No backyard or space for a garden? No problem. The Princeton Recreational Department has seasonal garden sites available for those herbs, flowers, or vegetables you may have been wistfully thinking about.
Meeting in public session last week, Princeton Borough Council was asked by residents of Cleveland Lane for redress concerning the installation of concrete curbing on the street in front of their homes.
Describing a “global challenge rooted in myriad local conflicts,” George Rupp, president of the International Rescue Committee (IRC), delivered a lecture on forced migration last Friday at Princeton University’s Frist Campus Center. The address was part of the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies’ 2008 Spring Colloquium on Refugees and Forced Migration.
In 1992, poet James Ragan was in Los Angeles during the riots that followed the Rodney King beating. That same year, he watched his native Czechoslovakia divide itself into two separate nations. The two events drive the poems in his 1995 collection, The Hunger Wall.
On Tuesday, May 6, at 7:30 p.m., Mr. Ragan will read from this collection as well as his books Womb-Weary (1990), Lusions (1997), and The World-Shouldering “I” (2000) during a US1 Poets’ Cooperative Special Poetry Reading in front of the second floor fireplace in the Princeton Public Library.
