To celebrate National Poem in Your Pocket Day, the Humanities Center has collected a pocketful of poems from departments across campus. 

Visit the Humanities Center website for an electronic version.

Or visit the Weitz Center Commons, where you can put an actual poem printed on actual paper in your actual pocket—there's a box of verse waiting for you to adopt one.

Roger Bechtel and the Carleton Players will be presenting British playwright Martin Crimp’s ATTEMPTS ON HER LIFE at the Weitz Center for Creativity. The production is Bechtel’s first production at Carleton.  He joined the faculty this Fall after a stint at Bowdoin College.  In addition to teaching, Bechtel has directed and acted Off-Broadway and at a number of regional theaters, including Theater for a New Audience in New York, the Yale Repertory Theatre, the McCarter Theatre, the Utah Shakespeare Festival, the Snowmass Aspen Repertory Theater, and the Attic Theater.  He is currently the artistic director of Big Picture Group, a theater company based in Chicago that creates multimedia performances exploring contemporary culture.
