Recorded by Kim Addonizio for Poem-a-Day, a series produced by the Academy of American Poets. Published on March 12, 2024. www.poets.org

Today's poem is To The Woman Crying Uncontrollably in the Next Stall by Kim Addonizio. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. This week, we're sharing listener stories from the Twin Cities Book Festival. In this episode, our producer, Myka Kielbon, writes… “I think some poets will come at me for this, but for a lot of reasons, poetry is like the original meme. Memes are by definition a form, much like a poetic form. You can put different text upon the same picture, and the picture invites a certain read, much like using a sonnet or sestina. Maybe the proliferation of memes has… simplified our expressions of some experiences. But this expansive vocabulary of internet shorthand has also helped me commune and commiserate and connect with the people in my life over the things we feel and see every day. As our listener A. Rafael told us, those poems which really connect are much the same — they put language to a bit of life that feels large and unwieldy inside of us.”Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

Dorianne Laux is the author of several collections of poetry, including What We Carry (1994), a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award; Smoke (2000); Facts about the Moon (2005), chosen by the poet Ai as winner of the Oregon Book Award and also a finalist for the Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize; The Book of Men (2011), which was awarded the Paterson Prize; and Only As the Day is Long: New and Selected (2019). She has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts, and has been a Pushcart Prize winner. Laux's free-verse poems are sensual and grounded, and they reveal the poet as a compassionate witness to the everyday. She observed in an interview for the website Readwritepoem, “Poems keep us conscious of the importance of our individual lives ... personal witness of a singular life, seen cleanly and with the concomitant well-chosen particulars, is one of the most powerful ways to do this.” Speaking of the qualities she admires most in poetry, Laux added, “Craft is important, a skill to be learned, but it's not the beginning and end of the story. I want the muddled middle to be filled with the gristle of the living.” She was first inspired to write after hearing a poem by Pablo Neruda. Other influences include Sharon Olds, Lucille Clifton, Anne Sexton, and Adrienne Rich.Laux has taught creative writing at the University of Oregon, Pacific University, and North Carolina State University; she has also led summer workshops at Esalen in Big Sur. She is the co-author, with Kim Addonizio, of The Poet's Companion: A Guide to the Pleasures of Writing Poetry (1997). She lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with her husband, poet Joseph Millar.-bio via Poetry Foundation Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

Go on an adventure with this bold, bravura poet's work...*********You Don't Know What Love Isby Kim AddonizioYou don't know what love isbut you know how to raise it in melike a dead girl winched up from a river. How towash off the sludge, the stench of our past.How to start clean. This love even sits upand blinks; amazed, she takes a few shaky steps.Any day now she'll try to eat solid food. She'll wantto get into a fast car, one low to the ground, and driveto some cinderblock shithole in the desertwhere she can drink and get sick and thendance in nothing but her underwear. You knowwhere she's headed, you know she'll wake upwith an ache she can't locate and no moneyand a terrible thirst. So to hellwith your warm hands sliding inside my shirtand your tongue down my throatlike an oxygen tube. Cover mein black plastic. Let the mourners through.From 'What Is This Thing Called Love' by Kim Addonizio (2005, W.W. Norton & Co.) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As summer slips away, what better interviews to revisit than two that feature writing about sex in all its myriad forms—desire, confession, and as thinking pieces that speak to who we are, what we crave, and also how we're controlled and boxed in and limited. Two of our favorites from this past year, Deesha Philyaw and Kim Addonizio, give writers a lot to think about on the subject of sex writing, and so much more.

Today is the birthday of poet Kim Addonizio, born in 1954. We feature her poem “High Desert, New Mexico.”

