SUMMARY:The Beautiful Witness We Bear: Writer to Writer featuring Jericho Brown and Nikki Finney
DESCRIPTION:The Bay Area Book Festival presents Jericho Brown and Nikki Finney in conversation\, moderated by Ismail Muhammad\, reviews editor for The Believer and board member at the National Book Critics Circle. \nRegister to view the livestream here: https://baybookfest.secure.force.com/ticket/#sections_a0F3m00000ycHwPEAU \nFrom the event website:  \n“In our Writer to Writer series\, two writers who are fans of each other’s work come together for a conversation. This is one you’ll want to revisit again and again. National Book Award winner Nikky Finney\, whose latest poetry collection is 2020’s Love Child’s Hotbed of Occasional Poetry\, aims for a sweet spot in her poems\, an intersection “where the beautifully said thing meets the really difficult to say thing.” It’s a poetic crossroads that Jericho Brown\, winner of the 2020 Pulitzer Prize in Poetry for The Tradition\, can attest to: “Nikky Finney\,” Jericho has written\, “manipulates into music the words readers use to see\, hear\, and understand a soul’s history.”  Jericho’s poems occupy a similar place between transcendence and unflinching\, grounded witness. As Claudia Rankine has said\, “To read Jericho Brown’s poems is to encounter devastating genius.” \nBoth Jericho and Nikky are known for their powerfully resonant presence as well as the brilliance of their work. Nikky’s 2011 National Book Award acceptance speech\, which started with the sentence “We begin with history: the slave codes of South Carolina\, 1739\,” moved viewers to tears and was called “the best acceptance speech for anything that I’ve ever heard in my life” by host John Lithgow. Jericho’s “irreverent\, magnetic presence is beloved in the worlds of poetry and education” (Krista Tippet\, OnBeing). Come witness a sure-to-be-unforgettable conversation between two of poetry’s most profound and affecting voices\, witnesses\, and visionaries.”

SUMMARY:Windows/Shababeek: A Bilingual Virtual Reading featuring Philip Metres
DESCRIPTION:The Arab American History Museum presents a Sukoon bilingual live reading around the theme of Windows/Shababeek\, curated and hosted by Sukoon founding editor Rewa Zeinati\, and featuring a fabulous lineup of Arab writers and poets\, including: Zeyn Joukhadar\, Zeina Hashem Beck\, Philip Metres\, George Abraham\, Sahar Mustafa\, Zeina Azzam (Arabic) and Farah Chamma (Arabic). \nAAHM says: “We’ve spent the last several weeks observing life go back and forth to stillness\, isolation\, fear or healing\, all through the windows of our homes (if we are privileged enough to have them). We’ve pondered other people’s lives existing behind their own windows. What joy or confusion or horror was multiplied? Join us for this bilingual poetry and fiction virtual live reading in collaboration with Sukoon\, exploring—in the most broad or intimate sense—the various and infinite ways we interpret the barriers\, filters or open fields we call “windows” and how these inform the light and shadows we allow or dissipate.” \nThis virtual reading will be streamed live on AANM’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/events/919406768501679/

SUMMARY:Bookshop.org presents Ellen Bass and Toi Derricotte
DESCRIPTION:From the organizer: \nPlease join us for a poetry reading with Toi Derricotte and Ellen Bass. Toi and Ellen are dear friends and have shared their poetry for many years. They are now coming together for this special reading of work from their new books. Of Toi Derricotte’s most recent book\, “I”:New and Selected Poems\, Terrance Hayes writes: “What song do you sing when you sing ‘so low we can’t hear you?’ Toi Derricotte makes poetry of that song. It rises from ‘the houses where you hear the least squealing\,’ it is ‘quieter than blossoms & near invisible.’ It is filled with witness and love for our literal and literary families. The tough and tender intimacies of human bonds bind these marvelous new and selected poems.” Of Ellen Bass’ new book\, Indigo\, Mark Doty writes: “’You may have to break/ your heart\,’ writes Ellen Bass\, ‘but it isn’t nothing/ to know even one moment alive.’ That complex tenant of faith underlies every poem in this superb book\, an inquiry into what it is to be present in the physical world\, in time\, a body in the world of bodies. Bass’s poems are surprising\, tender\, hungry and wide awake\, fearless in their attention to every nuance of feeling. I love this book wholeheartedly.”  \nRegister here: https://mailchi.mp/ellenbass/toiderricotte

SUMMARY:Living Room Craft Talk with Ellen Bass I
DESCRIPTION:From Ellen Bass: \n“If you want to learn more about the strategies that you can employ to write poems that are more vivid\, arresting\, meaningful and complex\, please join Ellen Bass for this craft talk series on Fridays: July 10\, 17\, 24\, 31\, August 7 & 14 at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET. \nEllen will be presenting practical teachings that you’ll be able to put to use at whatever stage of development you’re at—whether you’re just beginning or are an experienced and published poet.

