What can you gain when you lose your vision? Christine Ha was in her early 20s when she began losing her sight. Instead of giving up on her dreams, she taught herself how to cook - so well, in fact, that she became the first and only person who is blind to win MasterChef. Now, she’s a celebrated chef and author who’s proving that great cooking is about taste, texture, and trust - not sight. And Edward Hirsch, a poet who began losing his sight later in life, discovered something unexpected - exhilaration. He says that blindness has made him more alive, more curious, and more connected to the world in ways he never expected.

Join Dion O'Reilly as she talks with Ed Hirsch about 100 Poems to Break Your Heart. Edward Hirsch, a MacArthur Fellow, has published ten books of poems, including The Living Fire, Gabriel: A Poem. and Stranger by Night. He has also published six prose books about poetry, among them, How to Read a Poem and Fall in Love with Poetry, a national bestseller, 100 Poems to Break Your Heart, and The Heart of American Poetry. He is president of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.

Poet, editor, translator, and critic Louis Simpson was born in Jamaica to Scottish and Russian parents. He moved to the United States when he was 17 to study at Columbia University. After his time in the army, and a brief period in France, Simpson worked as an editor in New York City before completing his PhD at Columbia. He taught at colleges such as Columbia University, the University of California, Berkeley, and the State University of New York at Stony Brook.A contemporary of confessional poets like Robert Lowell, John Berryman, and Sylvia Plath, Simpson's early work followed a familiar arc. In the New York Times Book Review, critic David Orr noted its highlights: “Simpson has followed a path lined with signposts sunk so deep in our nation's poetic terra firma that they've practically become part of the landscape. Those signposts declare that a poet born in or around the 1920s should (1) begin his career writing witty, ironic formal poems bearing the stamp of Eliot and Auden; then (2) abandon that formalism for a more 'natural' free verse approach, while (3) dabbling in surrealism; until (4) finally settling on social, conversational poems in the manner of a man speaking to men.” While Simpson's early books like The Arrivistes (1949) and A Dream of Governors (1959) show the influence of Auden, they also speak to his horrific experiences in World War II, where he served in the 101st Airborne Division and saw active duty in France, Belgium, and Germany. Simpson's intense formal control, at odds with the visceral details of soldiering, also earned him comparisons to Wilfred Owen. At the End of the Open Road (1963) won the Pulitzer Prize and marked a shift in Simpson's poetry as well. In this and later volumes, like Searching for the Ox (1976) and The Best Hour of the Night (1983), Simpson's simple diction and formally controlled verses reveal hidden layers of meaning.Simpson's lifelong expatriate status influenced his poetry, and he often uses the lives of ordinary Americans in order to critically investigate the myths the country tells itself. Though he occasionally revisits the West Indies of his childhood, he always keeps one foot in his adopted country. The outsider's perspective allows him to confront “the terror and beauty of life with a wry sense of humor and a mysterious sense of fate,” wrote Edward Hirsch of the Washington Post. Elsewhere Hirsch described Simpson's Pulitzer Prize-winning collection, At the End of the Open Road (1963), as “a sustained meditation on the American character,” noting, “The moral genius of this book is that it traverses the open road of American mythology and brings us back to ourselves; it sees us not as we wish to be but as we are.” Collected Poems (1988) and There You Are (1995) focus on the lives of everyday citizens, using simple diction and narratives to expose the bewildering reality of the American dream. Poet Mark Jarman hailed Simpson as “a poet of the American character and vernacular.”A noted scholar and critic, Simpson published a number of literary studies, including Ships Going Into the Blue: Essays and Notes on Poetry (1994), The Character of the Poet (1986), and Three on the Tower: The Lives and Works of Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, and William Carlos Williams (1975). Simpson also penned a novel, Riverside Drive (1962), and the autobiographies The King My Father's Wreck (1994) and North of Jamaica (1972).Simpson's later work included The Owner of the House: New Collected Poems (2003), a collection that spans his 60-year career, and Struggling Times (2009). In addition to the Pulitzer Prize, Simpson received numerous awards and accolades, including the Prix de Rome, the Columbia Medal for Excellence, and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation. He was a finalist for the prestigious Griffin International Poetry Award, and his translation of Modern Poets of France: A Bilingual Anthology (1997) won the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award.Simposon died in Setauket, New York in 2012.-bio via Poetry Foundation Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

