SUMMARY:Copper Canyon Press 50th Anniversary Celebration: Poets on their Personal Bests Featuring: Jericho Brown\, Mark Bibbins\, and Cate Marvin
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with The New School Creative Writing Program on November 17th 7pm ET \nFeaturing: Jericho Brown\, Mark Bibbins\, and Cate Marvin \nHosted by: Erin Belieu\, Carl Phillips\, Michael Wiegers\, and John Reed \nPoetry is vital to language and living. Since 1973\, Copper Canyon Press has been publishing extraordinary poetry from around the world to engage the imaginations and intellects of readers. This 50th anniversary event celebrates the Press—and the many poets who have called it home—by way of a unique\, new anthology: Personal Best: Makers on Their Poems that Matter Most. In tandem with its publication\, this reading will feature award-winning poets (Pulitzer Prize\, Guggenheim\, and New York Arts Foundation\, among others) to read and discuss what they consider to be the best poems they’ve ever written. Offering an intimate portrait into the working mind of writers\, this program will ask how writers manage the critic within\, who or what they write for\, and how we might rethink what literature gets remembered most. \nPersonal Best editors Erin Belieu and Carl Phillips will host the poets in their reading and conversation. Director of the New School Creative Writing Program\, John Reed\, will welcome guests\, and Executive Editor at Copper Canyon Press\, Michael Wiegers\, will introduce the program with a survey of this fifty years of extraordinary poetry making.  \nWollman Hall\, The New School \n65 West 11th Street\nNew York\, NY 10011\nNovember 17th\, 7pm ET. \nRegister to join the livestream here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_MzM71KSzQDeJ9aQHN5saTQ#/registration \nRegister for the in-person event here: https://event.newschool.edu/coppercanyonpress50th

SUMMARY:Jacar Press Presents a Reading with Kevin Prufer in Conversation with Molly Twomey
DESCRIPTION:Jacar Press Presents a Reading with Kevin Prufer on Wednesday\, December 6\, 2pm ET \nFrom the organizers:\n“Their conversation will be centered around Kevin’s amazing new book The Fears\, Copper Canyon Press. \nGhostlit by streetlights” and filtered through tale and recollection\, Prufer examines our fears of loss\, death\, and obscurity. Narratives are braided together as Prufer manipulates white space to mimic the silence of minds at work on unsolvable problems\, how time “unravels / endlessly.” Here\, visions of classical Greece and the trials of ancient Romans coexist with the everyday—memories of a parent’s death or the loss of a pet. We bear witness as the poet writes “to preserve the intricacy of [his] own mind / against the eventual / certainty of [his] absence.” Exploring what it means to be forgotten and how legacy is preserved through poetry\, history books\, a mummy’s index finger\, and love letters from the grave\, The Fears invites us to consider what it means to matter. \nWednesday\, December 6\, 2023\n2pm East Coast time\nZoom link:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/82814413801 \nMolly Twomey grew up in Lismore\, County Waterford\, and graduated in 2019 with an MA in Creative Writing from University College Cork. She has been published in Poetry Review\, Poetry Ireland Review\, Banshee\, The Irish Times\, Mslexia\, The Stinging Fly and elsewhere. She runs an online international poetry event\, Just to Say\, sponsored by Jacar Press. In 2021\, she was chosen for Poetry Ireland’s Introductions series and awarded an Arts Council Literature Bursary. Her debut collection\, Raised Among Vultures\, was published in May 2022 with The Gallery Press.”

