Welcome to the fourth and final episode of Season Nine of the Bagley Wright Lecture Series on Poetry podcast. Season Nine is comprised of lectures written and delivered by Lisa Jarnot during her tenure as a Bagley Wright Lecturer. Lisa Jarnot's autobiographical lectures are an intimate, uncompromising, and generous glimpse into a remarkable life in poetry. Throughout these talks, Jarnot explores what it means to be a woman in a male-centered experimental tradition, to have white privilege and to write poetry. She examines the prophetic tradition in American poetry as inflected through counter-cultural spirituality, investigates the generative tensions at the intersections of formal and informal, traditional and experimental; develops relationships between ‘deep gossip' and ecstatic connectedness; and asks, finally, what does it mean for the poet to act as prophet in envisioning a new heaven and a new earth. Today we'll hear “Is That A Real Poem Or Did You Just Make It Up?” given December 9, 2021, in partnership with Portland Literary Arts, via Zoom. Jarnot's book based on her BWLS lectures, titled, Four Lectures, is outMay 7 from Wave Books, and is available here.

Rachel Zucker is a writer, podcast, and teacher based in New York and Maine. Her latest book, The Poetics of Wrongness, is a collection of essays (originally written and performed for the Bagley Wright Lecture Series) delving into her own poetics, motherhood, the history of confessional poetry, and the ethics of “say everything” poetry. In our conversation, Rachel and I talked about wrongness as a stance against moral purity, about addiction to doubt, and about poetry as an opportunity to create outside of capitalism. Then in the second segment, we talked about her new project, the Commonplace School for Embodied Poetics.

Welcome to the fifth episode of Season Eight of the Bagley Wright Lecture Series on Poetry podcast. Season Eight is comprised of lectures written and delivered by Rachel Zucker during her tenure as a Bagley Wright Lecturer. Rachel Zucker's lectures ask questions about obedience, wrongness, and decorum. Like her poetry, the lectures are borne from a long lineage of female writers and artists who ask What now? What next? and Am I allowed to do this? To break that? Rachel considers the history of Confessional poetry, the ethical consequences of representing real people in art, and the other great medium that has influenced her work—photography—exploring how it taught her to look for, but also question, truth and permission in art. Today we'll hear "Poetry and Photography," given March 9, 2016, in partnership with Yale University. This talk includes many references to the aesthetics of photographers with whom Zucker identifies or does not identify.

Welcome to the first episode of Season Seven of the Bagley Wright Lecture Series on Poetry podcast. Season Seven is comprised of lectures written and delivered by Douglas Kearney during his tenure as a Bagley Wright Lecturer. We begin with Kearney's talk, "I Killed, I Died: Banter, Self-Destruction, and the Poetry Reading." This talk was originally given September 25, 2020, at Cave Canem, via Zoom. While reading from early drafts of Patter, a collection about miscarriage, infertility, and making a Black family in the U.S., Douglas Kearney's relationship to audiences at poetry gigs changed. Informed by stand-up, improvisational music, and artists from Nina Simone to the Black Took Collective, Kearney began engaging the time between poems—the banter—to activate the imaginative space of association, mess, and discomfort he pursues in his written work: live. This lecture will get into the tension between pain and its performance, comedians' ideas of “killing” and dying,“ along with tips on how to sprint into a stone wall without getting hurt much. There are two brief moments where the audio cuts out in this recording. At around nine minutes, Kearney says, "'Miscarriages' were the sum of the takeaway that I couldn't, then shouldn't, make anyone feel what I had felt. And why? I would love to say that it would be to avoid cruelty…”. At around fourteen minutes, after "Just pay me for writing the damn poem!" Kearney continues, "Banter is of unknown etymological origins...".

Welcome to the second episode of Season Four of the Bagley Wright Lecture Series on Poetry podcast. This season, we're listening to the lectures of Cedar Sigo.

Across these talks, Sigo explores his childhood on the Suquamish Reservation, his coming to poetry and the ‘dream of composition.' He pays homage to a glittering constellation of postmodernist and revolutionary teachers, artists, and peers, and builds enduring and pointed questions of agency, interdependence, lineage, and transformation.

Today in after school detention, we cleared some karma credits by listening to a lecture by Dorothea Lasky on Poetry and the Metaphysical "I." Given October 10, 2013, at the Emerson Chapel, Harvard Divinity School, this lecture was co-sponsored by the Bagley Wright Lecture Series on Poetry and the Woodberry Poetry Room at Harvard University.

On the seventh episode of "From the Catbird Seat," Rob Casper goes behind the scenes with Matthew Zapruder, editor at large of Wave Books and the former director of the Bagley Wright Lecture Series, about the six Bagley Wright lectures hosted at the Library of Congress between 2013 and 2016. The lecture series features leading mid-career poets as they explore, in-depth, their own thinking on the subject of poetry and poetics. We'll listen to three poets who delivered Bagley Wright lectures at the Library of Congress: Dorothea Lasky, Timothy Donnelly, and Terrance Hayes.

Host Rachel Zucker talks with poet and educator TC Tolbert (author of Gephyromania and co-editor of Troubling the Line) about a car accident that changed the course of TC's writing life, the process of healing, learning to love the smallest things, having to ask someone to carry your weight, speaking to a younger self, *seeing one aspect of life as a metaphor for other patterns of living*, and coming out as trans. They talk about teaching, wanting to go back to school, and about the Bagley Wright Lecture Series conference at University of Arizona.
