The Department of English and Philosophy had a holiday party on Thursday, December 9th, 2004. Please click here for pictures from this event.

Lynn Levin's new poetry collection, Imaginarium, is now available in the Drexel University bookstore.

This book is great for holiday giving especially if your loved ones' tastes run to what poet, critic, and anthologist Roger Weingarten describes as, "a passionate inquiry into and battle with the complications of the human comedy. This is a colorist's riot of animated language laced with a half a cup of science, anecdote, art, history and sex."

The book is $12.95...autographs are FREE!

Lynn Levin is adjunct assistant professor of English at Drexel and executive producer of DUTV's The Drexel InterView.

Ha Jin, the winner of the National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner award for his novel Waiting, was on the Drexel campus on October 20-21 2004. He gave a lecture on October 20 at 1:30 in the Main Auditorium and conducted a master class for Drexel students chosen on the basis of their own writing. Professor Jin, who teaches at Boston University, was invited to Drexel by the Freshman English Program Advisory Group which selected The Bridegroom, a collection of his short stories, as the book to be read by all incoming freshmen across the University in the summer before they arrive at Drexel. The aim of this Drexel Freshman Reading Assignment is to allow freshmen to share a common experience as a foretaste of the intellectual inquiry and discourse they will find at Drexel University. The reading assignment will showcase the varied nature of academic discourse throughout the University.
