SUMMARY:This Moment in Time: David Kirby & Barbara Hamby in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:In Help Me\, Information: Poems\, David Kirby’s works move the way the mind does on a good day\, puddle-jumping from one topic to another and then coming in for a soft landing. In The Knowledge: Where Poems Come From and How to Write Them\, five-time teaching award winner Kirby invites college students to learn the complex\, playful\, and meditative art form of poetry\, offering tips\, talking points\, and unique prompts in each chapter. “Holoholo” is the Hawaiian word for walking out with no destination in mind. Fueled by an American lingo that embraces slang\, Yiddish\, street talk\, and the yearning to be able to describe her moment in time\, with Hololo: Poems\, Barbara Hamby walks out into the current American chaos with its inferno of wars\, street violence\, apocalyptic fantasies\, and racial tension. \nSponsored by

SUMMARY:2020 National Poetry Series Winner Amanda Moore
DESCRIPTION:The National Poetry Series was established in 1978 to recognize and promote excellence in contemporary poetry by ensuring the publication of five books of poetry annually through participating publishers. In addition\, the National Poetry Series has partnered with Miami Book Fair to award the Paz Prize in Poetry\, which ensures bilingual publication for a book of poems written in Spanish. This conversation features Amanda Moore on Requeening: Poems\, in conversation with David St. John\, The Last Troubadour: Selected and New Poems. Engaging the matriarchal structure of the beehive\, Moore explores the various roles a woman plays in the family\, the home\, and the world at large. Beyond the productivity and excess\, the sweetness and sting\, Requeening brings together poems of motherhood and daughterhood\, an evolving relationship of care and tending\, responsibility and joy\, dependence and deep love. With a special introduction by Daniel Halpern\, founder of HarperCollins imprint Ecco and the National Poetry Series. \nSponsored by

SUMMARY:Our Brief & Earthly Inheritance: Two Poets on the Art of Making Do
DESCRIPTION:The poems in Jim Daniels’ Gun/Shy deal with the emotional weight of making do. Tinged with both the regrets and wisdom of aging\, his poems measure the wages of love in a changing world with its vanishing currency. He finds solace in small miracles\, exploring family work\, childhood and adolescence\, and his own mortality. He examines race\, white privilege\, America’s gun culture\, and factory work\, the myths we memorize to help us sleep at night\, those that keep us awake and trembling. In The Mica Mine\, Michael Hettich celebrates the unspoken dialogues of the natural world with linguistic dexterity and fierce transformative details. The human and animal realms interact with the vines and ponds of the untamed world\, until they are a blended whole\, reminding us of our brief and earthly inheritance. Moderated by poet Elisa Albo\, South Florida Poetry Journal. \nSponsored by                                                                                               \n \n  \n  \nIn partnership with

SUMMARY:In Conversation: On A Quilt for David & Between Certain Death and a Possible Future: Queer Writing on Growing Up with the AIDS Crisis
DESCRIPTION:In poetry and prose\, Steven Reigns’ A Quilt for David explores the story of David Acer\, whose homosexuality and sickly appearance from AIDS-related illness made him the perfect scapegoat and a victim of mob mentality in his conservative\, early 1990s-era Florida town. Between Certain Death and a Possible Future: Queer Writing on Growing Up with the AIDS Crisis is Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore’s wide-ranging collection of stories from a generation that came of age during the epidemic and had to confront the notion that desire led to death. Moderated by William Johnson\, PEN Across America program director. \nSponsored by                                                                                               \n \n  \n  \nIn partnership with \n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Hard-Earned Wisdom: Two Poets on Small Ecstasies & Difficult Loves
DESCRIPTION:In The Impossible: Poems\, Deborah DeNicola explores landscapes of her own passion\, her mother’s decline\, and her father’s life\, death\, and imagined afterlife with hard-earned wisdom\, transforming the personal into something beyond universal – the possibility that each life\, encompassing its own suffering\, questing\, and small ecstasies\, is really a stage toward a greater “becoming.” Barbra Nightingale is full of vulnerability\, smarts\, and sometimes hilarity in Spells & Other Ways of Flying: Poems. She brings her witchy poetry powers to poems of both difficult and wonderful loves\, tracing various angers and honoring the emotional landscape of the heart. \nSponsored by

