From the ancient Greeks to Thomas Gray to Larry Levis, the Elegy is a poetic form that mourns the dead. In modern times, elegies have been written in response to major world events, such as the Holocaust and to express general feelings of loss and metaphysical grief. But in this new era of genre busting, elegies appear in art forms other than poetry. The panelists—a poet, fiction writer, visual artist and composer— will each discuss their use of the elegiac in their individual practice.
Panel Participants:
Julia Kolchinsky Dasbach, Poety, University of Pennsylvania
Cheryl Sucher, Fiction Writer, author of The Rescue of Memory (Scribners)
Cheryl Levin, Artist
Bruce Kaminsky, Musician, Drexel University
Moderator:
Harriet Millan, Drexel University, Certificate Program in Writing and Publishing

Dreamscapes are forms, colors and images that an artist might see in real or imagined space. A dreamscape could be inspired by encounters with cosmic phenomena like the sky or a view of organic life glimpsed through a microscope. It could express a psychological state of mind or emotions evoked by music. It could be a painting, drawing, collage, video, photograph, or sculpture. It is whimsical. The theme 'Dreamscapes' inspired hundreds of Westport's artists to respond with works ranging from pure abstract to landscape paintings, and from surrealist assemblages of dream-like imagery to realist renderings of contemporary dysfunction. - Alexandra Munroe
