SUMMARY:Comet of Stillness: Taught By Victoria Chang and Matthew Zapruder
DESCRIPTION:Victoria Chang and Matthew Zapruder will be teaching a class called Comet of Stillness: A five-week short course on the Poetry of W.S. Merwin. The course will meet on Sundays from January 22 – February 19\, 2023. \nEarly Bird Tuition (before January 12\, 2023): $270. \nStandard Tuition (After January 12\, 2023): $300. \nFinancial Aid is available \nFrom the organizers: \nW.S. Merwin’s poetry was visionary\, ecological\, anti-war\, and humanist\, and exhibits a clarity and strangeness that continues to exert a profound influence on contemporary American poetry. The goal of these five sessions is to dive deeply into this extraordinary poet and his body of work. Across five sessions\, poets Victoria Chang and Matthew Zapruder will facilitate close-readings of key poems\, and will situate the poems\, and the poet\, in their historical contexts. The course will explore Merwin’s formal innovations\, his thematic concerns\, and his development as a poet from his earliest work to his final poems. Chang and Zapruder will introduce\, and talk with\, key figures from his literary life\, including Merwin’s long-time editor at Copper Canyon Press\, Michael Wiegers. \n \nIn addition to course meetings\, Chang and Zapruder will provide additional reading materials. Each session will begin with an hour of discussion\, including background and close readings\, followed by a ten-minute break. The session will then reconvene for a second hour in which Chang and Zapruder will discuss thoughts from the chat\, answer questions\, and offer further insights. Each session will end with an optional poetry writing prompt based on Merwin’s poetry. \n \nDates/Times:  Sundays\, January 22 – February 19\, 2023  4:00-6:00 PM (Pacific) on Zoom \n \nEarly Bird Tuition (before January 12\, 2023): $270. \nStandard Tuition (After January 12\, 2023):  $300. \nFinancial aid is available. Please contact us if needed. \n  \nWhat to Expect: \nFive\, two-hour weekly sessions online with assigned reading of poems and supplemental material.\nIn the first sixty or seventy minutes of each session\, Victoria Chang and Mathew Zapruder will explore and supply background on the previously assigned poems.\nIn the second hour\, we will reconvene in our large group for conversation and questions.\nParticipant questions and comments may be addressed using Vimeo’s chat feature during the second hour\, though questions can be posted in the chat throughout the session.\nOptional small (8-10 person) discussion groups will be available to those with the energy and interest after the formal session is over.\nOptional writing prompts based on Merwin’s poems will be provided.\nEach participant will be given a seat on a dedicated SLACK channel\, where writing prompt responses and extracurricular discussion can occur.\nThis course will be presented live online on the Vimeo platform.\nThese sessions will be recorded\, and will be available for later viewing by registered participants for 30 days following the final session.\nTEXT:\nFor this course\, our text will be The Essential W.S. Merwin; handouts for each session will be posted online. \nParticipants who don’t own the text are asked to purchase and explore it\, if possible\, before January 22. \nThe Essential W.S. Merwin (Copper Canyon Press) \nTHE SHORT COURSE PLAN: \nSession 1 (Jan. 22): Introduction and early forms \nSession 2 (Jan. 29): The Lice: war and the environment \nSession 3 (Feb 5): Middle Period: intellect\, resistance\, and formal innovation \nSession 4 (Feb. 12): The Vixen: time and ghosts \nSession 5 (Feb 19): Late poems and Merwin’s poetic legacy \nOnline\, and year-round\, The Writers’ Annex is composed of short courses\, seminars\, workshops\, and more. Our vision is to bring the creative insight and experience of our staff poets and prose writers to our community in all seasons\, not just in the summertime\, and not just here in our Valley. Our online offerings will address such topics as eco-poetics\, translation\, and generative sessions. Some will be one or two days\, some will be weekend intensives\, and some will meet weekly for a month or two. In addition\, we hope these offerings will help offset the tremendous expenses we incur each summer bringing excellent writers of poetry and prose to the Valley regardless of their ability to pay. \n

