SUMMARY:Dennis Cooper & Derek McCormack
DESCRIPTION:If Dennis Cooper has a long history of involvement with The Poetry Project community\, Derek McCormack feels as if he ought to. McCormack’s The Well-Dressed Wound turns fashion designer Martin Margiela into the Devil; his Castle Faggot stars a Count Chocula-like villain in a scat amusement park filled with the bodies of decomposing gays. In his novels\, short stories\, poetry and films\, Cooper’s sentences stage both scarcely imaginable and terrifyingly familiar human relationships\, at the edge of possible language and intimacy. The Poetry Project is thrilled to welcome both to our stage this October 2 in the Sanctuary at St. Mark’s. \nFeaturing guest introductions by Sam Max and David Velasco. \nTickets to this special event are $15 in advance or $20 at the door. Please join us at 7:30 pm for a reception before the reading! \nThis event will also be livestreamed for free on The Poetry Project’s YouTube channel.

NourbeSe Philip calls Kearney’s collection of libretti\, Someone Took They Tongues. (Subito\, 2016)\, “a seismic\, polyphonic mash-up that disturbs the tongue.” Kearney’s collection of writing on poetics and performativity\, Mess and Mess and (Noemi Press\, 2015)\, was a Small Press Distribution Handpicked Selection that Publisher’s Weekly called “an extraordinary book.”  Starts Spinning (Rain Taxi)\, a chapbook of poetry\, saw publication in 2019.

SUMMARY:New Works: Mark Doty and Emily Hyland
DESCRIPTION:In-person | Tuesday | October 22 | 7-9pm | Free with RSVP \nDiscover a new collection on divorce and renewal during a reading with Mark Doty and Emily Hyland. In celebration of Hyland’s debut poetry collection\, Divorced Business Partners (Howling Bird Press\, 2024)\, friends Doty and Hyland will discuss their mentorship and reflect on connection and loss in their respective poetry. \nDivorced Business Partners is a love story that follows the tender\, brutal\, routine\, awkward and aching unraveling of a marriage. While building what would become a successful restaurant\, Hyland maps the disintegration of the couple’s primal bond. Her evocative narrative voice and unvarnished portrayals reveal the power of poetry to lead us inward. How does grief find us in the smallest moments? What is family when it’s broken? This vivid portrait reflects the jagged path of divorce leading unexpectedly to a new kind of relationship. \nReadings in Kray Hall with a reception to follow in the Viscusi Reading Room. \nAbout the Poets: \nMark Doty has published ten books of poems\, including Fire to Fire: New & Selected Poems\, which won the National Book Award for Poetry in 2008.

He has taught in creative writing programs at Stanford\, Princeton\, Iowa\, Columbia and New York University. He retired from Rutgers this year\, and lives in the Hudson River Valley. \nEmily Hyland’s debut collection\, Divorced Business Partners\, is forthcoming with Howling Bird Press in October 2024.
