As Janice May Udry once said, "A poem is nice." Actually she said "A tree is nice," which is actually a poem. But the point is poems are nice. So in honor of nice things and nice September afternoons, Bwog honors the 125th Birthday of William Carlos Williams. Although the actual date of his birth, September 17th, has passed, the celebration continues. All weekend long, aspiring poets, ancient troubadours and bibliophiles alike will convene just ten miles west of Hamilton Hall in Rutherford, NJ (Williams' hometown), to sing praises of the man and his work.

Bwog offers some of its favorite Williams' poems. Feel free to share your own suggestions.

The silver hair and sarcastic cracks get us every time.

sdfOn Februrary 17th, 2006, we had a giant party at Mona to celebrate the launch of BW's quirky younger brother, the Bwog. You, at least, are still reading our little foray into new media, so you might as well help us celebrate our survival one year later. We were going to have it at Mona again, until the state Marshals foiled that plan. But never fear! We've teamed up with the Varsity Show's preview party in the back room at the West End, so you don't even have to freeze your snot on the walk down to 109th--and happy hour lasts until 1:00 AM ($3 drafts and $5 wells). So, your Saturday night itinerary:

8:00 PM: B-Dubbers get to the Stend, start drinking.
9:00 PM: First V-Show preview show
10:00 PM: Drinking continues.
11:00 PM: Second preview
Midnight: something exciting?

We can't promise another life size cutout of J. Sachs, but there will be cake, and everyone who's anyone--which means you. Incessant reminders to follow.


Forty-seven years ago today, in Allahabad, India, Bwog's favorite international soccer tycoon was born. And it took him this long to get his own Wikipedia entry. Cheers, professor!
