SUMMARY:Copper Canyon 50th Anniversary Celebration at Elliott Bay Book Company
DESCRIPTION:Poetry is vital to language and living. Based in Port Townsend\, Washington\, Copper Canyon Press is a nationally recognized publisher dedicated to advancing the art\, practice\, and reading of poetry from around the world. 2023 marks a half century of its efforts in doing so—to celebrate this 50th anniversary\, Copper Canyon will host a reading of poets who stand at the crossroads of poetry’s past and future. Coinciding with the AWP conference in Seattle\, this reading takes advantage of a rare consortium of extraordinary poets\, many of whom are convening for the first time since the pandemic\, and all of whom will be presenting new or recent work.   \nDeborah Landau’s newest collection of poems\, Skeletons\, will be published by Copper Canyon Press in spring 2023. Landau is the author of four other poetry collections: Soft Targets—winner of the Believer Book Award—The Uses of the Body\, The Last Usable Hour\, and Orchidelirium\, selected by Naomi Shihab Nye for the Robert Dana Anhinga Prize for Poetry. In 2016\, she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship. The Uses of the Body was featured on NPR’s All Things Considered\, and a Spanish edition of the collection\, Los Usos Del Cuerpo\, was published by Valparaiso Ediciones in 2017.

DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \n“Join poets Alex Dimitrov\, John Freeman\, and Stéphane Bouquet for a night of poetry readings of their respective work\, Love and Other Poems (Copper Canyon)\, Wind\, Trees (Copper Canyon)\, and Common Life (trans. by Lindsay Turner\, Nightboat). This event will be moderated by Lindsay Turner. \nAt a moment at which the fabric of everyday social life is increasingly threatened across the globe\, Dimitrov\, Freeman\, and Boquet’s poetry invites us to join a two-way conversation with the world. On one hand\, their poetry acknowledges the world’s past and present existence by way of its natural and mineral elements\, by way of encounters\, sensations and a multitude of unspectacular events. And on the other hand\, their poems orient us toward the future\, helping us welcome it and question it. It is at this junction of different times that they\, as poets\, stand as focal points that absorb our world\, give it a shape and invite us to ponder: what does it mean to inhabit the world together today? \nIn English. Free with RSVP.” \nRSVP here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/what-there-is-left-to-say-stephane-bouquet-alex-dimitrov-john-freeman-tickets-565663955117

SUMMARY:Community of Writers Poetry Program taught by Victoria Chang\, Kazim Ali\, Forrest Gander\, Carmen Giménez\, Brenda Hillman\, and Evie Shockley
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \n“The Poetry Program at the Community of Writers is founded on the belief that when poets gather in a community to write new poems\, each poet may well break through old habits and write something stronger and truer than before. To help this happen we work together to create an atmosphere in which everyone might feel free to try anything. In the mornings we meet in workshops to read to each other the work of the previous twenty-four hours; each participant also has an opportunity to work with each staff poet. In the late afternoons we gather for a conversation about some aspect of craft. On several afternoons staff poets hold brief individual conferences. Director: Brenda Hillman. \nTuition for the Poetry Program is $1450 and includes six evening meals. Financial aid is available; requests for our limited financial aid can be made in the Application Form. Admissions are based on submitted manuscripts. Please Note: Tuition does not include housing costs. See Housing and Meals. See Fees & Deadlines\, below. \nNote: We make no admissions decisions before all the submissions have been read and evaluated. The Application Form link is at the bottom of the page. \nDeadline for receipt of application/submission is March 28\, 2023.”  \nApply here: https://communityofwriters.org/workshops/poetry-application/

