SUMMARY:Sandra Cisneros & Manuel Muñoz: A Conversation
DESCRIPTION:This program is being livestreamed from MDC’s Wolfson Campus. For more information about this in-person program\, please visit MiamiBookFair.com. \nWoman Without Shame: Poems is Sandra Cisneros’ first book of poetry in 28 years. The collection comprises dozens of never-before-seen poems and includes songs\, elegies\, and declarations that chronicle her pilgrimage toward rebirth and the recognition of her prerogative as a woman artist. These are bluntly honest and often humorous meditations on memory\, desire\, and the essential nature of love. The stories in Manuel Muñoz’s The Consequences are mostly set in the 1980s in the small towns surrounding Fresno. He writes about the Mexican and Mexican American farmworkers who put food on our tables\, their families’ daily struggles\, and their encounters with “la migra\,” the feared agents of immigration enforcement and border patrols. In The Consequences\, obligations can shape us\, support us\, and sometimes derail us. \nWith thanks to associate sponsor

SUMMARY:Robert Pinsky With Campbell McGrath: A Conversation
DESCRIPTION:This program is being livestreamed from MDC’s Wolfson Campus. For more information about this in-person program\, please visit MiamiBookFair.com. \nIn Jersey Breaks: Becoming an American Poet\, Robert Pinsky\, a U.S. poet laureate (1997-2000) and Pulitzer Prize finalist\, traces the roots of his poetry to the voices of his boyhood neighborhood\, Long Branch – a historic but run-down New Jersey shore resort town – amid Italian\, Black\, and Jewish families. It’s those voices\, he says\, and a distinctly American tradition of improvisation. Moderating is Campbell McGrath\, the award-winning author of 11 books of poetry\, including XX: Poems for the Twentieth Century\, a finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer Prize. \n

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. This conversation features No’u Revilla on Ask the Brindled: Poems\, speaking with the judge who selected her manuscript\, Rick Barot\, The Galleons: Poems. In this debut collection\, Revilla crafts a lyric landscape brimming with shed skin\, water\, mo’o\, ma’i.

Wedding the history of the Kingdom of Hawai’i with contemporary experiences of queer love and queer grief\, Revilla writes toward sovereignty: linguistic\, erotic\, civic. Through the medium of formal dynamism and the material of ’Ōiwi culture and mythos\, this living decolonial text both condemns and creates. With a special introduction by Daniel Halpern\, founder of HarperCollins imprint Ecco and the National Poetry Series. \nIn partnership with

SUMMARY:“Restlessness\, Reflection & Revolution”: Dana Levin\, Jana Prikryl & Jenny Xie
DESCRIPTION:Dana Levin’s Now Do You Know Where You Are investigates how great change calls the soul out of the old lyric\, working in a variety of forms\, calling on beloveds and ancestors\, great thinkers and religions – convened by her own spun-of-light wisdom and intellectual hospitality. 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:2021 National Poetry Series Winner Alexandra Lytton Regalado
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 Alexandra Lytton Regalado on Relinquenda: Poems\, speaking with the judge who selected her manuscript\, Reginald Dwayne Betts\, Felon: Poems. When COVID-19 broke and the United States closed the border to travel\, Alexandra Lytton Regalado was separated from family back in El Salvador. She wrote Relinquenda entirely during lockdown as a meditation on cancer\, the passing of her father\, and the renewed significance of community. Situated in the tropical landscapes of Miami\, Florida and El Salvador\, the poems also negotiate the meaning of home\, reflecting on immigration and the ties between the United States and El Salvador 30 years after her birth country’s decade-long civil war. With a special introduction by Daniel Halpern\, founder of HarperCollins imprint Ecco and the National Poetry Series. \n\nIn partnership with           Sponsored by  \nFunding for this program was provided through a grant from Florida Humanities with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

SUMMARY:Maya Abu Al-Hayyat on You Can Be the Last Leaf: Selected Poems
DESCRIPTION:Translated from the Arabic and introduced by Fady Joudah\, You Can Be the Last Leaf: Selected Poems draws on two decades of work to present the transcendent and timely US debut of Palestinian poet Maya Abu Al-Hayyat. Art. Garlic. Taxis. Sleepy soldiers at checkpoints. The smell of trash on a winter street\, before “our wild rosebush\, neglected / by the gate\, / blooms.” Lovers who don’t return\, the possibility that you yourself might not return. Making beds. Cleaning up vomit. Reading recipes. In You Can Be the Last Leaf\, these are the ordinary and profound – sometimes tragic\, sometimes dreamy\, sometimes almost frivolous – moments of life under Israeli occupation. Abu Al-Hayyat has created a richly textured portrait of Palestinian interiority – at once wry and romantic\, worried and tenacious\, and always singing itself. Moderated by author Lena Khalaf Tuffaha. \nThis is a ReadingEast program.

