SUMMARY:Poetry Readings from Promise and Fair Sun
DESCRIPTION:Sally Van Doren and Susan Barba — Poetry Readings from ‘Promise’ and ‘Fair Sun’\nTuesday\, November 7th\, 2017 at 6PM — Labyrinth Books \nTwo important contemporary poets will be reading from their new collections at the store; please join us. \nVan Doren’s Promise features a series of short lyric poems\, contemplative vignettes of daily life that examine friendship\, marriage\, and family with a veneer of playfulness. These poems take us into a space where a year is compressed into minutes and a small trickle of memory floods the mind. Van Doren\, a visual artist as well as a poet\, composes word collages that help us touch the promise underneath the surface and to make sense of the senseless. \nThe three interrelated sections of poetry in Fair Sun explore the primary importance of connection\, both with other human beings and with the natural world. In the first section\, poems explore the acquisition of language. There are poems that enact the sudden possibilities of speech\, the complexities of translation\, the bewilderment of the bilingual speaker\, both fluent and tongue-tied. The second section consists of a series of prose poems titled “Andranik.” In these poems\, a child is speaking with her grandfather who relates the details of his survival during the Armenian Genocide: his escape\, the murder of his father\, the suicide of his sister\, the death of his best friend\, forced marches\, enslavement – all punctuated by memories of an earlier boyhood spent chasing ducks\, swimming in the river\, sleeping on mats under the stars. The final section contains shorter lyric poems that explore the proximity of life and death\, the complicity and interdependency of the individual in the collective\, and the redemptive possibilities of sympathy. \nSally Van Doren is an American poet and visual artist. She was awarded the 2007 Walt Whitman Award from the Academy of American Poets for her first collection of poems\, Sex At Noon Taxes. Her book prior to Promise is Possessive. Susan Barba’s writing has appeared in Poetry\, Raritan\, The Hudson Review\, The Yale Review\, Harvard Review\, Boston Review\, Words Without Borders and elsewhere. She is a senior editor for New York Review Books.

SUMMARY:Langston’s Salvation: American Religion and the Bard of Harlem
DESCRIPTION:Wallace Best & Judith Weisenfeld in Conversation — Langston’s Salvation: American Religion and the Bard of Harlem\nThursday\, November 9th\, 2017 at 6PM — Labyrinth Books \nLabyrinth Books and Princeton University’s Departments of Religion and African American Studies invite you to help kick off a 2-day conference on Langston Hughes (details) with a celebration of conference organizer and acclaimed scholar Wallace Best’s new book on Hughes: a new perspective on the role of religion in the poet’s work. He will be joined in conversation by Professor Judith Weisenfeld. \nLangston’s Salvation offers a fascinating exploration into the religious thought of Langston Hughes. Known for his poetry\, plays\, and social activism\, the importance of religion in Hughes’ work has historically been ignored or dismissed. This book puts this aspect of Hughes work front and center\, placing it into the wider context of twentieth-century American and African American religious cultures. Best brings to life the religious orientation of Hughes’s work\, illuminating how this powerful figure helped to expand the definition of African American religion during this time. He argues that contrary to popular perception\, Hughes was neither an avowed atheist nor unconcerned with religious matters. He demonstrates that Hughes’s religious writing helps to situate him and other black writers as important participants in a broader national discussion about race and religion in America. \nThrough a rigorous analysis that includes attention to Hughes’s unpublished religious poems\, Langston’s Salvation reveals new insights into Hughes’s body of work\, and demonstrates that while Hughes is seen as one of the most important voices of the Harlem Renaissance\, his writing also needs to be understood within the context of twentieth-century American religious liberalism and of the larger modernist movement. Combining historical and literary analyses with biographical explorations of Langston Hughes as a writer and individual\, Langston’s Salvation opens a space to read Hughes’s writing religiously\, in order to fully understand the writer and the world he inhabited. \nWallace D. Best is Professor of Religion and African American Studies at Princeton University. He is the author of Passionately Human\, No Less Divine: Religion and Culture in Black Chicago\, 1915-1952. Judith Weisenfeld is Professor of Religion at Princeton University Acting Chair of the Program in American Studies. She is the author of New World A-Coming: Black Religion and Religious Identity during the Great Migration\, of Hollywood Be They Name: African American Relgion in American Film\, and of African American Women and Christian Activism.

Please join us.\n\nMiller Oberman’s original poems and translations from Old English\, The Unstill Ones\, takes readers into a timeless\, shadow-filled world where new poems sound ancient\, and ancient poems sound new. Elena Rivera’s Scaffolding is a sequence of eighty-two sonnets written over the course of a year\, vividly reflecting life in New York City. Guided by formal and syllabic constraints\, the poems become in part an exploration of how form affects content and how other poets have approached the sonnet. Full event details.\n\nMiller Oberman has received a number of awards for his poetry\, including a Ruth Lilly Fellowship\, a 92Y Discovery Prize\, and Poetry magazine’s John Frederick Nims Memorial Prize for Translation. Eléna Rivera is a poet and translator.
