SUMMARY:50th Anniversary Reading with Jericho Brown\, Paisley Rekdal\, and Arthur Sze
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Copper Canyon Press and Lannan Foundation  \nThe Lensic Performing Arts Center \n211 W. San Francisco Street\nSanta Fe\, New Mexico 87501\n \n$8 Adult / $5 Senior and Student\nMore information at The Lensic\n \n \nSome of the most important poets writing today come together at the Lensic and via Livestream to celebrate two institutions that have had an outsized role in sustaining the artform for more than half a century: Copper Canyon Press and Lannan Foundation. Marking Copper Canyon Press’s 50th anniversary as an independent publisher dedicated to poetry\, this reading by Pulitzer Prize winners and Poets Laureate testifies to poetry’s remarkable adaptability. Jericho Brown will deliver innovative poetic forms that express the pain—and beauty—of Black and queer life. And Paisley Rekdal will present hybrid text-and-media works that reexamine the history of the West through the stories of the laborers who built it.  \nNational Book Award winner and longtime Santa Fe resident Arthur Sze will open the event with a discussion of the history of Lannan Foundation and Copper Canyon Press and their importance to American literature. Copper Canyon Executive Editor Michael Wiegers will then introduce the readers\, joining all the participants afterward in a closing conversation about poetry’s continued importance as we face the future.  \nThis event will also be livestreamed. \nParticipant Bios: \n“By some literary magic―no\, it’s precision\, and Brown manages to bestow upon even the most public of subjects the most intimate and personal stakes.”—NPR \nJericho Brown is the author of three collections of poems\, most recently The Tradition\, which won the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry and was a finalist for the National Book Award. He is the recipient of several fellowships from institutions such as the Guggenheim and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University\, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Brown is currently the Charles Howard Candler Professor of English and Creative Writing.  \n“Rekdal is a poet of observation and history. . . . She revels in detail but writes vast\, moral poems that help us live in a world of contraries. . . .  These are some of the best lyric poems being written today.”—Los Angeles Times \nPaisley Rekdal is the author of three works of nonfiction and several collections of poetry\, most recently a poetry and multimedia work called West: A Translation\, which was recently longlisted for the 2023 National Book Award. She is the recipient of fellowships and grants from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and the Academy of American Poets\, among others. She is Distinguished Professor at the University of Utah\, where she directs the American West Center\, and she has served as Utah’s state Poet Laureate. \n“Sze is simultaneously the microscope and telescope of the poetry world. And more. To truly attend to these poems is to begin to feel like you have been opened to a kaleidoscopic experience of the cosmos\, a multisensual one whose kinetic foci gather moments across time and space\, word and world.”—Terrain \nArthur Sze has published eleven books of poetry\, including Sight Lines\, which won the National Book Award\, Compass Rose\, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize\, and\, most recently\, The Glass Constellation: New and Collected Poems. Sze is the recipient of many honors\, including the 2022 Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize for Lifetime Achievement from the Poetry Foundation\, a Lannan Literary Award\, fellowships from the Guggenheim and National Endowment for the Arts fellowships\, and grants from the Witter Bynner Foundation for Poetry. A Chancellor Emeritus at the Academy of American Poets and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, he is a professor emeritus at the Institute of American Indian Arts and was the first Poet Laureate of Santa Fe. His latest work\, The Silk Dragon II: Translations of Chinese Poetry\, will be published by Copper Canyon in 2024. \n“Copper Canyon Press may be a little nonprofit publisher far from New York\, but over the last 50 years\, its editors in Port Townsend\, Washington\, have shaped and elevated American poetry.”—Washington Post \nMichael Wiegers has been editing books for Copper Canyon Press since 1993\, and currently serves as the Press’s Executive Editor/Editor in Chief. Most recently\, he edited two anthologies of Copper Canyon Press poetry\, both published this year: A House Called Tomorrow: 50 Years of Poetry and Come Shining: More Poems and Stories from Fifty Years of Copper Canyon Press. He is also the poetry editor of Narrative magazine and edited What About This: The Collected Poems of Frank Stanford\, which was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award\, and The Essential W.S. Merwin. He is currently at work on a book about the poet W.S. Merwin and serves as a trustee for the Merwin Conservancy. \nRegister for the livestream here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_G3l0TwKcSPeTse-Up6eg7w#/registration \n  \n*UPDATE (October 05)*: We regret that Jorie Graham is no longer able to participate in this event\, as originally listed.

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/
