OTHER EVENTS

Tabula Poetica: The Center for Poetry at Chapman University is dedicated to creating an environment to celebrate poetry in a variety of forms and venues. Here, we foster a culture of poetry appreciationby engaging and supporting the veteran writer, the novice poet, the student, and the general reader in an effort to share poems and conversation about this art form.

Dr. Kate Gale is author of five books of poetry and six librettos including Rio de Sangre, a libretto for an opera with composer Don Davis that had its world premiere 2010 at the Florentine Opera in Milwaukee. Her current projects include a creative nonfiction book Flight of the Ugly Duckling; a co-written libretto, Paradises Lost, with Ursula K. LeGuin and composer Stephen Taylor; and a libretto based on The Inner Circle by T. C. Boyle, based on Dr. Kinsey’s life with composer Daniel Felsenfeld. Gale is Managing Editor of Red Hen Press, Editor of the Los Angeles Review and President of the American Composers Forum, LA. She teaches in the Low Residency MFA program at the University of Nebraska and serves on the boards of A Room of Her Own Foundation and Poetry Society of America.
