Acclaimed debut novelist and award-winning poet Jeanette Horn spoke to me about writing experimental poetry, getting a fateful call from the Iowa Writer's Workshop, and the magical realism in her debut novel PLAY, WITH KNIVES. Jeanette Horn is an Iowa Writers' Workshop MFA program graduate and was a Maytag Fellow. Her debut novel, Play, With Knives, is described as the story of “A struggling theater troupe [that] tours the Midwest by surreal train—where aspects of their plays come to life and wreak havoc—in this inventive literary novel.” Elizabeth Gilbert, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Eat Pray Love, said of the book, "Play, With Knives is a work of wondrous imagination—a dream from which I did not want to awaken."  Jeanette also earned a BA in English from the University of Texas, where she won several Adele Steiner Burleson Awards for poetry and essay writing. Her work has appeared in MARGIE, Poetry International, Stand, Washington Square, and other journals.

In the last episode of season 4 of the True Fiction Project, I am honored to welcome the amazing Anand Thakore. I've known Anand since we were in school together, and it has been incredible to see his journey and learn of his success as an Anglophone Poet and Hindustani Classical Musician. During this episode we reminisce on some of our school experiences and share stories. Then we dive in to learn what Anand is up to now, while he shares his latest projects. We hear an excerpt of music and a poem from Deepankar Khiwani, titled Cathedral. Anand shares his experience working with Deepankar and how their work together inspired him to start writing poetry again. The episode goes on to include three original pieces by Anand Thakore titled Sea Link, My Place and Mughal Sequence. Tune in for this entertaining episode!  IN THIS EPISODE: [2:28] Anand shares about his journey with Sanskrit.  [4:03] What was Anand's journey with music and poetry?  [9:49] What is the style of contemporary Indian writing?  [10:50] Anand shares his story about the creation of the Mughal Sequence.  [13:50] What is the backstory behind some of his latest pieces? [16:30] How do poets utilize characters in their poetry?  [18:42] Anand talks about the work he's done with Deepankar Khivani.  [21:23] Anand shares the song and poem Cathedral by Deepankar Khivani.  [22:51] We hear the poem Sea Link, by Anand Thakore.  [25:09] We hear the poem My Place, by Anand Thakore [26:24] Why was Anand feeling like a sock puppet?  [29:01] Anand shares more about the poem Mughal Sequence and then we hear an excerpt from it. KEY TAKEAWAYS: [12:51] Anand wants the American audience to understand that they are a trans culture, multicultural, multilingual people. Their themes are Indian, their language is English, their music can be Indian, they can also experience Western music in great depth. [14:49] Anand feels that poetry really has to embrace the moment and be very short and brief and make its statement in a short space.  [16:32] Sometimes poets reveal themselves when they are pretending to be someone else.    Fiction Credits:  Poems below written and narrated by: Anand ThakoreSea Link My PlaceMughal SequenceCathedral Poem: Written by Deepankar Khiwani and narrated by Anand Thakore The Cathedral & John Connon School Anand's song at end of episode: Pt.

Tony Diaz, El Librotraficante & Literary Curator for the Latino Bookstore at the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center in San Antonio Texas, welcomes award winning author John Olivares Espinoza to the show to discuss his book THE DATE FRUIT ELEGIES (Bilingual Review Press, 2008) ahead of his Texas Author Series appearance on October 13th 2023 at the Guadalupe. John shares with us his work, reads some of his poems (including unreleased portions of his upcoming book), the inspiration behind his work, as well as his current as editor / poetry coach to several well known literary figures, including Chicana icon Sandra Cisneros. John Olivares Espinoza is a recipient of a 2023 City of San Antonio Project Grants for Individual Artists. Born and raised in Indio, California, and the son of immigrants from Mexico, he received degrees in creative writing from the University of California, Riverside and Arizona State University. He is the author of the poetry collection, The Date Fruit Elegies (Bilingual Review Press, 2008), as well as two chapbooks, Aluminum Times (Swan Scythe Press, 2002) and Gardeners of Eden (Chicano Chapbook Series, 2000). His poetry has appeared in journals and anthologies domestically and internationally such as Alta Journal, American Poetry Review, Berkeley Poetry Review, New Letters, Poetry International, Quarterly West, Rattle, ZYZZYVA and In Xóchitl in Cuícatl: Floricanto: Cien años de poesía chicanx/latinx (1920-2020) (Editorial Polibea: Madrid, 2021). His honors include a writing grant from The Elizabeth George Foundation, a Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans, and a residency at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. Espinoza has been a member of the Macondo Writers Workshop since 2004 and lives in San Antonio with his family. John attempts to create a family mythology around their experiences and identities as immigrants, laborers, and New Americans. Meanwhile, other speakers in his poems grapple with their identities as first generation Americans. Poet Christopher Buckley introduces Espinoza's poetry by saying, “…[I]t was the lives of his family, of the people who did not stay at resorts [and the homes of the rich], that became [John's] theme, and his poems risked clarity at every turn to do them justice. John's poems are witness to this life, and with poignancy and inventiveness they reveal the essential dignity and compassion of the people he knows.” Tony Diaz Writer and activist Tony Diaz, El Librotraficante, is a Cultural Accelerator. He was the first Chicano to earn a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Houston Creative Writing Program. In 1998, he founded Nuestra Palabra: Latino Writers Having Their Say (NP), Houston's first reading series for Latino authors. The group galvanized Houston's Community Cultural Capital to become a movement for civil rights, education, and representation. When Arizona officials banned Mexican American Studies, Diaz and four veteran members of NP organized the 2012 Librotraficante Caravan to smuggle books from the banned curriculum back into Arizona. He is the author of The Aztec Love God. His book, The Tip of the Pyramid: Cultivating Community Cultural Capital, is the first in his series on Community Organizing.

CLEM BOWEN + DAWAD PHILIP Clem Bowen grew up in Princess Town, Trinidad, and became an avid sportsman. For over a decade he worked in the aviation industry in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, where he began his journey in the entertainment industry as a DJ. Soon he was driving tours for artists such as Sister Carol and Sugar Minot, and progressed to becoming a road manager of Soca artists throughout the Caribbean, Europe and Africa. He formed his Cariwak Management Agency, which books  Calypso & Soca artists worldwide, acquires work permits, travel etc, which also includes Event planning & Productions and more. He is also President of the yearly July, “Sunday Brunch on the Green', in Brooklyn. His mas band, Burokeete, impacted the art of Carnival and is in the history books, with a song “Burrokeet Woman” by Calypsonian,  “Mighty Swallow” created for Burrokeet; won ‘Band of the Year' twice, with approximately 3000 masqueraders and was the first Trini style mas camp at the Shell, which was renamed Burrokeet mas camp. Clem franchised Burrokeet to Atlanta, Boston, Miami and London. The Burrokeet is a costume that resembles a person riding a donkey, which has its origins in the Spanish and Venezuelan cultures. Clem is passionate about preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of Trinidad and Tobago.                                >>>>>>>>>>>>                                         Dawad Philip who holds a Masters of Arts (Carnival Arts) degree from the University of Trinidad and Tobago is a mas man, journalist, painter, calypso ten manager, organizer of Caribbean Theatre Week (NY), and poet. Philip was one of five poets selected to represent Brooklyn in a Brooklyn-Leningrad Literary Exchange in the 1990s. He is the author of three volumes of poetry, Invocations 1980, A Mural by the Sea 2017 (City Twilight 2020), and Jayden and the King of the Brooklyn Carnival, (co-authored with Yolanda Lezama-Clark, 2019), Dawad's collection of poems is an homage not only to our elusive “Sweet Trinidad” but to the many homes and everyday people he encountered in his pilgrimage through life. Some of his poems discern echoes of the distinctive riddims of Andre Tanker's “Back Home” and Sir Derek Walcott's intimations in “Hic Jacket,” and have appeared in anthologies including Steppingstones, Bomb, Caribbean Voices, Poetry International, Voicing Our Vision and New Rain. A recipient of New York State Fellowship on the Arts (Poetry), he has performed his works around the Caribbean, U.S., Canada; Riga, Latvia; Moscow and St. Petersburg. Selected poems of his, have been translated into Russian by the former Leningrad Writers Union. Philip keeps an active hand in the annual Trinidad Carnival and further afield as a costume designer and mas-maker, after winning back in the day, mas band awards in San Fernando Carnival. He was instrumental in the genesis of Jazz on the San Fernando Hill and gave birth (with others) to We People Mas, an all-inclusive mas band in South with designs reminiscent of mas icon Peter Minshall. After living and working in Brooklyn for nearly four decades as a poet, journalist and artist, Philip has since resettled in his hometown of ‘Sando' San Fernando, Trinidad. A Mural by the Sea (2018), a film by the late playwright/filmmaker Tony Hall, is based on selected poems from the book of the same title. His latest book Ayedemah, which means “We are a proud nation” is the precursor to another deep dive into the 100 years of New York Carnival. His works will shortly be entered into the Library of Congress. He remains active in the annual carnival with the National Carnival Commission in Trinidad, as well as being a J'Ouvert advisor to the Trinidad and Tobago Ministry of Culture --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ozzie-stewart/support