SUMMARY:John Freeman and Ha Jin at Harvard Bookstore
DESCRIPTION:John Freeman and Ha Jin will read at Harvard Bookstore on Tuesday December 13th at 7 PM ET.  \nFrom the organizers: \nHarvard Book Store welcomes JOHN FREEMAN—author and executive editor at Alfred A. Knopf—and award-winning author HA JIN for an evening of poetry and eggnog\, featuring readings from Wind\, Trees and The Banished Immortal: A Life of Li Bai (Li Po). \nHarvard Book Store is excited to be back to in-person programming. To ensure the safety and comfort of everyone in attendance\, the following Covid-19 safety protocols will be in place at all of our Harvard Book Store events until further notice: \n\nFace coverings are required of all staff and attendees when inside the store. Masks must snugly cover nose and mouth.\n\nAbout Wind\, Trees\nIn Wind\, Trees\, John Freeman presents a meditation on power and loss\, change and adaptation. What can the trees teach us about inhabiting space together? What might we gain if we admit we do not control the wind\, and cannot possibly carry all we’ve been handed? Offering a stark moral critique of pandemic self-preservation—as “justifications grew / with greed like vines / up the side of a tree / taking everything”—Wind\, Trees joins the ranks of politically urgent yet timeless collections like The Lice by W.S. Merwin. Through narrative lyric and metaphysical pulse\, meandering thought and punctuating quiet\, Freeman studies the devastating failings of humanity and the redemptive possibilities of love. \nAbout The Banished Immortal\nIn his own time (701–762)\, Li Bai’s poems—shaped by Daoist thought and characterized by their passion\, romance\, and lust for life—were never given their proper due by the official literary gatekeepers. Nonetheless\, his lines rang out on the lips of court entertainers\, tavern singers\, soldiers\, and writers throughout the Tang dynasty\, and his deep desire for a higher\, more perfect world gave rise to his nickname\, the Banished Immortal. Today\, Bai’s verses are still taught to China’s schoolchildren and recited at parties and toasts; they remain an inextricable part of the Chinese language. \nWith the instincts of a master novelist\, Ha Jin draws on a wide range of historical and literary sources to weave the great poet’s life story. He follows Bai from his origins on the western frontier to his ramblings travels as a young man\, which were filled with filled with striving but also with merry abandon\, as he raised cups of wine with friends and fellow poets. Ha Jin also takes us through the poet’s later years—in which he became swept up in a military rebellion that altered the course of China’s history—and the mysterious circumstances of his death\, which are surrounded by legend. \nThe Banished Immortal is an extraordinary portrait of a poet who both transcended his time and was shaped by it\, and whose ability to live\, love\, and mourn without reservation produced some of the most enduring verses.

SUMMARY:John Freeman\, Victoria Chang\, Peter Balakian\, and Victoria Redel on “Redemption\, Refuge\, and Release”
DESCRIPTION:Join John Freeman\, Victoria Chang\, Peter Balakian\, and Jennifer Redel for a panel discussion of “Redemption\, Refuge\, and Release\,” at the Miami Book Fair on Saturday November 19th at 12 PM ET.  \nFrom the Organizers:\nWhether meditating on the sensuality of fruits and vegetables\, the COVID-19 pandemic\, the trauma and memory of the Armenian genocide\, James Baldwin in France\, or Arshile Gorky in New York City\, Peter Balakian‘s layered\, elliptical language\, wired phrases\, and shifting tempos in No Sign engage both life’s harshness and beauty and define his inventive and distinctive style. In The Trees Witness Everything\, Victoria Chang turns to compact Japanese syllabic forms called “wakas\,” powerfully innovating on tradition while continuing her pursuit of one of life’s hardest questions: how to let go. What can the trees teach us about inhabiting space together? John Freeman studies the devastating failings of humanity and the redemptive possibilities of love in Wind\, Trees. And drawing from a long family history of flight and refuge to rewrite Eden\, the poems in Victoria Redel‘s Paradise interweave religion and myth\, personal lore and nation-building\, borders actual and imagined\, asking: What if what we fell from was never\, actually\, grace?

SUMMARY:John Freeman with Meng Jin at Portland Book Festival
DESCRIPTION:John Freeman will read and be in conversation with Meng Jim on November 5th at 5 pm PST at the Brunish Theater in Portland.  \nFrom the Organizers: \nPoet John Freeman and short story writer Meng Jin explore the isolation and search for connection of the past few years\, through the quarantines of the pandemic and the political division of the previous administration. Moderated by Mindy Nettifee. \nIn Wind\, Trees\, John Freeman presents a meditation on power and loss\, change and adaptation. What can the trees teach us about inhabiting space together? What might we gain if we admit we do not control the wind\, and cannot possibly carry all we’ve been handed? Offering a stark moral critique of pandemic self-preservation\, Wind\, Trees joins the ranks of politically urgent yet timeless collections like The Lice by W.S. Merwin. Through narrative lyric and metaphysical pulse\, meandering thought and punctuating quiet\, Freeman studies the devastating failings of humanity and the redemptive possibilities of love. \nWritten during the turbulent years of the Trump administration and the first year of the pandemic\, Meng Jin’s stories explore intimacy and isolation\, coming-of-age and coming to terms with the repercussions of past mistakes\, fraying relationships and surprising moments of connection. Moving between San Francisco and China\, and from unsparing realism to genre-bending delight\, Self-Portrait with Ghost considers what it means to live in an age of heightened self-consciousness\, seemingly endless access to knowledge\, and little actual power. \nPortland Book Festival General Admission Passes are required for entry into all events. Passes are $15 in advance and $25 day of Festival. Youth 17 & under\, or with a valid high school ID get in FREE. All full-priced General Admission Passes include a $5 book fair voucher and entry into Portland Art Museum. Passes admit attendees to the Festival; individual events are first-come\, first-served. More info here.

