SUMMARY:LLL Presents: Daphne Brooks and Tracy K. Smith In Conversation
DESCRIPTION:The award-winning Black feminist music critic Daphne Brooks takes us on an epic journey through radical sound from Bessie Smith to Beyoncé. She is joined by Pulitzer-Prize winning poet and former Poet Laureate of the U.S.\, Tracy K. Smith for a wide-ranging discussion of both acclaimed Black women musicians and overlooked Black feminist cultural workers who helped promote their music. Join us! \nTo register\, click here. \nDaphne A. Brooks explores more than a century of music archives to examine the critics\, collectors\, and listeners who have determined perceptions of Black women on stage and in the recording studio. How is it possible\, she asks\, that iconic artists such as Aretha Franklin and Beyoncé exist simultaneously at the center and on the fringe of the culture industry? \nLiner Notes for the Revolution offers a startling new perspective on these acclaimed figures — a perspective informed by the overlooked contributions of other Black women concerned with the work of their musical peers. Zora Neale Hurston appears as a sound archivist and a performer\, Lorraine Hansberry as a queer Black feminist critic of modern culture\, and Pauline Hopkins as America’s first Black female cultural commentator. Brooks tackles the complicated racial politics of blues music recording\, song collecting\, and rock and roll criticism. She makes lyrical forays into the blues pioneers Bessie Smith and Mamie Smith\, as well as fans who became critics\, like the record-label entrepreneur and writer Rosetta Reitz. In the twenty-first century\, pop superstar Janelle Monae’s liner notes are recognized for their innovations\, while celebrated singers Cécile McLorin Salvant\, Rhiannon Giddens\, and Valerie June take their place as cultural historians. \nWith an innovative perspective on the story of Black women in popular music (and who should rightly tell it) Liner Notes for the Revolution pioneers a long overdue recognition and celebration of Black female musicians as radical intellectuals. \nDaphne Brooks is Professor of African American Studies\, American Studies\, Women’s\, Gender and Sexuality Studies\, and Music at Yale University. She is the author of the award-winning Bodies in Dissent: Spectacular Performances of Race and Freedom\, 1850-1910\, and of Jeff Buckley’s Grace. Liner Notes is the first volume in a trilogy entitled Subterranean Blues: Black Women Sound Modernity. Tracy K. Smith was Poet Laureate of the U.S. from 2017 to 2019 and is the Chair of Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts\, where she also is Professor. She is the author of the memoir Ordinary Light and of four books of poetry\, the most recent of which are Wade in the Water and Life on Mars\, for which she received the 2012 Pulitzer Prize. \nThis event is cosponsored by the Princeton Public Library \, the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton University\, Princeton University Concerts\, and the African American Studies Department at Princeton.

SUMMARY:CMD Colloquium Series: Richard Blanco
DESCRIPTION:Richard Blanco is the fifth presidential inaugural poet in United States history — the first Latino\, immigrant\, and gay person to serve in that role. Born in Madrid to Cuban exile parents and raised in Miami\, the negotiation of cultural identity and place characterize his body of work. He is the author of the poetry collections Looking for the Gulf Motel\, Directions to the Beach of the Dead\, and City of a Hundred Fires; the poetry chapbooks Matters of the Sea\, One Today\, and Boston Strong; a children’s book of his inaugural poem\, “One Today\,” illustrated by Dav Pilkey; and Boundaries\, a collaboration with photographer Jacob Hessler. His latest book of poems\, How to Love a Country (Beacon Press\, 2019)\, both interrogates the American narrative\, past and present\, and celebrates the still unkept promise of its ideals. He has also authored the memoirs The Prince of Los Cocuyos: A Miami Childhood and For All of Us\, One Today: An Inaugural Poet’s Journey. Blanco’s many honors include the Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize from the University of Pittsburgh Press\, the PEN/Beyond Margins Award\, the Paterson Poetry Prize\, a Lambda Literary Award\, and two Maine Literary Awards. He has been a Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellow and received honorary doctorates from Macalester College\, Colby College\, and the University of Rhode Island. He has been featured on CBS Sunday Morning and NPR’s Fresh Air. The Academy of American Poets named him its first Education Ambassador in 2015. Blanco has continued to write occasional poems for organizations and events such as the re-opening of the U.S. embassy in Havana. He lives with his partner in Bethel\, ME. \nRegistration for this virtual event is required: https://cmd.princeton.edu/events/complaints-el-rio-grande