SUMMARY:Danusha Laméris Presents the Nine Lenses of Poetry Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:Danusha Laméris Presents the Nine Lenses of Poetry Workshop Series from February 11th to March 10th\, 5 Sundays at 5pm PT \nFrom Danusha: \n“Are you an Innovator? A Soul Keeper? \nThere are so many ways to write poems. And so many kinds of poems to read. \nSometimes\, it’s easy to think there’s a right way to write\, or a wrong way. Or just that we don’t–––and can’t–– relate to certain types of poems. \nWhat if there were a way to hold all the different styles without judgment\, to see what a poem has to offer and what it offers the same way we might study an animal in its own biome? \nThis is what coming up with the Nine Lenses of Poetry has done for me. It’s given me new ways to appreciate all kinds of poems\, as well as a way to frame my own work. \nMy hope is that by spending time studying these Nine Lenses\, you will be able to strengthen your own poems\, and to deepen in your appreciation of poetry. \nThis will an online Zoom class. No prerequisites. You don’t even have to be a writer! Just a reader\, and someone who is curious about poetry. \nIn five\, one hour sessions\, I will offer craft talks on the Nine Lenses\, contemplations and prompts\, and space at the end for a Q and A.” \nRegister for the class here: https://danusha-lameris.mykajabi.com/store

SUMMARY:The Community of Writers: Rediscovering Sylvia Plath with Victoria Chang & Matthew Zapruder
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers:  \n“When we think of Sylvia Plath\, it’s easy to see the image of the electric confessional poet who took her own life. Her tragic personal history\, including her marriage to Ted Hughes\, can easily obscure her poetry. But when we return to the work itself\, we see a poet of genius\, who mapped her struggles to find a completely original poetic voice. \n“In this Short Course\, we’ll close-read Plath’s poetry\, to learn from her singularity. We’ll begin with an overview of Plath’s poetry leading up to her creative breakthrough\, then focus the remaining four sessions on close reading poems from her posthumous\, best-known book Ariel. We’ll try to understand together where she came from\, her essential innovations\, and her effect on the poetry that came after her. Was she truly a “confessional” poet? How does she make meaning from the turmoil of her life\, and the time in which she wrote? What were her poetic innovations? How can we understand her poems as something more than mere autobiography? What aspects of her poetry continue to influence poems today? In addition to the poems from Ariel and after\, we’ll look at drafts of her poems from her archives\, to explore her writing process\, so that we can learn from her creative process.  \n“Each session will begin with an hour of discussion between Victoria Chang and Matthew Zapruder\, including background and close readings\, followed by a short break. We will then reconvene for our second hour in which we will discuss your thoughts from the chat\, answer questions\, and offer further insights. We will end each session with an optional poetry writing prompt based on Plath’s poetry. \n“Dates & Times: Online Sundays from April 28 to May 19\, 2024 with a Bonus Session on May 22. Main sessions run from 4 pm-6 pm (Pacific) with optional discussion groups to follow. \n\nSunday\, April 28\, 2024  4:00-6:00 PT / 7:00-9:00 ET\nSunday\, May 5\, 2024  4:00-6:00 PT / 7:00-9:00 ET\nSunday\, May 12\, 2024 4:00-6:00 PT / 7:00-9:00 ET\nSunday\, May 19\, 2024 4:00-6:00 PT / 7:00-9:00 ET\nWednesday\, May 22\, 2024 4:00-6:00 PT / 7:00-9:00 ET (Bonus Session)\n\n“Note: For those who are interested\, intimate Zoom discussion groups (Virtual Houses) will meet after each session and on subsequent Saturdays at 10 AM.” \nRegister here: https://communityofwriters.org/register-for-rediscovering-sylvia-path/

SUMMARY:Ellen Bass presents Truth and Beauty with Marie Howe and Ellen Bass
DESCRIPTION:Ellen Bass presents Truth and Beauty with Marie Howe and Ellen Bass \nFrom the organizers: \n“If you want to encounter more truth in your poems\, to express it in the most beautiful way possible\, to craft poems that reflect the inextricable marriage of truth and beauty\, love and death\, the luminous and the ordinary\, please join us for this special workshop. \nWe will elude and distract the censors that silence or limit us. We’ll approach our experience from new angles to find the poem within the story. We’ll question the stories we think are true and experience the power of not-knowing and discovery. \nWe will write poems\, share our writing\, and hear what our work touches in others. We’ll also read model poems by contemporary poets and discuss aspects of the craft. But mainly this will be a writing retreat—time to explore and create in a supportive community. Though the focus is on poetry\, prose writers who want to enrich their language will find it a fertile environment.” \nRegister here: https://www.ellenbass.com/events/truth-and-beauty-online-july-august-2024/
