603. We chat with Lenore Weiss about her novel, Pulp into Paper, which “is about the struggle of Arkansas and Louisiana mill workers to tell the truth about what is happening in their work and personal lives. The book mirrors the choices we make between earning a living and our ethical values, but is sympathetic to all characters on either side of the environmental divide.” Pulp into Paper is an engaging, disturbing and sometimes humorous novel exposing a calcified network of corruption between a company (Rand-Atlantic) and the government (EPA) in a small Southern town where "the stink [is] the smell of money." Weiss's talent for detail is extraordinary as she takes us into the homes, sandwich shops and hydrogen-sulfide infested creeks of East Hentsbury with its unforgettable cast of characters." (Campbell). Lenore Weiss is enrolled in the Master of Fine Arts Program at San Francisco State University. Her poetry has been published in many journals  Her books include Cutting Down the Last Tree on Easter Island (West End Press, 2012) , Two Places (Kelsay Books, 2014), and Mortal forthcoming in 2016 from Black Cat Moon Press.

When you look at people who are younger than you — particularly teenagers — does your mind ever take you back to yourself at their age? Taylor Johnson's poem “Pennsylvania Ave. SE” performs this feat of time travel, going from a glimpse of two boys on bicycles to a haunting sense memory of what was once so yearned for: to be seen, to be wanted, to be free.Taylor Johnson is proud of being from Washington, D.C. He has received fellowships and scholarships from CALLALOO, Cave Canem, Lambda Literary, VONA, Tin House, Vermont Studio Center, Yaddo, Conversation Literary Festival, Bread Loaf Writers' Conference, and Bread Loaf Environmental Writers' Conference, among others. In 2017, Johnson received the Larry Neal Writers' Award from the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities. His poems appear in The Baffler, Indiana Review, Scalawag, and The Paris Review, among other journals and literary magazines.

Craig Santos Perez is a poet, essayist, university professor, and American publisher born in Mongmong-Toto-Maite, Guam (Guåhan) Island, formally considered a U.S. territory. His literary distinctions are many. In 2023 he won the National Book Award for poetry,  2015 American Book Award and the 2011 PEN Center USA Literary Award for Poetry. He immigrated to California when he was fifteen, thus sparking his life-long exploration into what it means to be of a tropical and culturally rich place, and then separated from his CHomorro  homeland. His poetry and scholarship settles into the question of identity, navigating place and also challenges many of the contemporary notions of geography and American poetry traditions. Find out more about FROM UNINCORPORATED TERRITORY [ÅMOT] here, and watch his acceptance speech and his reading of the extraordinary poem "ginen ars pasifika" here.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the poet George Herbert (1593-1633) who, according to the French philosopher Simone Weil, wrote ‘the most beautiful poem in the world'. Herbert gave his poems on his relationship with God to a friend, to be published after his death if they offered comfort to any 'dejected pour soul' but otherwise be burned. They became so popular across the range of Christians in the 17th Century that they were printed several times, somehow uniting those who disliked each other but found a common admiration for Herbert; Charles I read them before his execution, as did his enemies. Herbert also wrote poems prolifically and brilliantly in Latin and these he shared during his lifetime both when he worked as orator at Cambridge University and as a parish priest in Bemerton near Salisbury. He went on to influence poets from Coleridge to Heaney and, in parish churches today, congregations regularly sing his poems set to music as hymns.

In today's short episode of “Highly Recommended”, I'm here to tell you it's time to try a poetry video project! Harness students' excitement over the creator economy and the survival of TikTok and get them interpreting poetry through a medium that only keeps getting MORE relevant to communication today.  First things first, let's talk mentor texts. There are some VERY cool poetry videos online that take their interpretation in wildly different directions. I suggest taking a look at Amanda Gorman's “Earthrise,” Ada Limón's “A Poem for Europa,” and Rudy Francisco's “Complainers,” which I'll link for you in the show notes. As students watch, have them sketchnote ideas for CRAFT moves. What do they notice about the combination of talking head shots vs. B-Roll? Is their background music? How did the producer make cuts and transitions? How does the video bring out the meaning of the poem? How about the audio? Once students have started to warm up to this idea of interpreting poems through video, it's time for them to choose a poem of their own to interpret. Now you could easily make this a project to help them dig deep into a famous poem of their choice, OR you could let them record and create around an original piece of their own, depending on your goals. They should print up a script of their poem which they can annotate with ideas for visuals and how they will want to read the poem aloud. Parallel to their written script, they'll want to do some storyboarding, sketching out the order of their film clip videos. Now there are two free platforms I'd recommend for this project. Vocaroo, which we've discussed many times, is perfect for recording the audio easily and snagging the MP3 file. Then they can upload it to Canva, which will allow them to combine photos, videos, and audio of their own with photos, videos, and audio available on Canva. This is the most technical part of the project, so I've made you a little tutorial video for how to put together a video in Canva (which I'll link in the show notes). While there will be a learning curve on learning to put together a video, it's a learning curve well worth trekking. This would be a great starter project leading toward video options on future choice boards, documentary projects, PSA projects, and other types of video projects in your class or department arc.  Inside Canva, your students will be able to sequence text slides, video clips, and photos to create a visual sequence that represents their interpretation of the poem, and overlay it with their audio recording of their script. They can even add music at a low level behind their voice in different sections if they wish.  If you've been waiting for the right moment to get your feet wet with video, let this be your sign that YOU CAN DO IT! It's OK to launch a project without total confidence in the tech. Your students may just know a lot about this and be able to help each other and you, and there are not many tech problems out there that a quick tutorial search on YouTube won't fix. I've seen some wonderful student work from the poetry video project, and so can you!  Links Mentioned: "Earthrise," by Amanda Gorman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwOvBv8RLmo "Complainers," by Rudy Francisco: https://youtu.be/nrh1JlP8R2E?si=8BvEmi0mIr8NCAEJ  "A Poem for Europa," by Ada Limón: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgWbeDNPD6o How to Create a Video in Canva: https://sparkcreativity.kartra.com/videopage/createavideo  Go Further:  Explore alllll the Episodes of The Spark Creativity Teacher Podcast.

