SUMMARY:Decatur Book Festival presents Jericho Brown
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers:  \nThe Atlanta Journal-Constitution Decatur Book Festival presented by Emory University is proud to feature 2020 Pulitzer Prize winner Jericho Brown as this year’s Keynote speaker. In conversation with festival board president\, Mathwon Howard\, Brown will discuss his most recent book\, The Tradition\, that details the normalization of evil and its history at the intersection of the past and the personal. As in much of his poetry\, Brown highlights both the broad and intimate\, and at their very core a distillation of the incredibly human. Brown makes mythical pastorals to question the terrors to which we’ve become accustomed\, and to celebrate how we survive. Join us for a reading and discussion with one of the greatest poets of our time\, and an integral member of the Emory community.  \nRegister here: https://decaturbookfestival.com/session/keynote-jericho-brown/ \nJoin here: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/ajc-dbf-2020-keynote-jericho-brown

SUMMARY:Elliott Bay Book Company presents Aimee Nezhukumatathil and John Freeman
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \n“If things go as we imagine this might\, this evening’s program will feature Aimee Nezhukumatathil\, one of the most vital poets of her generation\, doing this virtual reading program with her first book of prose\, the dazzling\, animated book that is World of Wonders: In Praise of Fireflies\, Whale Sharks\, and Other Astonishments (Milkweed).  She\, presumably at home in Mississippi\, will be joined by John Freeman\, whom we think will be linked in from London. Most known for extraordinary work as an editor and essayist\, he is also becoming increasingly recognized as a poet of note. Copper Canyon Press\, which now also publishes Aimee Nezhukumatathil’s poetry (Oceanic)\, has just published John Freeman’s second collection\, The Park\, following his earlier Maps. This program should feature strong talk about the planet\, and some excellent poetry.” \nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/aimee-nezukhumatathil-and-john-freeman-tickets-118411049637

DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \n“Online Class for high school students\, ages 15-18 \nOur poems have the power to reflect us. We may look into the mirror to see ourselves in plain sight. But what about windows that invite our own reflections inside another space?\n\nThe self\, looking into a room. The self\, staring outside at a whole landscape. The self\, catching its reflection inside a car window while turning around the corner. Depending on where you stand\, poetry invites the hidden self. In this class we will read and write poems that go inward. We will address ourselves and focus on the unknowns that may be buried inside of us. \nClass meets Sundays: November 8 and 15.” \nRegister here: https://www.92y.org/class/young-writers-workshop-monica-sok

SUMMARY:The Black Matter Is Life: Poetry for Engagement and Overcoming - Love\, Love\, Love\, feat. Jericho Brown
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \n“Join us this winter for a virtual series of public conversations entitled\, The Black Matter is Life: Poetry for Engagement and Overcoming. In this series\, we will explore and discuss the rich tradition and innovation found in African American poetry. \n\nPoetry is a powerful art form\, one that offers profound insights into what it means to be human. Through the creative\, succinct\, and melodious use of language\, poets render into words their joys\, their challenges\, their vulnerabilities\, and their discoveries\, thus providing shape and meaning to the human connection and shared emotional experience. \nIn the wake of our nation’s current unrest\, this program is designed to build bridges across the racial divide by introducing the audience to the writings of a number of African American poets whose work has shone a light on a rich cultural heritage that has often gone unexplored. This program asks the audience to consider how African American poetry provides tools for healing our nation’s deep racial wounds. \n\nTo begin this exploration of the vast diversity within African American poetic tradition\, UNH professors Reginald Wilburn and Dennis Britton will facilitate three online conversations. Each discussion deconstructs four poems grouped by themes. Conversations will center these poems within the context of the African American literary tradition\, their cultural heritage\, the traditions they encompassed\, and the relevance this tradition has to us today. The series will also explore the question\, ‘Why does African American Poetry matter?'” \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUqdu-vqz8oG9MzJH1DYmxo_GMc5qQrRn7c
