Throne of Blood
Date: Thursday, April 14, 2011
Time: 6:30 PL
Place: Henry Madden Library, room 2206
Throne of Blood (1957)
In conjunction with “Lethal Beauty: Samurai Weapons and Armor” exhibition
One of the most celebrated screen adaptations of Shakespeare, Akira Kurosawa’s film reimagines Macbeth in feudal Japan. Starring Kurosawa’s longtime collaborator Toshiro Mifune and the legendary Isuzu Yamada as his ruthless wife, the film tells the tale of a valiant warrior’s savage rise to power and his ignominious fall. Kurosawa fuses one of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies with the formal elements of Japanese Noh theater to make a Macbeth that is all his own-a classic tale of ambition and duplicity set against a ghostly landscape of fog and inescapable doom. Criterion film version, in Japanese with English subtitles. 109 minutes.
Discussant: Kerry Yo Nakagawa
Co-sponsors: Henry Madden Library & Japanese Students Association

Thesis Reading Series
MRA Program in Creative Writing, California State University, Fresno
Thesis Reading Series
Date: Friday, April 15, 2011
Time: 7 p.m
Place: Fresno State Alice Peters Auditorium
This event is free and open to the public. Free parking in the University Business Center (UBC) lot.
MICHELLE BRITTAN has work published or forthcoming in the journals “Crab Creek Review,” “Nimrod,” “The Grove Review,” and “Calyx,” and was the title poet for “Time You Let Me In: 25 Poets Under 25,” an anthology edited by Naomi Shihab Nye. Last year, she won the Ernesto Trejo Poetry Prize. Born in San Francisco of mixed white and Malaysian heritage, she lived in the Pacific Northwest before coming to Fresno.
MIGUEL JIMENEZ was born and raised on Chicago's South Side. Before enrolling in the MFA Creative Writing program at Fresno State, he received his B.A. in English Creative Writing from DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. He was a contributing writer for “Café Magazine,” and assistant editor for the “Chicago Artists' News.”
MARIO ROSADO left his hometown Los Angeles to escape the savagery of the corporate world so that he can write a novel, leaving behind a salary position for the pursuit of art. He received his B.A. in English Education in 2001 and his Single Subject Teaching Credential in 2005, both from Cal State Long Beach, where he went on to work as a substitute and lead teacher for at-risk youth, and later a security manager for a government facility. He is happy to receive his MFA degree, but has no idea what happens next. He needs your help.
GEORGIA WILLIAMS, after many years devoted to earning tenure as a student at California State University, Fresno, earning a B.A., a M.A. in Literature, and now, at least, a MFA in Creative Writing, plans to take her show on the road. She hopes to turn her thesis into a published book and her teaching talents into a full-time teaching gig, one that allows her time to transform aforementioned thesis into aforementioned book. As Pope noted, hope springs eternal.
