SUMMARY:The Perhaps Unexpected: Alexis Pauline Gumbs & Rosamond S. King (In Person)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for “The Perhaps Unexpected\,” a reading and conversation with Dr. Alexis Pauline Gumbs and Dr. Rosamond S. King\, two poets whose work is rooted in critical engagement with the real and gives rise to radical imaginaries. \nRecognized for their finely calibrated environments and richly interdependent publics\, small island nations find themselves on the frontlines of climate change. Island responses to climate breakdown furnish activists\, policy makers\, and political leaders around the world with social\, environmental\, and civic tools to develop mitigation\, adaptation\, and planning that prioritizes human and more-than-human resilience. Seeding more than survival\, surrounded by vast marine territories\, island nations offer glimpses of alterity that inspire art\, creative writing\, critical theory\, and policy application fundamental to understanding – and escaping – the colonialist\, capitalistic\, and catastrophic logics of our time. Few writers are better known for their capacity to see\, perceive\, and expand our understanding of the rich interplay between land and sea\, center and periphery\, island\, mainland\, and the maritime territories in between than Dr. Alexis Pauline Gumbs and Dr. Rosamond S. King. \nFree and open to the public. This event will take place in-person in Elebash Recital Hall\, CUNY Graduate Center\, 365 Fifth Ave\, NYC. Please register here to to attend in-person. The event will be followed by a reception with refreshments and books by the authors. \nAbout the Authors \nAlexis Pauline Gumbs is an activist\, critic\, poet\, scholar\, and educator. A self-described “Queer Black Troublemaker and Black Feminist Love Evangelist\,” Gumbs is the author of Undrowned: Black Feminist Lessons from Marine Mammals\, Dub: Finding Ceremony\, M Archive: After the End of the World\, and Spill: Scenes of Black Feminist Fugitivity\, and co-editor of Revolutionary Mothering: Love on the Frontlines. She holds a PhD in English\, African and African American Studies\, and Women and Gender Studies from Duke University and is the co founder of Black Feminist Film School\, an initiative to screen\, study\, and produce films with a Black feminist ethic. She lives in Durham\, North Carolina\, and is currently at work on The Eternal Life of Audre Lorde\, a biography of Audre Lorde. \nCritical and creative writer and performer Rosamond S. King draws on reality to present non-literal\, culturally and politically engaged interpretations of African diaspora experiences. Her book Island Bodies: Transgressive Sexualities in the Caribbean Imagination was named “Best Book” by the Caribbean Studies Association. \nKing’s poetry collections include All the Rage and the Lambda Award-winning Rock | Salt | Stone. Her essays have appeared in LitHub\, the Ms. blog\, Sargasso\, The Progressive\, The Caribbean Review of Gender Studies\, and elsewhere. She has performed at biennales\, festivals\, bookstores\, and other venues around the world and in cyberspace. \nKing is the Carol L. Zicklin Honors Academy Chair and Professor of English at Brooklyn College\, CUNY. \n

SUMMARY:Poetry Is Not a Luxury Day 2: Poetic License
DESCRIPTION:In this second day of the Poetry Is Not a Luxury program\, entitled Poetic License\, poets and artists will share new work\, work in-progress\, and artistic reflections that express Lorde’s conviction that “poetry is not a luxury.” Featuring panel discussions\, poetry readings\, and performances\, the day will be interspersed with moments of grounding and personal reflection alongside pauses for inter-audience dialogue and connection. \nGrounded in the sentiment of Audre Lorde’s 1977 essay “Poetry Is Not a Luxury\,” this two-day gathering brings contemporary artists and poets together with museum audiences to explore poetry’s ability to invoke sensuality\, caesura\, and care. Designed by 2023 Poet-in-Residence Ama Codjoe\, this convening of discussion and exchange will illuminate poetry’s role in enabling humans to imagine\, dream\, and craft the kind of language that precipitates political action\, communal nurturing\, and social change. \nParticipants include Alexandra Bell\, Gabrielle Civil\, Alexis Pauline Gumbs\, Daria Simone Harper\, francine j. harris\, Omotara James\, Charleen McClure\, Ladan Osman\, Nicole Sealey\, Evie Shockley\, Lyrae Van Clief-Stefanon\, and Robyne Walker Murphy. A schedule will be posted in the fall. \nFree with RSVP. Registration is required. Please note that seating is limited and admittance is first-come\, first served. Registration does not guarantee entry once capacity is reached. \nThis program will be interpreted in ASL.