What's the secret to sibling success? Apparently, an ugly divorce. At least, that's how it went down for Ellen Umansky and her two brothers. Ellen's parents separated when she was 9. “They loved us deeply, but there were battles to be won — emotional, reputational, financial,” Ellen wrote in her Modern Love essay. As Ellen and her brothers were flung into a new reality of parental feuds and convoluted calendar arrangements, her brothers became her “one constant and comfort.” Today's episode is about “Team Umansky,” as Ellen's husband calls them, a unit that has stuck together from adolescence through adulthood.  You can find more info on today's episode here. Featured stories: "The Secret to Sibling Success," by Ellen Umansky"Trusting the Edge" by Kim Addonizio

Quando un anno fa abbiamo annunciato la nascita di Pop Corn, la domanda che abbiamo ricevuto più spesso è stata: “Una puntata su Britney Spears la farete, vero?”. Britney è sinonimo di pop, è e sarà per sempre la principessa del pop. Noi, però, abbiamo preferito aspettare fino a oggi, per trovare il modo più corretto per raccontare la sua storia, per trasmettere tutta la leggerezza e la luminosità della sua persona e allo stesso tempo catturare la delicatezza di un'icona dal destino così fragile, complesso e poco rassicurante. Questo è anche il motivo per cui, per accompagnare il racconto di Britney, abbiamo scelto una forma letteraria mai percorsa fino ad ora qui a Pop Corn: la poesia. A cadenzare la sua storia, infatti, ci sono le poesie di Kim Addonizio (contenute in Nuova Poesia Americana vol. 2) e le donne raccontate nei suoi versi. Donne che, come Britney, sembrano voler dare alla società ciò che questa si aspetta da loro, ma che desiderano e provano molto, molto di più. La puntata è prodotta dalla Good Luck Factory di Thomas Guiducci e fa parte del progetto www.lamcmusa.com.

Lias Saoudi of Fat White Family discusses the ‘Johnson method' alongside the theme of Futility! Fear! Faith! with author of the cult worldtrip-inside-your-soul book, Threshold, Rob Doyle, and Jenni Fagan, who's recent novel, Luckenbooth frames gothic Victoriana into Edinburgh tenements over 9 decades by way of beatnik residents of mulitudinous force. Also, hear work from Jeremy Reed, Connor Seed and Vida Adamcewski's letter to her brother, Saul from Fat White Family. Hosted by Kirsty Allison, with thanks to Clare Lynch for producing. This is the first show on Soho Radio NYC & Culture from the venerable Ambit arts and literary quarterly, which was established in 1959 by Dr Martin Bax in London. Editors have included JG Ballard and Eduardo Paolozzi.

In this episode, I read "Fine" by Kim Addonizio. It's a short poem and complements the poem Peers that I read in Episode 1 really well. Peers was about looking back at time, this one is set in the present and an incisive look at the present at that. It may feel morbid but listen to the alternative interpretations I present. Listen in! The poem I read can be accessed here - https://poetry.lib.uidaho.edu/category/kim-addonizio/ The host, Ravneet Bawa as -   @two_thirds_beneath on Instagram   @maikeya on Twitter   Email: ravneet_bawa@icloud.com Disclaimer: This podcast is created for sharing with friends and family, and only as a passion project amidst the Covid lockdown with no commercial interest. In all episodes I read from sources on the public internet or copies of books I possess. The commentary is all my own.

How do you find your voice? What about the voice of a poem or piece? In this interview Kim talks about her influences, and how they have helped her find her own voice. She also talks about getting past her own voice to find the voice of the poem itself, and how she helps support her students in doing the same. You'll also get bonus anecdotes about rhyming in the high desert, writing about a scorpion in an Italian Castle, having her poem printed in the New York City subway, and the really surprising journey she had to go on to get her book, Poet's Companion, published. (If you've never read this book, you can get it through Norton today : )

Oakland author Kim Addonizio reads from her new book of poems, "Now We’re Getting Somewhere." It's about being a woman, being lonely, confused, joyous, mortal, and thirsty.Click the play button above to listen to this reading.

Kim Addonizio’s sharp and irreverent eighth volume, Now We’re Getting Somewhere, is an essential companion to your practice of the Finnish art of kalsarikännit—drinking at home, alone in your underwear, with no intention of going out. Imbued with the poet’s characteristic precision and passion, the collection charts a hazardous course through heartache, climate change, dental work, Outlander, semiotics, and more. Combatting existential gloom with a wicked, seductive energy, Addonizio investigates desire, loss, and the madness of contemporary life. She calls out to Walt Whitman and John Keats, echoes Dorothy Parker, and finds sisterhood with Virginia Woolf. Addanizio is in conversation with daughter/actor/writer Aya Cash, who also provides a reading of her essay "Skin." _______________________________________________   Produced by Maddie Gobbo, Lance Morgan, & Michael Kowaleski Theme: "I Love All My Friends," an unreleased demo by Fragile Gang.

