Title: Languaging in Hampton Roads Episode 6: Creative Community: Spoken Word in Hampton Roads Hosts: Jill Winkowski and Prue Salasky Date: June 30, 2024 Length: 35:59 minutes In this sixth episode of our podcast, languagingHR, we explore the world of spoken word poetry in Hampton Roads. To understand when spoken word poetry is and its nuances, we interviewed three local poets, Tanya Cunningham, George Mendez, and Lacroy Nixon. We asked them questions such as: What is spoken word poetry?, How do you connect with your audience?, What do you love about the art form?, and What is SLAM poetry? Each of the poets perform one of their pieces during this episode. Tanya performs “Bread,” George performs, “The Nature of Things,” and Lacroy performs “Play by Play.” Spoken word poetry is the performance of original poetry in a spoken word community and sometime for competition. Poems are usually personal in nature and the performance of them is essential to the art form. The poets that we interviewed come to poetry with their unique perspectives and backgrounds. George, who had his own hip-hop label in his teens, came to spoken word poetry through writing at a young age and journeying through music to the spoken word format. He had been the host of the open mic at The Venue on 35th Street for many years and is now artist-in-residence there. Lacroy was encouraged to write by a high school teacher after she asked if she could read his work to the class. He had been focusing on mechanical engineering at that time and went on to compete in a national NAACP competition in the categories of poetry and, yes, mechanical engineering. Lacroy started and runs the nonprofit SLAM Connection in Williamsburg, which combines spoken word poetry events and workshops with service to the community. He is also a competing member of the SLAM team Verbbenders. Tanya Cunningham was a writer early on and later took a creative writing class with Dr. Hollis Pruitt at Tidewater Community College. For the final project, the students read their work aloud. Dr. Pruitt invited guests to that reading and one of those guests was poet Ann Shalaski. Tanya kept reading at open mics to continue the connection with community that was fostered during that class. Tanya is co-editor with J. Scott Wilson of 757 Perspectives, an anthology of local poetry. Although this podcast focused on more general language themes such as audience and language community, we did learn some new terms. We highlighted three of those during the episode: scheming, or the use of an underlying theme to foreground story; deep pockets, which is a term for a spoken word poet that has a number of poems (at least eight!) ready to perform at any time; and finally, the term calibration poet, which describes the poet that goes first in a SLAM competition. Note: We referred to Joshua Bennett's book Spoken Word: A Cultural History. Knopf, 2023. 757 Perspectives, Volumes I and II, eds, J Scott Wilson and Tanya Cunningham are available online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

“In 2009, when he was twenty years old, Joshua Bennett was invited to perform a spoken word poem for Barack and Michelle Obama, at the same White House "Poetry Jam" where Lin-Manuel Miranda declaimed the opening bars of a work-in-progress that would soon revolutionize American theater. That meeting is but one among many in the trajectory of Bennett's young life, as he rode the cresting wave of spoken word through the 2010s.” In his newest book Spoken Word: A Cultural History (March 28, 2023), Bennett unpacks the roots of spoken word poetry, the Black Arts movement, and the prominence of poetry and song in Black education. He joins Tavis to discuss.

The Ordination of Jessica and Joshua Bennett

Today's poem is Trash by Joshua Bennett.

We have a very exciting announcement! Refresh your memory of the first case we ever investigated before our TV debut on the case, September 18th, 2022! Was it jealousy or witchcraft that led a group of friends to attack a sleeping family in the middle of the night late one August? In this week's episode we explore the motives behind the 2005 murder of Joshua Bennett. Who was the real target? Was someone casting hexes in this small Illinois town? What had they done to invoke the wrath of five people they didn't know?

In this episode, I fangirl over Deborah Roberts, mixed media artist living and working in Houston, Texas. This is not an interview with Deborah. But instead, I give a heartfelt goddess shoutout. And I share details about her work, and why she inspires me enough to devote an entire podcast episode to her!I also share about my own personal experiences with mixed media art-making, as I am also a mixed-media artist (sort of). And I offer information about how to find, follow, and fangirl this incredibly talented, dedicated, and phenomenal artist. Deborah Roberts' work has been exhibited internationally across the US and Europe; and is included in collections at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Brooklyn Museum, The Studio Museum in Harlem, NYC, and LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art), among others. Her work has been published in Art in America, Vogue, New York Magazine, Harper's Bazaar, and New York Times. Roberts received her MFA from Syracuse University, New York.“My process combines found and manipulated images with hand drawn and painted details to create hybrid figures. These figures often take the form of young girls and increasingly Black boys, whose well-being and futures are equally threatened because of the double standard of boyhood and criminality that is projected on them at such a young age. The boys and girls who populate my work, while subject to societal pressures and projected images, are still unfixed in their identity. Each child has character and agency to find their own way amidst the complicated narratives of American, African American and art history.” -Deborah RobertsAlso mentioned in this episode: Deborah Roberts website: http://www.deborahrobertsart.com/Follow Deborah Roberts on Instagram @rdeborah191: https://www.instagram.com/rdeborah191/  Art in America, “I Will Not Be Taught How To Behave” article by Joshua Bennett: https://www.artnews.com/art-in-america/features/deborah-roberts-collage-defiance-black-children-1234591645/ 4 Ways To Create Meaningful Art: https://thegoddessattainable.com/4-ways-to-create-meaningful-art/ Beauty Hurts In The Eyes Of An Artist: https://thegoddessattainable.com/beauty-hurts-in-the-eyes-of-an-artist/ Libby Saylor collages: https://www.libbysaylor.com/collages.htmlLibby Saylor mom collages: https://www.libbysaylor.com/mom.html Libby Saylor Urbanscapes (childhood memory paintings): https://www.libbysaylor.com/urbanscapes.htmlSupport the show

In this conversation we discuss Owed, as well as Bennett's evolving relationship to spirituality, his process of learning to write out loud through poetry slams, and his experience of being a new father. Bennett is also the author of the poetry volume The Sobbing School, the monograph Being Property Once Myself, and the upcoming Spoken Word: A Cultural History. Andy Boyd is a playwright based in Brooklyn, New York. He is a graduate of the playwriting MFA at Columbia University, Harvard University, and the Arizona School for the Arts.

Build Your South Dakota Bookshelf dives in to the our literary heritage with a look at the state's iconic, lesser known, and even quirky literary offerings. For this episode, host Lori Walsh talks with SDPB's Seth Tupper about what he found inside the pages of a dusty library book that informed his knowledge about the places he hikes today. Today's book is called "Ambrose Bierce and the Black Hills" by Paul Fatout, available at the Rapid City Library. The prestigious Whiting Prizes are announced on Wednesday, April 14. We get to know Joshua Bennett . He's a former In the Moment guest and rising star in the literary world.

Read by poet Joshua Bennett and introduced by Nikhil Pal Singh. Born in 1923, Jack O'Dell grew up in Detroit before becoming a merchant mariner and joining the National Maritime Union. It was this experience in the labor movement that led O'Dell to begin organizing sharecroppers and poor Black service workers in Alabama and Louisiana. He would later join Martin Luther King Jr.'s Southern Christian Leadership Conference—until he was forced to leave due to his communist past. This episode dives into O'Dell's essay “The July Rebellions and the ‘Military State.'” A searing analysis of the “long hot summer” of 1967 that saw rebellions across the country, O'Dell argues that the violent response of the police was unjustified, and that moves to suppress the uprisings were reactionary. “This really is one of his most harsh and confrontational essays. When he writes that ‘policemanship as a style of government is no longer confined to a southern way of life,' he is making clear that racism and white supremacy have actually shaped the nation as a whole. They're not regionally discrete, or solely a southern question. They have a wider global significance. And O'Dell goes on to emphasize how the oppression that Blacks suffer inside the United States is similar to the conditions that exist in areas of the world that have been struggling against colonialism.” — Nikhil Pal Singh

Joshua Bennett is joined in conversation with Tongo Eisen Martin, Jesse McCarthy, and Simone White to discuss his new book "Being Property Once Myself: Blackness and the End of Man" published by Belknap Press/Harvard University Press. The prize-winning poet Joshua Bennett argues that blackness acts as the caesura between human and nonhuman, man and animal. This event was originally broadcast live via Zoom and hosted by Josiah Luis Alderete. Joshua Bennett is the author of The Sobbing School, winner of the National Poetry Series and a finalist for the NAACP Image Award. He has received grants and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Ford Foundation, and MIT and was a Junior Fellow in the Harvard Society of Fellows. He is the Mellon Assistant Professor of English and Creative Writing at Dartmouth College. Tongo Eisen-Martin is the author of Heaven Is All Goodbyes (City Lights Books, 2017) and someone's dead already (Boostrap Press, 2015) and his poetry has been featured in Harper's Magazine and New York Times Magazine. Heaven Is All Goobyes was shortlisted for the Griffin International Poetry Prize and awarded the California Book Award for Poetry, an American Book Award, and a PEN Oakland Book Award. He is also a movement worker and educator whose work in Rikers Island was featured in the New York Times. He has been a faculty member at the Institute for Research in African-American Studies at Columbia University, and his curriculum on extrajudicial killing of Black people, "We Charge Genocide Again!" has been used as an educational and organizing tool throughout the country. He's from San Francisco. Jesse McCarthy is assistant professor jointly appointed in the Department of English and the Department of African and African American Studies at Harvard University. His research is concerned with the intersection between politics and aesthetics in African American literature, postwar or post-45 literary history, and Black Studies. His dissertation The Blue Period: Black Writing in the Early Cold War, 1945 – 1965 argues for a reinterpretation of black literary aesthetics in the early Cold War and for the value of a discrete periodization of that era. He is also interested in modernism, film, poetics and translation. While a graduate student at Princeton he founded a Digital Humanities project based on the Sylvia Beach archives held at Princeton's Firestone Library called Mapping Expatriate Paris. His writing on culture, politics, and literature has appeared in The New York Times Book Review, The Nation, Dissent, The New Republic and n+1. He also serves as an editor at The Point.

