SUMMARY:Ledbury Poetry Festival presents Valzhyna Mort and Victoria Chang\, chaired by Neil Astley
DESCRIPTION:Ledbury Poetry Festival presents Valzhyna Mort and Victoria Chang\, chaired by Neil Astley\, on July 2\, 2021 from 6 to 7 p.m. (BST); 10 to 11 a.m. (PDT); noon to 1 p.m. (CDT); 1 to 2 p.m. (EDT). \nFrom the organizers: \nAfter her mother died\, poet Victoria Chang refused to write elegies. Rather\, she distilled her grief during a feverish two weeks by writing scores of poetic obituaries for all she lost in the world. In Obit\, longlisted for the 2020 National Book Award in Poetry\, Chang writes of “the way memory gets up after someone has died and starts walking.” These poems reinvent the form of newspaper obituary to both name what has died (“civility\,” “language\,” “the future\,” “Mother’s blue dress”) and the cultural impact of death on the living. \nIn her book of letters to the dead\, the prize-winning poet Valzhyna Mort relearns how to mourn those erased by violent history. With shocking\, unforgettable lyric force\, Valzhyna Mort’s Music for the Dead and Resurrected confronts the legacy of violent death in one family in Belarus. In these letters to the dead\, the poet asks: How do we mourn after a century of propaganda? Can private stories challenge the collective power of Soviet and American historical mythology? \nRegister here: https://www.poetry-festival.co.uk/events/valzhyna-mort-and-victoria-chang/

SUMMARY:West Cork Literary Festival presents Experiments in Empathy: Ellen Bass & Tom Moore
DESCRIPTION:West Cork Literary Festival presents Experiments in Empathy: Ellen Bass & Tom Moore\, on July 15 at 8 p.m. (GMT+1) (12 p.m. PDT). \nFrom the organizers: \nBut sometimes it’s too much to ask a person to inhabit the strange region of a foreign heart\n–‘Experiment in Empathy’ by Ellen Bass\, from Indigo (2020) \nLater that afternoon\, lonely and bored\, you thought you’d found the sweetness in humankind\n—‘Lab Rat’ by Tom Moore\, from Brother Adam (2020) \nPoetry has long been the bedfellow of beauty\, but how do the author and reader enter the world of the rat\, the tumour\, the criminal? In a society that has kept acutely separate this past year\, how does poetry narrow the gap between what we know and what we don’t? What does death feel like to the oyster\, desire to the celibate\, teeth to the apple? \nJoin us for this exploration of empathy\, nature and science with poets Ellen Bass\, Tom Moore and editor and criminologist\, Sarah Byrne. Ellen and Tom will read from their respective 2020 collections\, Indigo (Copper Canyon Press) and Brother Adam (Well Review Editions). \nRegister here: https://www.westcorkmusic.ie/events/2021/experiments-in-empathy-ellen-bass-tom-moore/

SUMMARY:Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown presents Vision & Revision: A Poetry Workshop - LIVE with Erin Belieu
DESCRIPTION:Fine Arts Work Center in Province Town\, July 19 to July 23 at 10 AM – 12 PM EDT\, presents Vision & Revision: A Poetry Workshop – LIVE with Erin Belieu \nFrom the organizers: \nIn this workshop\, you will decide if you’re more interested in generating new work or in sharing previously drafted work with the group (or some combination of both). I will bring in poems every day as models of various craft elements for our consideration\, and I will conclude each class by offering you a generative exercise that you may wish to work on throughout your time at the conference. It’s entirely your choice. Because no one size fits all\, my goal is to meet you where you’re presently at with your poetic process\, and to offer you the craft skills to keep you generating and revising your poems on your own\, outside of a workshop atmosphere. \nRegister here: https://fawc.org/24-pearlstreet-payment/?nid=4641

SUMMARY:The Life of Poetry: An Online Workshop with Ellen Bass & Frank X. Gaspar
DESCRIPTION:The Life of Poetry: An Online Workshop\, August 2-6\,  with Ellen Bass & Frank X. Gaspar \nFrom the organizers: \nIf you want to write images like that “glint of light on broken glass”—precise\, clear\, and immediately arresting—please join Ellen Bass and Frank X. Gaspar at the online The Life of Poetry Workshop. We’ll craft poems that combine compelling detail with complex thought to create work that is more powerful\, authentic\, courageous and memorable than you’ve ever written before. \nWe will take risks\, summoning the courage to go over\, under or around the censors that silence 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 explore 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.

SUMMARY:Brooklyn Poets presents Craft Lab: Nonsense and Senselessness with Jericho Brown
DESCRIPTION:Brooklyn Poets presents Nonsense and Senselessness\, a Craft Lab with Jericho Brown\, on August 15 from 4 to 7 p.m. EDT online via Zoom. \nFrom the organizers: \nFormer Poet Laureate Rita Dove says that “poetry is language at its most distilled and most powerful.” Yet many readers still struggle to understand the meanings of poems. In this craft lab\, we’ll dive into what’s going on when we read a poem and think\, “That doesn’t make sense.” Looking at examples of sense and nonsense in the work of several poets\, we’ll explore the different techniques poets use to balance meaning and mystery\, and we’ll generate new work together through a set of unconventional exercises\, drawing on the themes of sense and nonsense\, engendering new ideas about writing. As there is a profound relationship between reading poetry and writing it\, together we’ll read\, discuss\, and even recite the work of several poets whose examples might lead us to a further honing of our craft. \nAll participants will have access to a cloud recording of the craft lab for one month afterward. \nCraft Lab Details \n\nProfessor: Jericho Brown\nDate: Sunday\, August 15\nTime: 4–7 PM (EDT)\nLocation: online via Zoom\nCost: $125\nEarlybird discount: $15 off through SUN\, AUGUST 8\nDeadline for financial aid: FRI\, AUGUST 13\n\nJericho Brown is the recipient of a Whiting Writers’ Award and fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation\, the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University\, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
