SUMMARY:Michael Ondaatje presents A Year of Last Things (with Sonali Deraniyagala)
DESCRIPTION:OFFSITE EVENT: ST. JOSEPH’S UNIVERSITY\nTuesday\, April 2\, 7:30 PM\nMichael Ondaatje presents A Year of Last Things: Poems\nIn conversation with Sonali Deraniyagala\nTickets $28.00 (book included) \nGreenlight kicks off Poetry Month with a special event with Booker Prize winning author Michael Ondaatje: his long awaited return to poetry with the collection A Year of Last Things. In pieces that are sometimes witty\, sometimes moving\, and always wise\, we journey back through time by way of alchemical leaps\, unearthing writings by revered masters\, moments of shared tenderness\, and the abandoned landscapes we hold on to to rediscover the influence of every border crossed. Terrance Hayes writes “Each new book of Michael Ondaatje’s is a literary event\, but that is particularly true for his books of poetry… A Year of Last Things is a remarkable\, incomparable new collection.” Ondaatje discusses his work with fellow Sri Lanka native Sonali Deraniyagala (author of the memoir The Wave)\, followed by a book signing for A Year of Last Things.

SUMMARY:Michael Ondaatje: A Year of Last Things with Jordan Pavlin
DESCRIPTION:He learned again the breaking line’s breath-like leap… \nJoin Michael Ondaatje—Booker Prize-winning author of The English Patient\, Warlight\, Anil’s Ghost\, and other acclaimed works of fiction and memoir—as he reads from and discusses his new collection of poetry\, A Year of Last Things\, in conversation with Knopf editor-in-chief Jordan Pavlin. \n“In A Year of Last Things\, Ondaatje comes close to writing something like a timeless poem\, ‘a memory poem’ that reflects outside and inside time at the same moment\, recording the mercurial\, mysterious feeling of being alive\,” writes Terrance Hayes. “The poems become intimate\, unresolved stories\, loyal to feeling and presence\, the lyricism of dreams applied to narratives of lives and landscapes.” \nThis event is presented by the Authors Guild Foundation with support from the Academy of American Poets. \nPLEASE NOTE: All books will be pre-signed by Michael Ondaatje and available for sale after the event. There will be no signing line. \nRSVPs are encouraged but not required. Seating is limited and will be first come\, first served. There will be lots of standing room. Doors open at 5:30 pm.

SUMMARY:Nuar Alsadir and Claire Donato: Psychoanalysis and Poetry
DESCRIPTION:Psychoanalysis and poetry share a significant conceptual and practical terrain: both are committed to saying the unsayable and thinking the unthought; both pay excited attention to slips of the tongue and linguistic breakdown; both have a persistent investment in sustained listening and spaces of co-presence; and both generate contentious frictions between theory and practice. This evening assembles two writers who work within both poetry and psychoanalysis — Nuar Alsadir and Claire Donato — for a conversation\, reading\, and improvisational investigation into the psychoanalytic dimensions of poetry and the poetics of psychoanalysis. \nAnyone with a relationship to poetry and psychoanalysis is encouraged to attend: analysts\, analysands\, poets\, readers\, the broadly curious\, the hesitantly skeptical\, all are welcome. There will most likely be opportunities for attendees to participate in the inquiry if they are moved to do so. \nThis event will also be livestreamed for free on The Poetry Project’s YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:In-Store: Poetry Night w/ Leila Mottley & Tatiana Johnson-Boria
DESCRIPTION:woke up no light: \nA poignant and rousing debut book of poetry from the former Youth Poet Laureate of Oakland\, CA—the acclaimed\, best-selling author of the novel Nightcrawling \nLeila Mottley follows her trailblazing first novel with a perfectly pitched first collection of poems that demonstrate her spark and scope. woke up no light reckons with themes of reparations\, restitution\, and desire. Moving in sections from “girlhood” to “neighborhood” to “falsehood” to\, finally\, “womanhood\,” these poems are the breathing life of a Black girl as she grows into adulthood\, simultaneously youthful and profound. Each poem is a searing vignette\, capturing the dissonance of Black girlhood through visceral language. The collection is sharp and raw\, wise and rhythmic\, a combination that lights up each page. From unearthing histories to searching for ways to dream of a future in a world constantly on the brink of disaster\, Mottley sets forth personal and political revelation with piercing detail. \nwoke up no light confirms Leila Mottley’s arrival and demonstrates the enduring power of her voice—brave and distinctive and thoroughly her own. \nNocturne in Joy: \nTatiana Johnson-Boria’s Nocturne in Joy is an exercise in Black vulnerability through poetry. \nJohnson-Boria commands poetic forms flawlessly and fluently\, using the form to her advantage in poems like Another Death\, where the spacing between sentence fragments replicates the short anapestic breathing before death. With an unwavering voice turned towards the reality of growing up in a difficult childhood\, within a larger oppressive system fueled by racism\, sexism\, and violence; this staggering collection offers glasses for a sharp-edged glimpse into what it is to be raised from a Black girl into a Black woman\, and the trauma and healing born in the process. \nAbout the Authors: \nLeila Mottley is the author of the novel Nightcrawling\, an Oprah’s Book Club pick and a New York Times best seller. She is also the 2018 Oakland Youth Poet Laureate. She was born and raised in Oakland\, where she continues to live. \nTatiana Johnson-Boria is the author of the forthcoming book Nocturne in Joy (2023). Her writing explores identity\, trauma\, especially inherited trauma\, and what it means to heal. She’s a recipient of distinguished fellowships from The Massachusetts Cultural Council\, The MacDowell Residency\, The Brother Thomas Fund\, and others. She’s received honorable mention for the 2021 and 2020 Academy of American Poets Prize and is a 2017 Pushcart Prize nominee. Tatiana completed her MFA in Creative Writing at Emerson College and is a 2021 Tin House Scholar. She teaches at Emerson College\, GrubStreet\, Catapult\, and others. Find her work in or forthcoming at Ploughshares\, Kenyon Review\, Pleiades\, among others.

In its initial run\, WiB hosted virtual readings on Zoom during COVID-19 quarantine to raise funds for mutual aid organizations\, transnational relief efforts and bail funds. \nWord is Bond was created to harness solidarity and camaraderie among our communities\, emphasizing horizontal power structures and mutual aid\, and\, to paraphrase Bertolt Brecht\, “sing during the dark times about the dark times.” We’re excited to reboot this necessary series at Brooklyn Poets\, with r kay joining Lombardi as co-director. \nPrevious partners and sponsors include the Adroit Journal\, Gulf Coast and the Asian American Writers Workshop. Previously featured poets include Kaveh Akbar\, Ross Gay\, Hanif Abdurraqib\, Mahogany L. Browne\, Megan Fernandes\, Victoria Chang\, Hala Alyan and Shira Erlichman.
