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/

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.

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

SUMMARY:The Life of Poetry: An Online Workshop with Ellen Bass & Frank X. Gaspar
DESCRIPTION:The Life of Poetry: An Online Workshop\, August 2-6\,  with Ellen Bass & Frank X. Gaspar \nFrom the organizers: \nIf you want to write images like that “glint of light on broken glass”—precise\, clear\, and immediately arresting—please join Ellen Bass and Frank X. Gaspar at the online The Life of Poetry Workshop. We’ll craft poems that combine compelling detail with complex thought to create work that is more powerful\, authentic\, courageous and memorable than you’ve ever written before. \nWe will take risks\, summoning the courage to go over\, under or around the censors that silence 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 explore 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.

Epic to elegy\, song to Psalm\, Poetry endures and inspires whether written introspectively in a journal\, or slammed on a stage. \n\n\n\n\nThe Poetry selections on the 2021 Route 1 Reads reading list represent the great Poetry traditions from each of our states. History\, homage\, reflection\, and revolution are distilled down to stanzas\, couplets\, lines\, words. \nWhether readers are at home or on the road this summer\, we hope that this list of must-read books will keep everyone turning pages until Labor Day. The full list of featured books is listed here\, in geographical order from North to South: Route1Reads. \nAbout Route 1 Reads \nConnecting the 2\,369 miles of U.S. Route 1 from Ft. Kent\, Maine\, to Key West\, Florida\, the Route 1 Reads initiative is a partnership between 16 affiliate Centers for the Book to promote books that illuminate important aspects of their states or commonwealths for readers travelling this meandering highway.
