February 28th we’ll be watching Alain Resnais’s 1960 French/German film: Last Year at Marienbad (94m)! “In this unconventional French drama, a group of unnamed aristocrats interact at a palatial château, resulting in an enigmatic tale told partially in flashback. X (Giorgio Albertazzi) is convinced that he has met the beautiful A (Delphine Seyrig) before in the Czech resort town of Marienbad, and implies they had a romantic relationship. M (Sacha Pitoeff), who may be A’s husband or boyfriend, confronts her mysterious suitor, leading to conflict and questions about the truth behind his story.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3Tvl1Fuxt8

Flooded Poetry
Every Monday Ivy Rozen, Senior Editor of The Black Mountain Press, will host a poetry-specific open mic from 6:30pm-9pm. Each poet will be able to share 2-3 poems, and and then we’ll close out the evening with a special reading from Mary Arnold: a writer of haiku, haibun and senryu. She is particularly drawn to the openness of these forms of poetry, the breathing room they offer to the reader. In addition to being a poet, Mary works as an administrator for a Head Start program in Asheville. She is a novice, but enthusiastic player of the ukulele and enjoys living in beautiful western North Carolina with Beckett, her husband, and Trixie, their canine companion. One of her poems is currently under consideration for a 2024 Touchstone Award.
