SUMMARY:The Manchester Literature Festival presents Jericho Brown\, Rachel Long\, Raymond Antrobus & Safiya Sinclair
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers:  \nMLF and Picador present four stunning\, innovative poets whose work speaks to the times we are living in. Jericho Brown’s Pulitzer Prize winning collection The Tradition considers the normalisation of evil and explores masculinity\, fatherhood and freedom. It also introduces the duplex\, a new poetic form. Rachel Long’s superb debut My Darling from the Lions\, shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection\, examines relationships between a mother and her daughter\, between friends\, between lovers; considering the legacy of girlhood. Jamaican poet Safiya Sinclair’s incredible debut Cannibal uses The Tempest to frame explorations of colonialism and its legacy\, womanhood\, otherness and exile. The collection won numerous awards on publication in the USA\, including the American Academy of Arts and Letters Addison M. Metcalf Award and the Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Poetry. British-Jamaican and D/deaf poet Raymond Antrobus’ first collection The Perseverance won The Ted Hughes Award\, The Rathbones Folio Prize and the Young Writer of the Year Award. New to the Picador list\, Raymond will showcase forthcoming material. \nPresented in partnership with Picador and hosted by Scottish Makar and MLF Patron Jackie Kay. \nApproximate running time 75 minutes \nThis event will be available for ticket holders to watch for 72 hours after the streamed broadcast. \nTickets for this event are available for FREE or on a Pay What You Can £6 / £12 / £20 basis. \nPlease pay £6 (low income / concessionary rate)\, £12 (standard ticket price) or £20 (if you are watching at home with another member of your household) if you are able to. Any ticket revenue we receive will help Manchester Literature Festival survive these challenging times and hopefully bounce back with a live festival in 2021. However\, if you can’t afford to buy a ticket please do join us for free.

SUMMARY:Brooklyn Public Library Presents Indigenous Peoples Day Poetry Celebration with Sherwin Bitsui
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers:  \nJoin award-winning authors Sherwin Bitsui\, Joan Naviyuk Kane\, and Tommy Pico for a poetry reading of new poems. Of Sherwin Bitsui’s poetry\, Library Journal writes\, “Bitsui’s poetry returns things to their basic elements and voice in a flowing language rife with illuminating images\,” and went on to call his work “serious and innovative.”  “Through a rigorous\, proximate gaze and precise linguistic hybridity\,” writes Ploughshares\, “[Joan Naviyuk] Kane unlocks moments of felt thought in which personal\, cultural\, and geologic experience converge.” And Dan Chiasson\, in The New Yorker\, writes of Pico’s work: “Sylvia Plath’s simplest line may be one of her most devastating: ‘I am only thirty.’ I feel the same shudder when I read Pico’s blunt report: ‘I am 34.’” \nA celebration of three powerful\, affecting and innovative writers\, this event is also part of an ongoing series intended to encourage discussion around our country’s complicated history with land ownership. The reading will be followed by a short conversation and audience questions. \nPlease register for this free Zoom event. Registered audience members will receive a Zoom link prior to the event.

SUMMARY:USF Humanities Institute Presents A Poetry Reading with Pulitzer Prize Winner\, Jericho Brown
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \nThis year’s winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry\, Jericho Brown\, will read from “The Tradition” and take questions from the audience. “The Tradition” details the normalization of evil and its history at the intersection of the past and the personal. His poetic concerns are both broad and intimate\, and at their very core a distillation of the incredibly human. Poems of fatherhood\, legacy\, blackness\, queerness\, worship\, and trauma are propelled into stunning clarity by Brown’s mastery. \nBrown is also the author of “Please” and “The New Testament.” He has won the Whiting Writer’s Award\, and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation\, National Endowment for the Arts\, and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Elliott Bay Book Company presents Aimee Nezhukumatathil and John Freeman
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \n“If things go as we imagine this might\, this evening’s program will feature Aimee Nezhukumatathil\, one of the most vital poets of her generation\, doing this virtual reading program with her first book of prose\, the dazzling\, animated book that is World of Wonders: In Praise of Fireflies\, Whale Sharks\, and Other Astonishments (Milkweed).  She\, presumably at home in Mississippi\, will be joined by John Freeman\, whom we think will be linked in from London. Most known for extraordinary work as an editor and essayist\, he is also becoming increasingly recognized as a poet of note. Copper Canyon Press\, which now also publishes Aimee Nezhukumatathil’s poetry (Oceanic)\, has just published John Freeman’s second collection\, The Park\, following his earlier Maps. This program should feature strong talk about the planet\, and some excellent poetry.” \nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/aimee-nezukhumatathil-and-john-freeman-tickets-118411049637

SUMMARY:Decatur Book Festival presents Jericho Brown
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers:  \nThe Atlanta Journal-Constitution Decatur Book Festival presented by Emory University is proud to feature 2020 Pulitzer Prize winner Jericho Brown as this year’s Keynote speaker. In conversation with festival board president\, Mathwon Howard\, Brown will discuss his most recent book\, The Tradition\, that details the normalization of evil and its history at the intersection of the past and the personal.

Join us for a reading and discussion with one of the greatest poets of our time\, and an integral member of the Emory community.  \nRegister here: https://decaturbookfestival.com/session/keynote-jericho-brown/ \nJoin here: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/ajc-dbf-2020-keynote-jericho-brown
