SUMMARY:Etel Adnan: In the Rhythms of the World: A Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Etel Adnan: In the Rhythms of the World\nA Symposium\, February 27 – March 1 \nOrganized by Omar Berrada & Simone Fattal\nHosted by The Poetry Project\, with Giorno Poetry Systems and Anthology Film Archives\n\n \nEtel Adnan’s oeuvre did not follow a masterplan; it expanded and shape-shifted ceaselessly. Each book invented its own genre. And yet her tone is unmistakable\, combining sharp observation with the associative logic of dreams. “I followed lines I never saw\, went on unchartered roads\, didn’t emerge from any confusion. The present was forever blowing.” Throughout her existence\, she was committed to being “in the rhythms of the world.” In the face of a life “woven with war\,” she chose to look the apocalypse in the eye\, always seeking appropriate forms for bearing witness. \nBorn in Beirut in 1925\, Adnan lived on three continents and in multiple languages\, working as a writer\, a painter\, a journalist\, a professor\, a filmmaker\, among other pursuits. Though she taught philosophy and read voraciously\, she valued nothing more than careful attention to material phenomena: “I know that seeking political and philosophical notions in the street is like trying to construct a barrier to hold back the ocean\, but I won’t look elsewhere.” Solidarity and radical equality were her guiding principles\, as was her ever-renewed wonder at the beauty of the world and her enduring belief in the oneness of being. To her\, landscapes revealed haunted histories of place. Trees were constant interlocutors. A mountain was her best friend. \nOrganized by Omar Berrada and Simone Fattal on the centenary of Etel Adnan’s birth\, this symposium gathers together old friends\, confirmed specialists\, and younger disciples of Adnan’s. They will offer talks\, poetry readings\, and musical performances in response to multiple aspects of her literary and visual work. \nContributors include George Abraham\, Ammiel Alcalay\, Jean-Philippe Antoine\, Amir ElSaffar\, Huda Fakhreddine\, Peter Gizzi\, Maaza Mengiste\, Saretta Morgan & Ica Sadagat\, Eileen Myles & Ryan Sawyer\, Sarah Riggs\, Lisa Robertson\, Jennifer Scappettone\, Brandon Shimoda\, Hamed Sinno\, and Kamelya Omayma Youssef. \nThis event is free and open to the public with RSVP. \n\nThursday February 27 \nEvening: Anthology Film Archives \n6:30 pm: Screening\nEtel Adnan: Motion (1980/89 – 2012\, ’92)\nPresented by Bidoun \nRSVP to the film screening here\n\n\nFriday February 28 \nAfternoon: Giorno Poetry Systems \n2:00 pm:\nSimone Fattal & Omar Berrada — Introduction\nAmmiel Alcalay — “…tenderness for the world as it is”: Journeying into the present with Etel Adnan\nSaretta Morgan & Ica Sadagat — Guerrilla Nature: Tactics of the Ethereal \n4:00 pm: Coffee break \n4:30 pm:\nBrandon Shimoda — Burn the walls of your own apparitions: on Etel Adnan’s Hiroshimas\nHuda Fakhreddine — Poetry Begins at STOP: Etel Adnan and the Arabic Poetic Tradition \nRSVP to the Friday afternoon programming here \n\nEvening: The Poetry Project \n7:00 pm: Light buffet dinner \n8:00 pm:\nBook launch — Etel Adnan: Voyage\, War\, Exile (Litmus Press)\nSarah Riggs — Letters to Etel from Egypt\nGeorge Abraham — When the Arab Apocalypse Comes to America \n9:00 pm:\nAmir ElSaffar — Time’s Other Side (music performance) \nRSVP to the Friday evening programming here \n\nSaturday March 1 \nAfternoon: The Poetry Project \n2:00 pm:\nJennifer Scappettone — Leporello as Geopoetics: Etel’s Xenoglossia\nEileen Myles & Ryan Sawyer — Perpetual Present Tempo of Etel Adnan\nJean-Philippe Antoine — Paris\, when it’s naked — Winter 2025 \n4:00 pm: Coffee break \n4:30 pm:\nMaaza Mengiste — Letter from East Jerusalem: The Landscape Between\nLisa Robertson — What Light Composes: The Bioluminescence of the Poem \nRSVP to the Saturday afternoon programming here \n\nEvening: Giorno Poetry Systems \n7:00 pm: Light buffet dinner \n8:00 pm:\nPeter Gizzi — For Etel\, For Love\nKamelya Omayma Youssef — A Problem of Certainty \n9:00 pm:\nHamed Sinno — Land without Organs (music performance) \nRSVP to the Saturday evening programming here \nEtel Adnan: In the Rhythms of the World was organized by Omar Berrada and Simone Fattal to mark the centenary of Etel Adnan’s birth.

SUMMARY:angela abiodun & Mahogany L. Browne
DESCRIPTION:angela abiodun and Mahogany L. Browne are two poets whose linguistic work expands the formation of new vocabularies—vocabularies that are as sensorially rich as they are rooted in political stakes.

SUMMARY:Daisy Atterbury & Betsy Fagin
DESCRIPTION:What distance enables us to diagnose the ills of the world without disavowing what makes us part of it? Daisy Atterbury and Betsy Fagin write with planetary perspective: a lucid rendition of skies and land owned and sold toward boundless colonial expansion (the last frontier). Their poems reinvest sites of disaster with the desire of the poet\, brightening the lower atmosphere with the glow of small fires.
