Porter\, who goes by the pen name Red Pine\, is a renowned translator of ancient Chinese poetry. He has published over thirty books\, including Road to Heaven\, his quest to find hermits in the Zhongnan Mountains that reignited a movement in modern China to seek enlightenment through poetry and mountain solitude.

He pursued a fascination with Buddhism and poetry and traveled to remote regions of China to rediscover an  ancient tradition of mountain hermits vital to Chinese culture.” \nPurchase tickets here: https://rosetheatre.com/film/dancing-with-the-dead

SUMMARY:50th Anniversary Reading with Jericho Brown\, Paisley Rekdal\, and Arthur Sze
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Copper Canyon Press and Lannan Foundation  \nThe Lensic Performing Arts Center \n211 W. San Francisco Street\nSanta Fe\, New Mexico 87501\n \n$8 Adult / $5 Senior and Student\nMore information at The Lensic\n \n \nSome of the most important poets writing today come together at the Lensic and via Livestream to celebrate two institutions that have had an outsized role in sustaining the artform for more than half a century: Copper Canyon Press and Lannan Foundation. Marking Copper Canyon Press’s 50th anniversary as an independent publisher dedicated to poetry\, this reading by Pulitzer Prize winners and Poets Laureate testifies to poetry’s remarkable adaptability. Jericho Brown will deliver innovative poetic forms that express the pain—and beauty—of Black and queer life. And Paisley Rekdal will present hybrid text-and-media works that reexamine the history of the West through the stories of the laborers who built it.  \nNational Book Award winner and longtime Santa Fe resident Arthur Sze will open the event with a discussion of the history of Lannan Foundation and Copper Canyon Press and their importance to American literature. Copper Canyon Executive Editor Michael Wiegers will then introduce the readers\, joining all the participants afterward in a closing conversation about poetry’s continued importance as we face the future.  \nThis event will also be livestreamed. \nParticipant Bios: \n“By some literary magic―no\, it’s precision\, and Brown manages to bestow upon even the most public of subjects the most intimate and personal stakes.”—NPR \nJericho Brown is the author of three collections of poems\, most recently The Tradition\, which won the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry and was a finalist for the National Book Award. He is the recipient of several fellowships from institutions such as the Guggenheim and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University\, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Brown is currently the Charles Howard Candler Professor of English and Creative Writing.  \n“Rekdal is a poet of observation and history. . . . She revels in detail but writes vast\, moral poems that help us live in a world of contraries. . . .  These are some of the best lyric poems being written today.”—Los Angeles Times \nPaisley Rekdal is the author of three works of nonfiction and several collections of poetry\, most recently a poetry and multimedia work called West: A Translation\, which was recently longlisted for the 2023 National Book Award. She is the recipient of fellowships and grants from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and the Academy of American Poets\, among others. She is Distinguished Professor at the University of Utah\, where she directs the American West Center\, and she has served as Utah’s state Poet Laureate. \n“Sze is simultaneously the microscope and telescope of the poetry world. And more. To truly attend to these poems is to begin to feel like you have been opened to a kaleidoscopic experience of the cosmos\, a multisensual one whose kinetic foci gather moments across time and space\, word and world.”—Terrain \nArthur Sze has published eleven books of poetry\, including Sight Lines\, which won the National Book Award\, Compass Rose\, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize\, and\, most recently\, The Glass Constellation: New and Collected Poems. Sze is the recipient of many honors\, including the 2022 Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize for Lifetime Achievement from the Poetry Foundation\, a Lannan Literary Award\, fellowships from the Guggenheim and National Endowment for the Arts fellowships\, and grants from the Witter Bynner Foundation for Poetry. A Chancellor Emeritus at the Academy of American Poets and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, he is a professor emeritus at the Institute of American Indian Arts and was the first Poet Laureate of Santa Fe. His latest work\, The Silk Dragon II: Translations of Chinese Poetry\, will be published by Copper Canyon in 2024. \n“Copper Canyon Press may be a little nonprofit publisher far from New York\, but over the last 50 years\, its editors in Port Townsend\, Washington\, have shaped and elevated American poetry.”—Washington Post \nMichael Wiegers has been editing books for Copper Canyon Press since 1993\, and currently serves as the Press’s Executive Editor/Editor in Chief. Most recently\, he edited two anthologies of Copper Canyon Press poetry\, both published this year: A House Called Tomorrow: 50 Years of Poetry and Come Shining: More Poems and Stories from Fifty Years of Copper Canyon Press. He is also the poetry editor of Narrative magazine and edited What About This: The Collected Poems of Frank Stanford\, which was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award\, and The Essential W.S. Merwin. He is currently at work on a book about the poet W.S. Merwin and serves as a trustee for the Merwin Conservancy. \nRegister for the livestream here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_G3l0TwKcSPeTse-Up6eg7w#/registration \n  \n*UPDATE (October 05)*: We regret that Jorie Graham is no longer able to participate in this event\, as originally listed.

SUMMARY:University of Arizona Poetry Center Presents: The Seductions of Voice with Paisely Rekdal
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \nWhat is “voice” in poetry\, and how have our ideas of what constitutes the lyric voice historically evolved? When it comes to first-person poems\, are we really just speaking for ourselves or as part of a collective? How does voice determine how we understand the difference between a poem’s addressee versus its audience? How do our ideas about “voice” and audience themselves change in persona poems? And finally\, how do we cultivate readerly sympathy or trust with choices we make around voice? In this class\, we’ll look at a range of poems that we might call “voice-driven\,” from François Villon\, William Wordsworth\, Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman to Randall Jarrell\, Frank O’Hara\, Terrance Hayes\, Myung-Mi Kim\, and Diane Seuss to consider the many lyric possibilities of “voice.” In-class exercises will be provided to help students generate new work. \nMeeting will take place in the Poetry Center’s Alumni Room\, Room 205; limit 12 students. General registration will open on Tuesday\, August 29th at 10AM.
