SUMMARY:Community of Writers Poetry Program taught by Victoria Chang\, Kazim Ali\, Forrest Gander\, Carmen Giménez\, Brenda Hillman\, and Evie Shockley
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \n“The Poetry Program at the Community of Writers is founded on the belief that when poets gather in a community to write new poems\, each poet may well break through old habits and write something stronger and truer than before. To help this happen we work together to create an atmosphere in which everyone might feel free to try anything. In the mornings we meet in workshops to read to each other the work of the previous twenty-four hours; each participant also has an opportunity to work with each staff poet. In the late afternoons we gather for a conversation about some aspect of craft. On several afternoons staff poets hold brief individual conferences. Director: Brenda Hillman. \nTuition for the Poetry Program is $1450 and includes six evening meals. Financial aid is available; requests for our limited financial aid can be made in the Application Form. Admissions are based on submitted manuscripts. Please Note: Tuition does not include housing costs. See Housing and Meals. See Fees & Deadlines\, below. \nNote: We make no admissions decisions before all the submissions have been read and evaluated. The Application Form link is at the bottom of the page. \nDeadline for receipt of application/submission is March 28\, 2023.”  \nApply here: https://communityofwriters.org/workshops/poetry-application/

DESCRIPTION:From the organizers:  \n“This free\, participatory event (taking place via Zoom) features Christopher Soto\, one of our favorite poets\, leading an intimate\, virtual group thinking-and-reading-through of “tercer poema de amor / Third Poem of Love” by Roque Dalton.

SUMMARY:Natalie Diaz and Adam Falk at Phi Beta Kappa Literary Exercises
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \n“THE POET AND ORATOR at the 2023 Phi Beta Kappa Literary Exercises—the traditional\, academic opening event of Harvard’s Commencement-week celebrations—will be Natalie Diaz and Adam Falk\, Ph.D. ’91. They are scheduled to appear on Tuesday morning\, May 23\, in Sanders Theatre. \nThe Literary Exercises (this will be the 231st iteration) celebrate undergraduate academic excellence\, recognize outstanding students’ nominees for formative teaching\, and typically nod toward the arts (the poet) and the wider society (the orator). They thus bridge the academic labors leading up to graduation\, and the celebratory hoopla to follow two days later\, in Tercentenary Theatre.”

SUMMARY:Poetry and the Archives of History with Paisley Rekdal
DESCRIPTION:From The Bay Area Book Festival:  \n“In this session\, we’ll hear from those who instead look at archives and envision poetry. In West: A Translation\, poet Paisley Rekdal vividly documents how the heroic narrative of the transcontinental railroad is intertwined with the history of Chinese exclusion. We’ll also hear from poet Anthony Cody whose collection Borderland Apocrypha\, longlisted for PEN America’s Jean Stein Book Award\, blends centers on the ongoing legacy of trauma along the US–Mexico border after the end of the Mexican–American War.   \nLeading this conversation through past and present is poet Tess Taylor\, whose own Last West: Roadsongs for Dorothea Lange collages Lange’s photographs and journals with Taylor’s poetry.” \nThis event will take place Saturday May 6th from 1:00–2:00pm PDT and is free to the public.  \n

SUMMARY:Albertine Bookstore Presents A Reading with John Freeman\, Alex Dimitrov\, and Stéphane Bouquet
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \n“Join poets Alex Dimitrov\, John Freeman\, and Stéphane Bouquet for a night of poetry readings of their respective work\, Love and Other Poems (Copper Canyon)\, Wind\, Trees (Copper Canyon)\, and Common Life (trans. by Lindsay Turner\, Nightboat). This event will be moderated by Lindsay Turner. \nAt a moment at which the fabric of everyday social life is increasingly threatened across the globe\, Dimitrov\, Freeman\, and Boquet’s poetry invites us to join a two-way conversation with the world. On one hand\, their poetry acknowledges the world’s past and present existence by way of its natural and mineral elements\, by way of encounters\, sensations and a multitude of unspectacular events. And on the other hand\, their poems orient us toward the future\, helping us welcome it and question it. It is at this junction of different times that they\, as poets\, stand as focal points that absorb our world\, give it a shape and invite us to ponder: what does it mean to inhabit the world together today? \nIn English. Free with RSVP.” \nRSVP here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/what-there-is-left-to-say-stephane-bouquet-alex-dimitrov-john-freeman-tickets-565663955117

SUMMARY:Harry Ransom Center presents Victoria Chang: Author Reading and Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:Harry Ransom Center presents Victoria Chang: Author Reading and Book Signing\, 6 PM CST \nFrom the organizers: \nPoet\, writer\, and editor Victoria Chang celebrates her most recent book of poetry\, The Trees Witness Everything\, published by Copper Canyon Press and Corsair Books in the U.K. in 2022\, with this reading and a book signing at the Ransom Center. The book was named one of the Best Books of 2022 by The New Yorker and The Guardian. In the book\, Chang reinvigorates language by way of concentration\, using constraint to illuminate and free the wild interior. Largely composed in various Japanese syllabic forms called “wakas\,” each poem is shaped by pattern and count. \nThis highly original work innovates inside the lineage of great poets including W.S. Merwin\, whose poem titles are repurposed as frames and mirrors for the text\, stitching past and present in complex dialogue. Chang depicts the smooth\, melancholic isolation of the mind while reaching outward to name—with reverence\, economy\, and whimsy—the ache of wanting\, the hawk and its shadow\, our human urge to hide the minute beneath the light. \nMore information will appear here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/victoria-chang-author-reading-and-book-signing-tickets-510908449927?fbclid=IwAR30oDL9yim6y6qFQ7IGanjVQq_4wPGQ7QztFazKljf7FBA2V66QYf4aIRY
