\"APSUClarksville, TN<\/strong> – Malcolm Glass, the local award-winning poet and Austin Peay State University emeritus professor of English, can\u2019t seem to keep his creative side in check. A few years ago, he took up photography and created dazzling images that were displayed around town and in Nashville.<\/p>\n

Then, in the spring of 2011, he decided to give drawing a go. That\u2019s when he enrolled in APSU art professor Billy Renkl\u2019s Drawing IV class at the University.<\/p>\n

Malcolm Glass<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cIt was a terrific class,\u201d Glass recalled. \u201cWe had a dozen fabulous students, and he is a master teacher.\u201d<\/p>\n

The works Glass created in that class will form part of \u201cMusic, Art and Language: A Conversation\u201d \u2013 a new creative arts event he is presenting at 5:00pm, April 2nd at the Clarksville-Montgomery County Public Library. The event, which is free and open to the public, is part of the APSU Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts\u2019 Spring Salon Series.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a way, this event will be something of a tribute to Billy,\u201d Glass said.<\/p>\n

In Renkl\u2019s drawing class, Glass decided to create pieces \u201cinspired\u201d by music. Those pieces will be on display at the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe music was varied,\u201d he said. \u201cI used contemporary Canadian composer Glenn Buhr, Margaret Leng Tan, who composes music for toy pianos, the Icelandic band Amiina, British minimalist composer Gavin Bryars and (American singer) Tom Waits.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glass also wrote a few literary pieces to go with his drawings, which he will read at the Salon. But the part of the event he wants to focus on is the \u201cconversation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI will give some background info and such, but I want the audience members to do most of the talking,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ll ask them which drawing goes with a piece of music and why. I want to know their responses to the music and the art, and I don\u2019t want to influence their opinions or reactions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glass likens this event to the soirees hosted in studios in 19th century France, with individuals engaging with artists about the works they created. The APSU Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts hosts the Salon Series once a month during the fall and spring semesters, featuring distinguished local artists and arts organizations, followed by refreshments and good conversations.<\/p>\n
