We're turning tables with Patrick Rosal. Patrick Rosal is the award winning author of four books of poetry: Boneshepherds, My American Kundiman, Uprock Headspin Scramble and Dive, and Brooklyn Antediluvian. He is a Guggenheim fellow and lives in New Jersey. We'll be talking white space in poetry, our sister cultures, and scatological poetics. We'll also talk about my upcoming appearance on Jeopardy!, some pointers for reading poetry aloud, and about words that simply cannot be translated.

To read Hayden's poem, click here (https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46460/frederick-douglass). Thanks to W.W. Norton & Company for granting us permission to read this poem. Reginald Dwayne Betts's introduction to the Collected Poems of Robert Hayden (https://wwnorton.com/books/9780871406798/about-author) is very moving, as is the afterword by Arnold Rampersad. For a series of insightful observations about Hayden's sonnet, see Ross Gay, Aracelis Girmay, Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Patrick Rosal, and Ira Sadoff, "Poets Respond: A Discussion of "Frederick Douglass" by Robert Hayden." American Poetry Review, 38.3 (2009): 25-28. For a helpful close reading of the poem, see Fred M. Fetrow, "Robert Hayden's 'Frederick Douglass': Form and Meaning in a Modern Sonnet."

The Last Thing: New & Selected Programs by Patrick Rosal by Poets & Writers

In this week's Best of Vinyasa in Verse, I had a talk with one of my favorite people and oldest friends, Ross Gay, award-winner poet, professor at Indiana University, baller, gardener, and all-around big-hearted human. We were poetry babies together in college with Lee Upton, poet and professor extraordinaire, as our poetry mama (Ross mentions her here). We talk about the practice of poetry and presence, about being part of a collective (both physically as people and spiritually), and how to “unfix” a poem. We also explore how we hold each other's memories and minds, that what constitutes our minds are held, not just by us, but also by others (enter the story of Negative Nelly and Positive Polly - haha!). People, this conversation was so much fun! You GOTTA listen! (We might even do a Part 2!) Also, he mentions a few folks I'd like to identify: Pat is NJ-based poet, Patrick Rosal. Nora is a CA-based writer and editor, Nora Issacs. * Follow me on Instagram for Maverick Mondays, Free Verse Fridays, and some real talk about healing, poetry, AND play: @leslieannhobayan * Today's poems/ Books mentioned: “That tree we planted” by Hafiz The Wisdom of No Escape (book) by Pema Chodron “To the Young Who Wants to Die” by Gwendolyn Brooks

  Happy July! While Stan and the usual Back in America podcast are on a hiatus this summer, Podcast Editor Josh Wagner will be hosting a new series entitled Poetism, tracing the foundations of and influences behind American poetry and music. Each week, Josh will invite a guest on the air to talk about an unusual pairing of a poem and song––seeing how they overlap and converse with one another. In the process, we hope to expose listeners to new poets and songs and make a case for the enduring relevance of poetry in an age of digital and visual media. In our inaugural episode, Josh is joined by Fang Liu, a linguistics major from Stanford, to talk about memory and imagination in Patrick Rosal's 2015 ekphrastic poem “Children Walk on Chairs to Cross a Flooded Schoolyard” and The Doors' “Wild Child” off of the 1969 record The Soft Parade. Stay tuned for next week's episode on sensations of loneliness through the Airborne Toxic Event's early 2000s bop “Numb” and poet Lisa Robertson's R's Boat (2010).

This episode features Professor John Murillo and Luna Dragon Mac-Williams '22. In the first half of this episode, we hear Professor John Murillo read “Imagine the Angels of Bread” by Martin Espada. Professor Murillo is an Assistant Professor of English, Assistant Professor of African American Studies, and Director of Creative Writing at Wesleyan. He is the author of the poetry collections, Up Jump the Boogie and Kontemporary Amerikan Poetry. His honors include a Pushcart Prize, the J Howard and Barbara MJ Wood Prize from the Poetry Foundation, and most recently, the $100,000 Kingsley-Tufts award for Contemporary Poetry. In the second half, Luna Mac-Williams reads “Guitar” by Patrick Rosal. Luna is a poet, playwright, actor, dancer, jeweler, and arts educator who roots her work in radical compassion and joy. She teaches theater, writing, and their intersection with activism through After School Matters in her hometown of Chicago. She is a current junior at Wesleyan majoring in Theater with a minor in Education Studies and the Writing Certificate. Thanks to Professor Murillo and Luna Mac-Williams for their appearances on this episode! The Words of Wesleyan is produced by the Shapiro Center for Writing at Wesleyan University.

Mary & Wyatt snuggle up, bust open the books, and talk about money & finances. They talk about historical racial inequality and its affect on the disproportionate accumulation of wealth in white communities. They then shift to talking about their own personal histories with finances. They also talk about spending & credit card debt, the looming specter of student loans, and how to manage money in a relationship. Also on the agenda: a new, ridiculous, headache-inducing segment called Read My Lips; we lose control of our dogs; and poems by Patrick Rosal and Tracy K. Smith. 

On this episode, a reading and interview with poet, essayist, educator and avid gardener Ross Gay.  Ross Gay is the author of three books of poetry: Against Which; Bringing the Shovel Down; and Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude, which was awarded the 2015 National Book Critics Circle Award and the 2016 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award. The Book of Delights, released earlier this year, is his first collection of essays. Ross has co-authored, two chapbooks "Lace and Pyrite: Letters from Two Gardens," and "River."  He is a founding editor, with Karissa Chen and Patrick Rosal, of the online sports magazine Some Call it Ballin', in addition to being an editor with the chapbook presses Q Avenue and Ledge Mule Press.  Ross is a founding board member of the Bloomington Community Orchard, a non-profit, free-fruit-for-all food justice and joy project.

In 2016, we hosted the New York launch of Scholar Christine Bacareza Balance’s book Tropical Renditions: Making Musical Scenes in Filipino America, a vital exploration of post-WWII Filipinx literary and musical culture. In this episode of AAWW Radio, we’ll hear Christine read from her book as she asks, “How do Filipinos make music? And what else do these acts of music making do?” Opening for Christine is former AAWW Literary Award winner and Guggenheim Fellowship-winning poet Patrick Rosal, whose poetry and essays channel DJ culture, family history, and community to explore vital questions about race in America. Afterwards, they have a conversation moderated by novelist Jessica Hagedorn, author of Toxicology and former bandleader of The Gangster Choir. Together they discuss Pinoy DJs and turntabling (Shout out to DJ Qbert), the act of disobedient listening, and how immigrant parents remix their lives in order to survive.

Poets Patrick Rosal, Bao Phi, and Sokunthary Svay confront nationalist mythology with lyrical odes to the America we struggle against, and the one being built through struggle. Patrick Rosal—who the Academy of American Poets honored for writing the best book of poetry of the year—uncovers forgotten multi-racial histories through his family’s journey from the Phillipines to Brooklyn. Bao Phi and Sokunthary Svay trace their arrival into Minneapolis and the Bronx as refugees. They speak into existence defiant new American imaginaries, inspired by hip hop and the invisible Asian American urban poor. This event is briefly introduced by musician Taiyo Na. Watch the video for Refugee Requiem here.  Music by Robert Rusli & Lu Yang.  http://aaww.org  

Hosted by Al Filreis and featuring Ross Gay, Josephine Park, and Herman Beavers.

Ben & Daniel talk with poet Patrick Rosal, author of “Boneshepherds” and “My American Kundiman.” Rosal talks about how “Boneshepherds” is a mix of anger, rage, love, and tenderness.
