SUMMARY:Billy-Ray Belcourt on A Minor Chorus: A Novel: Fiction
DESCRIPTION:In Billy-Ray Belcourt’s A Minor Chorus: A Novel\, set against the stark expanse of Northern Alberta\, a queer Indigenous doctoral student steps away from his dissertation to write a novel. His work is informed by a series of poignant encounters\, including a heart-to-heart with fellow doctoral student River over the mounting pressure placed on marginalized scholars\, and a meeting with Michael\, a closeted man from his hometown whose vulnerability and loneliness punctuate the realities of queer life on the fringe. Woven throughout these conversations are memories of Jack\, a cousin caught in the cycle of police violence\, drugs\, and survival. Jack’s life parallels the narrator’s own; the possibilities of escape and imprisonment are left to chance with colonialism stacking the odds.

SUMMARY:Phil Klay\, Elliot Ackerman & Ben Kesling: A Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Phil Klay’s Uncertain Ground: Citizenship in an Age of Endless\, Invisible War notes that relatively few Americans have had to do any real grappling with the endless\, invisible conflicts of the post-9/11 world; in fact\, increasingly few people are even aware they are still going on. But while American military actions abroad may be out of sight and out of mind\, the consequences are real. Elliot Ackerman had left the military 10 years before the Taliban began to close in on Kabul in August 2021 but was pulled back into the conflict by the humanitarian catastrophe at its conclusion. The Fifth Act: America’s End in Afghanistan documents the weight of 20 years of war bearing down on the week in which it ended. And in Bravo Company: An Afghanistan Deployment and Its Aftermath\, Ben Kesling\, a journalist and former Marine Corps officer who served in Iraq and Afghanistan\, tells the story of the war in Afghanistan and its consequences\, through the eyes of men who served in the 82nd Airborne Division. For some\, the war hasn’t ended\, even though they came home.

SUMMARY:Celeste Mohammed With Tracey Baptiste: A Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Coconut trees. Carnival. Rum and Coke. To outsiders\, these idyllic images represent the so-called easy life in Caribbean nations such as Trinidad and Tobago. For those who live there the reality is very different\, and in Pleasantview: A Novel in Stories\, Trinidadian lawyer-turned-writer Celeste Mohammed reveals a society where poverty and patriarchy savagely rule – and love and revenge often go hand in hand. Writing in a combination of English and Trinidad Creole\, she sets the stories in a fictional town in Trinidad. There we meet a political candidate who sets out to slaughter endangered turtles for fun\, a rival candidate who beats his “outside woman” so severely that she loses their baby\, and a young boy with a gun. Moderating is Tracey Baptiste\,  New York Times bestselling author of Minecraft: The Crash.

SUMMARY:2021 National Poetry Series Winner No’u Revilla
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.

Through the medium of formal dynamism and the material of ’Ōiwi culture and mythos\, this living decolonial text both condemns and creates.

SUMMARY:“Restlessness\, Reflection & Revolution”: Dana Levin\, Jana Prikryl & Jenny Xie

In Midwood: Poems\, Jana Prikryl probes the notion of midlife\, when past and future blur in the equidistance\, balancing formal innovation with deeply personal reflections on love and sex and marriage and motherhood in new language for confronting our present moment. In polyphonic and formally restless sequences\, The Rupture Tense: Poems by Jenny Xie cracks open reverberant\, vexed experiences of diasporic homecoming intergenerational memory transfer\, state-enforced amnesia\, public secrecies\, and the psychic fallout of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Moderated by Carlene Sawyer\, Executive Director of the Dranoff 2 Piano Foundation. \nIn partnership with

SUMMARY:Tom Mustill\, Priyanka Kumar & Sy Montgomery: A Conversation
DESCRIPTION:After surviving a humpback whale crashing into his kayak\, Tom Mustill turned to his experience as a naturalist and wildlife filmmaker to investigate human-whale interactions around the world. And in How to Speak Whale: A Voyage into the Future of Animal Communication\, he examines how artificial intelligence – originally designed to translate human languages – is being used to discover and decode patterns in animal communications. After moving from northern India to North America as a teenager\, author and filmmaker Priyanka Kumar became increasingly distanced from the natural world she once took for granted. She rediscovered her place in the landscape by watching birds\, a connection captured in a collection of essays in Conversations with Birds. In her stories\, birds “become a portal to a more vivid\, enchanted world.” In The Hawk’s Way: Encounters with Fierce Beauty\, Sy Montgomery reveals the wondrous world of these birds and what they can teach us about nature\, life\, and love. These are no pets but fierce predators\, deeply emotional\, quick to anger and frustration\, and capable of holding a grudge for years – but they are also intensely loyal.
