Page 10 PHOENIX April 18, 1974Whitman/Crane Series:Poets to Read atHistorical SocietyThe next reading in The Walt W hitman/Hart Crane Memorial Poetry Series at The Long Island Historical Society is set for Wednesday, April 24 at 7:30 p.m., when Emmett Jarrett of Cobble Hill and Virginia Terris of Freeport, L.I., will read their work in the library of the Society at 128 Pierrepont Street.Emmett Jarrett, who taught poetry for many years at St.Ann%u2019s School in the Heights, has published two books of poetry, \Days%u201d (1968) and \(1971). Anthologies that have included his work are \erican Poets,%u201d %u201c American Literary Anthology #3,%u201d \21,%u201d and \Canadian Poetry.%u201d His work has appeared in numerous literary magazines.Jarrett currently works in the New York Poets-in-the-Schools Program and in addition is co-editor of a magazine titled %u201c Hanging Loose.%u201d A student at the General Theological Seminary, he lives with his wife Carol Baum in Cobble Hill.Robert Hershon has said of Jarrett%u2019s writing: His . . . %u201crange is wide-from the lyric vision of his major work, %u2018Design for the City of Man%u2019 to the riotous humor of his poems on the end of a marriage. He pays homage to the poets whohave taught him his art-Blake, Williams, Whitman and Ginsbergbut he is going his own way and that way is increasingly simple. He has learned to trust his voice and that is a difficult lesson. Jarrett is also a rare teacher of poetry, which must have something to do with why it%u2019s such a pleasure to listen to him read his work.%u201dVirginia Terris was born in Brooklyn in 1917, and teachers in the English Department at Adelphi University. Her poetry has also been published in many leading magazines and anthologies. Ms. Terris is presently on sabbatical, working on an article about theAmerican ooet Muriel Rukevser for %u201c The American Poetry Review%u201d and also writing a book about women in America. She has written articles for The Emily Dickinson Bulletin as well as works of original fiction for periodicals. Ms. Gioseffi, who coordinates the poetry series, says that Brooklyn residents are sure to enjoy her vivid poems and be proud of her as a daughter of their borough.Packer PTAFashion ShowThe Parent Teacher Association of the Packer Collegiate Institute will have its annual Luncheon and Fashion Show April 23, with a plant sale starting at 11 a.m., followed at noon by the luncheon and fashion show.The fashions will be presented by Martin%u2019s Department Store, and will be modeled by Packer mothers, fathers, and students from all grades.

The show, titled %u201c Multiple Images, Multiple Meanings,%u201d will be open to the public free of charge daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Pratt 'nstitute Gallery is located on the first floor of the Main Building on the campus, DeKalb Ave. and Hall Stret, Clinton Hill.An artist and educator, Mary Buckley is professor of art, color and design at Pratt Institute's School of Art and Design, where she's been a faculty member since 1958. She also is a director of the Margaret Gate Institute of Huntington, N.Y., and recently published \graphy of Color Theory%u201d with Gale Research.The world of Mary Buckley's art is a diverse and evolving one, rooted in her exploration of light and space and peopled bv her uniaue two-dimensional %u201c silhouette%u201d figures. Her sculpture commissions for the new State Legislature Building, which are the feature of this current show, include two vastly different sets of work.The first, in mock-up form at the show, is a series of four New York State Symbols, the Maple Tree, the Rose, the Beaver, and the Bluebird. Each of the works portrays a brightly-colored stylized miniature symbol inset into a larger, multicolor abstraction of the work. The standards are each six by twentyfour feet. The symbols are baked enamel on aluminum panels and hang inside the aluminum frames of the standards. The four works are the only color to be seen inside the center of the Mall and vividly contrast with the marble Mall facades. The total work uses more than four tons of aluminum. It will be installed in the spring.Standing on the street level of the Mall, facing the old Victorian Rococo Capitol building, is Mary Buckley%u2019s second commission, titled \group of ten of Miss Buckley%u2019s two-dimensional silhouette \ple%u201d mounted on a pedestal. Each of the approximately nine-foot-tall figures is cut from one-inch-thick aluminum. The total sculpture weighs two tons. One Albany newspaper has described her silhouettes as a %u2018%u2018delegation of constituents, standing watch over the activities of their elected representatives.%u201d The sculpture is represented in the exhibit by wooden models and two full-size aluminum mockups.Mary Buckley studied at Keuka College, Yale University Art School, the Brooklyn Museum Art School and the New School, and with Victor Candell and Hans Hofman. She is a MacDowell Foundation Fellow, and has been elected to \American Women,%u201d \in the E ast,%u201d %u2018%u2018Dictionary ofR in n r o n h v %u201d anH %u201c P i ~**we%u00bb* *%u201cV ,ographs of 2000 International Women of Achievement.\rThe Special Place of SherryIn the Realm of Fine Wines%u201c If I had a thousand sons,the first thing I would teachthem would be to forsweara ll tasteless d rin k andconcentrate on sherry. .-W illia m ShakespeareBYLEONPALEYWhen the Bard wrotethese lines he spoke for allof England, and in largemeasure, for the entireworld, past and present, forwhom Sherry, the Spanishwine from the Jerez district,is a much-sung favorite.Spain is rightly proud ofher Jerez vineyards whichproduce the world%u2019s onlygenuine Sherry. The chalky, limestone soil of Jerezprovides nourishment forthe Palomino grape whichpredominates in the makingof 90% of sherry. Thisparticular grape is one ofthe few great wine grapesthat is also delicious to eat,and the ready edibility ofthe Palomino requires careful surveillance of Jerezvineyards, since the produce is found so tempting.So dear to Spanish heartsis the authenticity of theirSherry that Sherry shippersand producers engaged in alengthy and tedious courtbattle to insure that theappellation Sherry shouldindicate only the produce ofJerez (the Moors, who earlysettled Jerez, called thedistrict Sherris, from whichcomes Sherry). The courtruled that Sherry is synonymous with Jerez and anyother Sherry produced elsewhere must be labeled withits geographical origin; thatis, British Sherry, Australian Sherry, New York Sherry, California Sherry.Two major types of Sherry emerge naturally fromthe fermentation process.One type, Fino, is characterized by the developmentof a flor, or yeast crust, thatcovers the wine and eventually drops to the bottom ofthe cask. A pale, light goldin color, Fino Sherry is dryand crisp. Its fresh, delicateconstitution makes it adelightful apertif. Fino%u2019sdelicate bouquet lasts onlyup to two years whenbottled, it gains nothingfrom being stored, anddeteriorates rapidly onceopened. Amontillado is apopular derivative of theFino type, but darker incolor and nuttier in taste.Olorosa, the other majortype of Sherry, is a darkergold, a pungent nutty wine,naturally dry, but whoserichness creates an illusionof sweetness. Popularcream Sherries are derivedfrom Olorosa types by theaddition of a sweeter grape,the Pedro Ximenoz.
