A Closer Look Book Club. Cybele Knowles will lead the discussion of this well-loved classic
on July 18th. Can't find a copy? The

The Lastest Art Exhibition at the Poetry Center
The Poetry Center's latest art exhibition features the paintings of Kim Young.
These works distill and isolate punctuation into its most rudimentary form - the silhouette of color and shape call into question the meaning of our endings and our exclamations.
These paintings will be on exhibition until September 25.
The Work of Ai on Exhibit in the Library
Ai is an award-winning poet who received her MFA from the University of California, grew up in Tucson where she received her B.A. in Japanese at the UofA,
and presently teaches at Oklahoma State University. Her work is passionate and colorful, and includes a score of invented personae of compelling interest.
An exhibit that inludes published works and photographs will be on display until August 15. Ai participated in a
Q&A for the June e-newsletter.
