SUMMARY:In Conversation: On Confronting Prejudice\, Racism\, and Bigotry
DESCRIPTION:When Özlem Cekic became the first Muslim MP in the Danish Parliament\, her email inbox was hit with a deluge of hate mail and threats\, and her gut reaction was to delete every abusive message. But eventually\, she decided to take a risk. She started replying and inviting the senders to meet and engage in dialogue over coffee. And with time\, understanding\, and patience\, she began to make a difference\, both in the lives of those who hated her before even meeting her\, and in her own life. She’s chronicled that experience – and what she’s learned from it – in Overcoming Hate Through Dialogue: Confronting Prejudice\, Racism\, and Bigotry with Understanding – And Coffee. Eric Martin\, author of Your Leadership Moment: Democratizing Leadership in the Age of Authoritarianism\, joins her to talk about it; coffee is optional.

SUMMARY:Two Poets on Curiosities and Consciousness
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by her encounter with Dr. Chevalier Jackson’s collection of ingested curiosities at Philadelphia’s Mütter Museum\, Kimiko Hahn’s 10th collection\, Foreign Bodies\, investigates the grip that seemingly insignificant objects exert on our lives. Itself a cabinet of curiosities\, the collection provokes the same surprise\, wonder\, and pangs of recognition Hahn felt upon opening drawer after drawer of these swallowed and retrieved objects – a radiator key\, a child’s perfect attendance pin\, a mother-of-pearl button. The speaker of these moving poems sees reflections of these items in the heartbreaking detritus of her family home\, and in her long-dead mother’s Japanese jewelry. Foreign Bodies investigates the power of possession\, replete with Hahn’s electric originality and thrilling mastery of ever-changing forms. \nWith irony\, in mourning tinged with eros\, Rosanna Warren\, one of our most extraordinary poets\, blends the personal and the political to meditate on damage\, aging\, and injustice. The poems in So Forth surge back in memory\, pondering guilt and forgiveness. Consciousness flows from singular to plural; identity in these poems does a round dance with other personae\, with formidable women artists of the past in the powerful sequence “Legende of Good Women\,” with pre-Socratic philosophers\, and with lovers\, children\, and strangers – the strangest of whom is the face in the mirror. In response to griefs both historical and contemporary\, So Forth contemplates the quest for the holy and traditions of the sacred. \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:African American Poetry: 250 Years of Struggle & Song
DESCRIPTION:African American Poetry: 250 Years of Struggle & Song is a literary landmark: the biggest\, most ambitious anthology of Black poetry ever published\, gathering 250 poets from the colonial period to the present. Only now\, in the 21st century\, can we fully grasp the breadth and range of African American poetry: a magnificent chorus of voices\, some familiar\, others recently rescued from neglect. Here\, in this unprecedented anthology expertly selected by poet and scholar Kevin Young\, this precious living heritage is revealed in all its power\, beauty\, and multiplicity. \nDiscover\, in these pages\, how an enslaved person like Phillis Wheatley confronted her legal status in verse and how an antebellum activist like Frances Ellen Watkins Harper voiced her own passionate resistance to slavery. Read nuanced\, provocative poetic meditations on identity and self-assertion stretching from Paul Laurence Dunbar to Amiri Baraka to Lucille Clifton and beyond. Experience the transformation of poetic modernism in the works of figures such as Langston Hughes\, Fenton Johnson\, and Jean Toomer. Understand the threads of poetic history – in movements such as the Harlem and Chicago Renaissances\, Black Arts\, Cave Canem\, and the Dark Room Collective – and the complex bonds of solidarity and dialogue among poets across time and place. See how these poets have celebrated their African heritage and connected with other communities in the African Diaspora. Enjoy the varied but distinctly Black music of a tradition that draws deeply from jazz\, hip-hop\, and the rhythms and cadences of the pulpit\, the barbershop\, and the street. And appreciate\, in the anthology’s concluding sections\, why contemporary African American poetry\, amply recognized in recent National Book Awards and Poet Laureates\, is flourishing as never before. Taking the measure of the tradition in a single indispensable volume\, African American Poetry: 250 Years of Struggle and Song sets a new standard for a genuinely deep engagement with Black poetry and its essential expression of American genius. \nModerated by Campbell McGrath\, Nouns & Verbs: New and Selected Poems.

SUMMARY:Inside the world of Kenny & the Book of Beasts
DESCRIPTION:Grades 3 – 7 \nIn this highly anticipated sequel to Tony DiTerlizzi’s Kenny & the Dragon\, Kenny must cope with many changes in his life – including the fear that he’s losing his best friend. What can come between two best friends? Time has passed since Kenny Rabbit’s last adventure with his best friend\, the legendary dragon Grahame\, and a lot has changed in the sleepy village of Roundbrook. For starters\, Kenny has a whole litter of baby sisters. His friends are at different schools and Sir George is off adventuring. At least Kenny still has his very best friend\, Grahame. That’s before Dante arrives. Dante is a legendary manticore and an old friend of Grahame’s. Old friends spend a lot of time catching up. And that catching up does not involve Kenny. But there’s a witch to defeat\, a pal to rescue\, and a mysterious book to unlock. And those are quests for best friends\, not old friends. Right? \nModerated by Angela DiTerlizzi

SUMMARY:Grabbed: Poets & Writers on Sexual Assault\, Empowerment & Healing
DESCRIPTION:Live Q&A: Friday\, November 20 @ 7:00 – 7:30 p.m. EST\nThe 21st century has brought unprecedented evidence of the prevalence of sexual abuse and assault. Finally\, the world is beginning to recognize the depraved and hypocritical actions of celebrities\, politicians\, CEOs\, and Hollywood moguls. People everywhere are speaking out in outrage\, to express support for the survivors of the assaults\, and to raise their voices against a culture that has allowed this behavior to continue for too long. \nThe editors of this gender-inclusive anthology asked writers and poets to contribute pieces about what being “grabbed” means to each of them. The result is a collection of emotional works in prose and poetry addressing a range of injustices including all forms of sexual misconduct – from an unwanted caress to rape. The writers represented here have mined their collective experiences to reveal their most vulnerable moments – for some\, these are stories that have never been shared before. In reading this book\, we understand what it means to be “grabbed” emotionally\, psychologically\, and physically. In the aftermath of violation\, we take a moment to hold humanity in our own hands. \nSponsored by:
