SUMMARY:Loaded Terms: Poets on Identity & Truth
DESCRIPTION:In Extremely Lightweight Guns: Poems\, Nikki Moustaki explores femininity in contexts that grapple with violence\, mental illness\, loss\, love\, and relationships. She probes these themes through various provocative narratives\, settings\, and forms\, from prose to diary-like entries. In her debut collection Tortillera: Poems\, Caridad Moro-Gronlier not only applies the homophobic Spanish-language term for lesbians to herself\, she owns it\, drapes it over her shoulders and heralds her truth through candid\, unflinching poems that address the queer experience of coming out while Cuban. Moderated by Richard Blanco\, author of How to Love a Country. \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
