The Wilson Art Gallery will host “Here & There,” an exhibit of paintings and pastels of landscape and figurative works by Mark Topp.

 

With little formal art education, Topp studied portraiture while in high school with internationally renowned Syracuse painter, Robert Hofmann, subsequently broadening his portfolio to include landscapes. His cityscapes and portraiture interpreting central New York and Pennsylvania have been exhibited in Syracuse, Harrisburg and Pittsburgh. He has also received awards from the Cooperstown Art Association National show (2000) and the Mystic Maritime International (1989).

On Friday, October 9, from 4 to 6 p.m., there will be an opening reception for the exhibit, which will be on display at the Wilson Art Gallery from October 9 to November 6 during regular library hours. The reception and exhibit are free and open to the public.

Come join the Le Moyne College Book Club on Wednesday, October 14 as we discuss Being Mortal by Atul Gawande. We will be meeting in the Bernat Special Activities Room in the Noreen Reale Falcone Library from 7-8:30 pm. Refreshments will be served!

Welcome to the Fall 2015 semester! We look forward to working with you during the semester ahead. Here are some reminders about the many things our Library can help you with this semester.

• Course Guides and Subject Guides: When you need help with finding sources for an assignment, consult these library guides created by the subject librarian for that course. They are full of useful tips and leads that can save you lots of time!
• Ask a Librarian: Whether it’s morning, noon or the middle of the night, there are options for you to ask a librarian for help. You can chat in person, via phone, text message, email or via live chat.

With support from the Central New York Irish Cultural Society (CNY-ICS) and the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the Library has purchased an American first edition copy of W. B. Yeats’ 1928 work, The Tower.

“Sailing to Byzantium,” “Leda and the Swan,” and “Among School Children” are today considered some of the best and most famous in the Yeats canon. Virginia Woolf, in her unsigned review in the April 21, 1928 issue of The Nation and Anthenaeum, wrote, “Mr. Yeats has never written more exactly and more passionately.” Yeats was not so sure. Later editions contain numerous edits by the poet, making the first edition, as is true in all literature, so important.

Written between 1912 and 1927, the poems in The Tower are evocative of the image of Thoor Ballylee, the 15th century Norman building in Galway purchased by Yeats in 1917. This structure dons the iconic book cover that was designed by Thomas Sturge Moore, poet and play write and collaborator of Yeats in the Literary Theatre Club.

This acquisition and the display in the Library of other rare Yeats editions are part of Yeats2015, the worldwide celebration of the Irish writer’s 150th birthday.

This work is held in the Irish Literature Collection within the Library’s Tatyana Popovic Special Collections & Archives.
