The American Poet Laureate: A History of U.S. Poetry and the State (Columbia University Press, 2023) by Dr. Amy Paeth shows how the state has been the silent centre of poetic production in the United States since World War II. It is the first history of the national poetry office, the U.S. poet laureate, highlighting the careers of Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Frost, Gwendolyn Brooks, Robert Pinsky, Tracy K. Smith, Juan Felipe Herrera, and Joy Harjo at the nation's Capitol. It is also a history of how these state poets participated in national arts programming during the Cold War. Drawing on previously unexplored archival materials at the Library of Congress and materials at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, Dr. Paeth describes the interactions of federal bodies, including the Central Intelligence Agency, the State Department, and the National Endowment for the Arts, with literary organisations and with private patrons, including “Prozac heiress” Ruth Lilly. The consolidation of public and private interests is crucial to the development of state verse culture, recognizable at the first National Poetry Festival in 1962, which followed Robert Frost's “Mission to Moscow,” and which became dominant in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The American Poet Laureate contributes to a growing body of institutional and sociological approaches to U.S. literary production in the postwar era and demonstrates how poetry has played a uniquely important, and largely underacknowledged, role in the cultural front of the Cold War. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Manuel Iris talks with poet and academic Rossy Evelin Lima-Padilla. In this episode, Rossy shares how she crossed the border as an undocumented minor.

In 2015, she was recognized in Venice for her poem, Citlalicue with an International poetry award (Premio Internazionale di Poesia Altino).

Former U.S. Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera shares poems that consider the questions, what exactly is poetry? What does it do? Herrera crafts an expansive answer to these questions through Marvin Bell's reflection on poetry as philosophy (“The Poem”), Denise Levertov's engagement with truth in sacred spaces (“The Day the Audience Walked Out on Me, and Why”), and Lorna Dee Cervantes's assertion that poetry is the force and form of resistance (“From the Bus to E.L. at Atascadero State Hospital”). To close, Herrera shares his poem “For George Floyd, Who Was a Great Man,” a work that encapsulates humanity, compassion, action, and protest.  You can listen to the full recordings of Bell, Levertov, and Cervantes reading for the Poetry Center on Voca:Marvin Bell (1977)Denise Levertov (1973) Lorna Dee Cervantes (1991)You can also enjoy two recordings of Juan Felipe Herrera on Voca, from 1993 and 2009.Have you checked out the new Voca interface?

She shares Layli Long Soldier's exploration of wholeness and mother-daughter relationships (“WHEREAS her birth signaled…”), Juan Felipe Herrera's centering of people and complexity (“Let Us Gather in a Flourishing Way”), and Richard Siken's breaking of the fourth wall to implicate the reader (“Planet of Love”).

Anthony Cody selects poems that ask hard questions about war, borders, gender, power, US history, and ourselves—questions asked in order to remind us of the discomfort necessary for change on individual and collective levels. Cody shares Pat Mora's inversion of relationships between speaker and audience, pursuer and pursued (“La Migra”), Michael S. Harper's use of staccato repetition to sear atrocity into memory (“A White Friend Flies in from the Coast”), and Diana García's revelation of truths that span generations (Excerpts from “Serpentine Voices”). Cody closes with his translation of Juan Felipe Herrera's “Dudo las Luces / I Question the Lights,” which draws attention to the forgotten in our political landscape.You can find the full recordings of Mora, Harper, and García reading for the Poetry Center on Voca:Pat Mora (1996)Michael S.

