SUMMARY:Nora Treatbaby & Mohammed Zenia Siddiq Yusef Ibrahim
DESCRIPTION:In torqued sentences\, detourned phrases\, philosophical excavations and punishing satire\, Nora Treatbaby and Mohammed Zenia Siddiq Yusef Ibrahim make war on the real world. Our Air\, Treatbaby’s full-length debut (Nightboat\, 2024)\, builds on the titular promise of her chapbook Hope Is Weird. Zenia’s bitterly ironic Tel Aviv (Porosity Press\, 2021) urges a fierce opposition to the fatal logic of the present. Together\, they extend the poetic language of political militancy. \nFeaturing a guest introduction by Kaur Alia Ahmed \nThis event will also be livestreamed for free on The Poetry Project’s YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Rowan Ricardo Phillips presents Silver\, in conversation with Henri Cole
DESCRIPTION:RSVP Required \n\nRowan Ricardo Phillips’s fourth collection is a book as lustrous as the metal of its title. \nThis beautiful\, slender collection—small and weighted like a coin—is Rowan Ricardo Phillips at his very best. These luminous\, unsparing\, dreamlike poems are as lyrical as they are virtuosic. “Not the meaning\,” Phillips writes\, “but the meaningfulness of this mystery we call life” powers these poems as they conjure their prismatic array of characters\, textures\, and moods. As it reverberates through several styles (blank verse\, elegy\, terza rima\, rhyme royal\, translation\, rap)\, Silver reimagines them with such extraordinary vision and alluring strangeness that they sound irrepressibly fresh and vibrant. From beginning to end\, Silver is a collection that reflects Phillips’s guiding principle—“part physics\, part faith\, part void”—that all is reflected in poetry and poetry is reflected in all. \nThis is work that brings into acute focus the singular and glorious power of poetry in our complex world. \n“A collection to ponder in wonder.” —Michael Ruzicka\, Booklist \n“Musical and erudite\, the latest from Phillips offers an extended ars poetica in which poetry is ‘a ritual that the sun organizes/ and arranges’ . . . Readers will take pleasure in this poetical flowering.” —Publishers Weekly \n\n\nAbout the Authors: \nRowan Ricardo Phillips is most recently the author of Living Weapon. His next book\, Silver\, will be published this March. He is a Distinguished Professor of English at Stony Brook University\, President of the Board of Directors of The New York Institute of the Humanities\, and the poetry editor of The New Republic. \n\n\nHenri Cole was born in Fukuoka\, Japan\, to a French mother and an American father. He has published ten previous collections of poetry and received many awards\, including the Jackson Poetry Prize\, the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award\, the Rome Prize\, the Berlin Prize\, the Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize\, and the Award of Merit Medal in Poetry from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He has also published Orphic Paris\, a memoir. He lives in Boston\, Massachusetts\, and teaches at Claremont McKenna College. \n

Written in the early 1970s\, the publication contains thirteen chapters of handwritten micro-fictions filled with cringeworthy stories unfolding in San Francisco and beyond. \nA related exhibition of works on paper by Martin Wong and Toronto-based artist Paul P. will open at PPOW on Friday\, March 15\, 6-8pm at 390 Broadway\, Floor 2

SUMMARY:An Evening with Terrance Hayes
DESCRIPTION:Writer Terrance Hayes takes the Guggenheim stage to deliver an evening of poetry readings from his two newest books\, So to Speak and Watch Your Language. Hayes will discuss how poetry and language can serve as powerful tools to process or challenge abstraction. \nSo to Speak and Watch Your Language are companion texts combining poetry\, sketches\, and illustrated essays to consider the influence and exchange among history\, visual art\, and the written word\, not just in their creation\, but also in their shared potential to help shape our sense of self and the world––a concept explored throughout the year as part of the Guggenheim’s annual Poet-in-Residence initiative. The program will include an introduction to and reading by the newly selected 2024 Poet-in-Residence\, Meg Day. \n$30\, $25 members\, $20 students with valid ID.
