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

SUMMARY:PEN America presents DREAMing Out Loud: Reading featuring Javier Zamora\, Karla Cornejo Villavicencio\, Sonia Guiñansaca\, Martyna Majok\, and Jenny Zhang
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers:  \nPEN America is proud to present a reading with the rising stars from DREAMing Out Loud\, our tuition-free workshop series for young undocumented writers in New York City. \nSince the program’s founding in 2016\, DREAMing Out Loud has served over 125 emerging writers. Our students are primarily first-generation immigrants who came to the United States as children. As rhetoric flies\, politics grind\, and heat increases along all our borders\, the experiences of these writers—who have risked their lives to cross land and oceans into the United States—must be heard. \nJoin us to celebrate the courageous new voices in this year’s anthology release with readings from our students and stories from our teaching artists Álvaro Enrigue\, Cherry Lou Sy\, and Hannah Kingsley-Ma\, and special guests Karla Cornejo Villavicencio (The Undocumented Americans\, 2020)\, Sonia Guiñansaca (Nostalgia & Borders\, 2016)\, Martyna Majok (Sanctuary City\, 2020)\, Javier Zamora (Unaccompanied\, 2017)\, and Jenny Zhang (My Baby First Birthday\, 2020). \nWe would love your help to make DREAMing Out Loud possible in 2021. To date\, the program has primarily been funded by a time-limited grant that ends this year. Public support is crucial for the program to continue offering workshops in 2021. \nThe suggested donation for entry is $5 for the general public\, and additional generosity is deeply appreciated. Students and their families receive free admission. Any donations are considered 100 percent tax-deductible and support DREAMing Out Loud’s mission to defend young undocumented writers and immigrants’ free expression at a time of unprecedented need. Here are some of features of the program that your donation could help us fund: \n\n$10 – a free anthology for a student writer\n$50 – a paid volunteer copyeditor\n$100 – lunch or dinner for students in one of our workshop sessions\n$150 – a guest speaker’s honorarium\n$200 – an hour of workshop facilitation\n$400 – a student stipend to offset costs of living while participating in the program\n$2\,000 – a teaching assistant’s stipend\n$3\,200 – a teaching artist’s stipend\n\nFollowing your registration\, you will be sent a link to the virtual reading via email within 24 hours of the event. If you are a student\, family member\, friend\, or institutional partner of DREAMing Out Loud\, please ignore the button below and sign up for your free ticket here. \nPlease contact Nicole Gervasio at ngervasio@pen.org for any additional questions or concerns. \nRegister here: https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/store/31525/alldonations/34031

SUMMARY:Living Room Craft Talk with Ellen Bass VI
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. Though these talks are focused on poetry\, prose writers are welcome too. If you write memoir or fiction\, you will find that this precise attention to language will enrich your work as well. \nThis week’s topic will be Discovery: The Heart of the Matter. \nEach talk will be an hour to hour and a half long and will include a discussion of exemplary poems that illustrate these aspects of the craft\, as well as practical guidance for how you might bring these elements into your own poems. The talk will be followed by a half an hour for questions.” \nRegister here: https://www.ellenbass.com/events/living-room-craft-talks/

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.

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
