Jersey-scape Poets,William Carlos Williams, Philip Roth: “an attachment so rooted”

Newark Public Library, where Neil Klugman works in Goodbye Columbus: "I sat on a bench and looked out towards Broad Street and the morning traffic," (Philip Roth: Goodbye, Columbus)

The writing of poet William Carlos Williams, born and living all his life in Rutherford, New Jersey (1883-1963), and of novelist Philip Roth (1933-), born and raised in Newark, New Jersey, will be the subject of the last event (Thursday, November 7, Cohen Lounge, Dickson Hall, 4-5 p.m.) in the series “Jersey: A Sense of Place.” The mission of this year-long series, hosted by the Institute for the Humanities at Montclair State University and funded by a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, has been to investigate the role of the state as a source of inspiration for artists and humanists, past and present, and for experiments in living.
