1. The Georgia Review Fall Issue Release Party
On Monday, October 22, The Georgia Review will celebrate the release of its Fall 2007 issue with a
reading and reception at the Athens-Clarke County Public Library, located at 2025 Baxter Street in
Athens. The featured reader is UGA graduate Jeremy Collins, whose essay “Shadow Boxing”
appears in the issue. Collins’ reading will begin at 7 p.m. and will be followed by a dessert
reception. Copies of the new issue will be available for sale. The evening is free and open to the
public, *and* a blue-card event. Jeremy Collins earned a BA in English and religious studies in
2000, and a master’s degree in religious studies in 2002, from UGA. He later received an MFA in
creative writing from the University of New Mexico, and he also holds an AA degree in religion
from Young Harris College. He currently teaches at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.
“Shadow Boxing” is a lively chronicle of Collins’ struggles as a developing writer under the guiding
star of an unlikely muse--Sylvester Stallone. The essay is Collins’ first publication. The rest of the
issue features: “Eye Level in Iraq,” a twenty-four-page portfolio of photographs from the Iraq War
with accompanying essays by the photographers, Thorne Anderson and Kael Alford; fiction by
Georgia’s Janisse Ray and Jack Driscoll; essays by Barbara C. Mallonee and Laura Sewell Matter; a
play by David Wagoner; poetry by Kevin Clark, Bruce Cohen, Robert Cording, Grace Danborn,
Sharon Dolin, Alice Friman, Margaret Gibson, Gary Gildner, Linda Pastan, and Kevin Prufer; and
reviews by Judith Kitchen, Greg Johnson, and Gerald Weales.

Lelavision co-founders, Ela Lamblin and Leah Mann, began their collaborative efforts in 1992 in
Atlanta, GA , using sculpture, music, and movement to develop themes based on myth, nature,
and spirit. In 1996, they founded Lelavision Physical Music in the Seattle, Washington area. They
live and create their art at their home on Vashon Island in the Puget Sound. The name Lela is
more than a play on the names of the founders; derived from two Sanskrit terms meaning
"creation" and "creative spark", with references to "play," it denotes the spirit of the performance
group. The company combines modern and aerial dance, music, theater, and large interactive
musical sculptures to create innovative works of awe and whimsy. Their work is about the
transfer of energy, the emanations of the soul, and the common denominators of the human
experience.
Mann and Lamblin work with a synthesis of form, space, movement, and music in a collaboration
that draws on the unique contribution of each. Lamblin's musical instrument/sculptures represent
a harmony of sound, form, and movement meant not solely to be looked at and walked around
but to be sounded and intimately experimented with. They appeal both to the ear and to the eye
and, because they are thematically indicative, to the soul and to the consciousness. Mann's work is
eclectic in form, pulling from many ethnic and technical genres but always centered in the
exploration of art as spiritual journey and social justice tool. Her work is enhanced by the use of
props, large visual elements. Together their work has been awarded numerous awards, grants and
commissions, locally and nationally. Lelavision has toured to Italy, the UK, Singapore, Thailand,
Canada, Israel, as well as throughout the United States with their hybrid genre of performance,
Physical Music.