The last five years highlighted the racism, xenophobia, and islamophobia which exists in American society—but it didn't start then. In his new book Go Back to Where You Came From And Other Helpful Recommendations on How to Become American, my guest Wajahat Ali takes a clear-eyed and very funny look at this dark part of our American identity. "Wajahat Ali's deeply personal and keenly perceptive memoir is a clear-eyed account of his American immigrant experience.… We are all fortunate to be on the receiving end of not only his intellect, but his humanity and heart." ― Katie Couric, Emmy Award-winning journalist "This is the book I've been hoping Wajahat Ali would write for ten years―hilarious, stylistically fearless, deeply humane." ― Dave Eggers, author of The Every "Wajahat Ali has already proven that he is the fastest mind on TV. Now his fans can sample his brilliance on the page." ― Ishmael Reed, author of The Terrible Fours "This book is a tour de force―equal parts tragedy and laugh-out-loud comedy. With brazen wit, rigorous analysis, and searing insight, Wajahat Ali speaks to the first-generation American's dilemma of being both ‘us' and ‘them.'" ― Suleika Jaouad, author of Between Two Kingdoms "A hilarious and heartwarming treatise on what it truly means to be American in the twenty-first century. You'll be laughing so hard you won't even notice the inevitable Islamic takeover of America! Oops, I've said too much." ― Reza Aslan, author of God: A Human History "Wajahat Ali brilliantly and lovingly unpacks the complicated history and urgent lived experience of being otherized in America.… [A] rich feast for all the senses―a must-read." ― S. E. Cupp, author of Losing Our Religion "This powerful and moving book is, at its heart, a love story. The beloved, flawed and tragic -- so flawed, so tragic -- is America. The lover's hope is always undermined. And yet his hope somehow endures." ― Mohsin Hamid, author of Exit West "Find a place on your bookshelf between Mark Twain and James Baldwin. Read this book before putting it there." ― Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny "With wit and charm, Ali has delivered a masterful meditation on growing up brown in America...An intoxicating rejection of cynicism in the face of existential threats to multiracial democracy, and a clear-eyed call to arms against the forces seeking to stop the expansion of American democracy. An affirmation of the country America could be." ― Mara Gay, editorial board, New York Times "In prose at times hilarious and at other times deeply moving, Wajahat Ali chronicles a uniquely American experience. All will benefit from reading his story." ― Representative Ilhan Omar "Full of wisdom and compassion, not to mention Ali's signature humor. As educational as it is entertaining. I wish my nine-year-old immigrant self had this book when the playground kids were telling me to go back where I came from.”" ― Gary Shteyngart, author of Our Country Friends "A tender knife-sharp analysis of racism . . . personal, painful, familial, and global" ― Juan Felipe Herrera, United States Poet Laureate Emeritus --This text refers to the hardcover edition. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alyssa-milano-sorry-not-sorry/message

“This is a beautiful, powerful book… This story is a great tool for educators and will inspire children to share their stories… This book should be in every library, school, and home.” Julie Su, California Secretary of Labor, President Biden’s nominee for U.S.Deputy Secretary of Labor “As an immigrant myself, the book brought tears of joy thinking of the thousands of young Flors who will see themselves in this book and realize they too can make a difference.” Julieta Garibay, Co-founder of United We Dream “Alejandra gives us a gift of courage and endurance… A magnificent book and model for all ages, schools and communities.” – Juan Felipe Herrera, Poet Laureate of the USA, Emeritus Buy your copy: http://hardballpress.com/little-heroes.html Overview of Para Todos For All PFlor and her father leave their beloved country for the promise of a land called For All. Dad works long hours for little pay, while Flor struggles to find her place in school. In time, Flor realizes that not having the proper immigration papers means her father must work in unfair & unsafe conditions, and that doors of opportunity will be closed to her.

Au cœur du département du Quindio, dans le eje cafetero colombien, Juan Felipe Herrera cultive depuis plusieurs années un café qui ne correspond pas aux standards de la fédération nationale de caféiculteurs. Son café, dit “naturel”, respecte un process ancestral, à savoir qu'il n'est pas lavé après sa récolte. Ceci permet d'économiser d'énormes quantités d'eau, de protéger l'environnement et le paysage magnifique qui entoure sa ferme, mais aussi de sensibiliser les acteurs de ce secteur à de nouveaux modes de production. Son café, appelé “Café Anarkista” est depuis peu importé en France par l'entreprise Un café pour Demain, qui tente de valoriser le travail de ces producteurs de l'autre bout du monde.Rencontre avec Juan Felipe Herrera et Adrien Pommier.
