SUMMARY:Nevertheless\, She Persisted: Feminist Poetry and the Power of the Femme
DESCRIPTION:A Generative Poetry Workshop led by Khalisa Rae\nLevel: All Levels \nThis is a generative writing workshop designed to help women and femme writers unleash the power locked within in them through exploring the work of poignant women writers. Feminist writers like Audre Lorde\, Maggie Nelson\, Dorothy Chan\, Patricia Smith use writing as a tool of expression\, resistance\, and movement building. We will explore how the femme-centered literary work questions the status quo and challenges all systems of oppression while deepening our feminist roots in knowledge. We will hone our writing skills to not only tap into an unsung voice\, but also generate work that moves\, mesmerizes\, and motivates conversation. \nWe will also explore ways in which women writers\, particularly women and femme writers of color have had to articulate their pain and erasure in unique ways\, and will practice emulating that in hopes of also finding a balm\, a shovel\, a sharp talent to claw ourselves out and back to light. \n + PLEASE NOTE This workshop will occur online via Zoom. Students do not need to create an account to participate\, but should test out Zoom before their class if they are first-time users. On Thursday\, April 28th from 5:30pm to 6:00pm\, MWPA staff will offer a tech help session on Zoom. Students are encouraged to attend the tech help session\, which usually takes only 5-10 minutes\, if they have any tech concerns\, use Zoom infrequently\, or simply would like to test their connection\, and those who do not are responsible for ensuring that they are able to use Zoom on their own. The week of the workshop\, students will be emailed a link that they may click to enter the test session and the class. \n+ REQUIRED EQUIPMENT A reliable\, fast internet connection (broadband wired or wireless (3G or 4G/LTE)\, speakers & a microphone (built-in or USB plug-in)\, and a webcam (built-in or USB plug-in). \nIf you would like to quickly and easily test your internet connection and your computer’s compatibility with Zoom\, click HERE. Full details on supported Operating Systems\, internet browsers\, and more can be found HERE. To download and familiarize yourself with Zoom\, click HERE.

SUMMARY:Kim Dower - I Wore This Dress Today for You\, Mom
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed for combining the accessible and profound\, Kim’s poems about motherhood are some of her most moving and disarmingly candid. \nI Wore This Dress Today for You\, Mom is an anthology of her poems on being a mother–childbirth to empty nest–as well as being a daughter with all the teenaged messiness\, drama and conflict\, to finally caring for one’s mother suffering from dementia. \nCulled from her four collections as well as a selection of new work\, these poems\, heartbreaking\, funny\, surprising\, and touching\, explore the quirky\, unexpected observations\, and bittersweet moments mothers and daughters share. These evocative poems do not glorify mothers\, but rather look under the hood of motherhood and explore the deep crevices and emotions of these impenetrable relationships: the love\, despair\, joy\, humor and gratitude that fills our lives. \nKim Dower\, Former City Poet Laureate of West Hollywood\, has published four highly acclaimed collections of poetry\, including the Gold Ippy Award winning collection Sunbathing on Tyrone Power’s Grave. She has been nominated for four Pushcarts\, is widely anthologized\, and teaches writing workshops for Antioch University\, the West Hollywood Library\, and UCLA Writer’s Extension.

SUMMARY:Changing Hands Bookstore Author Event
DESCRIPTION:Authors Karen Brennan\, Kate Gale\, and Cynthia Hogue present and celebrate their most recent releases at Changing Hands Phoenix. \nABOUT THE LIVE EVENT \n\nWe’re limiting attendance to allow for social distancing\, so registration via Eventbrite is required for admission.\nMasks are required.\n\nABOUT THE BOOKS \nAbout Television: A Memoir | Television is a fluid text that sometimes reads like poetry\, sometimes like prose\, while exploring classism\, ableism\, and feminism in a world defined by the advent of new media and\, for the author\, a privilege that often felt suffocating. \nAbout The Loneliest Girl | Who was more alone than Medusa? Raped in Athena’s temple\, transformed into a monster\, and banished into a cave\, Medusa may be the ultimate example of victim-blaming. In The Loneliest Girl\, Kate Gale creates a powerful alternative narrative for Medusa and for all women who have carried guilt and shame—for being a woman\, for not being enough\, for being a victim. She offers a narrative in which women are the makers of the world–in which women find their way out from the cave of the Cisthene and into a world where they determine their own destiny. \nAbout Distantly | This bilingual edition of Nicole Brossard’s lyrical poetry is a sequence of lush\, taut cityscapes. The poems comprise an evocative distillation of postmodern urban life with a sharp sense of cultural and gendered histories of violence and beauty and struggles for survival and intimacy. The cities in Brossard’s poems feel surreal\, and in them dwell survivors of “misfortunes\,” living in urban landscapes with their “gleaming debris” and “bridges\, ghats\, / rivers in a time of peace and torture.” \nABOUT THE AUTHORS\nKaren Brennan is the author of fiction\, poetry\, and nonfiction. A recipient of a National Endowment of the Arts fellowship and an AWP award\, she is Professor Emerita of English and Creative Writing at the University of Utah. Her stories\, poems\, and essays have been widely published in journals and magazines and have been included in anthologies from Norton\, Penguin\, Graywolf\, Georgia\, Michigan (among others) as well as The Best Small Fictions\, 2017 and An Anthology of Contemporary XXperimental Women Writers (Spuyten Duyvil). Since 1991\, she has served as core faculty for the Warren Wilson MFA Program for Writers. Television\, a memoir is her eighth book. \nKate Gale is co-founder and Managing Editor of Red Hen Press\, and Editor of the Los Angeles Review. She teaches in the Low Residency MFA program at the University of Nebraska in Poetry\, Fiction and Creative Non-Fiction. In addition to The Loneliest Girl\, she is the author of seven books of poetry\, including The Goldilocks Zone (U of NM Press\, 2014) and Echo Light (Red Mountain P\, 2014). \nCynthia Hogue’s most recent collections are Revenance (2014) and In June the Labyrinth (2017). Her tenth collection\, instead\, it is dark\, will be out from Red Hen Press in 2023. Distantly by Nicole Brossard is her third co-translated volume.