SUMMARY:Hugo House presents: From Detail to Discovery with Ellen Bass
DESCRIPTION:From Hugo House and Ellen Bass: \n“Tolstoy said\, ‘Art is transferring feeling from one heart to another. And E.L. Doctorow said\, ‘Good writing is supposed to evoke sensation in the reader—not the fact that it is raining\, but the feeling of being rained upon.’ But how do we go about this work of transferring feeling? We create a physical and emotional impact through vivid detail\, precise description\, metaphor\, and image. By describing what we see\, we understand more\, we feel more. And that process of seeing\, understanding\, feeling\, and epiphany then takes place in the reader as well. In this workshop we’ll look at exemplary poems and learn (and try out) practical strategies for including these elements in our own writing.” \nIncludes a writing break from 11:30 am–2 pm.

SUMMARY:The Autry presents Saad Nizhóní (Beautiful Words) with Sherwin Bitsui and Tacey M. Atstitty
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers:  \n“Join the Autry and Navajo multimedia documentarian Pamela J. Peters as she introduces two evenings featuring remarkable Navajo poets whose beautiful words integrate Diné history\, language and culture. This Zoom event will showcase the talents of Sherwin Bitsui and Tacey M. Atstitty on July 16\, and will conclude with readings from Jake Skeet and Rowie Shebala on July 23. \nNavajos have all been deeply impacted\, either directly or indirectly through our kinship ties\, by COVID-19. Most news reporting reveals the tragic impact of COVID-19 on the Navajo reservation\, yet we rarely hear from the people directly impacted. These readings offers an opportunity to hear from Navajo people who have been affected by the virus. Their distinctive poetry illustrates the perseverance of the People\, the strong connections individuals have to their homeland\, and the language and traditional life of the Diné. \nThis Zoom event will not only showcase four Navajo poets\, but will also provide an opportunity to donate to the Utah Navajo COVID-19 Relief Program. This program was created under the Utah Navajo Health system to provide food and supplies to elders. Program coordinator Sahar Khadjenoury will describe the organization’s efforts\, provide information on making donations\, and explain how each donation helps the surrounding tribal communities.” \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0kdO6tpjMrE9cDt-6Up5www-5m3LHYVSN2

DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \n“As part of the Inkubator Conference\, Literary Cleveland presents Poetry and Protest\, a panel discussion with Jericho Brown\, Philip Metres\, and Barbara Jane Reyes. \nWe’re living through a sudden resurgence of the power of protest—from Black Lives Matter marches to the pandemic statehouse protests. The word ‘protest’ comes from the Latin\, meaning to testify to something publicly. Usually\, protests occur as a way of raising a voice against injustice\, or to support those unjustly treated. How do poets and writers approach the question of testifying publicly\, standing with the unjustly treated? Poets Jericho Brown\, Philip Metres\, and Barbara Jane Reyes will read poems (their own and others’) and talk about the role of poetry in social movements for change\, and poetry as protest.” \nRegister here: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/Inkubator-Poetry-and-Protest/register

SUMMARY:A Wild and Precious Life Series: A Reading with Victoria Chang\, Roberto Carlos Garcia\, Marilyn Nelson\, and Ruben Quesada
DESCRIPTION:Join Victoria Chang\, Roberto Carlos Garcia\, Marilyn Nelson\, and Ruben Quesada for a reading on July 22. From the organizer of Wild and Precious Life Series\, Dustin Brookshire:  \nSipping a beverage at your local coffee shop. Eating a slice a pizza at your favorite pizzeria. Happy hour with friends. Going to the gym. Reading poetry in the park. Sitting in the audience of a poetry reading. High-fives. Handshakes. Hugs. COVID-19 has drastically changed how we live our lives\, forcing us to forego what was second nature. In these uncertain times\, the words of Mary Oliver demand that we answer the question: \nTell me\, what is it you plan to do\nwith your one wild and precious life?\n– “The Summer Day” \nPoetry comforts\, inspires\, heals\, is a catalyst for change\, and so much more. Now\, maybe more than ever\, poets need a space to share their art\, and poetry lovers need a space to receive the poet’s art. A Wild & Precious Life Series is a virtual poetry reading series created to be that space. \nReadings will take place via Zoom with “doors” opening at 7pm EST and readings starting at 7:30pm EST. \nJoin here: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89325735262

SUMMARY:[Rescheduled] Bookshop.org presents Ellen Bass and Toi Derricotte
DESCRIPTION:From the organizer: \nPlease join us for a poetry reading with Toi Derricotte and Ellen Bass. Toi and Ellen are dear friends and have shared their poetry for many years. They are now coming together for this special reading of work from their new books. Of Toi Derricotte’s most recent book\, “I”:New and Selected Poems\, Terrance Hayes writes: “What song do you sing when you sing ‘so low we can’t hear you?’ Toi Derricotte makes poetry of that song. It rises from ‘the houses where you hear the least squealing\,’ it is ‘quieter than blossoms & near invisible.’ It is filled with witness and love for our literal and literary families. The tough and tender intimacies of human bonds bind these marvelous new and selected poems.” Of Ellen Bass’ new book\, Indigo\, Mark Doty writes: “’You may have to break/ your heart\,’ writes Ellen Bass\, ‘but it isn’t nothing/ to know even one moment alive.’ That complex tenant of faith underlies every poem in this superb book\, an inquiry into what it is to be present in the physical world\, in time\, a body in the world of bodies. Bass’s poems are surprising\, tender\, hungry and wide awake\, fearless in their attention to every nuance of feeling. I love this book wholeheartedly.”  \nRegister here: https://mailchi.mp/ellenbass/toiderricotte
