SUMMARY:Comet of Stillness: Taught By Victoria Chang and Matthew Zapruder
DESCRIPTION:Victoria Chang and Matthew Zapruder will be teaching a class called Comet of Stillness: A five-week short course on the Poetry of W.S. Merwin. The course will meet on Sundays from January 22 – February 19\, 2023. \nEarly Bird Tuition (before January 12\, 2023): $270. \nStandard Tuition (After January 12\, 2023): $300. \nFinancial Aid is available \nFrom the organizers: \nW.S. Merwin’s poetry was visionary\, ecological\, anti-war\, and humanist\, and exhibits a clarity and strangeness that continues to exert a profound influence on contemporary American poetry. The goal of these five sessions is to dive deeply into this extraordinary poet and his body of work. Across five sessions\, poets Victoria Chang and Matthew Zapruder will facilitate close-readings of key poems\, and will situate the poems\, and the poet\, in their historical contexts. The course will explore Merwin’s formal innovations\, his thematic concerns\, and his development as a poet from his earliest work to his final poems. Chang and Zapruder will introduce\, and talk with\, key figures from his literary life\, including Merwin’s long-time editor at Copper Canyon Press\, Michael Wiegers. \n \nIn addition to course meetings\, Chang and Zapruder will provide additional reading materials. Each session will begin with an hour of discussion\, including background and close readings\, followed by a ten-minute break. The session will then reconvene for a second hour in which Chang and Zapruder will discuss thoughts from the chat\, answer questions\, and offer further insights. Each session will end with an optional poetry writing prompt based on Merwin’s poetry. \n \nDates/Times:  Sundays\, January 22 – February 19\, 2023  4:00-6:00 PM (Pacific) on Zoom \n \nEarly Bird Tuition (before January 12\, 2023): $270. \nStandard Tuition (After January 12\, 2023):  $300. \nFinancial aid is available. Please contact us if needed. \n  \nWhat to Expect: \nFive\, two-hour weekly sessions online with assigned reading of poems and supplemental material.\nIn the first sixty or seventy minutes of each session\, Victoria Chang and Mathew Zapruder will explore and supply background on the previously assigned poems.\nIn the second hour\, we will reconvene in our large group for conversation and questions.\nParticipant questions and comments may be addressed using Vimeo’s chat feature during the second hour\, though questions can be posted in the chat throughout the session.\nOptional small (8-10 person) discussion groups will be available to those with the energy and interest after the formal session is over.\nOptional writing prompts based on Merwin’s poems will be provided.\nEach participant will be given a seat on a dedicated SLACK channel\, where writing prompt responses and extracurricular discussion can occur.\nThis course will be presented live online on the Vimeo platform.\nThese sessions will be recorded\, and will be available for later viewing by registered participants for 30 days following the final session.\nTEXT:\nFor this course\, our text will be The Essential W.S. Merwin; handouts for each session will be posted online. \nParticipants who don’t own the text are asked to purchase and explore it\, if possible\, before January 22. \nThe Essential W.S. Merwin (Copper Canyon Press) \nTHE SHORT COURSE PLAN: \nSession 1 (Jan. 22): Introduction and early forms \nSession 2 (Jan. 29): The Lice: war and the environment \nSession 3 (Feb 5): Middle Period: intellect\, resistance\, and formal innovation \nSession 4 (Feb. 12): The Vixen: time and ghosts \nSession 5 (Feb 19): Late poems and Merwin’s poetic legacy \nOnline\, and year-round\, The Writers’ Annex is composed of short courses\, seminars\, workshops\, and more. Our vision is to bring the creative insight and experience of our staff poets and prose writers to our community in all seasons\, not just in the summertime\, and not just here in our Valley. Our online offerings will address such topics as eco-poetics\, translation\, and generative sessions. Some will be one or two days\, some will be weekend intensives\, and some will meet weekly for a month or two. In addition\, we hope these offerings will help offset the tremendous expenses we incur each summer bringing excellent writers of poetry and prose to the Valley regardless of their ability to pay. \n

SUMMARY:Harry Ransom Center presents Victoria Chang: Author Reading and Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:Harry Ransom Center presents Victoria Chang: Author Reading and Book Signing\, 6 PM CST \nFrom the organizers: \nPoet\, writer\, and editor Victoria Chang celebrates her most recent book of poetry\, The Trees Witness Everything\, published by Copper Canyon Press and Corsair Books in the U.K. in 2022\, with this reading and a book signing at the Ransom Center. The book was named one of the Best Books of 2022 by The New Yorker and The Guardian. In the book\, Chang reinvigorates language by way of concentration\, using constraint to illuminate and free the wild interior. Largely composed in various Japanese syllabic forms called “wakas\,” each poem is shaped by pattern and count. \nThis highly original work innovates inside the lineage of great poets including W.S. Merwin\, whose poem titles are repurposed as frames and mirrors for the text\, stitching past and present in complex dialogue. Chang depicts the smooth\, melancholic isolation of the mind while reaching outward to name—with reverence\, economy\, and whimsy—the ache of wanting\, the hawk and its shadow\, our human urge to hide the minute beneath the light. \nMore information will appear here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/victoria-chang-author-reading-and-book-signing-tickets-510908449927?fbclid=IwAR30oDL9yim6y6qFQ7IGanjVQq_4wPGQ7QztFazKljf7FBA2V66QYf4aIRY
