In s3e33, Platemark podcast host Ann Shafer talks with Ruth Lingen, printer and owner of Line Press Limited, located in the Dumbo neighborhood of Brooklyn. Line Press Limited does just about everything except screenprinting. Ruth is a jack-of-all-trades, and loves book arts the most, from papermaking to typesetting to printing and binding. After studying with the legendary Walter Hamady, Ruth got her start in New York with Joe Wilfer in the very early days of Pace Prints. She printed for many artists while at Pace, including Chuck Close and Jim Dine (for whom she still prints every summer in Walla Walla). Ruth worked closely with Bill Hall and Julia D'Amario at Pace, both of whom are previous guests on Platemark: Bill is featured in s3e6  and Julia appears in s3e15. Ruth has collaborated with more than 50 of the world's greatest artists—on prints (some for Pace editions, some on her own) and very special limited edition artist books. In addition to Dine and Close, she has collborated on editions with such art-world luminaries as Robert Ryman, Mary Heilmann, Kiki Smith, Claes Oldenberg, Bob Holman, Robert Creeley, Jessica Stockholder, Jeremy Sigler, Donald Traever, Al Held, and John Chamberlain. Lingen's work can be found in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Getty, and the Brooklyn Museum, as well as in more than 20 libraries, from the New York Public Library to the Harvard University Library.

In a world that feels divided, two storytellers invite people to share what shapes their politics through poetry, using the prompt “Where I'm From.” Host Kai Wright–inspired by a listener voicemail–considers poetry as a potential vehicle for facilitating challenging conversations. He's joined by poet and filmmaker Bob Holman, owner of the Bowery Poetry Club and original slam master of the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, and Steve Zeitlin, author of “The Poetry of Everyday Life: Storytelling and the Art of Awareness” and founding director of the grassroots cultural preservation organization CityLore.  Holman and Zeitlin run a project called Across the Great Divide, which asks people to write poems using the prompt “Where I'm from,” to promote communication and positive social change. They unpack some submissions from the project and turn the prompt to callers as they respond to poems live.  You can learn more about Across the Great Divide and how to submit a poem here.  Companion listening for this episode:  Living With And Learning From Estrangement (1/23/2023) Estrangement isn't linear. For those who have severed ties or been cut off, it can be necessary, empowering, devastating and confounding—all at once.  “Notes from America” airs live on Sunday evenings at 6pm ET. The podcast episodes are lightly edited from our live broadcasts. To catch all the action, tune into the show on Sunday nights via the stream on notesfromamerica.org or on WNYC's YouTube channel.

They are inviting listeners to participate and will be taking the POEMobile on the road in August to gather more poems. They are joined by contributors Simba Sandra Yangala, who emigrated to the U.S. from what was then Zaire as a teenager, and Kieran Coughlan, who runs a truck repair shop in Yonkers. They want your poems for All the Voices.  Click on the link for how to contribute where you're from -- politically, and some questions to get you started.  The deadline is September 30th.

 Carl Hancock Rux's work crosses the disciplines of poetry, theater, music, and literary fiction in order to achieve what one critic describes as a "dizzying oral artistry...unleashing a torrent of paper bag poetry and post modern Hip-Bop music; the ritualistic blues of self awakening."Carl Hancock Rux is an American poet, playwright, novelist, essayist, recording artist, actor, theater director, radio journalist, as well as a frequent collaborator in the fields of film, modern dance, and contemporary art. He is the author of several books including the Village Voice Literary Prize-winning collection of poetry, Pagan Operetta, the novel, Asphalt, and the Obie Award-winning play, Talk. WRITER/POETWorking as a Social Work Trainer while moonlighting as a freelance art and music critic, Rux became a founding member of Hezekiah Walker's Love Fellowship gospel choir and later found himself influenced by the Lower East Side poetry and experimental theater scene, collaborating with poets Miguel Algarin, Bob Holman, Jayne Cortez, Sekou Sundiata, Ntozake Shange; experimental musicians David Murray, Mal Waldron, Butch Morris, Craig Harris, Jeanne Lee, Leroy Jenkins, Odetta, Steve Earle, Jim Carroll as well as experimental theater artists Laurie Carlos, Robbie McCauley, Ruth Maleczech, Lee Breuer, Reza Abdoh and others.RECORDING ARTIST/PERFORMING ARTISTHis CD Rux Revue was recorded and produced in Los Angeles by the Dust Brothers, Tom Rothrock, and Rob Schnapf and voted one of the top ten alternative music CDs of 1998 (New York Times).

