SUMMARY:Home Poetry Workshop Series: The Magic and Uncertainty of Memory with Rachel McKibbens
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \n“HOME is a poetry reading\, open mic\, and workshop series led by Boston Poet Laureate Porsha Olayiwola. It consists of a featured reader and brief open mic every first Friday of the month\, followed by a writing workshop the following Saturday morning.”  \nThis workshop is led by Rachel McKibbens. \n“The magic and uncertainty of memory often gives way to the fantastic\, allowing our stories to inherit the dreamlike qualities of the subconscious. In this discussion\, we will explore how fragments and masks (in both language and persona) allow us to push art beyond the boundaries of truth\, permitting the core depths of ourselves to be revealed in their darkest\, most feral forms. By examining the work of contemporary poets and visual artists\, we will learn the importance of allowing the many versions of truth to push back against oppressive realities.” \nRegister here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfZuKPSS5Whb95wyA0yX_O3yVNWG15uMQwngGRJeUS0jSagWw/viewform

SUMMARY:Unbound Book Festival presents Poetry and Prayer\, feat. Jericho Brown
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \n“Featuring Jericho Brown\, Molly McCullly Brown\, Alicia Jo Rabins\, with moderator Rev. Molly Housh Gordon \nIf\, as Mary Oliver declared\, attention is the beginning of devotion\, then many poems are akin to prayer. But for those poets steeped in liturgical traditions or marked by celestial yearnings\, that connection is more direct. The poets on this panel will discuss poetry’s relationship to prayer\, as well as to other religious vocalizing\, such as chants\, hymns\, koans\, and mantras. Moreover\, they will consider poetry as a religion itself\, an unorthodox source of holiness and redemption.” \nAccess link forthcoming here: http://www.unboundbookfestival.com/poetry-and-prayer

SUMMARY:Elliot Bay Book Company presents Valzhyna Mort with Ilya Kaminsky
DESCRIPTION:Elliot Bay Book Company presents Valzhyna Mort with Ilya Kaminsky\, Feb. 22 at 6 PM PST \nFrom the organizers: \nPublished late in 2020 to universal high praise\, Valzhyna Mort’s utterly powerful poetry collection\, Music for the Dead and Resurrected (Farrar\, Straus & Giroux)\, is steeped in a tradition of poetic witness for her native Belarus in this day and time. \n“Her memory is incurable\, and her imagination is anguished\, because the small country she comes from is beauty and sorrow. Boldly\, Valzhyna Mort stands out in the Belarusian poetic tradition. Reading her work\, one feels that she has come to us from the whole earth.” – Svetlana Alesievich. \n“At the core of Valzhyna Mort’s lyric fusion of personal and collective history is the uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction at Chernobyl\, spreading the ‘radiation of the unknown tongue’ across her natal city of Minsk\, Belarus … In the liminal space between language and silence\, at dizzying imaginative speed\, Mort transmutes her third language\, English\, into something resembling a fourth: the language of all that has been kept from consciousness concerning the past. Her lyric art in contemporary English is astonishing\, and glimmering beneath it is something not often encountered: the sensibility of another world\, arriving to inform our perilous present. Music for the Dead and Resurrected is fiercely original and a tour de force.” – Carolyn Forché. \nValzhyna Mort’s previous collections\, Factory of Tears and Collected Body come from Copper Canyon Press. \nMaking this program even more special is that engaging in conversation with Valzhyna Mort will be award-winning poet Ilya Kaminsky\, most recently author of the transcendent collection\, Deaf Republic. \n  \nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/valzhyna-mort-music-for-the-dead-and-resurrected-with-ilya-kaminsky-tickets-137842311063
