“Being able to be here and to tell this story—to weep about it occasionally—that is uplifting because what the story says is: ‘I'm still here. I have survived it. I have joy in my life because I have known such depths of despair.' That is uplifting.” So says Natasha Tretheway, a Pulitzer Prize winner who has authored several books and served two terms as the Poet Laureate of the United States. Tretheway and Moore discuss their respective familial connections to the state of Mississippi, Hurricane Katrina, and the Gulf Coast. They talk about Tretheway's lifelong desire to write, her experience as a mixed-race person, and her thoughts on belonging, grief, and faith. Their conversation welcomes all who long for community, creativity, and clarity.

"Ordesa" de Manuel Vilas (Alfaguara) se reedita 5 años después con un capítulo inédito, con un nuevo final si es que la novela tenía un final. Y es esta reedición la que entra en las estanterías de la Biblioteca de Martínez Asensio en Hoy por Hoy. En el nuevo capítulo final, el post scriptum, se sitúa en el Hostal Don Juan de Cambrils, la localidad tarraconense en la que los padres de Manuel fueron más felices la última semana de julio y la primera de agosto de los veranos de los 70. El autor vuelva casi 50 años después al lugar que ya es como un Titanic de su memoria. Manuel Vilas nos ha confesado que escribió "Ordesa' justo para decir "que todos necesitamos que nos quieran, eso es Ordesa". También nos ha donado dos libros, "El castillo" de Kafka (DeBolsillo) y "Hojas de hierba" de Walt Whitman (Espasa). Además han entrado esta semana en nuestra biblioteca dos novelas del nuevo premio Cervantes, el leonés Luis Mateo Díez. Son "La fuente de la edad" (Alfaguara) y "El limbo de los cines" (Nórdica) . Dos novedades, "Maniac" de Nejamin Labatut (Anagrama) y "La ciudad de la piel de plata" de Félix G, Modroño (Destino) y por motivos de actualidad Antonio Martínez Asensio ha sacado de sus estanterías "M., el hijo del siglo" de Antonio Scurati (Alfaguara), para recordarnos que el fascismo no es una broma, y "Memorial drive (memorias de una hija)" de Natasha Tretheway (Errata Naturae)

Poet Natasha Tretheway joins Don Noble to talk about her historical and personal poetry.
Empezamos leyendo unos versos del Premio Cervantes José Hierro, el gran poeta del desarraigo, que nació en Madrid un día como hoy hace cien años y que nos dejó en herencia diez poemarios en los que laten el mar y el peso de la existencia. Luego charlamos con el guionista y crítico musical Fernando Navarro, que acaba de debutar en la literatura con Malaventura (Ed. Impedimenta), una colección de estampas violentas ambientadas en el desierto de Tabernas e inspiradas en el romancero y el western. En nuestro buzón de voz, una oyente nos habla de La historia de la nostalgia (Ed. Catedral), una novela de la periodista Natàlia Romaní sobre un triángulo amoroso. En su sección, Ignacio Elguero anuncia la convocatoria de la XIV edición del Premio de Poesía Joven RNE y nos recomienda la lectura de dos libros: Historia de los abuelos que no tuve (Ed. Anagrama), investigación en la que el historiador Ivan Jablonka sigue la pista de sus antepasados, desaparecidos en Auschwitz; y Déjate llevar por la calma (Ed. Plataforma), del profesor universitario e investigador del tiempo Karlheinz Geissler. Además, Javier Lostalé reflexiona sobre Memorial Drive. Recuerdos de una hija (Ed. Errata Naturae), las sobrecogedoras memorias de la poeta estadounidense Natasha Tretheway, consideradas uno de los mejores libros del 2020 en su país. Y para terminar, Mariano Peyrou nos trae Emparedada (Ed. Libros de la Resistencia), volumen de poesía documental sobre el confinamiento que reúne un texto de la poeta Pilar Martín Gila y otro del compositor Sergio Blardony. Escuchar audio

When Natasha Tretheway was 19, she found out her mother had been murdered by an ex-husband. The only thing that could make sense of the world, Tretheway said, was poetry. Decades later, Tretheway is one of America's most celebrated poets. In this week's episode, we look back on the extraordinary life of this former U.S. poet laureate, and that of another exceptional wordsmith: Maya Angelou. This episode is sponsored in part by the Pulitzer Centennial Campfires Initiative.
Natasha Trethewey was the 19th U.S. Poet Laureate. Her books include “Domestic Work,” “Native Guard,” and “Beyond Katrina: A Meditation on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.” Eboo Patel is the founder and president of Interfaith Youth Core. His books include “Sacred Ground: Pluralism, Prejudice, and the Promise of America” and “Interfaith Leadership: A Primer.” This interview is edited and produced with music and other features in the On Being episode “Natasha Trethewey and Eboo Patel — How to Live Beyond This Election.” Find more at onbeing.org.
This political season has surfaced our need to reimagine and re-weave the very meaning of common life and common good. We take a long, nourishing view of the challenge and promise of this moment with former U.S. Poet Laureate Natasha Trethewey and interfaith visionary Eboo Patel. This is the second of two public conversations convened by the John C. Danforth Center on Religion and Politics at Washington University in St. Louis on the eve of the 2016 presidential debate on that campus.
Natasha Trethewey, the 19th United States Poet Laureate (2012-13), is the author of Thrall, Native Guard, for which she won the 2007 Pulitzer Prize, Bellocq’s Ophelia, which was named a Notable Book for 2003 by the American Library Association, and Domestic Work. She is also the author of Beyond Katrina: A Mediation on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. In his citation, Librarian of Congress James Billington wrote, “Her poems dig beneath the surface of history—personal or communal, from childhood or from a century ago—to explore the human struggles that we all face.” In this keynote address, Trethewey reads from her recent book of poems, Thrall, and discusses how she uses the history of America to inform her work, as well as the stories of her past growing up a mixed-race child in the segregated South.