Taylor Mali, a TED "Best of the Web" speaker, has done little more than write & perform poetry—and teach others to do the same—since 2000. His poems "are clear. They are almost always hysterically funny, often sentimental, appealing, accessible. And smart" (Bob Holman). He is a vocal advocate of teachers and the nobility of teaching, having taught in one capacity or another since 1990. He spent nine years in the classroom teaching everything from English and history to math and S.A.T. test preparation. He has performed and lectured for teachers all over the world, and his 12-year long Quest for One Thousand Teachers, completed in April of 2012, helped create 1,000 new teachers through "poetry, persuasion, and perseverance," an achievement he commemorated by donating 12 inches of his hair to the American Cancer Society. He has performed or taught poetry in over 50 foreign countries and in every state of the U.S. (except Wyoming!). Taylor Mali is the author most recently of "The Whetting Stone" (Rattle 2017), a "life-affirmingly dark" look at the death of his first wife. He is also the author of "Bouquet of Red Flags" (Write Bloody Books 2014), a poetic celebration of "a marriage I did not yet realize was over," "What Teachers Make: In Praise of the Greatest Job in the World" (Putnam 2012) as well as two other books of poetry, “The Last Time As We Are” (Write Bloody Books 2009) and “What Learning Leaves” (Hanover 2002). He received a New York Foundation for the Arts Grant in 2001 to develop "Teacher! Teacher!" a one-man show about poetry, teaching, and math which won the jury prize for best solo performance at the 2001 Comedy Arts Festival. Formerly president of Poetry Slam, Inc., the non-profit organization that oversees all poetry slams in North America, Taylor Mali makes his living entirely as a spoken-word and voiceover artist these days, traveling around the country performing and teaching workshops as well as doing occasional commercial voiceover work. He has narrated several books on tape, including "The Great Fire" for which he won the Golden Earphones Award for children's narration.

Valentina Musmeci"Premio Ostana"Scritture in lingua madrehttps://www.premioostana.it/Il “Premio Ostana: scritture in lingua madre” è un appuntamento con le lingue madri del mondo che ogni anno riunisce a Ostana, paese occitano di 85 abitanti in Valle Po ai piedi del Monviso, autori di lingua madre da tutto il mondo, per un festival della biodiversità linguistica.Il “Premio Ostana: scritture in lingua madre – escrituras en lenga maire – Edizione speciale online 2020” è ideato da Chambra d'oc, in collaborazione con Nethics, e promosso e sostenuto da: Comune di Ostana, Regione Piemonte, Cirdoc – Insitut Occitan de Cultura, Pen club Occitan, Ràdio Lenga d'Òc, Fondazione CRC, Fondazione CRT, ATL Cuneo.Sabato 6 giugno 2020 - Ore 17:00Valentina Musmeci intervista Bob HolmanLa promozione della diversità linguistica nel mondo: l'esempio di KhonsaySottotitoli in italiano a cura di Silvia Mentini, traduttriceKhonsay – Poem of Many Tongues (2015, 15') di Bob Holman. Una video-poesia formato da cinquanta versi, ognuno dei quali viene pronunciato da un parlante di una lingua diversa.Sottotitoli in italiano a cura di Silvia Mentini, traduttrice.Bob HolmanNato nel Kentucky e trasferitosi presto a New York, Bob Holman ha fatto della poesia e della lingua la sua ragione di vita, diventando un punto di riferimento per la comunità poetica statunitense e per la difesa delle lingue in pericolo di estinzione in tutto il mondo. Secondo il New Yorker “Bob Holman è stato il promotore postmoderno più attivo nel portare la poesia nei caffè e nei bar dai tempi di Ferlinghetti”. L'amore per l'oralità e l'impegno come attivista della parola hanno permeato tutta la sua opera poetica e lo hanno portato a viaggiare per il mondo per preservare e sostenere patrimoni culturali e linguistici fortemente connessi agli ambienti e agli ecosistemi in cui si sono radicati.A cura di Valentina Musmeci, scrittrice.Sabato 6 giugno 202 - Ore 18:30Valentina Musmeci intervista Kola Tubosun“Sono un linguista interessato alla crescita, allo sviluppo e al sostentamento della lingua Yorùbá e di altre lingue nigeriane. Mi occupo di letteratura, di istruzione, di governance e tecnologia delle lingue nel XXI secolo”.Tobuson svolge da diversi anni un lavoro importante sulla lingua Yorùbá, occupandosi della lessicografia con Google per la traduzione dal nigeriano all'inglese e per la fruizione della lingua Yorùbá nei media e nelle piattaforme social di tutto il mondo (l'esperimento di traduzione condotto su Twitter lo ha visto insignito del premio africano come Innovatore d'onore nel 2016).

