s, and continuing for the rest of his life, he photographed a number of writers—Larry McMurtry, Bob Holman, William Merwin, Louise Glück, Ai, Gerald Stern, and Maurice Manning, among many others. These photographs show a deep connection to the person, and great commitment to the medium. Relying on natural light and the available surroundings for background, they generally bend toward documentation with casual staging of person and place, and at times reveal the influence of his friendships with photographers Minor White, Ralph Eugene Meatyard, Bob May, and others. He worked primarily in black & white portraiture until the mid-80s.

They chose from images that varied from photographs to book plates and illuminated manuscripts, and were free to respond in any manner, literal or abstract. The Clara Peck Collection is a treasure trove of more than 500 exceedingly rare books, paintings, and art objects that demonstrate Peck’s interest in all things flora and fauna, and especially her love of horses.