SUMMARY:JJJJJerome Ellis
DESCRIPTION:A reading\, live music\, & visual art presentation \nWhat is the relationship between fleeing and feeling? How can the voices of those who came before – and the stutters that leaven those voices – carry into our present moment\, mingling with our own? JJJJJerome Ellis’s Aster of Ceremonies asks what rites we need now and how poetry\, astir in the asters\, can help them along.  Extending the vision of his debut book and album\, The Clearing\, a “lyrical celebration of and inquiry into the intersections of blackness\, music\, and disabled speech” (Claudia Rankine)\, Ellis rewrites history\, creating a world that blooms backward\, reimagining what it means for Black and disabled people to have taken\, and to continue to take\, their freedom. Greenlight invites you to join us in welcoming JJJJJerome to our event stage where we can gather and heal. \nClick here to RSVP for this in-store event!

SUMMARY:Brooklyn Poets Book Launch: Alyson Gold Weinberg
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch of poet Alyson Gold Weinberg’s debut poetry collection\, Bellow & Hiss\, on Wednesday\, November 15\, at 144 Montague St and via Zoom! Doors will open for in-person guests at 6 PM and the reading will begin at 7 PM. Book signing to follow. \nNote that by attending this event\, you agree to abide by our code of conduct and COVID-19 policy. We strongly encourage all attendees to wear masks (regardless of vaccination status) except readers at a safe distance on stage. Brooklyn Poets reserves the right to dismiss from our programs any participant found to be in violation of this code. Thank you for respecting our community. \nAbout Bellow & Hiss \n“Riding shotgun with Oedipus\, your mother\, and the pothole in your heart\,” Bellow & Hiss navigates generational suffering and hurtles headlong toward reverie. The collection’s knowing “I” interrogates the dark gift of childhood trauma\, the nature of family\, and the weaving together of identity. Bellow & Hiss asks: “Have you ever been properly pruned? A love equation carved into your skin?” What does it mean to bear fruit from rotten seeds? Tucked among the branches and brambles of this collection are revelations about growing up and upward\, spiritual endurance\, and the art of creating oneself.

Morton Prize in Poetry\, selected by Terrance Hayes. \nThe debut collection from Simon Shieh\, Master is a stark\, surreal\, and imagistic reckoning with a traumatic past. Master follows the speaker’s struggle with masculinity from a martial arts school in upstate New York to a boxing academy in Beijing. Language emerges in this collection not as a neutral witness to a boy’s subjugation\, but as the very tool of hegemony\, though one which also holds the key to its own undoing\, and therefore to freedom. \nAs much as Master is the story of pain\, it is also a journey to healing\, illuminating that while violence can be our patrimony\, it does not have to be our destiny. \nAbout the Authors \nSimon Shieh is the author of Master (Sarabande Books)\, selected by Terrance Hayes for the Kathryn A. Morton Prize. He has lived in upstate New York and Beijing\, China\, where he co-founded Spittoon Literary Magazine\, which translates the best new Chinese writing into English.

His poetry has been recognized with a National Endowment for the Arts Literature Fellowship and a Ruth Lilly and Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Fellowship from the Poetry Foundation. He lives in the U.S. with his wife\, Charlotte\, and their dog\, Momo. \nAma Codjoe is the author of Bluest Nude (Milkweed Editions\, 2022)\, finalist for the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Poetry and the Paterson Poetry Prize\, and Blood of the Air (Northwestern University Press\, 2020)\, winner of the Drinking Gourd Chapbook Poetry Prize.
