  • In Thomas Hardy's Poetic Workshop II

  • In response to the enthusiastic reception to earlier classes on Hardy's poetry, these sessions will handle more of the nearly 1,000 poems Hardy published. As before, there will be opportunity to consider and discuss both the many revisions that Hardy made to his texts over time and the structure and meaning of each poem. Lots of relevant contextual material (including connections to Hardy's fiction) are provided to assist interpretation of the poetry.

  • Vietnam: One Man's Experience

  • As a young, non-commissioned officer in 1970, then 19-year old US Army Sergeant Larry Saul served a combat tour in Vietnam. Fifty years later he returned to Vietnam. The purpose of the journey was to see the modern Vietnam, and, also, to rediscover himself. This lecture will look at the history, culture, and geography of Vietnam, from the late 19th century up to 1975. Larry will use his unit's mission and their experiences to present a snapshot of US involvement...then, fast forward to late 2018 and how Vietnam has progressed. He has made two subsequent trips, seeking something.
