In the spring of 2012, drawing upon Portland’s ethic of community engagement and creativity, a public call was sent out for brief written expressions of the times that would reflect upon the egalitarian, utilitarian and civic nature of this new infrastructure project. The call requested short lines of text (fifty characters or less) to be painted onto silt fencing during the temporary Art Starts Now phase and then stamped into sidewalk paving during the permanent Impressed Concrete phase. Eleven hundred submissions were received, and one hundred and two of them were selected as “orange lines” for use in the project through a blind-jury selection process.

  • 2014 English Letter
    the English Letter Spring 2014 The School of Writing, Literature, and Film Dear Friends of the School of Writing, Literature, and Film: Two defining moments in the history and identity of English at OSU took place less than a decade apart in the 1960s. Bernard Malamud’s immigrant narrative of transformation, in which “a bearded, fatigued, lonely” English professor from New York arrives in the lush landscape of “Cascadia” (aka Oregon) College, was published as A New Life (1961). And by the mid-sixties, OSU had graduated its first class of English majors. Marking the centenary of Malamud’s birth (1914-2014), as well as 50 years of excellence in writing and the literary arts, the School hosted a gathering of faculty, students, alumni, and community members in the Valley Library Special Collections on April 24 to kick off a multi- year celebration. Organized by the English Student Association and Assistant Professor Lily Sheehan, the event honored Malamud with readings from A New Life and talks by faculty members Neil Davison, J.T. Bushnell, Ehren Pflugfelder, and Ray Malewitz. This year has also been transformative for Moreland Hall. Designed by architect John Beddes in 1917, the exterior of Moreland Hall retains its 1917 façade and Beaux-Arts detail. The interior is being renovated to reflect a twenty-first century outlook on arts and humanities education, student activities and engagement. The remodel has opened up 1600 square feet of atrium space, which will be ready by fall 2014 for exhibitions of faculty and student work, readings, and performances. Renovation has included development of new seminar-style class- Inside: rooms on the 2nd floor; a state-of-the-art writing lab on Moreland’s first floor is also planned.

    ALUMNI BOOKS Two Guys and a Novel War of the Encyclopaedists a victorious collaboration for BU alum and friend | !" #$%&' #()*+%,' For a decade, Christopher Robinson and Gavin Kovite have been partners in crimes comedic and literary, ri! ng o" each other as they cooked up o" beat stories, sketches, and ultimately, the novel War of the Encylopaedists, published this spring by Scribner to wide- spread critical praise. New York Times critic Michiko Kakutani says the coauthors have created a “captivating coming-of-age novel that is, by turns, funny and sad and elegiac—a novel” o" ering “some telling por- traits of a couple of millen- nials trying to grope their way toward adulthood.” With an epigraph by Pliny the Elder, “the original encyclo- paedist,” the novel tracks the diverging paths of Seattle-bred Halifax Corderoy and Mickey Montauk. If, as Robinson (GRS’07) and Kovite insist, the characters are not exactly dop- pelgängers for themselves, they are at the very least fl eshed out In reviewing War of the Encylopaedists, critics have indulged in a kind of parlor game, trying to identify from the bones of the writers’ which author wrote what. The exercise is pointless, say Christopher Robinson (GRS’07) (left) and Gavin origins and histories. After the Kovite. While their real-life experiences inform their characters’ travails, they say, the writing was truly a collaborative effort. novel introduces us to a cast of young, lost, but acerbically clever souls, the freewheeling, surreal death and mayhem, the early 2000s blossoming together in New York City, joined-at-the-hip buds depart and senseless, surreal “post- of internet culture.

Roger Porter of the Reed College English Department will moderate the discussion. Tuesday, April 19th, at 7pm – Poet Jim Moore will be here to read from his new book, Invisible Strings, recently published by Graywolf Press.

Williams Thursday, April 21st, at 7pm – Continuing our monthly series, “Comma,” we are excited to have both John Daniel and Ehud Havazelet.