This week, poets Angela Jackson, Johanny Vázquez Paz, Faisal Mohyuddin, and Carlos Cumpián read from and discuss their contributions to the recent collection Wherever I'm At: An Anthology of Chicago Poetry. The following conversation originally took place May 15, 2022 and was recorded live at the American Writers Festival. AWM PODCAST NETWORK HOME About Wherever I'm At: The Chicago Literary Hall of Fame has partnered with Chicago publishers After Hours Press and Third World Press to produce a definitive collection of poetry by living Chicago poets. "Wherever I'm At: An Anthology of Chicago Poetry" features the work of a widely diverse list of over 160 poets and artists all with strong ties to Chicagoland. With a Foreword by noted scholar Carlo Rotello, the new anthology is edited by Donald G. Evans (executive director of the Chicago Literary Hall of Fame) who completed the project begun by the late poet-editor-teacher Robin Metz formerly of Knox College. A dazzling array of voices representing many generations of Chicagoans grace the pages of "Wherever I'm At" including essential poets such as Li-Young Lee, Elizabeth Alexander, Stuart Dybek, Angela Jackson, Tyehimba Jess, Sandra Cisneros, Campbell McGrath, Ana Castillo, Maxine Chernoff, Patricia Smith, Edward Hirsch, Kathleen Rooney, Luis Alberto Urrea, Emily Jungmin Yoon, Luis J. Rodriguez, Elise Paschen, Sterling Plumpp, Marianne Boruch, Haki Madhubuti, Rachel DeWoskin, Ed Roberson, Tara Betts, and Reginald Gibbons, to name a few. The list is exhaustive in its diversity and according to editor Don Evans, deliberately so. This anthology also showcases the incredible visuals of an equally talented group of Chicago artists whose work amplifies the poetic musings throughout.

Edward Hirsch has a B.A. in philosophy from Queens College, NY (followed by two years of graduate work in philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin), and an M.A. in Transpersonal Counselling from John F. Kennedy University, CA. He studied over six years with Hameed Ali and his senior students. Hameed was the founder of the Diamond Heart School, where he learned the embodied Practice of Presence and a deep integration of spirituality and psychology. Earlier, he was a student of Adi Da for about two years, living up on his land but not part of the inner circle. There, the emphasis was more on the role of guru and grace, as well as deep spiritual recognition of radical Truth. As Da's radical teachings deeply resonated with his own intuitions, the teaching stayed with him long after leaving Da as his guru. He has studied and practiced in many traditions, East and West, North and South, including esoteric Christianity, kundalini yoga, and to a lesser extent, shamanism. He continues to keep abreast of developments in the contemporary spiritual landscape, including teachings of a wide variety of views, but mostly aligning with nondual, embodied, nondenominational, evolutionary, and integral approaches, finding ways of integrating seemingly opposite points of view in a broad sense of Sacred Mystery. A quote by Ed :- "Presence is the Open Secret, hidden in the plain obviousness of (uninspected) ordinary experience. And the simple Practice of Presence that supports the alchemy is also hidden in just that way." We spoke about Ed's life and simplified the seemingly complex ideas of spirituality and non-duality. The passion for his craft is clear.   WEBSITE ➣ https://www.alexhickman.co.uk WRITING ➣ https://dancingparadox.substack.com/

Poets Victoria Chang and Vijay Seshradi join poet and editor Edward Hirsch to celebrate the publication of the anthology 100 Poems to Break Your Heart. Hirsch, whose exploratory essays accompany each poem in the book, discusses the craft of writing about grief, and each poet reads a poem (Stanley Kunitz's "Halley's Comet, Chang's "Blue Dress", and Seshadri's "Aphasia"), discussing the work of each piece in transforming overwhelming emotion into art. (Recorded April 5, 2021)

Poems give language and voice to the things that are sometimes incommunicable. Edward Hirsch knows something about this.

On Tuesday's Houston Matters: Gov. Greg Abbott has signed into law a bill banning any “governmental entity” from creating so-called “vaccine passports” that would certify someone's vaccination status or share it for any reason other than for health care. The new law comes as unvaccinated Houston Methodist nurses staged a walkout Monday over that hospital group's requirement that its employees be vaccinated or risk suspension -- or even termination. Does this new law affect that policy? And might any other hospital or health care groups follow Methodist's lead? Also this hour: Houston City Councilman Edward Pollard answers your questions. Then, a new book dispels many of the myths about the siege of The Alamo in 1836 and explores how those untruths took hold in our public conscience. We talk with Chris Tomlinson, one of a trio of co-authors of Forget the Alamo. And poet Edward Hirsch, formerly a professor at the University of Houston's creative writing program, discusses how poets throughout the ages addressed grief and how poetry can make something beautiful out of sorrow. It's the subject of his latest book, 100 Poems to Break Your Heart.

In episode 173 of The Quarantine Tapes, Paul Holdengräber is joined by writer and poet Edward Hirsch. Edward talks with Paul about the busy-ness of the past year, and the challenge of spending this time away from his poetry library. Without his books to reference, Edward talks about what it means to internalize the magical moments when literature speaks to you.His upcoming book, 100 Poems to Break Your Heart, will be published later this month. Edward and Paul talk about how American culture, in particular, is unprepared for grief, and often forgets to feel the heartbreak. He then describes the power poetry can play in addressing grief, tapping in to the place that allows one to feel. Edward shares two of the one hundred poems from his new book, before turning to his own poetry, and digging in to the interesting, and opposite, challenge of finding a language for happiness in poetry. Edward Hirsch is a celebrated poet and peerless advocate for poetry. He was born in Chicago in 1950—his accent makes it impossible for him to hide his origins—and educated at Grinnell College and the University of Pennsylvania, where he received a Ph.D. in Folklore.

Production and Sound Design by Kevin Seaman For the Sleepwalkersby Edward Hirsch Tonight I want to say something wonderfulfor the sleepwalkers who have so much faithin their legs, so much faith in the invisible arrow carved into the carpet, the worn paththat leads to the stairs instead of the window,the gaping doorway instead of the seamless mirror. I love the way that sleepwalkers are willingto step out of their bodies into the night,to raise their arms and welcome the darkness, palming the blank spaces, touching everything.Always they return home safely, like blind menwho know it is morning by feeling shadows. And always they wake up as themselves again.That’s why I want to say something astonishinglike: Our hearts are leaving our bodies. Our hearts are thirsty black handkerchiefsflying through the trees at night, soaking upthe darkest beams of moonlight, the music of owls, the motion of wind-torn branches.And now our hearts are thick black fistsflying back to the glove of our chests. We have to learn to trust our hearts like that.We have to learn the desperate faith of sleep-walkers who rise out of their calm beds and walk through the skin of another life.We have to drink the stupefying cup of darknessand wake up to ourselves, nourished and surprised.

It's a pledge drive special edition of Access Utah today. My special guest for the hour is rare bookseller Ken Sanders. We'll reach into the archives for parts of some of our favorite episodes of the program. We'll hear a segment from our conversation on the exhibit Glen Canyon: A River Guide Remembers. Then we'll revisit a portion of our interview on poetry with Edward Hirsch and Michael Sowder. And finally, we'll hear from Anthony Doerr, author of "All the Light We Cannot See."

Edward Hirsch is the celebrated author of nine books of poetry. He is also the author of “A Poet's Glossary,” a complete compendium of poetry terms and the author of the bestseller about poetry, “How to Read a Poem and Fall in Love with Poetry.” He has received numerous awards and fellowships, including a MacArthur Fellowship, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Prix de Rome.