SUMMARY:Three Poets on Hurricanes\, History & the Converse MFA
DESCRIPTION:When her Florida apartment is damaged by the ferocity of Hurricane Irma\, Denise Duhamel turns to Dante and terza rima\, reconstructing the form into the long poem “Terza Irma.” Throughout her new poetry collection\, Second Story: Poems\, she investigates our near-catastrophic ecological and political moment\, hyper aware of her own complicity\, resistance\, and agency. With fear of the water below and a burglar who enters through her second story window\, she bravely faces the story under the story\, the second story we often neglect to tell. In formal and nontraditional poems\, Ashley M. Jones calls for long-overdue reparations to the Black descendants of enslaved people in the United States. In Reparations Now!\, she takes on the worst of today – state-sanctioned violence\, pandemic-induced crises\, and white silence – all while uplifting Black joy. In In All These Hungers: Poems\, Rick Mulkey turns on his hungers\, turns Rimbaud into something American\, small town scrappy\, transparent and musky: these poems land on the tongue and in the brain and center on the stomach. Whisky\, beans\, peppered pork belly bacon\, lemonade\, unclean scrambled eggs\, very cold sweet tea\, onions\, beets\, tomatoes\, wine – these Rabelaisian poems have a nose for the ground that smells “like dusty clocks.” \nSponsored by

SUMMARY:FSG Celebrates 75 Years of Poetry: Frank Bidart & Yusef Komunyakaa
DESCRIPTION:In Against Silence: Poems\, Frank Bidart writes of the cycles we cannot escape and the feelings we cannot forget. Our history is not a tabula rasa\, but a repeating\, refining story of love and hate\, of words spoken and cruelties enacted. Moving among the dead and the living\, the figures of his life and of his past\, Bidart calls forth – with nothing settled and nothing forgotten\, we must speak. Everyday Mojo Songs of Earth: New and Selected Poems\, 2001-2021 brings together selected poems from the past 20 years of Yusef Komunyakaa’s work\, as well as new poems from the Pulitzer Prize winner. Komunyakaa’s masterful\, concise verse conjures arresting images of peace and war\, the natural power of the earth and of love\, his childhood in the American South and his service in Vietnam\, the ugly violence of racism in America\, and the meaning of power and morality. Moderated by Jonathan Galassi\, president of Farrar\, Straus and Giroux and editor of The FSG Poetry Anthology (75th Anniversary). \nSponsored by

SUMMARY:A New Reckoning: Two Graywolf Poets on Spirituality\, Survival\, & the Second Book
DESCRIPTION:The Renunciations: Poems is a book of resilience\, survival\, and the journey to radically shift one’s sense of self in the face of trauma. Moving between a childhood marked by love and abuse and the breaking marriage of that adult child\, Donika Kelly charts memory and the body as landscapes to be traversed and tended. These poems construct life rafts and sanctuaries even in their most devastating confrontations with what a person can bear\, with how families harm themselves. In Yellow Rain: Poems\, Mai Der Vang reopens a wrongdoing that deserves a new reckoning. As the United States abandoned them at the end of its war in Vietnam\, many Hmong refugees recounted stories of a mysterious substance that fell from planes during their escape from Laos starting in the mid-1970s. This substance\, known as “yellow rain\,” caused severe illnesses and thousands of deaths. Integrating archival research and declassified documents\, Yellow Rain calls out the erasure of a history\, the silencing of a people who at the time lacked the capacity and resources to defend and represent themselves. In poems that sing and lament\, that contend and question\, Vang restores a vital narrative in danger of being lost\, and brilliantly explores what it means to have access to the truth and how marginalized groups are often forbidden that access. Moderated by Carlene Sawyer\, executive director of the Dranoff 2 Piano Foundation. \nSponsored by                                                                                               \n \n  \n  \nIn partnership with
