Poet to Read Monday in Reeves Recital Hall
When poet Mark Jarman reads from his poetry Monday night, Hendrix professor Hope Coulter will be sitting in the front row.
Coulter teaches two poetry classes at Hendrix and has become a fan of Jarman's work.
"He writes about religion, but from a religious perspective that is not normally represented," Coulter said. "He writes a lot about looking for God and not necessarily finding him."
Coulter said she first read Jarman's work on an online poetry website - www.poems.com. Jarman writes in the New Formalist style, and Coulter said the structure of his poetry and his selection of themes compelled her to read his work.
In his eight works of published poems, Jarman has developed a style that adheres to the formal rules of poetry while addressing contemporary topics. Coulter mentioned a favorite poem of hers that discussed the author's love of surfing in perfect rhyme and meter.
Jarman also teaches at Vanderbilt University and has published numerous books discussing the role of poetry.
Jarman, who studied at the renowned Iowa Writer's Workshop, will perform Monday at 7 p.m. in Reeves Recital Hall.
Fmr. Clinton Chief of Staff to Give Commencement Address
Earlier this month, Hendrix College President J. Timothy Cloyd announced that Thomas F. (Mack) McLarty III would give the commencement address for the Class of 2006. The commencement ceremony will be Sat., May 13, 2006, at 9:00 a.m. on the lawns in front of Fausett and Ellis, unless inclement weather forces the ceremony to move inside Staples Auditorium.
McLarty is a prominent Arkansas business leader and a former White House Chief of Staff for President Clinton. He is currently the president of Kissinger McLarty Associates and president and chief executive officer of McLarty-Landers Automotive Group and has strong ties with Hendrix College, serving on the Board of Trustees from 1981-1987.
McLarty is a Hope, Ark., native and was first elected to the Arkansas state legislature when he was 23 years old. In his career, he has served as the Arkansas Democratic Party Chairman from 1974-1976 and has served as an adviser to three U.S. Presidents - Bill Clinton, George Bush, and Jimmy Carter. He has also played a key role in several major, global initiatives including helping to enact the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), organize the 1994 Summit of the Americas and structure the 1995 Mexican peso stabilization.
