the world’s foremost rock critics to pioneer the style of gonzo journalism. 除了是原编辑之一 Creem magazine, Bangs is acknowledged to have coined the terms “heavy metal” and “punk.”
Lester Bangs passed away in 1982.
英语 instructor Raul Sandelin, who, with the support of the 英语系,
创意写作计划, and the Grossmont大学 Foundation, is spearheading Bangs’s
induction into Grossmont大学’s Walk of Fame, will introduce the history of the

poetRae Armantrout
晚上7点，格里芬门
创意写作计划在格罗斯蒙特提供了一个晚上与加州大学圣地亚哥分校诗歌与诗学教授，国际著名语言诗人，Rae Armantrout,阅读她广受好评的诗集选集. Armantrout is a native Californian whose poems are masterful contradictions; according
to Robert Creeley, her poems have "a quiet and enabling signature." He adds, "I don’t
think there’s another poet writing who is so consummate in authority and yet so generous
to her readers and company alike." A Professor of Poetry and Poetics, she has taught
writing at 加州大学圣地亚哥分校 for almost two decades. Rae Armantrout came up as a poet in the Bay
Area, educated at UC Berkeley, where she studied with Denise Levertov, and San Francisco
State. Subsequently, she was at the center of the first generation of Language Poets.
Since then Rae Armantrout has forged a growing international reputation—publishing
eight remarkable books of poems, most recently Versed (Wesleyan, 2009).Find out more
about Rae Armantrout @ PoetryFoundation。org.
