SUMMARY:American Analects: Book Launch and Poetry Reading
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the release of American Analects\, poems by Gary Young and Feasting on the World\, an exhibition at MK Contemporary Art Gallery\, paintings by Gene Holton paired with poems by Gary Young. Gary Young will be reading from his new book inspired by his friend and mentor Gene Holton. \nPresented by MK Contemporary Art Gallery and co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute\, UC Santa Cruz: Special Collection Archives\, UC Santa Cruz: The Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History; Bookshop Santa Cruz; The Hive Poetry Collective; and Santa Cruz Public Libraries. \nMore info at: www.mkcontemporary.art. \nAmerican Analects uses the Analects of Confucius as an inspiration to mediate upon the life\, death\, and the subsequent loss of the poet’s influential\, beloved mentor—the painter Gene Holtan. These poems are juxtaposed with poems about other losses—of parents\, of friends and friends of friends. Still\, this is not a dour book. Many poems celebrate our ability to inspire\, to comfort\, and to nurture one another. In the end\, American Analects is about resiliency\, about moving on from personal loss\, from the pandemic\, and from catastrophic fires\, to rejoice in what remains. \nGary Young is the author of several collections of poetry. His most recent books are That’s What I Thought\, winner of the Lexi Rudnitsky Editor’s Choice Award from Persea Books\, and Precious Mirror\, translations from the Japanese. His other books include Even So: New and Selected Poems; Pleasure; No Other Life\, winner of the William Carlos Williams Award; Braver Deeds\, winner of the Peregrine Smith Poetry Prize; Days; The Dream of a Moral Life\, which won the James D. Phelan Award; and Hands. He has received a Pushcart Prize\, and grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the California Arts Council\, and the Vogelstein Foundation\, among others. In 2009 he received the Shelley Memorial Award from the Poetry Society of America. Young was the first Poet Laureate of Santa Cruz County\, and in 2012 he was named Santa Cruz County Artist of the Year. Since 1975 he has designed\, illustrated\, and printed limited edition letterpress books and broadsides at his Greenhouse Review Press. His fine print work is represented in numerous collections including the Museum of Modern Art\, the Victoria and Albert Museum\, The Getty Museum\, and special collection libraries throughout the U.S. and Europe. He teaches creative writing and directs the Cowell Press at UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Slugs and Steins with Professor Renee Fox and Professor Elaine Sullivan - The Curse of the Mummy
DESCRIPTION:This talk focuses on a new UCSC Humanities course called “The Curse of the Mummy\,” co-taught by Associate Professor of Literature Renée Fox and Associate Professor Elaine Sullivan. Combining analysis of 19th-century Egyptology’s transformation of ancient Egypt into a European fantasy with study of ancient Egyptian culture itself\, the course relies on the collaborative expertise of an Egyptologist and a Victorian studies scholar to discover how and why the ancient past can become integral to contemporary identity\, society\, and aesthetics. \nThe talk will focus on the genesis of the course\, some of the bizarre mummy literature it covers\, the ways it relates to Professor Fox’s and Professor Sullivan’s current (and very different) research\, and why mummies are a perfect subject to think about the intersections and divergences between different Humanities disciplines. \n \nRenee Fox is Associate Professor of Literature\, the Jordan-Stern Presidential Chair for Dickens and Nineteenth-Century Studies\, Co-Director of the Dickens Project\, and Co-Director of the Center for Monster Studies at UC Santa Cruz. She is the author of The Necromantics: Reanimation\, the Historical Imagination\, and Victorian British and Irish Literature (The Ohio State University Press\, 2023)\, co-editor of the Routledge International Handbook of Irish Studies (Routledge\, 2021)\, and co-editor of the forthcoming Race\, Violence\, and Form: Reframing Nineteenth-Century Ireland (Liverpool University Press\, 2025). Her other publications include essays and articles on topics ranging from Victorian acrobats to Dracula’s gothic realism to epitaphic form in Irish poetry\, and she’s currently at work on a new book entitled Violent Reading: 19th-Century Ireland and the Politics of Genre. \nElaine Sullivan (M.A. and Ph.D. in Egyptian Art and Archaeology at Johns Hopkins University) is an Associate Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. Sullivan is an Egyptologist and a Digital Humanist whose work focuses on applying new technologies to ancient cultural materials. Her born-digital publication\, Constructing the Sacred (Stanford University Press\, 2020\, awarded prizes by the American Historical Association and the Archaeological Institute of America)\, utilizes a geo-temporal 3D model of the necropolis of Saqqara (near modern Cairo) to investigate questions of ritual landscape at the site. She was the project coordinator of the Digital Karnak Project\, a multi-phased 3D virtual reality model of the famous ancient Egyptian temple complex of Karnak. \nSlugs and Steins are free informal lectures served up over Zoom. Brought to you by the UC Santa Cruz Alumni Association\, each talk will engage one of our favorite professors in discussion with you\, the local community of Silicon Valley\, and beyond. We will cover everything from organic artichokes to endangered zebras\, self-driving cars to Shakespeare. All are welcome. Audience participation is encouraged. \nWatch past Slugs and Steins events here. \nQuestions? Contact the UC Santa Cruz University Events office at specialevents@ucsc.edu.
