Laurie, lecturer in music, came in today to talk about his ideas and hopes for the poetry-into-music event in May.
I think it sounds great.
The dates are not finalised yet, but it will be some time during International Week (commencing 11 May). Hopefully the event will take place in the Music Box auditorium.
The details of the format need to worked out, but Laurie's idea was for you guys to give a reading of your poem, possibly followed by a discussion, and then followed by Laurie's students' musical interpretation of the poem.
Some people suggested leaving the discussion bit until the end. As I say, these details can be worked out as we go. The main thing was that everyone agreed to the idea of the event.
If you have any ideas or comments, please post them here ...

Can I suggest that we maybe have a little booklet for people with the poems in to act as a little souvenir of the night. This was discussed in class.
Or perhaps if the people in the music dept could record their music and put it on a CD for those that want a copy.
I'm not sure whether it would be possible, but it would be nice to remember and celebrate this event to mark all that we've achieved along with the musicians.
Thanks Hannah. Yes, I agree that it would be nice to have something to take away. What about video-recording it and putting it up on the internet?
