...he’s not much of a hip-hop enthusiast, but Brinkman’s brand of rap—literary hip-hop, or lit-hop—is relevant to the medievalist; Brinkman translates “The Canterbury Tales” into the language of contemporary youth culture. “He preserves the kind of brilliance and surprise, the kind of linguistic pyrotechnics one finds in Chaucer,” says Simpson, who had publicized Brinkman’s originally planned Oct. 5 visit to Harvard. But the U.S. Border Patrol had other plans...
...Weisskopf's story of horrific pain and soul searching.

Harvard’s Office for the Arts (OFA) kicked off its festival honoring acclaimed composer, conductor, and musician Leonard Bernstein ’39 last Thursday evening in Paine Hall with a concert featuring student performers. The concert explored the musical influences from Bernstein’s youth and time at Harvard during the first half, and continued demonstrating the presence of these influences in Bernstein’s own works in the latter half of the performance. It was a fitting retrospective on Bernstein’s early development as a musician as well as a remarkable display...
