Conundrum in RhIno
Conundrum Press presents “An Evening Celebrating Poetry, Music, Coffee, and Tacos” on Friday, June 14, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Converge Denver (3327 Brighton Blvd.).
“Join us,” they say, for a celebration of the art of poetry, music, coffee, and tacos while benefiting the Young Writers Program at Lighthouse Writers Workshop. You decide how much you want your ticket to be and 100% of it will be donated to the Young Writers Program.
“Denver's Poet Laureate of yore, Chris Ransick, and award-winning authors Eleanor Swanson and Robert King will read from their (and each other's) new books and let us in on their conversation about life, the universe, and everything.
“As if hanging out with three of the best writers in the American west isn't enough to ditch any prior plans, here are a few more reasons:
“How about a rare opportunity to taste the boutique Gesha coffee from Ninety-Plus Coffee, grown on their small plantations in Panama and Ethiopia?
“Mix in some craft beer from one of Denver's best breweries, street food from the deep well of specialty food trucks, art from local artists, and live music--all on the Converge Denver's patio overlooking the South Platte River and Front Range--and you've got an evening of cultural bliss.”

In Memoriam: Jake Adam York (1972-2012)
Solemn and shocking news. Jake Adam York—poet, professor, editor, and critic—passed away suddenly on December 16. While the exact cause is unknown, it’s likely that Jake suffered a stroke or aneurysm. He arrived at the University of Colorado Denver in 2000, founding He the university’s Creative Writing Program, as well as the university’s national literary journal Copper Nickel.
Brian Barker and Nicky Beer have written that “Jake was the author of three books of poetry—Murder Ballads (2005), A Murmuration of Starlings (2008), and Persons Unknown (2010)—and a book of criticism, The Architecture of Address (2005). Over the years his poems appeared in some of the nation’s most prestigious literary journals, including The Southern Review, The Kenyon Review, Pleiades, New England Review, and Blackbird. Jake’s poetry engaged in an ongoing and ambitious project of elegizing the martyrs of the Civil Rights movement. In doing so, his work became a vanguard for 21st century poets interested in combining research and creativity, in balancing documentation and the imagination. He accepted the burden of history in his work and wrote with unflinching passion, courage, and moral complexity about life in the South. He was widely regarded as one of the best poets of his generation.”
The English Department, in the CU Denver College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will host a memorial at St. Cajetan’s on campus on Wednesday, January 30th, 3-5 PM. All who knew Jake are invited to attend.