SUMMARY:Living Room Craft Talks presents The Fifth Series with Chris Abani and Ellen Bass
DESCRIPTION:Living Room Craft Talks presents The Fifth Series with Chris Abani and Ellen Bass \nFrom the Organizers: “The Modern Elegy. Guest Poet: Chris Abani\n \nNo one wants to write an elegy.\n            –Kevin Young \nThe elegy is a poem of necessity. It may have been the first poetic speech\, originating when our hunter-gatherer ancestors refused to leave their dead behind. The traditional elegy ritualizes grief\, gives it language\, and offers at least the beginnings of consolation. The modern elegy may do this as well\, but\, along with sorrow\, there are often more complicated feelings: anger\, conflict\, guilt\, and a resistance to solace. Elegies remember and celebrate our dead and make a space for them to live on the page. We’ll reflect on poems that approach the elegy from a wide range of experience and emotion and I’ll offer structures you can turn to when loss asks us to find words for the inexpressible.”

Knopf. His work includes the poetry collections Maps and The Park\, the book-length essay Dictionary of the Undoing\, and several anthologies\, among them Tales of Two Americas\, a volume on inequality in America\, Tales of Two Planets\, which examines the climate crisis globally\, and There’s a Revolution Outside\, My Love\, coedited by Tracy K. Smith\, a portrait of the United States on the cusp of revolution\, climate crisis\, and the upheavals of a pandemic. His work has been translated into over twenty languages\, and his poems have appeared in The New Yorker\, The Paris Review\, and ZYZZYVA. The former editor of Granta\, he teaches at NYU and hosts the California Book Club\, a monthly discussion of a book from California for Alta Journal. \nIn Wind\, Trees\, John Freeman presents a meditation on power and loss\, change and adaptation. What can the trees teach us about inhabiting space together? What might we gain if we admit we do not control the wind\, and cannot possibly carry all we’ve been handed? Offering a stark moral critique of pandemic self-preservation—as “justifications grew / with greed like vines / up the side of a tree / taking everything”—Wind\, Trees joins the ranks of politically urgent yet timeless collections like The Lice by W.S. Merwin. Through narrative lyric and metaphysical pulse\, meandering thought and punctuating quiet\, Freeman studies the devastating failings of humanity and the redemptive possibilities of love. \n  \nTayi Tibble (Te Whānau ā Apanui/Ngāti Porou) was born in 1995 and lives in Wellington\, New Zealand. In 2017\, she completed a master’s degree in creative writing from the International Institute of Modern Letters\, Victoria University of Wellington\, where she was the recipient of the Adam Foundation Prize in Creative Writing. Her second book of poetry\, Rangikura\, will be published in the United States in 2023. \nPoukahangatus\, the American debut of an acclaimed young poet as she explores her identity as a twenty-first-century Indigenous woman. Poem by poem\, Tibble carves out a bold new way of engaging history\, of straddling modernity and ancestry\, desire and exploitation \n  \nNatalie Shapero is the author\, most recently\, of the poetry collection Popular Longing. Her previous collections are Hard Child\, shortlisted for the International Griffin Poetry Prize\, and No Object\, winner of the Great Lakes College Association New Writers Award. Natalie’s writing has appeared in The Nation\, The New Yorker\, The New York Review of Books\, The Paris Review\, The New York Times Magazine\, and elsewhere. She teaches at UC Irvine. \nThe poems of Natalie Shapero’s third collection\, Popular Longing\, highlight the ever-increasing absurdity of our contemporary life. With her sharp\, sardonic wit\, Shapero deftly captures human meekness in all its forms: our senseless wars\, our inflated egos\, our constant deference to presumed higher powers―be they romantic partners\, employers\, institutions\, or gods. “Why even / look up\, when all we’ll see is people / looking down?” In a world where everyone has to answer to someone\, it seems no one is equipped to disrupt the status quo\, and how the most urgent topics of conversation can only be approached through refraction.

