years until its fall in 1989. East and West Germany only had
limited opportunities to visit each other, even less for East and
West Berliners. Families, Friends and Lovers were divided and
many people tried to flee.

between East- and West Germans, that took place in the
shadow of the Berlin Wall. Three couples fell in love during the
German division. Their stories, of love that defied a time of
isolation and separation, were kept alive through letters. Here
in this exhibition you will have the opportunity to see
Germany's Cold War history from a new and unexpected
perspective. This is the story of devotion without borders,
without walls, told with the artefacts of three unusual and
remarkable romances.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What happens when poetry is enmeshed with scientific language? Is it possible to expose the language of scientific sub-cultures, and make that language accessible and inclusive rather than technical and exclusive? How is the engagement with the scientists visible, and how will it cast shadows across the poetry. What are the perceptual implications of presence and proximity within such collaborative creative practices?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These are some of the questions addressed by <i>Poetry meets Biomedicine</i>, a collaborative project between poets and scientists, curated by MA Creative Writing student Dorothy Lehane.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Regarded as the father of modern fashion photography, 2013 marks the
centenary of Norman Parkinson’s birth. Many of the tropes that are now
commonplace in print and online images – exotic locations, unexpected
props and weird juxtapositions – were introduced in the extraordinary
photographs he took before and after the Second World War. Beyond the
glamour that for many defines his work, he was also an incisive and
skilful portrait.</span></span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Congratulations to Adebowale Oriku on the publication of his new book, <i>Schopenhauer's Child</i>, <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Schopenhauers-Child-Adebowale-Oriku/dp/1780034555" target="_blank">available on Amazon</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'The death his younger sister goads Nigerian-born Adebowale Oriku into asking searching questions. In this remarkable book, he tackles the issues that have exercised the minds of thinkers of every stripe over centuries. Can religion be a consolation? Maybe (for some). Maybe not. Psychology? Psychoanalysis? Literature and the arts? Humour? Sociology? Science? Or the 'mother' - Sophia - of all disciplines: Philosophy? A self-described 'liberal' and 'sceptic,' with the power of imagination and what the ancients would call 'nous,' Oriku writes about how the death of his sister affects him and how he deals with it - or tries to deal with it. And, generally, drawing on a fund of experience, both theoretical and practical, he expands on Life, Love and Loss.'</span><br />

BA Drama & Performance students are staging two Brecht plays this month, and the guest night for the first one is this Thursday, during the symposium (flyer attached).</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
There's a reception from 6.30 and the play starts at 7pm in the Edric theatre. I hope you'll be able to come -- tickets are £6 (concession price), but you'll have to reserve in advance by emailing Gill Foster (<a href="mailto:fosterg@lsbu.ac.uk">fosterg@lsbu.ac.uk</a>).</div>
