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. Moderated by Caridad Moro-Gronlier of Supporting Women Writers in Miami (SWWIM). \nSponsored by                                                                                               \n \n  \n  \nIn partnership with

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: Pablo Medina & Achy Obejas
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

SUMMARY:2020 National Poetry series Winner Devon Walker-Figueroa
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 Devon Walker-Figueroa on Philomath: Poems\, in conversation with the judge who selected her manuscript\, Sally Keith\, River House: Poems. An explorer at the edge of the sublime\, Devon Walker-Figueroa writes in quiet awe of nature\, of memory\, and of a beauty that is “merely existence carrying on and carrying on.” In her wanderings\, she guides readers toward a kind of witness that doesn’t flinch from the bleak or bizarre: A vineyard engulfed in flames is reclaimed by the fields. A sow smothers its young\, then bears more. A neighbor chews locusts in his yard. Philomath is a ruminative catalogue of overgrowth and the places that haunt us. With a special introduction by Daniel Halpern\, founder of HarperCollins imprint Ecco and the National Poetry Series. \nSponsored by

SUMMARY:2020 National Poetry Series Winner Teresa K. Miller
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 Teresa K. Miller on Borderline Fortune\, in conversation with the judge who selected her manuscript\, Carol Muske-Dukes\, Twin Cities. Borderline Fortune is a meditation on intangible family inheritance – of unresolved intergenerational conflicts and traumas in particular – set against the backdrop of our planetary inheritance as humans. As species go extinct and glaciers melt\, Miller asks what we owe one another and what it means to echo one’s ancestors’ grief and fear. Drawing on her family history\, from her great-grandfather’s experience as a schoolteacher on an island in the Bering Strait to her father’s untimely death\, as well as her pursuit of regenerative horticulture\, Miller seeks through these beautifully crafted poems to awaken from the intergenerational trance and bear witness to our current moment with clarity and attention. With a special introduction by Daniel Halpern\, founder of HarperCollins imprint Ecco and the National Poetry Series. \nSponsored by                                                                                               \n \n

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: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

SUMMARY:Jan Beatty: A Reading from The Body Wars: Poems
DESCRIPTION:Live Q&A: Sunday\, November 22 @ 1:00 p.m.\nWhat would it take to be home in one’s body\, to walk around the world as oneself\, knowing the pain within and without us? In The Body Wars\, Jan Beatty boldly answers that question by making a fire map of the body. These roiling poems smack into walls of meditation\, only to slide down the smooth concrete into the flatline of joy. These are vital poems of dimension\, of both psychic and literal travel\, of the elasticity of truth and struggle\, of the daily nature of desire that brings us to our knees—then shotguns us back to the heart’s center. \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:The Hero’s Journey: Two Poets on Reconfiguring the Lyric
DESCRIPTION:The poems of award-winning poet Yona Harvey’s much anticipated You Don’t Have to Go to Mars for Love follow an unnamed protagonist on her multidimensional\, Afro-futuristic journey. Her story stretches the boundaries normally constraining a Black female body like hers. Half superhero\, half secret identity\, she encounters side-slipping\, speculative realities testing her in poems that appear like the panels of a comic book. Music directs readers through large and small emotional arcs\, constantly re-troubled by lyric experimentation. Harvey layers her poems with a chorus of women’s voices. Our hero gets captured\, escapes\, scuba dives\, and goes interstellar\, and she emerges on the other end of her journey renewed\, invoking the gods. \nInspired by Albert Camus’s seminal Myth of Sisyphus\, Major Jackson’s fifth volume\, The Absurd Man\, subtly configures the poet as “absurd hero” and plunges headfirst into a search for stable ground in an unstable world. We follow Jackson’s restless\, vulnerable speaker as he ponders creation in the face of meaninglessness\, chronicles an increasingly technological world and the difficulty of social and political unity\, probes a failed marriage\, and grieves his lost mother with a stunning\, lucid lyricism. \nSponsored by:

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: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:

SUMMARY:Jane Hirshfield: A Reading From Ledger: Poems
DESCRIPTION: Live: Friday\, November 20 @ 5:00 p.m. EST with Q&A immediately following \nLedger: Poem‘s pages hold the most important and masterly work yet by Jane Hirshfield\, one of our most celebrated contemporary poets. From the already much-quoted opening lines of despair and defiance (“Let them not say: we did not see it. / We saw”)\, Hirshfield’s poems inscribe a registry\, both personal and communal\, of our present-day predicaments. They call us to deepened dimensions of thought\, feeling\, and action. They summon our responsibility to sustain one another and the earth while pondering\, acutely and tenderly\, the crises of refugees\, justice\, and climate. They consider “the minimum mass for a whale\, for a language\, an ice cap\,” recognize the intimacies of connection\, and meditate upon doubt and contentment\, a library book with previously dog-eared corners\, the hunger for surprise\, and the debt we owe this world’s continuing beauty. Hirshfield’s signature alloy of fact and imagination\, clarity and mystery\, inquiry\, observation\, and embodied emotion has created a book of indispensable poems by a “modern master” (Washington Post). \nSponsored by:
