Today we're bringing you the recording from Slow Take, our live event in Nashville this past April, featuring Major Jackson in conversation with Jad Abumrad and special guest poets Kate Daniels, Mark Jarman, Ciona Rouse and Didi Jackson, as well as singer-songwriter Tia Sillers. Our hosts and guests employed the attention of The Slowdown to explore the daily noise we interact with -- how sharing poetry, stories, and reflection can shape our experience of the everyday. How do we collage our own pasts and our presents, alongside the many voices that we engage with? This event was produced in collaboration with The Porch and was recorded live at Analog at Hutton Hotel. The full video is available on The Slowdown's YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/NfNliG95AiECelebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

In our 14th episode — and the second episode of our third season — co-host Jerome Moore and Scene managing editor Alejandro Ramirez are joined by poet and organizer Ciona Rouse. As Alejandro wrote in a recent feature, despite Nashville's thriving poetry scene, Nashville doesn't have a poet laureate. We talk about that, local poetry events, our most active poets and more.Follow Jerome Moore on Instagram (@jeromelmoore) and see how to keep up with Ciona via her website.

Episode 2: Ciona Rouse(July 22, 2002)Andy's conversation with Nashville's unofficial poet laureate goes deep into the mystery and power of poetry in fractious times, the importance of seeking out voices of people outside one's own culture, and, perhaps more to the point for this show's purposes, the historic relationship between writers and alcohol—specifically bourbon in Rouse's case (and Andy's, too, as luck would have it). Related topics: Lucille Clifton, Langston Hughes, the derivation and pronunciation of the name Ciona, the pros and cons of puns, Andy's musical theater issues, the Louisa Nelson Awards (Rouse received one in 2019), and the deep pleasure of reading Shakespeare aloud among friends. Special Guest Appearance by Andy's dog Clyde, the very best boy in the whole wide world. 

Today's poem is Practicing by Ciona Rouse.

December 2018  /  2h 13m  /  Music by Brian Stone  /  LionSuit.com Some names and specifics we could not recall during our conversation: ● Matthew Stevenson is the young man who invited Derek Black (Stormfront) to Shabbat every week. ● John Lewis is the British company with the great holiday advert history. ● Krista Tippett's On Being guest was Anand Giridharadas, who says, "It’s language like the “win-win,” which sounds great, but in some deep way is actually about rich people saying, the only acceptable forms of social change are the forms of social change that also kick something back upstairs — language like “doing well by doing good,” which, again, is like, “The only conditions under which I’m willing to do good is under which I would also do well.”

Have you ever had the nightmare where you’re standing at the front of an audience, about to say something important, but when you open your mouth there’s nothing? Well imagine waking up in that nightmare and realizing that you couldn’t get out. That’s exactly what happened to KC Steedle, the night that a mysterious blackout nearly killed his dream of ever having a career in music. KC tells poet Ciona Rouse about the disquieting experience of confronting a medical anomaly. And a surprising change in plan that ultimately saved his career, and his life. Then Ciona takes his unsettling tale, and turns it into poetry. Versify is a production of Nashville Public Radio and The Porch, Nashville’s nonprofit literary center.

Ebralie Mwizerwa is a mother of five, an accountant, a devoted church-goer — and a survivor of the 1994 Rwandan genocide. She fled with her family while pregnant and now runs a nonprofit that assists incoming refugee families in Nashville, Tennessee. Ebralie shares the story of her harrowing escape to poet Destiny Birdsong, who takes up the challenge of crafting an original poem for Ebralie — “trying to figure out how to speak the unspeakable,” as Destiny says. This story was recorded at Legacy Mission Village and the poem recorded live on stage as part of the International Women’s Day celebration at OZ Arts Nashville in March 2017.

Serg Rodriguez hasn’t seen his family in years. He was excommunicated by their church and grew apart from his parents and siblings. But now as a writer in Nashville, his little sister is never far from his mind. Without warning, she troubles his thoughts and finds here way into everything he puts on paper. In this episode, we find out how family rejection has actually helped Serg to better understand unconditional love. And then Nashville poet Ciona Rouse turns Serg’s story into an original poem.
