13--Cambridge Mayor Alfred E. Vellucci, a fixture of Cambridge politics and one of the architects of rent control, announces that he will not seek re-election to the city council next fall. His departure, along with those of Sullivan and Graham, throw the city's liberal forces into turmoil...
But such was the scene at Sanders Theater last night, as more than 1000 people gathered to hear Murray. Reeve, and other well-known performers read In the Company of Poets, a new poetry anthology by Lowell Professor of the Humanities William Alfred.
The evening, planned in recognition of Alfred, celebrated the completion of the first full season of the newly revived Poets' Theatre. The original Poets' Theatre, founded in 1950, organized readings and performances of many famous poets and dramatists, including John Ashbery, Samuel Beckett, Frank O'Hara and Dylan Thomas.
Alfred wrote several plays produced by the original Theatre, among them Hogan's Goat, which later ran on Broadway starring Faye Dunaway in her first major role.
For his anthology, Alfred selected poems on a variety of themes, including love, death and spiritual life. The selections were drawn from poets from Milton's time to the present.