Confessional writing—what is it? Something that needs to be defended? Just another way to disparage writers whose subject is self? This week’s episode with poet Kim Addonizio takes a look at what confessional writing might be, why the very characterization is problematic, and why Kim considers herself to be a poet of ideas.

Sorry for the hiccups.

Joined by guest poet Steff (@nameandnoun), we go back in time to explore intimacy, womanhood, family, and more in the year 2000. As seen prominently in Darren Aronofsky's film Requiem for a Dream, despair, addiction, and desperation tears through multiple lives. Meanwhile, Kim Addonizio explores these issues in her own way in her poetry collection Tell Me. Bringing these two visions together, we see a moment of deep social anxiety at the turn of the century.

Nicole and Heidi talk about her broken foot, Whoopi Goldberg, stand-up, Virgo-ness and the delight of falling in love with some new poems.   POEMS "First Poem for You" and "I Want a Red Dress" by Kim Addonizio and "The Way I feel" by Nikki Giovanni

It's the birthday of poet and novelist Kim Addonizio (1954), who said, "Poetry is not a means to an end, but a continuing engagement with being alive."

PRAYER Every day I want to speak with you. And every day something more important calls for my attention – the downloads, the books-to-read, the collapsible dog bowls I need to buy on Amazon. Even now I can hardly sit here among the falling piles of paper and clothing, the garbage trucks outside screeching and banging. The mystics say you are as close as my own breath. Why do I flee from you? My days and nights pour through me like complaints and become a story I forgot to tell. Help me. Even as I write these words I am planning to rise from the chair as soon as I finish this sentence. -Marie Howe In this episode, I explore through the above koan the challenges of living with our fidgety and distractible minds. Why are our minds like this, and is there anything we can do to bring ourselves more into flow? Joining me on this journey: Melville's Bartleby and his I-would-prefer-not-to mantra; Nir Eyal and his book Indistractible; a couple of philosophers (Bentham and Epicurus), as well as a few more poets (Kim Addonizio, Carlos Drummond Andrade, Sarah Lindsay, and Robert Burns writing a poem to a homeless mouse). The physicist Jim Al-Khalili muses on universal entropy; psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (me-high cheek-sent-me-high) and William James muse on psychic entropy, and Jenny Odell does "nothing".

Susan Browne is a poet and musician based in Oakland California. She has had a string of poems published in respected journals and collections and has studied and collaborated with some of the best contemporary poets in the States, including previous ‘Inky Voices’ interviewee Kim Addonizio.  Susan has taught Creative Writing at Diablo Valley College for a number of years and has tutored rising poets online and through a number of workshops and seminars. Her first collection (‘Buddha’s Dogs’) was published in 2004, followed by ‘Zephyr’ in 2010. Her most recent collection - ‘Just Living’ (2019) won the Catamaran Poetry Prize last year and has been described by Zack Rogow as a collection of works ‘that fuse outrageous humour with a stiletto-sharp pathos’. 

Kim Addonizio is one of the most respected contemporary poets in the United States today. With 6 collections of poetry and a plethora of other fiction and non-fiction texts published to date, Kim has that rare ability to be able to evolve and experiment while, at the same time, remaining congruent to her own voice and underlying themes. Kim doesn’t identify as a poet of the ‘stage’ or the ‘page’, expressing a view that is increasingly my own; she thinks of herself as simply a ‘poet’ whose curiosity guides her along with her passion for wordplay.

Art is intimate, and don't mistake it, art is a choice. And it's a hard choice to make, because intimacy is hard. It's elusive, unknown, it bites. In today's episode, we foray into this tenuous and fearsome space, featuring six poets from around the Midwest and beyond, exploring intimacy in its various forms and stages. We'll hear poems about intimacy, new and old, close in proximity and close in heart, about the color it paints on an ordinary life, and the void it leaves when it vanishes. Poems that are vulnerable and honest, some that wonder and some that ache.

On this week's show, I talk poetry with Brittany Perham! NOTES Check out my interview with Brittany Perham's chapbook collaborator, Kim Addonizio. RIP, Jerry Pournelle and J. P. Donleavy.

