Exhibit marks donation of Milberg Collection of Irish Poetry to Firestone Library

"Whatever is
well made"
By Justin Harmon

To mark the acquisition of the Leonard L. Milberg '53 Collection of Irish Poetry, which comprises more than 1,100 printed works by 50 poets from the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland, an exhibit of materials from the collection will be on display in the Main and Milberg galleries of Firestone Library from April 27 through September 20.
     The exhibit's title, "Sing whatever is well made: The Leonard L. Milberg '53 Collection of Irish Poetry," is taken from a line in "After Ben Bulben" by W.B. Yeats. In the exhibit are approximately 150 items: first and significant editions of the poets' books, broadsides, translations into English, children's books, fiction and nonfiction, and ephemera such as poem cards. Other items include a box of pen nibs belonging to James Joyce and a framed holograph poem written by Seamus Heaney on the occasion of Paul Muldoon's 40th birthday. ...

A break from equations
By Caroline Moseley

What do pianist Donald Priour, violinist David Relyea, saxophonist Mark van Raamsdonk and Gershwin-singer Steven Gubser have in common?
     Obviously, an interest in music. That they're all physics graduate students is less obvious. Yet these physicist-musicians and eight others, both undergraduate and graduate students, perform on April 18 in one of Princeton's most popular musical events: the annual Physics Department Concert. ...
