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