Mexican Gothic Author Comes to Jacksonville Silvia Moreno-Garcia, the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic, is coming to Jacksonville for Hispanic Heritage Month. Her latest novel is a historical drama set in Hollywood, following three different point of view characters all tied to the production of a movie inspired by the Biblical story of Salome. FEATURED BOOK: The Seventh Veil of Salome 1950s Hollywood: Every actress wants to play Salome, the star-making role in a big-budget movie about the legendary woman whose story has inspired artists since ancient times. So when the film's mercurial director casts Vera Larios, an unknown Mexican ingenue, in the lead role, she quickly becomes the talk of the town. Vera also becomes an object of envy for Nancy Hartley, a bit player whose career has stalled and who will do anything to win the fame she believes she richly deserves. Two actresses, both determined to make it to the top in Golden Age Hollywood—a city overflowing with gossip, scandal, and intrigue—make for a sizzling combination. Silvia Moreno-Garcia is the author of a number of critically acclaimed novels, including Gods of Jade and Shadow (Sunburst Award for Excellence in Canadian Literature of the Fantastic, Ignyte Award), Mexican Gothic (Locus Award, British Fantasy Award, Pacific Northwest Book Award, Aurora Award, Goodreads Award), Velvet Was the Night (finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the Macavity Award), and her newest book, The Seventh Veil of Salome, which was a Good Morning America Book Club pick for August 2024. Mexican by birth, Canadian by inclination. Cachanilla and Canuck, originally from Baja California, Silvia now resides in Vancouver. She has an MA in Science and Technology Studies from the University of British Columbia. Interviewer Michelle Lizet Flores is a graduate of the FSU and NYU creative writing programs. She currently works as a Creative Writing Instructor at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts and co-hosts the What's in a Verse Poetry Open Mic at Rain Dogs. Publications include The NCTE English Journal, Salt Hill Journal, and The Talon Review. A finalist for the Juan Felipe Herrera Award for Poetry, she wrote the chapbooks Cuentos from the Swamp and Memoria, and the picture book, Carlito the Bat Learns to Trick or Treat.

In this special episode of the Hinesights Podcast, I had the incredible privilege of sitting down with IN-Q, an Emmy-nominated poet and multi-platinum songwriter whose words have touched hearts around the world. This conversation was deeply moving as we explored how poetry and spoken word can be powerful tools for healing, vulnerability, and emotional well-being. IN-Q shared his journey from rap to spoken word, his reflections on the role of community, and how moments of silence can spark creativity and transformation. We talked about the courage it takes to embrace vulnerability, the shared human experience of struggle, and how love and connection can help us heal. This episode isn't just about poetry—it's about life, resilience, and discovering the answers we already carry within us. If you're seeking inspiration, connection, or just a reminder of the power of art to bring people together, this is one conversation you won't want to miss. Join us as we discuss: - The transformative power of words and storytelling - Vulnerability as a tool for connection and growth - How creativity fosters healing and emotional expression - The ongoing journey of self-discovery and resilience I hope this conversation touches your heart as much as it did mine. #BeHereTomorrow

Chris explains his concept of "H2M" (human-human-machine), where AI poetry emerges as a blend of human creativity, machine processing, and user input. He reflects on the surprising ability of AI to make creative connections humans might miss, giving rise to verses with unique juxtapositions and patterns. However, he emphasizes that the core of this creativity is still deeply rooted in human input. Can AI really outshine human poets, or is it just an amplified reflection of human artistry? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thinkfuture/support

