SUMMARY:Ellen Bass presents Truth & Beauty: An Online Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Ellen Bass presents\, June 7-11\, Truth & Beauty: An Online Writing Workshop \nFrom the organizers: \nIf 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/product/truth-and-beauty-2021-online/

SUMMARY:Skylight Books presents Live on Crowdcast: Heidi Seaborn with Kelli Russell Agodon
DESCRIPTION:Skylight Books presents Live on Crowdcast: Heidi Seaborn discusses An Insomniac’s Slumber Party with Marilyn Monroe with Kelli Russell Agodon on July 1\, 2021 at 6:30 p.m. (PDT). \nFrom the organizers: \nHeidi Seaborn’s astonishing second collection of poems\, An Insomniac’s Slumber Party with Marilyn Monroe is a middle-of-the-night poetic conversation with Marilyn Monroe that explores obsessions\, addictions\, abuse\, objectification\, marriage\, work\, children\, childlessness and death. Pressing on the themes of her acclaimed debut\, Give a Girl Chaos {see what she can do}\, Seaborn illuminates the biographical and emotional journey of Marilyn as intimacies whispered between two women. These are women who have lived “on the glittering edge” and know that when a third husband “draws a blank page from his typewriter\,” it means she needs to go to work in a world dominated by men. In An Insomniac’s Slumber Party with Marilyn Monroe\, Marilyn is a resilient\, intelligent feminist who understands how to accumulate and wield power in the 1950’s. She is also vulnerable\, exploited\, and broken in so many ways. We see the speaker discover Marilyn until “then she is everywhere\,” a haunting presence that becomes both muse and reflection. Seaborn invites us into the poetic soul of the world’s most famous woman with poems that celebrate and mourn. An Insomniac’s Slumber Party with Marilyn Monroe is a sequined meditation on what keeps us up at night and what fills our dreams. \nHeidi Seaborn is the author of [PANK] 2020 Poetry Award winner An Insomniac’s Slumber Party with Marilyn Monroe (2021)\, Give a Girl Chaos (C&R Press\, 2019) and the 2020 Comstock Review Prize Chapbook\, Bite Marks\, as well as chapbooks\, Finding My Way Home and Once a Diva. Since Heidi started writing in 2016\, she’s won or been shortlisted for over two dozen awards. Her work has recently appeared in American Poetry Journal\, Beloit Poetry Journal\, Copper Nickel\, The Cortland Review\, The Greensboro Review\, The Missouri Review\, The Slowdown with Tracy K. Smith\, Tinderbox Poetry Journal and elsewhere. She is Executive Editor of The Adroit Journal and holds an MFA in Poetry from NYU. \nKelli Russell Agodon’s newest book is Dialogues with Rising Tides from Copper Canyon Press. She is the author of four collections of poems\, two books of poetry prompts\, and she co-edited the first eBook anthology of women’s poetry\, Fire on Her Tongue. Kelli is the cofounder of Two Sylvias Press where she works as an editor and book cover designer as well as the Co-Director of Poets on the Coast: A Weekend Retreat for Women. She lives in a sleepy seaside town in Washington State on traditional lands of the Chimacum\, Coast Salish\, S’Klallam\, and Suquamish people where she is an avid paddleboarder and hiker. She teaches at Pacific Lutheran University’s low-res MFA program\, the Rainier Writing Workshop. \nDialogues with Rising Tides (Copper Canyon Press) \nIn Kelli Russell Agodon’s fourth collection\, each poem facilitates a humane and honest conversation with the forces that threaten to take us under. The anxieties and heartbreaks of life―including environmental collapse\, cruel politics\, and the persistent specter of suicide―are met with emotional vulnerability and darkly sparkling humor. Dialogues with Rising Tides does not answer\, This or that? It passionately exclaims\, And also! Even in the midst of great difficulty\, radiant wonders are illuminated at every turn. \n

