On Saturday, April 13, join us for a screening of the new film Ferlinghetti A Rebirth of Wonder.
The evening will also include beat poetry performances and a silent
auction to raise funds for the Festival of Words. It all takes place at Cité des Arts on Vine St. in Lafayette, LA.
The evening launches with beat poetry performances by local poet Jerry McGuire and other area poets.
At 8:00 p.m. begins the first run film Ferlinghetti: A Rebirth of Wonder.
In this definitive documentary, director Christopher Felver crafts an
incisive, sharply wrought portrait that reveals Ferlinghetti's true role
as catalyst for numerous literary careers and for the Beat movement
itself. As poet, playwright, publisher, and activist, Lawrence
Ferlinghetti helped to spark the San Francisco literary renaissance of
the 1950s and the subsequent “Beat” movement.

The
event will also include a silent auction that includes fine, handmade
quilts by Le Coudre Points of Arnaudville and by Gwen Miller; art glass
by Karen Bourque, paintings by William Turley; glass chimes by Jerilyn
Lavergne and recycle art by Trish Ransom. Food will be available as
well as drinks through Cité des Arts’ Station Cafe. Funds will go
towards the annual Festival of Words, November 7--9, 2013 featuring Darrell Bourque, Genaro Kỳ Lý Smith and Naomi Shihab Nye.
