Tour | Tour of Gracie Mansion, Home of New York's Mayors


In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home would be serving as the official residence of the First Family of New York City - a place where history is made, not merely recorded. As a historic house museum run by the Parks Department, sitting on 11 acres of grounds now known as Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 11 mayors, beginning first with Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942. Start times: 12pm, 1:30pm

Lecture | "To Become a Soviet Fet": Unofficial Poetry and the Russian Nature Lyric Tradition


A key feature of post-WWII Soviet uncensored poetry is its complicated, often ironic relationship to the older lyrical traditions enshrined by official Soviet culture. One such tradition is Romantic nature poetry, with its emphasis on contemplation, rapture, and other forms of expressive subjectivity and authenticity. These forms, however, seem problematic in the Soviet 1960s and 1970s. This talk examines a body of work by poets associated with the Lianozovo group – Evgeny Kropivnitsky, Vsevolod Nekrasov and Yan Satunovsky – that repeatedly evokes Afanasii Fet, the foremost practitioner of 19th-century lyric expressivity and attunement to nature. What motivates this unexpected connection? Fet emerges as shorthand for nature poetry and Naturgefühl more generally, and as a symbol of its irrelevance and unsustainable escapism. The lecture sets Lianozovo’s dialogue with Fet against the backdrop of his reception by earlier poets and contrasts it with references to Alexander Pushkin’s nature lyric in the work of Leonid Aronzon, an unofficial poet of a very different formation, whose allusions, by contrast, seek to re-enchant the contemporary world. Speaker Luba Golburt is Associate Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures at UC Berkeley. She is the author of The First Epoch: The Eighteenth Century and the Russian Cultural Imagination(University of Wisconsin Press, 2014) and has published articles on Enlightenment and Romanticism, as well as on modern Russian poetry from the eighteenth century to the present. She is currently working on a book-length study of the Russian nature lyric tradition and is co-editing, with Catherine Ciepiela and Stephanie Sandler, the Oxford Handbook of Russian Poetry.

Book Discussion | Women Writing Musicals: The Legacy that the History Books Left Out by Jennifer Ashley Tepper


In honor of Women’s History Month, author and theater historian Jennifer Ashley Tepper will celebrate her newly released book with a presentation and performance. Women Writing Musicals: The Legacy that the History Books Left Out is the first-ever book about female musical theater writers. In this program, Tepper will give an inside look at some of the more than 300 inspiring women featured. Expect behind-the-scenes photos and stories about prolific and celebrated Broadway writers like Betty Comden and Jeanine Tesori, women who have written musicals but gained fame elsewhere like Dolly Parton and Sara Bareilles, and dramatists you may not have heard of—but definitely should have—from Micki Grant, whose mega-hit musical about the Black experience made her the first woman to write book, music, and lyrics for a Broadway show to María Grever, the first Mexican female composer to achieve international success—who made her Broadway debut at age 56. Tepper will also present guest performers sharing some fascinating songs written by women for musicals that will bring the book to life and make you look at theater in a whole new way. Registration required.
