6:30-8:30 PM Presentation & Discussion: Tyger by the Tail: Experiencing
William Blake’s Visionary Poetry at the Bozeman Public Library Community Room
(tea and cookies reception at 6:30, program at 7)
At noon come hear Dr. Marvin Lansverk, MSU Professor
of English, read selections from William Blake in the
Atrium/Brewed Awakening area of Renne Library. In the
evening, at Bozeman Public Library, experience the
multimedia Blake, who was both a poet and painter, a
founder of British Romanticism, and a visionary whose
works continue to appear as pop songs, hymns, and slogans
for advertising campaigns today. Attend both programs on
this fascinating and influential painter/poet to find out why
his poem “The Tyger” is one of the most popular in
English—ever, and why his ideas continue to impact the
way we see today. Sponsored by the Bozeman Public
Library, the MSU Libraries, and the MSU Department of
English.

History of the Limerick
Limericks are often short, silly and nonsensical poems. Although they are often
associated with the Irish, they were made popular by Edward Lear of England,
author of Book of Nonsense.
There was an Old Man of Kilkenny,
Who never had more than a penny;
He spent all that money,
In onions and honey,
That wayward Man of Kilkenny.