Ines Cavalcanti"Premio Ostana"Scritture in Lingua Madrehttps://www.premioostana.it/Premio OstanaScritture in Lingua Madre / escrituras en lenga maireedizione speciale online venerdì 5 e sabato 6 giugno 2020 Un'occasione di incontro in Rete per le lingue madri del mondo:occitano, basco, maltese, innu, sardo, cimbro, catalano e catalano di Alghero, cheyenne, griko, corso francoprovenzale, amazigh (berbero), ciuvascio, bretone, yoruba, shuar, maori ai tempi della pandemiaIl “Premio Ostana: scritture in lingua madre” è un appuntamento con le lingue madri del mondo che ogni anno riunisce a Ostana, paese occitano di 85 abitanti in Valle Po ai piedi del Monviso, autori di lingua madre da tutto il mondo, per un festival dedicato alla celebrazione della biodiversità linguistica. Nel corso degli anni, Ostana ha ospitato 37 lingue provenienti dai 5 continenti, unite dallo spirito di convivéncia, parola trobadorica che significa “l'arte di vivere insieme in armonia”. Si è consolidata così una rete internazionale di autori, appassionati e sostenitori della diversità linguistica, che fanno del Premio Ostana un appuntamento annuale imperdibile per ragionare e discutere sul presente e il futuro delle lingue minoritarie, nella difesa dei diritti linguistici e del loro valore universale. Data l'impossibilità di realizzare la XII edizione nel modo classico, il Premio Ostana ha chiamato a raccolta i premiati delle scorse edizioni per realizzare due giorni di diretta online sul sito premioostana.it con interviste, conferenze, contributi letterari, musicali, artistici. Il filo conduttore del programma online è quello di sempre: dare voce alle lingue indigene nel mondo. Un omaggio a Luis Sepúlveda con una maratona di lettura incrociata de La Gabbianella e il Gatto nelle lingue madri: sardo, catalano algherese, tabarchino, occitano alpino e francoprovenzale; il poeta statunitense Bob Holman, che porterà una riflessione sulla promozione della diversità linguistica nel mondo con il suo documentario - in prima visione in Italia - Language Matters with Bob Holman. Si parlerà di poesia con Lance David Henson, poeta Cheyenne; Aurélia Lassaque, poetessa occitana; Josephine Bacon, poetessa di lingua innu (Canada) e Antony Heulin, poeta bretone; e, in questi tempi di pandemia, è stato pensato un omaggio a Max Rouquette (1908-2005) - tra i più grandi autori occitani del Novecento – tramite letture in musica a partire dal suo attualissimo romanzo Cèrca de Pendariès, incentrato sulle epidemie di peste che flagellarono la Provenza a metà del Cinquecento. Si rifletterà su lingua, politica e società basca con lo scrittore e poeta Harkaitz Cano e la traduttrice Lurdes Auzmendi; sulla lingua Yorùbá con Kola Tubosun, linguista nigeriano; sul griko, minoranza linguistica storica della Grecìa salentina, e ancora sulla lingua berbera o “tamazight” con un documentario inedito dedicato. Grazie alla collaborazione con il CIRDOC - Institut occitan de cultura e Ràdio Lenga d'Òc interverranno in diretta dalla sede della radio a Montpellier Mathieu Poitavin, Danielle Julien e Roland Pécout per raccontare la loro esperienza a Ostana. E ancora: un inedito racconto di Witi Ihimaera per i bambini italiani in quarantena e il contributo del regista e produttore sardo Tore Cubeddu, che descriverà l'esperienza della televisione sarda EjaTV ai tempi del Covid-19. In allegato la nota stampa completa e alcune immagini di repertorio.Il programma completo è disponibile anche sul sito www.premioostana.itIL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

