SUMMARY:Poetry Reading: “Transhumance”

The center of Chimera engages with a three-year field research project on the goat-herding practices of a community of Vlachs\, a people of Northern Greece and the Southern Balkans who speak their own language and practice transhumance.

Three of her books have been published in English translated by Brian Sneeden: Homerica\, (World Poetry Books: 2017\, selected by Anne Carson as a Favorite Book of 2017 in the Paris Review of Books)\, Cicada\, (New Directions: 2022) and more recently\, Chimera (New Directions: 2024). An architect\, Phoebe Giannisi holds a PhD in Classics (Lyon II- Lumière)\, published as Récits des Voies. Chant et Cheminement en Grèce archaïque\,(Grenoble: 2008).

We miss him terribly and look forward to this opportunity to memorialize him through his own poetry and our recollections of his brilliance and generosity.” Billy Joe Harris\, Erica Hunt\, and Aldon Lynn Nielsen will read selections from Tyrone’s work and offer remembrances and remarks.

SUMMARY:New Works: Joan Larkin and Alicia Ostriker
DESCRIPTION:Engage with new poems on feminism and humanity from lauded poets Joan Larkin and Alicia Ostriker. \nJoan Larkin’s latest\, Old Stranger: Poems (Alice James Books\, 2024)\, reckons with all of the moments that shape a woman’s life\, and the many shapes a woman’s life can take—from mother to daughter to trauma survivor to feminist—asking the reader to contend with whether we can ever truly know ourselves: the other in the mirror. Alicia Ostriker‘s The Holy & Broken Bliss (Alice James Books\, 2024) wrestles with mortality and marriage in the face of plagues—literal and figurative—while also celebrating life’s tenderness. Grounded in the rituals of the living in a world shattered by a global pandemic\, by racism\, and by human suffering\, the observant and urgent poems in this collection contemplate free will\, self-control\, and self-commodification alongside small\, daily joys and a quest for the divine. \nReadings in Kray Hall with a reception to follow in the Viscusi Reading Room. \nAbout the Poets: \nJoan Larkin is the author of five previous poetry collections\, including Blue Hanuman and My Body: New and Selected Poems. She has received the Audre Lorde Award\, the Lambda Literary Award. She co-founded Out & Out Books during the 1970s feminist literary explosion\, co-edited four anthologies\, including Gay and Lesbian Poetry in Our Time\, and has been a lifelong teacher. Larkin has been awarded fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the New York Foundation for the Arts\, the Academy of American Poets\, and the Massachusetts Cultural Council. She received the 2011 Shelley Memorial Award from the Poetry Society of America. Photo by Jessica Madavo. \nAlicia Ostriker has published nineteen collections of poetry\, been twice nominated for the National Book Award\, and has twice received the National Jewish Book Award for Poetry\, among other honors. As a critic she is the author of the now-classic Stealing the Language: The Emergence of Women’s Poetry in America\, and other books on poetry and on the Bible.
