Episode 133: Delicious Disorientation    Three poems by Christopher Brean Murray cleverly dropped us all into a wonderful sense of disorientation that we relished navigating. Our discussion touched on time travel, dreamscapes, masterful language and wordplay, and we explored the importance of trusting the speaker in poetry that leans into surrealism. Samantha pointed us to other texts that play with time, perception, and reality, and we spent a little time considering accessibility in poetry. Doom scrolling, misinformation, and disinformation all make appearances in conjured landscapes that brought pointillism to mind. Jason reminds us of the risk of expecting more of the same from a poet when as a reader you've fallen hard for an earlier work. It was hard to end our discussion as it was so rich and rewarding. After enthusiastically voting “yes” for the first two poems, we ended on a cliffhanger with the third. (Update: the third poem was ultimately a “no” for us, but the discussion will show how much we appreciated it.)    Links you might like:  Tobias Wolff "Bullet in the Brain"  Tracy Chevalier, "The Glassmaker"     At the table: Kathleen Volk Miller, Jason Schneiderman, Samantha Neugebauer, Dagne Forrest, Lisa Zerkle, Divina Boko, Jess Fielo (sound engineer)  Christopher Brean Murray's book, Black Observatory (Milkweed Editions), was chosen by Dana Levin as the winner of the 2022 Jake Adam York Prize and was listed by The New York Public Library as one of the Best Books of 2023.

We wade into the world of documentary filmmaking with Sandi Tan's SHIRKERS (2018), which reflects on Tan's teenage experience of making a movie with her friends and losing the footage after their teacher steals it. The movie's “layers of aboutness,” as we writerly types love to say, are plentiful—and get into as much as we can wrap our heads and hearts around: magical realism, punk spirit, youthful determination, and how to live a life that is in service to your art.  Email your own musings and questions to tellmeimsorry@gmail.com Follow us: The podcast's Instagram: @tellmeimsorry Maggie's Instagram: @_saint_margaret_ Marin's Letterboxd: @marinharrington  Secondary texts referenced: “Lessons of the Line: Charles Simic and Me” by Dana Levin (from the Yale Review, spring 2024 issue) “After the World-Breaking, World-Building” by Vanessa Angélica Villarreal (from Magical/Realism: Essays on Music, Memory, Fantasy, and Borders)

Planet Poet-Words in Space – NEW PODCAST!  LISTEN to my WIOX show (originally aired April 11th, 2023) featuring award-winning poet Christopher Brean Murray whose debut collection Black Observatory, published by Milkweed Editions, was selected by Dana Levin as the winner of the 2021-22 Jake Adam York Prize.   Planet Poet's Poet-at-Large, writer and visual artist Pamela Manché Pearce also joins us on the program to bring us her unique poetic insights and the latest in poetry news Christopher Brean Murray has received awards from the Academy of American Poets and Inprint Houston and he served as online poetry editor of Gulf Coast.  His poems have appeared in American Poetry Review, Colorado Review, Copper Nickel, New Ohio Review, Washington Square Review and other journals. He lives in Houston, Texas. “Its very strangeness, its eccentric lenses on cis masculinity, and its simple, formal elegance called me to Black Observatory.  Reading these poems is like embarking on a Twilight Zone episode where Franz Kafka bumps into Salvador Dali in a hardware store, and dark, absurdist adventures ensue; where ‘Crimes of the Future' involve ‘Quitting a job everyone agrees you should keep' and ‘Kissing a foreigner in a time of war.”  There's sweetness here, too, and deep thought and feeling – this is a singular debut by a singular sensibility:  no one else sounds like Murray.”  -- Dana Levin “In Christopher Brean Murray's Black Observatory, characters set out on adventures in a world not quite like our own.  They enter museums of impossible objects, venture down forest paths to strangely abandoned settlements, or wander along the industrial outskirts of eerie cities.  All at once, the new American painters – all of them? everywhere? – act in unison, as if their simultaneous cooperation had some specific, perhaps insidious intent. Here, everything is off-kilter and mysterious.  Speakers move thorough unnerving landscapes with a mixture of curiosity, ambivalence, and moments of startling insight.  This is a brilliant first book, one I will return to with pleasure.” – Kevin Prufer

Stef Russell talks to Maryville University's Germaine Murray (Professor of English & Humanities) and Dana Levin (Distinguished Writer-in-Residence) as they walk us through "Whitman: Up Close," an exhibit at the May Gallery. The show, on view through October 18, is part of "Whitmania!", a semester-long celebration of all things Whitman on the occasion of his 200th birthday. Germaine and Dana talked about why Whitman considered himself more printer than poet, his love of technology, and his surprising ties to St. Louis. Note: because this is a field recording, there's some mic noise throughout, most noticeably at the halfway point; rather than pull that section (where mic noise overlaps voices), we left it intact, because we didn't want to lose the commentary about naked Walt Whitman (!) and the photographer Thomas Eakins. "Whitmania!" wraps up on November 3 with "Whitman Set to Song," a concert in the Maryville University Auditorium.Whitmania! https://www.maryville.edu/whitmania/https://stlouispoetrycenter.org/whitmania/The Morton J.

We're pleased to present a reading by Dana Levin, recorded at the 2010 Port Townsend Writers' Conference.  It all started in 1974 with the founding of the Port Townsend Writers’ Conference by novelist Bill Ransom, who envisioned an egalitarian, non-hierarchical conference where the emphasis was on the craft of literary writing. Such writers and welcomers as Jim Heynen, Carol Jane Bangs, Sam Hamill, Rebecca Brown, and many others continued this emphasis on the writing craft over the next few decades, and the Conference has become an annual pilgrimage for many. Whether you’re seeking to create or revise new work, find writing community, or simply desire a writing retreat in an inspirational location, Centrum is at the heart of the thriving Pacific Northwest literary scene. The list of Port Townsend Writers’ Conference faculty members is long and distinguished.