My guest is Bob Holman. On December 3, 2019, Bowery Books simultaneously released two new books of poetry by Bob Holman—written 50 years apart. LIFE POEM and THE UNSPOKEN serve not only as bookends to a lifetime immersed in words, performance, and the avant garde, but they also show the evolution of an artist, an art form, and a downtown art scene that’s gone from Allen Ginsberg to Lou Reed to Eileen Myles to Mahogany L. Browne. He's also a New Yorker in the midst of the epicenter of the Corona pandemic. LIFE POEM is a recently rediscovered book-length poem Holman wrote at age 21, new to poetry and first in its thrall. Filled with “jounce and pounce,” as Gwendolyn Brooks says, it’s a hippy diary full of communes, Vietnam, romance, and a driving love for language that ended up lasting a lifetime. THE UNSPOKEN is a collection of recent works, written by Holman, A WIDOWER in his 70s, still devoted to poetry, but now with decades of experience, memories, and loss to inform it. There are poems of all sorts: personal, confessional, poems set to music, poems that are meant to be shouted or whispered; there are poems addressed to his late wife, the painter Elizabeth Murray, to their children, and to the countless artists and poets he’s encountered over the last half century. The books show the roots of Holman’s own personal mix of Appalachian storytelling, spoken-word poetry bravado, and New York whimsy and humor. Both poems are a raucous celebration of a life lived as art, and an invitation to the reader to join the party. In the words of poet Naomi Shihab Nye, "His life gusto and poetry voice keep the world turning.” Special Guests: Adam Hamilton and Bob Holman.

The Unspoken: Bob HolmanFeatured in a Henry Louis Gates, Jr. profile in The New Yorker, crowned "Ringmaster of the Spoken Word" by the New York Daily News, Bob Holman has performed his poems with a punk band in Kiev, a griot in Timbuktu, a ballet company in San Francisco. As the original Slam Master of the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, creator of the world's first spoken word record label, Mouth Almighty/Mercury, and the founder of the Bowery Poetry Club, Holman has played a central role in the spoken word and slam poetry movements of the last several decades. He is the author of 17 poetry collections, A Couple of Ways of Doing Something (Aperture, a collaboration with Chuck Close), and has taught at Princeton, Columbia, NYU, Bard, and The New School. A co-founder of the Endangered Language Alliance, Holman's study of hip-hop and West African oral traditions led to his current work with endangered languages. He is the producer/host of films including "The United States of Poetry" and "Language Matters with Bob Holman.Learn more about Simran here:www.iamsimran.comwww.1111mag.com/

Uff, ist mein Englisch eingerostet... Was Bob Holman aus New York erzählt, ist allerdings so spannend, dass meine Holprigkeiten hoffentlich wenig ins Gewicht fallen. Er wettert angemessen über den Präsideten, erzählt vom Online Pilates und liest abschließend die ersten Gedichte im Podcast. Bob findet ihr am besten Twitter oder Facebook.

Fellow poet Naomi Shihab Nye says that Bob Holman's "life gusto and poetry voice keep the world turning." In this episode of The History of Literature, we tap into that voice, as Bob Holman joins us for a rollicking conversation about the poetic life he's led, from his birth in a small town in Kentucky to his decades living in New York City, where - in the words of Henry Louis Gates Jr. - he's "done more to bring poetry to cafes and bars than anyone since Ferlinghetti." Holman's latest works (Life Poem and The Unspoken, published recently by Bowery Books, were written fifty years apart. We'll ask Bob how he's changed as a poet and person in those years, and to give us his sense of where poetry has been, where it is now, and where it's headed. Poets and writers discussed or mentioned include ee cummings, William Blake, Gregory Corso, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Mayakovsky, the Russian futurists, Kenneth Koch, Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, Philip Roth, Donald Lev, Jackie Sheeler, Alan Ginsberg, Amiri Baraka, Jayne Cortez, Papa Susso, Pablo Neruda, Homer, Sappho, and Sekou Sundiata.

Henry Louis Gates Jr. wrote in a New Yorker profile that Bob Holman has “done more to bring poetry to cafes and bars than anyone since [Lawrence] Ferlinghetti.” He brought the spoken word scene and poetry slams to New York City twice, first as the co-director of the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, then as the founder of the Bowery Poetry Club. He further democratized poetry through his award-winning PBS documentaries The United States of Poetry and Language Matters. This month, Bowery Books is publishing two new books of poetry by Bob Holman—written 50 years apart. “Life Poem” and “The Unspoken” show the evolution of an artist, an art form, and a downtown art scene that’s gone from Allen Ginsberg to Lou Reed to Eileen Myles to Mahogany L. Browne. Tune in for a discussion with Bob Holman of the evolution of New York City’s poetry scene as seen through his own work over five decades.

