SUMMARY:Keith Flynn & Sebastian Matthews Virtual Event\, Dec. 5th
DESCRIPTION:https://www.citylightsnc.com/event/keith-flynn-sebastian-matthews-virtual-event \nJoin [city lights bookstore] on Saturday\, December 5th\, at 3 p.m. for a virtual event with Keith Flynn and Sebastian Matthews. The event will broadcast via Facebook Live [https://www.facebook.com/citylightsnc]  and will feature live readings of recent works by both authors. \nThe Skin of Meaning is award-winning poet Keith Flynn’s sixth and most wide-ranging collection\, seeking to find the tangible analogs and visceral meanings hidden behind the daily bombardment of digital information\, hoping to restore the mystery in our involvement with language. From the etymologies of pop culture\, history\, astronomy\, and rock and roll\, these poems fan out into a bold multiplicity of voices and techniques. Flynn’s work illustrates the meaning that is also created through tense collisions and is populated with figures in resistance to the status quo\, a gathering as varied as Caravaggio\, Nina Simone\, Gaudi\, Villon\, Wonder Woman\, and Manolete. The final section examines America’s fascination with violence and death\, revealing that “a human being in love with mystery is never finished.” This collection constantly challenges our assumptions about the world we think we see and is teeming with evidence of another invisible world bristling like an underground river beneath our feet. \nSebastian Matthews is the author of a memoir\, In My Father’s Footsteps\, and two books of poetry\, We Generous and Miracle Day. His hybrid collection of poetry and prose\, Beginner’s Guide to a Head-on Collision\, won the Independent Publishers Book Award’s silver medal. Matthews is also the author of the collage novel The Life & Times of American Crow and the memoir-in-essays Beyond Repair: Living in a Fractured State. \n  \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nSaturday\, December 5\, 2020 – 3:00pm [EST]\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nFacebook Live

SUMMARY:Brendan Constantine hosting a Poetry Workshop! "The Art of Getting It Wrong"
DESCRIPTION:Red Hen Author Brendan Constantine\, author of three works with the press is hosting a poetry workshop. This event starts December 9th\, and takes place over the next few weeks in January 2021!\n\n\nLos Angeles poet Brendan Constantine presents a special four-week poetry intensive for Beyond Baroque.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nIn this unusual class\, participants will liberate their strongest poetry by embracing its opposite. “Sometimes\, in order to strike gold\,” he says\, “you must dig through lots of mud. You must accept that no matter how skilled and experienced you may be\, your worst writing always lies ahead of you.” In addition to creating new poems\, students will discuss and explore the problems of saying the ‘unsayable.’ “We [poets] will never describe consciousness\, but we might be able to share it. And any job worth doing\, is worth doing badly.” \nBrendan Constantine is the author of four books of poetry. His work appears in many of the nation’s literary standards including Poetry\, Best American Poetry\, Poem A Day\, Prairie Schooner\, and Tin House. His most recent collections are ‘Dementia\, My Darling’ (2016 Red Hen Press) and ‘Bouncy Bounce’ (2018) a chapbook from Blue Horse Press. He has received support and commissions from the Getty Museum\, James Irvine Foundation\, and the National Endowment for the Arts. A popular performer\, Brendan has presented his work to audiences throughout the U.S. and Europe\, also appearing on NPR’s All Things Considered\, TED ED\, numerous podcasts\, and YouTube. He currently teaches at the Windward School. \n\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-art-of-getting-it-wrong-a-poetry-workshop-with-brendan-constantine-tickets-124633900351

SUMMARY:Vroman's Live - Alice Quinn\, Carol Muske Dukes\, Tommy Orange\, Rex Wilder\, & Ron Koertge present Together in a Sudden Strangeness: America's Poets Respond to the Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:“This is a virtual event and will take place on Crowdcast. Please register for FREE ahead of time to save your spot. \nEVENT LINK: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/g63q07gb \nIn this urgent outpouring of American voices\, our poets speak to us as they shelter in place\, addressing our collective fear\, grief\, and hope from eloquent and diverse individual perspectives. \nAs the novel coronavirus and its devastating effects began to spread in the United States and around the world\, Alice Quinn reached out to poets across the country to see if\, and what\, they were writing under quarantine. Moved and galvanized by the response\, the onetime New Yorker poetry editor and recent former director of the Poetry Society of America began collecting the poems arriving in her inbox\, assembling this various\, intimate\, and intricate portrait of our suddenly altered reality. In these pages\, we find poets grieving for relatives they are separated from or recovering from illness themselves\, attending to suddenly complicated household tasks or turning to literature for strength\, considering the bravery of medical workers or working their own shifts at the hospital\, and\, as the Black Lives Matter movement has swept the globe\, reflecting on the inequities in our society that amplify sorrow and demand our engagement. From fierce and resilient to wistful\, darkly humorous\, and emblematically reverent about the earth and the vulnerability of human beings in frightening times\, the poems in this collection find the words to describe what can feel unspeakably difficult and strange\, providing wisdom\, companionship\, and depths of feeling that enliven our spirits.