This is the first episode of Between Oceans and Gold Teeth, in which Joel and Basie talk about William Shakespeare's 14th sonnet "Not from the stars do I my judgement pluck." If you'd like to read it, you can find it here: http://www.shakespeares-sonnets.com/sonnet/14 On another note, the title and author of the book that Basie forgets is How to Read a Poem by Edward Hirsch. Thank you for listening. We hope you enjoy. This poem is in the public domain.

The beloved poet Marie Ponsot returns to her alma mater, St. Joseph's College in Brooklyn, for an evening celebrating the publication of her magisterial Collected Poems. A constellation of poetry world luminaries reads poems and shares impressions of the great writer's work and life; as one friend observes, “If you want to know what legitimate skill looks like, Marie Ponsot is a model to study. Her force is true, it's genuine, it's powerful, and those who encounter it come away with the knowledge that they have seen something rare. I have seen taxi drivers bow to her.” The evening's speakers include Alice Quinn, L. B. Thompson, Cynthia Zarin, Timothy Small, Rosemary Deen, Edward Hirsch, Hettie Jones, and Jackson Taylor, concluding with a reading by the 95-year-old poet herself.

We speak with Edward Hirsch about The Best American Poetry 2016. Edward Hirsch has published 9 books of poems, including The Living Fire: New and Selected Poems; and Gabriel: A Poem. He has also published five prose books about poetry, including How to Read a Poem and Fall in Love with Poetry. We then talk with Elizabeth Jarrett Andrew about her new novel Hannah, Delivered. She is also the author of Living Revision: Opening the Writer’s Art, Swinging on the Garden Gate: A Spiritual Memoir; Writing the Sacred Journey: The Art and Practice of Spiritual Memoir; and On the Threshold: Home, Hardwood, and Holiness.

The Walled Wife (Red Hen Press) A woman is buried so a church will rise. Nicelle Davis’ The Walled Wife unearths from the long-standing text “The Ballad of the Walled-up Wife,” a host of issues that continue to plague women in the contemporary world: the woman’s body as sacrifice; the woman’s body as tender or currency; the woman’s body as disposable; the woman’s body as property; the woman’s body as aesthetic object; the woman’s body unsafe in the world she must inhabit, and in the hands of the people she loves. By unearthing “this fucked-up story,” found in a centuries-old folktale (The Ballad of the Walled-Up Wife) Nicelle Davis’ poems remind us that narratives, like the individuals and cultures that produce them, are imperfect structures. However, through her intelligent and effective use of craft and voice, and the heartbreaking vulnerability with which she engages the perspectives within and without the story, Davis avoids simple replication; she does not “rebuild a corrupt structure.” Rather, she exhibits in The Walled Wife the powerful and expansive possibilities of narrative. This collection makes space (in the narrative, and thus in the reader, and thus in the culture) for so much—for remorse from the builder, for sorrow from the husband, but mostly for this sacrificed woman to be angry, to feel betrayed, to be avenged, to tend to her inner life in the hours of her death, to speak her truth, and insist on her humanity. These poems allow the wife to mourn her stolen life, and as we mourn with her, they enrich our possibilities for empowerment and empathy in the narratives of our lives.  A poetry reading for ugly bridesmaid dresses. Poetry readings, refreshments, photo ops, and an ugly bridesmaid contest competition. Moderated by Juicee Courture.  Nicelle Davis is a California poet, collaborator, and performance artist who walks the desert with her son J.J. in search of owl pellets and rattlesnake skins. She is the author of four poetry collections including her most recent, The Walled Wife, from Red Hen Press. In the Circus of You is available from Rose Metal Press, Becoming Judas, is available from Red Hen Press and her first book, Circe, is available from Lowbrow Press. Her poetry film collaborations with Cheryl Gross have been shown across the world. She is currently working on the manuscript/play, On the Island of Caliban which was recently workshopped by The Industrial Players. She has taught poetry at Youth for Positive Change, an organization that promotes success for youth in secondary schools, MHA, Volunteers of America in their Homeless Youth Center, and with Red Hen’s WITS program.