Bruce Frankel's unique journey includes a career as a journalist for People, USA Today, and Time, followed by earning an MFA in Poetry in his 50s. Now an advocate for aging well, he serves as the President of the Life Planning Network, co-founder of Redstring and Business Authority, and author of What Should I Do with the Rest of My Life?. He shares valuable insights on older entrepreneurship, positive aging, and finding fulfillment in later life. About Bruce Bruce Frankel is Vice-President of Redstring, a community-building technology and business, and Co-Founder of Business Authority, a business accelerator and eCampus supporting entrepreneurs 50 and over. He is also President of the Life Planning Network, a national nonprofit association educating professionals shaping the culture of aging and helping people navigate the second half of life. He is the author of What Should I Do with the Rest of My Life? True Stories of Finding Success, Passion, and New Meaning in the Second Half of Life. Bruce has spoken at the United Nations on behalf of older adults and is a 2021 Fellow of Columbia University's Age Boom Academy. He is an editor of LIVE SMART AFTER 50! A former writer and editor at People magazine and New York based national reporter for USA Today, he is also a co-author of World War II: History's Greatest Conflict. Bruce has an MFA in Poetry from Sarah Lawrence College. He lives in Sharon, MA. Key Takeaways Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to adapt and change throughout an individual's life. By learning to adapt and make intentional choices, older adults can experience greater purpose, joy, personal growth, and improved cognitive function. Challenging your brain with new things is one of the most important components of brain health. Life planning is about being intentional. It's about looking at yourself, your values, strengths, motivations, unrealized dreams, and asking, "What do I want to do with this one precious life, or what's left of it?" "What kind of legacy do I want to leave?" Planning isn't boxing yourself in, it's about opening to possibilities and protecting yourself. You will inevitably make worse choices in a crisis. We internalize ageism and it colors the stories we tell ourselves about aging, about ourselves and others. The best defense against the “army of D's” (disease dependence, decline, dementia, death) is awareness of internalized ageist narratives.

Chen Chen talks about genre, creative writing pedagogy, race, and politics as he reflects on his two full-length poetry collections, When I Grow Up I Want To Be A List of Further Possibilities (BOA Editions) and Your Emergency Contact Has Experienced An Emergency (BOA Editions). On the topic of contextual and cultural references, we discussed our displeasure of the general tendency to reference Wong Kar-wai purely for aesthetic reasons without critiquing the politics of nostalgia.

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Sophie French. Sophie supports women to unlock and unleash their unique expression and gifts into the world, to tap into their heart's desires and to go for them with deep self-trust and self-belief. She utilities a combination of neuro-linguistic programming, emotional release and embodiment practices along with energy and strategy work to provide a holistic approach to the woman who is ready to be all she's ever wanted. In this vibrant episode Nicole and Sophie dive into all things ‘unapologetic feminine soul expression', exploring how self-illuminating where we have suppressed ourselves (rather than submitting to pathologising things like ‘depression') helps us heal and discover our true selves and embrace our creative soul expression - and how that can be a healing remedy for others, in ways we don't always expect. Performing her poetry for us and exploring how she rebirthed herself through it, Sophie explores how her self-expression and story-telling became a form of alchemy of darkness to light, and how she tended her nervous system to be able to express her true self in a world where that's scary. What You'll Learn from this Episode: It is vital to our mental and physical health to live out our full, unapologetic expression - numbing and suppressing our true selves literally has us become burned out, depressed and anxious We can begin to heal through unsuppressing ourselves, via self-discovery - which includes facing our darkness, feeling everything fully and challenging the societal tendency to numb and avoid discomfort Expressing our emotions can be an alchemical process which unlocks deeper creativity and joy - Sophie's poetry is a great example of this deep expression of her soul, and came through her in this alchemical way - as I always say, our gifts are found in our wounds That said, we can consciously choose the edge we meet, giving ourselves permission to go at our own pace and choose when we go in - this is an intentional healing process of soul-expression It's important to regulate our nervous systems - much more important than it is made out to be in our society so we can express safely.

In Kinsale Drake's poem “Put on that KTNN,” she writes about driving to a hometown as a familiar station crackles to life on the car radio. From this corner of America, she creates her own country music — of Navajo voices alongside Johnny Cash and Loretta Lynn, of drumbeats and guitar licks, of things wrought by nature and things made by humans, all of them rooted in the desert sand.Kinsale Drake (Diné) is a poet, playwright, and performer based out of the Southwest U.S. She is a winner of the 2023 National Poetry Series Competition. Her poetry collection, The Sky Was Once a Dark Blanket, was published by The University of Georgia Press in 2024.