SUMMARY:Ledbury Poetry Festival presents Valzhyna Mort and Victoria Chang\, chaired by Neil Astley
DESCRIPTION:Ledbury Poetry Festival presents Valzhyna Mort and Victoria Chang\, chaired by Neil Astley\, on July 2\, 2021 from 6 to 7 p.m. (BST); 10 to 11 a.m. (PDT); noon to 1 p.m. (CDT); 1 to 2 p.m. (EDT). \nFrom the organizers: \nAfter her mother died\, poet Victoria Chang refused to write elegies. Rather\, she distilled her grief during a feverish two weeks by writing scores of poetic obituaries for all she lost in the world. In Obit\, longlisted for the 2020 National Book Award in Poetry\, Chang writes of “the way memory gets up after someone has died and starts walking.” These poems reinvent the form of newspaper obituary to both name what has died (“civility\,” “language\,” “the future\,” “Mother’s blue dress”) and the cultural impact of death on the living. \nIn her book of letters to the dead\, the prize-winning poet Valzhyna Mort relearns how to mourn those erased by violent history. With shocking\, unforgettable lyric force\, Valzhyna Mort’s Music for the Dead and Resurrected confronts the legacy of violent death in one family in Belarus. In these letters to the dead\, the poet asks: How do we mourn after a century of propaganda? Can private stories challenge the collective power of Soviet and American historical mythology? \nRegister here: https://www.poetry-festival.co.uk/events/valzhyna-mort-and-victoria-chang/

Through the drawing\, painting\, performance and sculpture\, she confronts our view of ourselves “outside of Nature” and our desire to distance ourselves from our mortality. She currently lives in Des Moines\, IA\, where she works as a fulltime artist and independent curator. She has received numerous grants and awards including an Iowa Arts Council Fellowship\, and her work has been shown nationally and is in several corporate and private collections including the Des Moines Art Center\, the White House and the World Food Prize. \nMary Jones makes mixed media artworks about urban walking. For 15 years\, she was Professor of Art & Design at Grand View University in Des Moines\, where she taught courses in printmaking\, book arts\, and graphic design. Prior to teaching\, she worked as an illustrator with work published by The Chicago Tribune\, Playboy Magazine\, and the Philadelphia Enquirer\, among others. She has work in the Linda Lee Alter Collection of Women in the Arts at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia\, and in the State Museum of Illinois in both Chicago and Springfield. She has been an artist in residence at the Ragdale Foundation and at Anchor Graphics\, Chicago. She is a 2018-19 Iowa Arts Council Fellow. \nMichaela Mullin is a Pushcart-nominated poet\, arts writer and editor living in Des Moines\, Iowa. She is Associate Editor at Nomadic Press (Oakland\, California). Mullin earned her BA in English from Drake University\, an MFA in Creative Writing from University of Nebraska\, and a PhD in Philosophy\, Art\, and Critical Thought from the European Graduate School. She is a recipient of the Helen W. Kenefick Poetry Prize from the Academy of American Poets and the Thomas Dunn Scholarship in English.

SUMMARY:Arcadia Books presents Nikki Wallschlaeger
DESCRIPTION:Arcadia Books presents Nikki Wallschlaeger for a poetry reading on July 17\, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. \nFrom the organizers: \nNikki Wallschlaeger\, 2021-22 visiting professor at the Iowa Writers’ Group\, reads from Waterbaby\, her third collection of poetry. \nUsing the element of water to connect her poems\, Nikki Wallschlaeger writes about family\, memory\, Blackness\, motherhood\, work and the toll taken on the body and spirit. \n“How can you not be grateful\, in such an ugly time\, for a poet who so closely and wryly and wrenchingly and furiously observes a nation?” —Chicago Tribune \n“She deploys a new vocabulary for talking about the legacies of slavery and white supremacy as they manifest in daily life—a vocabulary that is as damning as it is lush\, as rich with sound as it is bright with image… The domestic scenes she makes in her poems complicate clichés of who black women in America are ‘supposed’ to be.”  —Hyperallergic \n“Permeated by animus towards racism and capitalism\, Wallschlaeger’s latest collection is political\, personal and timely.” —Publishers Weekly