SUMMARY:2021 National Poetry Series Winner Shelley Puhak
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 Shelley Puhak on Harbinger: Poems\, speaking with poet Campbell McGrath\, Nouns & Verbs: New and Selected Poems. Seen through the lens of motherhood\, of working as a waitress\, of watching election results come in\, or of simply sitting in a waiting room\, making art – and making an artist – is a process wherein historical events collide with lived experience\, both deeply personal but also unfailingly political. When we make art\, for what (and to whom) are we accountable? And what does art-making demand of us\, especially as apocalypse looms? Puhak shows us the reality of the constantly evolving and unstable self\, a portrait of the artist as fragmentary\, impressionable\, and always in flux. With a special introduction by Daniel Halpern\, founder of HarperCollins imprint Ecco and the National Poetry Series. \nIn partnership with \n \n

SUMMARY:Sharon Olds on Balladz: Poetry
DESCRIPTION:“At the time of have-not\, I look at myself in this mirror\,” writes Sharon Olds in Balladz\, a self-scouring\, exhilarating volume which opens with a section of quarantine poems\, and at its center boasts what she calls Amherst Balladz (whose syntax honors Emily Dickinson: “she was our Girl – our Woman – / Man enough – for me”) and many more in her own contemporary\, long-flowing-sentence rhythm. Olds sings of her childhood\, young womanhood\, and maturity all mixed up together\, seeing an early lover in the one who is about to buried; seeing her white privilege without apology; seeing her mother (whom her readers will recognize) “flushed exalted at Punishment time”; seeing how we’ve spoiled the Earth but carrying a stray indoor spider carefully back out to the garden. It is Olds’ gift to us that in the richly detailed exposure of her sorrows she can still elegize songbirds\, her true kin\, and write that heaven comes here in life\, not after it. Joining her to moderate is Mary Sutton\, Academy of American Poets senior content editor. \nIn partnership with

This conversation features Kien Lam on Extinction Theory: Poems\, speaking with the judge who selected his manuscript\, Kyle Dargan\, Anagnorisis: Poems.

Lam creates new worlds with new rules to better answer these perennial questions. His poetry is that of discovery\, of looking at the world as if for the first time. He exposes the transitory and transcendent nature of things and how we find meaning.

SUMMARY:2021 National Poetry Series Winner Su Cho
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 Su Cho on The Symmetry of Fish\, speaking with the judge who selected her manuscript\, Paige Lewis\, Space Struck. Language and lore are at the core of The Symmetry of Fish\, a moving debut about coming-of-age in the middle of nowhere. With striking and tender insight\, it seeks to give voice to those who have been denied their stories\, and examines the way phrases and narratives are passed down through immigrant families – not diluted over time\, but distilled into potency over generations. In this way\, a family’s language is not lost but continuously remade\, hitched to new associations\, and capable of blooming anew\, with the power to cut across space and time to unearth buried memories. With a special introduction by Daniel Halpern\, founder of HarperCollins imprint Ecco and the National Poetry Series. \nIn partnership with

SUMMARY:U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón & Robert Casper: A Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Ada Limón returns to the Miami Book Fair to celebrate her new appointment as the 24th U.S. Poet Laureate and The Hurting Kind\, an astonishing collection about interconnectedness between the human and nonhuman\, ancestors and ourselves. What does it mean to be the hurting kind? To be sensitive not only to the world’s pain and joys\, but to the meanings that bend in the scrim between the natural world and the human world? To divine the relationships between us all? To perceive ourselves in other beings – and to know that those beings are resolutely their own\, that they “do not / care to be seen as symbols”? With Limón’s remarkable ability to trace thought\, The Hurting Kind explores those questions – incorporating others’ stories and ways of knowing\, making surprising turns\, and always reaching a place of startling insight. Presented in partnership with the Library of Congress and O\, Miami; moderated by Robert Casper\, head of Poetry and Literature at the Library of Congress. \nPresented in partnership with \nSponsored by  \n\nFunding for this program was provided through a grant from Florida Humanities with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

