SUMMARY:In Conversation: Contemplating a Paradise Lost
DESCRIPTION:Through a series of short memoirs\, Laura Valeri’s After Life as a Human visits Dog Island\, a remote\, amenity-deprived\, hurricane-prone islet where pelicans rule\, residents are resourceful\, and human ambition is suspect. With uncanny observation and lyrical reflection\, these essays explore the persistence\, fragility\, and connectedness of life on the island and off. Valeri masterfully links local history\, environmental research\, and spiritual meditations to reflect on the island’s wild beauty\, while coming to terms with the heartbreaking destruction of its fragile ecology. Sandra Beasley\, author of four poetry collections\, including the forthcoming Made to Explode\, joins her in her musings. \nSponsored by

SUMMARY:Panel: The Fight for Justice & Truth
DESCRIPTION:Grades 9 – 12 \nIntroduced by the Miami-Dade County Teen Court. \nPunching the Air\, a novel-in-verse by Ibi Zoboi and Yusef Salaam\, tells the story of Amal Shahid\, who has always been an artist and a poet.

Then one fateful night\, an altercation in a gentrifying neighborhood escalates into tragedy. “Boys just being boys” turns out to be true only when those boys are white. Suddenly\, at just 16 years old\, Amal’s bright future is upended: he is convicted of a crime he didn’t commit and sent to prison. Despair and rage almost sink him until he turns to the refuge of his words\, his art. This never should have been his story. But can he change it? \nIn Nic Stone’s Dear Justyce\, Vernell LaQuan Banks and Justyce McAllister grew up a block apart in the Southwest Atlanta neighborhood of Wynwood Heights. Years later\, though\, Justyce walks the illustrious halls of Yale University … and Quan sits behind bars at the Fulton Regional Youth Detention Center. Through a series of flashbacks\, vignettes\, and letters to Justyce – the protagonist of Dear Martin – Quan’s story takes form. Troubles at home and misunderstandings at school give rise to police encounters and tough decisions. But then there’s a dead cop and a weapon with Quan’s prints on it. What leads a bright kid down a road to a murder charge? Not even Quan is sure. \nFREE bonus download: Punching the Air Educators’ Guide \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:Jorie Graham: A Reading From Runaway: New Poems
DESCRIPTION:In her formidable and clairvoyant new collection Runaway\, Jorie Graham deepens her vision of our futurity. What of us will survive? Identity may be precarious\, but perhaps love is not?

SUMMARY:A Sinking Ship is Still a Ship
DESCRIPTION:In Ariel Francisco’s Miami\, invasive lionfish are sympathetic creatures\, the beach succumbs to sea-level rise\, and “305 till I die” is a cry for help. The speakers in these hilarious and melancholy poems depict a rich and varied emotional landscape that mirrors that of the state they long to leave\, dead or alive. They imagine themselves standing on ocean garbage patches\, contemplate the crabgrass on traffic medians\, and envision the new beauty of a submerged Miami Beach: “Famed art deco replaced by fire coral / and colorful parrot fish\, neon lights / restored by pulsating swarms of moon / jellyfish\, lit up like a Saturday night.” In one moment the strange becomes familiar\, only to become strange again in the next stanza. Taking inspiration from Campbell McGrath and Richard Blanco\, among others\, Francisco’s second book of poems\, A Sinking Ship is Still a Ship\, deals with climate change and the absurdities and difficulties of being a millennial Latinx in the Sunshine State. \nModerated by Ryan Rivas\, publisher of Burrow Press; with translator José Nicolás Cabrera-Schneider. \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:Two Poets on Reaching Across Borders
DESCRIPTION:Guillotine: Poems traverses desert landscapes cut through by migrants\, the grief of loss\, betrayal’s lingering scars\, the border itself – great distances in which violence and yearning find roots. Through the voices of undocumented immigrants\, border patrol agents\, and scorned lovers\, award-winning poet Eduardo C. Corral writes dramatic portraits of contradiction\, survival\, and a deeply human\, relentless interiority. With extraordinary lyric imagination\, these poems wonder about being unwanted or renounced. What do we do with unrequited love? Is it with or without it that we would waste away? \nA name for the people of Honduras\, Catrachos: Poems is a term of solidarity and resilience. In these unflinching\, riveting poems\, Roy G. Guzmán reaches across borders – between life and death and between countries – invoking the voices of the lost. Part immigration narrative\, part elegy\, and part queer coming-of-age story\, Catrachos finds its own religion in fantastic figures such as the X-Men\, pop singers\, and the “Queerodactyl\,” which is imagined in a series of poems as a dinosaur sashaying in the shadow of an oncoming comet\, insistent on surviving extinction. With exceptional energy\, humor\, and inventiveness\, Guzmán’s debut is a devastating display of lyrical and moral complexity – an introduction to an immediately captivating\, urgently needed voice. \nSponsored by: \n \nIn partnership with

SUMMARY:2019 National Poetry Series Winners