She recently graduated from Yale University, where she received the J. Edgar Meeker Prize, Academy of American Poets College Prize, Young Native Playwrights Award, and the 2022 Joy Harjo Poetry Prize.

From the beginning of his career as a poet, W.H. Auden wrestled with the meaning of Englishness. He came out with a collection of poems entitled On This Island, but what exactly was this island? A world in ruins? A beautiful (if morally compromised) haven? In this episode, Jacke talks to Nicholas Jenkins (The Island: War and Belonging in Auden's England) about Auden's relationship with the land of his birth, including his preoccupations with the vicissitudes of war, the trials of love, and the problems of identity. PLUS Italian scholar Gabriele Pedullà (On Niccolò Machiavelli: The Bonds of Politics) stops by to discuss his choice for the last book he will ever read.

Subscribe, Rate, & Review on YouTube • Spotify • Apple Podcasts✨ About This Episode“The best academic lecture/slam poetry/sermon/magical invocation/attunement and invitation to engage I've experienced in a long while.”– Daniel LindenbargerNext week, after nearly nine years of development, this show grows up to become Humans On The Loop, a transdisciplinary exploration of agency in the age of automation. For long-time listeners of Future Fossils, not much will really change — philosophical investigations in the key of psychedelic futurism, voyages into the edges of what is and can be known, and boldly curious riffs on the immeasurable value of storytelling and imagination have always characterized this show. Many of the episodes I've shared in this last year especially were, effectively, preparations for this latest chapter and play as large a part in my ongoing journey to synthesize and translate everything I've learned from years of independent scholarship and institutional work in esteemed tech, science, and culture orgs…But we are no longer waiting for a weird future to arrive. We're living in it, and shaping it with every act and utterance. So in this “final” episode of Future Fossils before I we bring all of these investigations into the domain of practical applied inquiry, it felt right to ramp from FF to HOTL by sharing my talk and discussion for Stephen Reid's recent online course on Technological Metamodernism. This was a talk that left me feeling very full of hope for what's to come, in which I trace the constellations that connect some of my biggest inspirations, and outline the social transformations I see underway.This is a rapid and dynamic condensation of the big patterns I've noticed in the course of over 500 hours of recorded public dialogue and a lively primer on why I'm focusing on the attention and imagination as the two big forces that will continue to shape our lives in the worlds that come after modernity.It is also just the beginning.Thank you for being part of this adventure.✨ Support & Participate• Become a patron on Substack (my preference) or Patreon(15% off annual memberships until 12/21/24 with the code 15OFF12)• Make a tax-deductible donation to Humans On The Loop• Original paintings available as thank-you gifts for large donors• Hire me as an hourly consultant or advisor on retainer• Buy (most of) the books we discuss from Bookshop.org• Join the Future Fossils Facebook group• Join the Holistic Technology & Wise Innovation and Future Fossils Discord servers• Buy the show's music on Bandcamp — intro “Olympus Mons” from the Martian Arts EP and outro “Sonnet A” from the Double-Edged Sword EP• Read “An Oral History of The End of ‘Reality'”, my story mentioned in this episode.✨ ChaptersChapter 1: Reflections & Announcements (0:00:00)Chapter 2: Co-Evolution with AI and the Limits of Control (0:12:49)Chapter 3: Poetry as the Beginning and End of Scientific Knowledge (0:18:06)Chapter 4: The American Replacement of Nature and the Power of Narrative (0:24:05)Chapter 5: The End of “Reality” & The Beginning of Metamodern Nuance (28:58)Chapter 6: Q&A: Myths, Egregores, and Metamodern Technology vs. Wetiko & Moloch (0:34:52)Chapter 7: Q&A: Chaos Magic & Other Strategies for Navigating Complexity (45:59)Chapter 8: Q&A: Musings on Symbiogenesis & Selfhood (0:50:18)Chapter 9: Q&A: How Do We Legitimize These Approaches?

Sundial contributor Martena Koken, like most of us, has spent some time worrying about making the perfect holiday pie!

This program explores the decolonizing potential of Indian aesthetic-social philosophy by challenging two entrenched colonial prejudices: the supposed radical dissimilarity and inferiority of pre-modern Indian traditions compared to modern social theory. Through an analysis of the Upanishads and Vaisnava theology and poetry, Sudipta Kaviraj, professor of Indian Politics and Intellectual History at Columbia University, examines conceptions of paradise as a life without suffering, arguing that divergent ideas of paradise have shaped Indian aesthetic thought. Central to this philosophy is the interdependence of cognitive curiosity and aesthetic enjoyment, seen as essential for fully accessing and understanding the universe. Kaviraj suggests that these traditions offer valuable insights for modern secular thinkers reflecting on the human condition. Series: "UC Berkeley Graduate Lectures" [Humanities] [Show ID: 40222]