In this week's episode, I talk to the poet Joy Harjo, the poet and fiction and creative nonfiction writer Kim Addonizio, and the memoirist Paul Lisicky.   NOTES On Sunday, February 5th, The Drunken Odyssey will be hosting its annual erotic poetry night at Vinyl Arts Bar in Orlando, Florida. 7 PM.

Lit Cast presents this live recording featuring author Kim Addonizio and poet Jen Siraganian at Litquake's Epicenter series. This onstage conversation discusses Addonizio's two newest releases, the poetry collection MORTAL TRASH, and the memoir BUKOWSKI IN A SUN DRESS. Learn why the San Francisco Chronicle says "Addonizio tackles tough subjects -- unequipped mothers, the loss of love, mental illness -- with unflinching clarity, lyricism, and humor." Unexpected fun fact for this episode: both Kim and Jen attended the same high school in Maryland. Co-presented by Green Apple Books, and recorded live at Alamo Drafthouse in San Francisco. https://www.facebook.com/litquake  https://twitter.com/Litquake

I didn't realize until well into my conversation with Kim Addonizio that she'd written (but never published) a full-length memoir, a straightforward narrative about the breakup of a longterm relationship, before Bukowski in a Sundress, the collection of autobiographical essays that we'd met to discuss. That got us to talking about rejection and failure, which dovetailed nicely into some of the larger themes we'd been pursuing about finding the right voice for each of these essays—some of which deal with personal relationships, some of which tackle the writing process, some of which play directly with her reputation as a "confessional" poet—and about claiming her space as a woman dealing with all the things women have to deal with in literary culture.

Kim Addonizio, author of the new memoir-in essays Bukowski in a Sundress and a new book of poetry, Mortal Trash, talks with host Richard Wolinsky. Kim Addonizio is the author of six poetry collections, two novels, two story collections, and two books on writing poetry, The Poet's Companion (with Dorianne Laux) and Ordinary Genius. She was a National Book Award Finalist for her collection Tell Me. She recently collaborated on a chapbook, The Night Could Go in Either Direction (Slapering Hol Press) with poet Brittany Perham. Addonizio also has two word/music CDs: Swearing, Smoking, Drinking, & Kissing (with Susan Browne) and My Black Angel, a companion to My Black Angel: Blues Poems & Portraits, featuring woodcuts by Charles D. Jones. She teaches and performs internationally. Bukowski in a Sundress deals with her life as a writer, including the problems of writers' block and raising a daughter (Aya Cash, currently star of the TV series You're The Worst) while maintaining her career as an artist. A shorter version of this interview aired on the Bookwaves radio program. Kim Addonizio website. The post Kim Addonizio appeared first on KPFA.

First Draft interview with Kim Addonizio

In this episode, Michelle discusses some changes to the blog and shares one of her favorite poems: "What Do Women Want?" by Kim Addonizio.

Imagine a town of harmonica players; sounds a bit surreal? Now 'Between the Ears' gives listeners a chance to hear the harmonica as a truly virtuoso instrument, always an instrument of the people - portable, affordable and playable. Acclaimed poet Kim Addonizio turns harmonica student, heading to blues school with pen, mouth, and a stack of harps at the ready, in search of the sweetest sounds. Trossingen in Germany may be the world capital of harmonicas. Every street echoes to the sound of the harp, and even the downtown hotel is part of the old Hohner Factory. This is where you will find the true aficionados, the hard-core addicts, who come to have lessons with the top players. Kim learns riffs from the world's top 'harp' teachers, Dave Barrett, Steve Baker and Joe Filisko - who customizes harps for such as Neil Young, blues great Kim Wilson, and jazz phenomenon Howard Levy, and who she wants to persuade to accompany her on his magical harp. She also dreams of being the first woman to jam on stage at the Blues conference... so will her dreams become reality? Producer: Sara Jane Hall.

US poet Kim Addonizio talks to Maurice Riordan, Editor of The Poetry Review, about riffing on the canon and traditional forms, her view that "emotional experience is the essence of any art" and how "the best humour is also dark and traffics with something else" – how she uses poetry as a process of discovery. She also reads her new poem 'White Flower, Red Flower'.

We're pleased to present a craft lecture by Kim Addonizio, recorded at the 2005 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.