SUMMARY:Iowa City Book Festival presents Jennifer L. Knox @ Prairie Lights
DESCRIPTION:Jennifer L. Knox presents Crushing It at Prairie Lights. Part of the Iowa City Book Festival. From the organizers:\nThe poems in Jennifer Knox’s darkly imaginative collection\, Crushing It\, unearth epiphanies in an unbounded landscape of forms\, voices and subjects―from history to true crime to epidemiology―while exploring our tenuous connections and disconnections. From Merle Haggard lifting his head from a pile of cocaine to absurdist romps through an apocalypse where mushrooms learn to sing\, this versatile collection is brimming with dark humor and bright surprise. Alongside Knox’s distinctive surrealism\, Crushing It also reveals autobiography in poems about love\, family\, and adult ADHD\, and Knox’s empathetic depictions of the ego’s need to assert its precious\, singular “I” suggest that a self distinct from the hive\, the herd\, the flock\, is an illusion. With clear-eyed spirit\, Crushing It swallows all the world\, and then some. \nJennifer L. Knox is the author of four books of poems: Days of Shame & Failure (Bloof Books\, 2015)\, The Mystery of the Hidden Driveway (Bloof\, 2010)\, Drunk by Noon (Bloof\, 2007)\, and A Gringo Like Me (Soft Skull Press\, 2005\, Bloof\, 2007). Known for their dark\, imaginative humor\, her poems have appeared in publications such as The New Yorker\, The American Poetry Review\, Granta\, McSweeney’s\, four times in the Best American Poetry series\, and the 2022 Pushcart Prize: Best of the Small Presses anthology. Her nonfiction writing has appeared in The New York Times and The Washington Post. Jennifer grew up in Lancaster\, California—home to Captain Beefheart\, Frank Zappa\, and the Space Shuttle. She studied film and glassblowing at Alfred University\, then earned BA in English at the University of Iowa\, where she attended the undergraduate Writer’s Workshop. She earned her MFA from New York University. Her honors include three Milwaukee Poetry Slam champion titles and an Iowa Arts Council Fellowship for her crowdsourced poetry project\, Iowa Bird of Mouth. Jennifer lives in central Iowa\, where she teaches at Iowa State University and in a series of private poetry writing classes online.

SUMMARY:AT SKYLIGHT BOOKS: TANEUM BAMBRICK presents INTIMACIES\, RECEIVED with DOROTHY CHAN
DESCRIPTION:AT SKYLIGHT BOOKS: TANEUM BAMBRICK presents INTIMACIES\, RECEIVED with DOROTHY CHAN \nFrom the organizers: \n“In this astonishing second collection by Taneum Bambrick\, violence hides in the glint of the carving knife—every intimacy a shadow\, every memory a maze to navigate. Set primarily in rural Southern Spain\, Intimacies\, Received moves through streets and fields\, households and years\, following a survivor of sexual assault as she painstakingly reassembles a narrative of self. A brilliant storyteller\, Bambrick builds through palimpsest—layering vivid imagery to recall embodiment and dissociation\, illness and isolation\, queer female sexuality amidst acts of misogyny—utilizing varied forms including ekphrasis\, persona\, and a lyric essay. Ultimately\, Intimacies\, Received signals agency\, as trauma is held to the light and finally named. \nTaneum Bambrick is the author of Intimacies\, Received (Copper Canyon Press\, Sept 2022) and Vantage\, winner of the APR/Honickman First Book Award (American Poetry Review 2019). A 2020 Stegner Fellow at Stanford University\, she is currently a Dornsife Fellow in the PhD program at the University of Southern California. Her work appears in New Yorker\, The Nation\, Academy of American Poets\, PEN and elsewhere.  \nDorothy Chan (she/they) is the author of most recently\, BABE\, a book forthcoming with Diode Editions this Winter 2021\, in addition to Revenge of the Asian Woman (Diode Editions\, 2019)\, Attack of the Fifty-Foot Centerfold (Spork Press\, 2018)\, and Chinatown Sonnets (New Delta Review\, 2017). They were a 2020 and 2014 Ruth Lilly and Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Poetry Fellowship finalist\, a 2020 finalist for the Lambda Literary Award in Bisexual Poetry for Revenge of the Asian Woman\, and a 2019 recipient of the Philip Freund Prize in Creative Writing from Cornell University. Their work has appeared in POETRY\, The American Poetry Review\, Academy of American Poets\, and elsewhere. Chan is an Assistant Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire\, Editor Emeritus of Hobart\, Book Reviews Co-Editor of Pleiades\, and Co-Founder and Editor in Chief of Honey Literary Inc.\, a 501(c)(3) literary arts organization. Visit their website at dorothypoetry.com Chan received a PhD from Florida State University in 2019\, an MFA from Arizona State University in 2015\, and a BA from Cornell University in 2012.”
