Today's poem is Wake Up by Carl Phillips. The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back soon with new episodes. This week, we're going back into the archive to revisit Tracy K. Smith's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on January 24, 2020. In this episode, former host Tracy K. Smith writes… “That's how it feels sometimes listening to news of our daily catastrophes, like all of us, no matter who we are, are lost together. And the old signs, the old facts even are gone, insufficient to the new task we, together, must face. Why does that idea, the idea that together, we must find a new means of putting things back in order — why does it somehow comfort me?” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

This episode we are thrilled to be joined by the artist Jessica Rankin. Born in Sydney in 1971, Jessica is known for her vibrant and expansive exploration of the processes of memory, intuition, and interpretation.  For the first part of her career, Jessica produced textile works that adopted methods historically identified with feminine pursuits—embroidery and needlework. She created works featuring 'mental maps' that combined word and image to highlight her ongoing project: a hybrid weaving of personal, fictional and historical voices. In 2016, Jessica turned exclusively to painting, combining gestural abstraction with the sewn mark on raw canvas. These works often take their inspiration from the literature of marginalised voices: of women writers, gay writers or writers of colour. They have included lines of poetry by writers who have inspired Jessica's work, such as Etel Adnan, Paul Celan, and Carl Phillips. Throughout, Jessica has continued to adopt John Cage's adage to ‘be unfamiliar to yourself,” creating a rich and compelling practice that spans multiple media. Jessica has been the subject of numerous solo and group exhibitions including the Palazzo Grassi in Venice, the Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester, UK, and MoMA PS1 here in New York. Last year, she had a solo show at White Cube in Hong Kong. Jessica is represented by White Cube. https://www.whitecube.com/artists/jessica-rankin Some artists and writers discussed in this episode: David Hammons Coco Fusco Martha Rosler Glenn Ligon Virginia Woolf Olivia Laing Julie Mehretu Lawrence Chua Paul Pfeiffer

The Blacksmith House Poetry Series at the Cambridge Center for Adult Education has been bringing established and emerging poets to Harvard Square since its founding by Gail Mazur in 1973. The series is named after the Blacksmith House at 56 Brattle Street, site of the village smithy and the spreading chestnut tree of Longfellow's 1839 poem "The Village Blacksmith." Earlier this week, series director Andrea Cohen introduced the poets -- Carl Phillips and Penelope Pelizzon -- who read from their new collections. Carl read from Scattered Snows, to the North, and Penelope read from A Gaze Hound That Hunteth By the Eye. Next week, on December 9, 2024, two more writers will be featured. David Semanki will read from his debut collection of poems, Ghost Camera, and Jason Schneiderman will read from his latest collection: Self Portrait of Icarus as a Country on Fire.

Carl Phillips was day-drinking last year when he found out he won the Pulitzer Prize in poetry. The recently-retired Washington University professor is now out with a new book, “Scattered Snows, to the North.” STLPR arts & culture senior reporter Jeremy D. Goodwin talks with Phillips about the prestigious recognition and his new book, “Scattered Snows, to the North.”

Poet Carl Phillips taught at Washington University for 30 years before winning the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry last year. He retired at the end of the school year. His new collection is out now. It's called “Scattered Snows, to the North” and it includes poems about memory, sex and the natural world. St. Louis Public Radio's Jeremy Goodwin asked Phillips how his prestigious award affected his writing.

Today's guest is one of the most singular and celebrated Anglophone poets writing today, Carl Phillips. We center his latest collection, Scattered Snows, to the North, his first since winning the 2023 Pulitzer prize in poetry. But we also use his three craft books written over the decades (in 2004, 2014 and 2023 respectively) to […] The post Carl Phillips : Scattered Snows, to the North appeared first on Tin House.

Wayne David Hubbard is an author of poetry, essays, and short stories. His literary works explore – both directly and abstractly – aspects of science, philosophy, history, and culture across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Synopsis: In his debut poetry collection, Death Throes of the Broken Clockwork Universe, Wayne David Hubbard illustrates journeys through physical space and abstract worlds of emotion. Combining choreological precision with playfulness, readers enter the mind's eye of a poet standing along the shoreline of powerful forces that shape all lives: time, place, and love.  Written over a ten-year period, the collection calls to mind the poetry of Lorine Niedecker, Rae Armantrout, Larry Eigner, and Carl Phillips. Importantly, these poems resist thick, impenetrable themes, instead celebrating ordinal wonders of life that are hidden in open view. This spare book offers strong, memorable imagery and questions that will delight thoughtful readers.  https://waynedavidhubbard.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Wayne-David-Hubbard/e/B096644MJG?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1669130464&sr=1-1

In an October 2022 NY Times profile of Sharon Olds, she declares she has a "real simile brain,” explaining further:  “My brain sees in similes.” According to Sam Anderson (who wrote the profile), Olds "has never been comfortable saying definitively, as metaphors do, that something is something else. She ascribes this to her terrifying childhood experience of religion, the idea that blood was wine, that body was bread. To this day, she clings to the comforting distance of that “like.” Blood is like wine, yes; body is like bread, sure — in the same way that a poem is like a real experience but not the thing itself. In the same way that death is like birth, sorrow is like joy, a poet is like a host, an ending is like a beginning. To have a simile brain, as Olds does, is to live in a world of radical interconnection, a world in which nothing stands alone, nothing is ever only itself. And yet everything, in that vast network of mutual meanings, is allowed to remain exactly itself." You can read the whole profile here. Also, we reference it enough in this show that here's a recording of Sharon Olds reading "I Go Back to May 1937."The lecture of Linda Gregg's I reference is a craft talk she gave at the Palm Beach Poetry Festival.

S. Yarberry is a trans poet and writer. They currently serve as the Poetry Editor of The Spectacle. S. has their MFA in Poetry from Washington University in St. Louis and is now a PhD candidate in literature at Northwestern University. S. is also the author of a new book of poetry A Boy in The City. A Boy in the City interrogates how our bodies both seduce and elude. Told through the lens of an intimate partnership, Yarberry explores the way we inhabit and are simultaneously distanced from our bodies–our loose seams, our disappearances and infinities, our longing among the brilliance and mundanity of the “streets and lights and strangers” of our cities. The collection feels like an easy Sunday morning a few months after a break-up; a raw nerve, romantic and splintered. Carl Phillips calls Yarberry a “defiant new voice” who “writes past the ‘festoonery' of gender and easy binaries.” Mary Jo Bang says the poems in A Boy in the City are, “incisive, erotic, artfully antiro- mantic and Paul Tran says, “Yarberry's gift to us is that we can become anything, too.” S.

Frenz, as promised, here is Carl Phillips' reading our first-ever haiku on The Poet Salon, Kobayashi Issa's "[The world of dew]" or "On the Death of a Child."  CARL PHILLIPS is the author of fourteen books of poetry, most recently Pale Colors in a Tall Field (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2020). He has won the Kingsley Tufts Award and been a finalist for the National Book Award. He currently teaches at Washington University in St. Louis. Japanese poet KOBAYASHI ISSA, also known as Kobayashi Yataro and Kobayashi Nobuyuki, was born in Kashiwabara, Shinanao province. He eventually took the pen name Issa, which means “cup of tea” or, according to poet Robert Hass, “a single bubble in steeping tea.” Issa's haiku are as attentive to the small creatures of the world—mosquitoes, bats, cats—as they are tinged with sorrow and an awareness of the nuances of human behavior. In addition to haiku, Issa wrote pieces that intertwined prose and poetry, including Journal of My Father's Last Days and The Year of My Life.
