Fall2010 Spring2011 2010 2011 FALL2010 Jack B. Bedell October 18-October 29, 2010 Louisiana-born and educated, Jack B. Bedell writes poetry which “dazzles with a quiet brilliance all its own, a luster born of simple things, with stirring poems of desire, familial love and fatherhood, and with real-life places and encounters, at once exotic and familiar,” writes Diane Thiel. Bedell is the author of five collections of poems: Call and Response; Come Rain, Come Shine; What Passes for Love; At the Bonehouse; and Greatest Hits. Heather Ross Miller praises Bedell’s re-creation of a place “full of Louisiana Cajun zest, quick to anger and quick to forgive” and his “remarkably examining lyrics that grab hold and won’t let go.” Currently, Dr. Bedell is the Woman’s Hospital Distinguished Professor in the Humanities at Southeastern Louisiana University where he also serves as editor of Louisiana Literature and director of Louisiana Literature Press. For scheduling information for Jack B. Bedell, please contact James Gentile.

    Albertus Magnus College N EW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT 2019–2021 COURSE CATALOGUE Traditional Undergraduate Program A Catholic College in the Dominican Tradition ALBERTUS MAGNUS COLLEGE Undergraduate Program Course Catalogue 2019–2021 t. Albert the Great, the patron of Albertus Magnus College, was born about 1200 into the family of the counts of Bollstadt at Lauingen in Swabia. After Sa few months of study at Bologna and Padua, he entered the recently founded Dominican order in 1223. For the next three decades he studied and taught in Paris and Cologne, where the young Thomas Aquinas was among his students. In 1254, Albert was elected prior provincial of Germany and soon after was appointed papal theologian and named Bishop of Ratisbon. Yearning for the academic life, he resigned his episcopal appointment in 1262 and returned to Cologne for a life of prayer and study. Albert died in Cologne in 1280. According to a contemporary, Albertus was a man “so superior in every science that he can fittingly be called the wonder and miracle of our time.” His encyclopedic writings include works on physics, geography, astronomy, chemistry, biology, philosophy, and the- ology. He was a major figure in the introduction of the work of Aristotle to the Latin West and was instrumental in the acceptance of human learning as an essential handmaid to theology. In 1933, Albert was proclaimed a saint and doctor of the Church. The contents of this catalogue were as accurate as possible at the time of printing.