SUMMARY:Three Poets on Geography\, Intimacy & Dislocation
DESCRIPTION:In All the Names Given: Poems\, Raymond Antrobus outlines a childhood caught between intimacy and brutality\, sound and silence\, and conflicting racial and cultural identities – shifting fluidly between England\, South Africa\, Jamaica\, and the American South. This Alaska by Carlie Hoffman interrogates all that emotional and physical intimacy cannot salvage or keep warm. To live in an Alaska of the mind is to map the imagined cartography of winter on all that is physical\, to dwell perpetually in a symbolic cold\, and to emerge\, with grace\, unscathed. In Cleave\, Tiana Nobile grapples with the history of transnational adoption\, both her own from South Korea and the broader\, collective experience. In conversation with psychologist Harry Harlow’s monkey experiments and utilizing fragments of a highly personal cache of documents from her own adoption\, these poems explore dislocation\, familial relationships\, and the science of love and attachment. Moderated by author and podcaster John King\, founder and host of The Drunken Odyssey: A Podcast About the Writing Life. \nSponsored by                                                                                               \n \n  \n  \nIn partnership with

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:In Conversation: Kaveh Akbar & Kevin Young
DESCRIPTION:Kaveh Akbar’s second collection\, Pilgrim Bell: Poems\, takes its readers on a spiritual journey of disavowal\, fiercely attendant to the presence of divinity where artifacts of self and belonging have been shed. Akbar responds with prayer as an act of devotion to dissonance – the infinite void of a loved one’s absence\, the indulgence of austerity\, making a life as a Muslim in an Islamophobic nation – teasing the sacred out of silence and stillness. Whether it’s the fireflies of a Louisiana summer caught in a mason jar (doomed by their collection)\, or his grandmother\, Mama Annie\, who latches the screen door when someone steps out for just a moment\, all that makes up our flickering precarious joy\, all that we want to protect\, is lifted into the light in this moving book. Stones: Poems becomes an ode to Kevin Young’s home places and his dear departed\, and to what of them – of us – poetry can save. \nSponsored by                                                                                               \n \n  \n  \nIn partnership with

SUMMARY:Reason & Unreason: Three Poets on Destruction\, Memory & Hope
DESCRIPTION:In Asylum: A Personal\, Historical\, Natural Inquiry in 103 Lyric Sections\, Jill Bialosky considers the oppositions that govern us: our reason and unreason\, our need to preserve and destruct\, building a narrative sequence that examines her nascent calling as a writer; her sister’s suicide and its still unfolding aftermath; the horror unleashed by World War II; the life cycle of the monarch butterfly; and the woods where she seeks asylum – to form a moving story\, powerfully braiding despair\, survival\, and hope. Walking through the landscape of loss\, the poems in Anne Marie Macari’s Heaven Beneath: Poems explore the illness of a parent and the parallel ongoing degradation and destruction of the planet and its creatures. Beneath “paved-over space\,” in the deep currents of a river\, or the shadows of great trees\, there’s another world\, there’s a heaven\, unknowable\, in the muck\, alive and with us\, not distant or abstract. Maggie Smith\, the author of Keep Moving\, returns to poetry with Goldenrod: Poems\, a new collection that looks at parenthood\, solitude\, love\, and memory\, pulling objects from everyday life to celebrate the contours of daily life\, explore and delight in the space between thought and experience\, and remind us that we decide what is beautiful.

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

DESCRIPTION:In his collection The Foreigner’s Song: New and Selected Poems\, Cuban-born American poet Pablo Medina reaches back to his six previous published collections and all the way to his first\, published in 1975\, adding 19 new works. His prose has a dreamlike quality in which familiarity and certainty surrender to strangeness. Achy Obejas’ Boomerang/Bumerán: Poetry/Poesía is a bilingual collection of lyrical poetry written in bold\, mostly gender-free English and Spanish that addresses immigration\, displacement\, love\, and activism. Moderated by poet Alexandra Lytton Regalado of Supporting Women Writers in Miami (SWWIM). \nSponsored by                                                                                               \n \n  \n  \nIn partnership with