This is a very unique episode recorded in a shipping container at Golden Plains music festival with Ben 'Tuffy' Lee. Plus a bonus poem from Emilie Zoey Baker recorded at Fairfield Boathouse. We start the conversation by talking about Tuffy's band The Dirty Bloods and what lead him to getting to the place where he would start his own band in his 40's. Many thanks to Ela Fornalska for being our MTAW Muse of the Week! Ela supplied the prompt 'Firsts', for which I wrote this poem. FIRSTS. My first kiss was at midnight on a boat shed deck on a Mornington Beach. She made me listen to Echo and the Bunnymen’s ‘Killing Moon’ on her Walkman. The headphones dropped from my head as she kissed me into oblivion. My first taste of marijuana was from a bucket bong in a rock and roll St Kilda share house. A baptism of THC fire. My first punch I ever received was at 15 years old playing football for Beleura against Dromana. I tried to wrestle him away from a teammate who he was also punching and then he turned around and punched me directly in the face. It’s true you really do see stars. My first sex was in a bedroom in Seaford while her mother baked cookies in the kitchen. To this day the smell of freshly baked cookies produces a Pavlovian tingle in my loins. My first time in a plane was flying to Mexico on a one way ticket with my girlfriend who I would marry three years later. We broke up 18 months later and divorced. She held my hand tightly as the plane took off. My first breakup was in the Melbourne Botanical Gardens on a clear bright sunny day. Which lead to the second and last time I was punched as she pummelled my chest with her fists while tears streamed down her face. My first record I ever owned was the Beach Boys Greatest Hits, a birthday present from my parents. My first record I ever bought with my own money was Pat Benatar live. Because I was in love with her and certain we would marry one day. Love is a battlefield. My first car was a 1965 Bottle Green Hillman Minx. I drove it all the way home from the sellers house with the hand brake still on and was terrified that I had ruined it. I hadn’t. I also used to keep a bunch of plastic flowers spread across the dash board because I wanted to be Morrissey. My first has never been my first because everything has happened before and will happen again. For Whelan and Stealin' Tuffy reads some of the lyrics of And the Ass Said to the Angel: "Wanna' Play Kick to Kick?" and Fosters Car Boogie from TISM. I read a poem by Matt Cook called James Joyce, that I first heard on a CD called The United States of Poetry created by the amazing Bob Holman. You can see the film clip for James Joyce right here. Lastly we hear from the wonderful Emilie Zoey Baker with a bonus poem recorded by the river at Fairfield Boat House. Emilie's poem is inspired by the song Alphabet Aerobics by Blackalicious, especially Daniel Radcliffe's mindblowing cover of it on Jimmy Fallon. Thank you as always to our generous supporters Luxe Country and Castaway Studios. (Sean M) Whelan, out.

This event is a part of the “GIANT NIGHT: The Poetry Project at 50” platform series. Thought of as the pre-spirit of The Poetry Project, Paul Blackburn gave the first “official” reading of The Poetry Project on September 22, 1966. His poetry, translations, and organization and recording of early downtown readings, exerted a steady and widespread influence across a wide range of aesthetic practices. In his lifetime Blackburn published thirteen books of original poetry as well as five major works of translation. Twelve other books were published posthumously. The Collected Poems of Paul Blackburn (1985) and The Selected Poems of Paul Blackburn (1989) are both available from Persea Books, and a reprint of Proensa: An Anthology of Troubadour Poetry, is due out from New York Review Books in 2016. Join us for this kick-off event in “GIANT NIGHT: The Poetry Project at 50” as we read Blackburn's work. With Kimberly Lyons, Ammiel Alcalay, Simone White, Martha King, Basil King, Jerome Rothenberg, Marcella Durand, Bob Holman, David Henderson, Anne Waldman, Rochelle Owens, George Economou, Mark Weiss, Patricia Spears Jones, Brenda Coultas, Gregg Weatherby, Carlos Blackburn and Joan Blackburn. We will also listen to some tracks from Blackburn's 1966 inaugural Poetry Project reading.