In this week’s episode, Bennett and Monson get into literary ancestors, Monson’s top 5 rappers of all time, and what the future of poetry in this country might look like (if we are brave enough to invest in our young people).  Monson spoke to us from the Michigan Department of Corrections in Freeland, Michigan. His poems are featured in “The Practice of Freedom” issue, which focuses on poetry and visual art produced by artists who have been directly affected by the criminal legal system. Joshua Bennett guest edited the issue alongside Tara Betts and Sarah Ross.  In Bennett words, “Justin Monson is one of the most courageous, original, daring poets working today. I first encountered his work three years ago, as a judge for PEN America’s Writing for Justice Fellowship, and was absolutely taken aback from the very first lines. The work shimmered. Monson has a fantastic ear, and a citational breadth that is truly a wonder to behold; it’s clear that he reads, and listens, to everything. Postcolonial theory, 90s hip-hop, erasure poetry. It’s all there. All of these traditions are part of the world Monson paints on the page, and is generous enough to share with us.”

Today's poem is Owed to the 99 Cent Store by Joshua Bennett.

Throughout US history, black people have been configured as sociolegal nonpersons, a subgenre of the human. Being Property Once Myself: Blackness and the End of Man (Harvard University Press, 2020) delves into the literary imagination and ethical concerns that have emerged from this experience. Each chapter tracks a specific animal figure―the rat, the cock, the mule, the dog, and the shark―in the works of black authors such as Richard Wright, Toni Morrison, Zora Neale Hurston, Jesmyn Ward, and Robert Hayden. The plantation, the wilderness, the kitchenette overrun with pests, the simultaneous valuation and sale of animals and enslaved people―all are sites made unforgettable by literature in which we find black and animal life in fraught proximity. Joshua Bennett argues that animal figures are deployed in these texts to assert a theory of black sociality and to combat dominant claims about the limits of personhood. Bennett also turns to the black radical tradition to challenge the pervasiveness of antiblackness in discourses surrounding the environment and animals. Being Property Once Myself is an incisive work of literary criticism and a close reading of undertheorized notions of dehumanization and the Anthropocene.

Wayne Williams was convicted of the murders of two young adults in 1982, supposedly bringing an end to the reign of terror of the “Atlanta Monster.” But the cases of at least 27 other missing or murdered African American children were abruptly closed in the aftermath of his conviction, leaving the surviving families with little peace, and no semblance of closure. We spoke with three of the Directors of HBO’s new series, “Atlanta’s Missing and Murdered: The Lost Children” - about their experience creating the new groundbreaking series, and what new light they hope to shed on the now 40-year-old cases. Their investigation uncovered shocking details of evidence tampering, perjury, and widespread cover-up at the highest levels of government and law enforcement.  Special thanks to award-winning Directors Sam Pollard, Maro Chermayeff, and Joshua Bennett for participating in this episode.    Try Invisible Choir UNCENSORED for FREE.  Learn more at  https://www.invisiblechoir.com/uncensored Special Podcast Promo:  90s Crime Time   Visit Invisible Choir on the web:  Patreon - Invisible Choir Premium:  https://www.patreon.com/InvisibleChoir  Website:  https://www.invisiblechoir.com/  Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/InvisibleChoirPodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/invisiblechoir/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/InvisibleChoir   Written/Audio Sources:  Wayne Williams 1980s Footage Did Wayne Williams kill anyone?

"Soundbreaking" Series Interview with Joshua Bennett Stories From The Cutting Edge of Recorded Music, from Music Today If you're watching the new series on PBS, “Soundbreaking” like we are in our house, you know this is something to behold. If not, well, either way, we've got a treat for you with today's guest. “Soundbreaking” is the brilliant, spanking new documentary from PBS in association with Sir George Martin, and is produced by Show Of Force. We're joined today via SKYPE with Show Of Force executive and one of “Soundbreaking's” producers, Joshua Bennett. If you're watching Soundbreaking, which is airing currently on PBS (check your local listings), you'll agree, it is well worth it.  There is something to be said for hearing that heavenly chorus of voices as the song “God Only Knows,” by the Beach Boys, or Neil Young's voice on “Don't Let it Bring You Down,” and Amy Winehouse, Sly Stone, Bonnie Raitt, Little Richard, Fleetwood Mac, the Staples Singers,  or any of the other 160 musicians, and other music professionals, all of whom extol the music recording innovation tracing a sonic revolution.  The rare footage, the stories the artist's tell, the music, and the never before seen creative process push along Soundbreaking's story telling, emphasizing music's ability to carry us back and forward at the same moment.  Trust me when I tell you, you'll never hear these songs the same way again! Check PBS for the series, and each "Soundbreaking" episode will be made available for next-day digital purchase via multiple platforms including iTunes, Amazon Video, Vudu, Google Play, Microsoft Movies & TV and Sony Interactive Entertainment. The series will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on Tuesday, November 29. Enjoy!