SUMMARY:50th Anniversary Reading with Jericho Brown\, Paisley Rekdal\, and Arthur Sze
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Copper Canyon Press and Lannan Foundation  \nThe Lensic Performing Arts Center \n211 W. San Francisco Street\nSanta Fe\, New Mexico 87501\n \n$8 Adult / $5 Senior and Student\nMore information at The Lensic\n \n \nSome of the most important poets writing today come together at the Lensic and via Livestream to celebrate two institutions that have had an outsized role in sustaining the artform for more than half a century: Copper Canyon Press and Lannan Foundation. Marking Copper Canyon Press’s 50th anniversary as an independent publisher dedicated to poetry\, this reading by Pulitzer Prize winners and Poets Laureate testifies to poetry’s remarkable adaptability. Jericho Brown will deliver innovative poetic forms that express the pain—and beauty—of Black and queer life. And Paisley Rekdal will present hybrid text-and-media works that reexamine the history of the West through the stories of the laborers who built it.  \nNational Book Award winner and longtime Santa Fe resident Arthur Sze will open the event with a discussion of the history of Lannan Foundation and Copper Canyon Press and their importance to American literature. Copper Canyon Executive Editor Michael Wiegers will then introduce the readers\, joining all the participants afterward in a closing conversation about poetry’s continued importance as we face the future.  \nThis event will also be livestreamed. \nParticipant Bios: \n“By some literary magic―no\, it’s precision\, and Brown manages to bestow upon even the most public of subjects the most intimate and personal stakes.”—NPR \nJericho Brown is the author of three collections of poems\, most recently The Tradition\, which won the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry and was a finalist for the National Book Award. He is the recipient of several fellowships from institutions such as the Guggenheim and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University\, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Brown is currently the Charles Howard Candler Professor of English and Creative Writing.  \n“Rekdal is a poet of observation and history. . . . She revels in detail but writes vast\, moral poems that help us live in a world of contraries. . . .  These are some of the best lyric poems being written today.”—Los Angeles Times \nPaisley Rekdal is the author of three works of nonfiction and several collections of poetry\, most recently a poetry and multimedia work called West: A Translation\, which was recently longlisted for the 2023 National Book Award. She is the recipient of fellowships and grants from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and the Academy of American Poets\, among others. She is Distinguished Professor at the University of Utah\, where she directs the American West Center\, and she has served as Utah’s state Poet Laureate. \n“Sze is simultaneously the microscope and telescope of the poetry world. And more. To truly attend to these poems is to begin to feel like you have been opened to a kaleidoscopic experience of the cosmos\, a multisensual one whose kinetic foci gather moments across time and space\, word and world.”—Terrain \nArthur Sze has published eleven books of poetry\, including Sight Lines\, which won the National Book Award\, Compass Rose\, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize\, and\, most recently\, The Glass Constellation: New and Collected Poems. Sze is the recipient of many honors\, including the 2022 Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize for Lifetime Achievement from the Poetry Foundation\, a Lannan Literary Award\, fellowships from the Guggenheim and National Endowment for the Arts fellowships\, and grants from the Witter Bynner Foundation for Poetry. A Chancellor Emeritus at the Academy of American Poets and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, he is a professor emeritus at the Institute of American Indian Arts and was the first Poet Laureate of Santa Fe. His latest work\, The Silk Dragon II: Translations of Chinese Poetry\, will be published by Copper Canyon in 2024. \n“Copper Canyon Press may be a little nonprofit publisher far from New York\, but over the last 50 years\, its editors in Port Townsend\, Washington\, have shaped and elevated American poetry.”—Washington Post \nMichael Wiegers has been editing books for Copper Canyon Press since 1993\, and currently serves as the Press’s Executive Editor/Editor in Chief. Most recently\, he edited two anthologies of Copper Canyon Press poetry\, both published this year: A House Called Tomorrow: 50 Years of Poetry and Come Shining: More Poems and Stories from Fifty Years of Copper Canyon Press. He is also the poetry editor of Narrative magazine and edited What About This: The Collected Poems of Frank Stanford\, which was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award\, and The Essential W.S. Merwin. He is currently at work on a book about the poet W.S. Merwin and serves as a trustee for the Merwin Conservancy. \nRegister for the livestream here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_G3l0TwKcSPeTse-Up6eg7w#/registration \n  \n*UPDATE (October 05)*: We regret that Jorie Graham is no longer able to participate in this event\, as originally listed.

Porter\, who goes by the pen name Red Pine\, is a renowned translator of ancient Chinese poetry. He has published over thirty books\, including Road to Heaven\, his quest to find hermits in the Zhongnan Mountains that reignited a movement in modern China to seek enlightenment through poetry and mountain solitude. Bill is a living gateway to ancient Chinese history and culture. The film follows Bill’s adventures as a child of a bank robber\, raised in a gilded household\, who turned his back on American devotion to materialism and went off to live in monasteries and mountains in Taiwan. He pursued a fascination with Buddhism and poetry and traveled to remote regions of China to rediscover an  ancient tradition of mountain hermits vital to Chinese culture.” \nPurchase tickets here: https://rosetheatre.com/film/dancing-with-the-dead