Annemieke Bosman praat met Sasja Janssen over haar bejubelde dichtbundel Virgula. Janssen treedt 12 juni op tijdens het festival Poetry International in Rotterdam.  Virgula, Latijn voor komma, houdt de stilstand tegen, laat de gedachten en de taal voortgaan. De dichteres roept haar in elk gedicht aan, als zou ze een godin zijn, een vriendin of geliefde, iemand die ruimte biedt als de leegte te zwaar wordt. Of ze jaagt haar Virgula's juist weg als duivelinnen, wanneer angst en paniek haar denken niet laten stoppen. ‘Ik verlang naar een punt, maar mijn Virgula's kijken er voor uit die te zetten/ik dicht ze me toe, alsof de dood me op de hielen zit'. Janssens gedichten, rijk aan gulzige taal en beelden, zijn gevuld met melancholische herinneringen en, tegelijk, met een groot verlangen naar levenslust. Virgula ontving de Awater Poeziëprijs en was genomineerd voor de Herman de Konickprijs, de Ida Gerhardtpoëzieprijs en de Grote Poëzieprijs.

How do I sum up this conversation? Because we could have talked for days. Dr. Shaw's work is incredibly powerful, so get ready for a very depth-oriented and intense conversation. For example, Dr. Shaw and I cover the real meaning of blessing and the importance of being defeated—not winning. The power of story and myth, comfort versus shelter, and how it all relates to how we're living now. Martin Shaw is widely regarded as one of the most exciting teachers of the mythic imagination. Author of the award-winning Mythteller trilogy (A Branch from the Lightning Tree, Snowy Tower, Scatterlings), he founded the Oral Tradition and Mythic Life courses at Stanford University, and is director of the Westcountry School of Myth in the UK.

Dr. Martin Shaw speaks about his new book, Smoke Hole: Looking to the Wild in the Time of the Spyglass. At a time when we are all confronted by not one, but many crossroads in our lives, Dr. Shaw delivers a work of literary tonic. In Smoke Hole, Martin shares three ancient stories that are metaphors for our world today, a world where we are losing our sense of direction. With extraordinary poignancy, Smoke Hole illuminates the complexities of contemporary life and–through story–a way forward. Martin Shaw is widely regarded as one of the most exciting teachers of the mythic imagination. Author of the award-winning Mythteller trilogy (A Branch from the Lightning Tree, Snowy Tower, Scatterlings), he founded the Oral Tradition and Mythic Life courses at Stanford University, and is director of the Westcountry School of Myth in the UK. He has introduced thousands of people to mythology, and for twenty years Shaw has been a wilderness rites of passage guide, working with at-risk youth, those who are unwell, returning veterans as well as many women and men seeking a deeper life. His translations of Gaelic poetry and folklore (with Tony Hoagland) have been published in Orion Magazine, Poetry International, and Poetry magazine. Dr. Shaw's work has received top praise from the likes of Malidoma Somé, Stephen Jenkinson, Coleman Barks, Robert Densmore, and Robert Bly.

In our first segment for this week's episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc talks with Marjorie Cohn about the highly anticipated report from the International Commission of Inquiry on Systemic Racist Police Violence Against People of African Descent in the United States, which issued a blistering indictment of police-perpetrated racist violence in the U.S. As Cohn writes in Truthout, “The Commissioners concluded that the systematic police killings of Black people in the U.S. constitutes a prima facie case of crimes against humanity and they asked the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to initiate an investigation of responsible police officials.” Marjorie Cohn is professor emerita at Thomas Jefferson School of Law, former president of the National Lawyers Guild, and a member of the bureau of the International Association of Democratic Lawyers and the advisory board of Veterans for Peace. In our second segment, we bring you the latest installment of our ongoing series “Not in Our Name,” which highlights the diverse voices of Jewish activists, artists, intellectuals, and others who are speaking out against the Israeli occupation. In this installment, Marc talks with writer and translator Joanna Chen about the role of literature in understanding and resisting the inhumanity of occupation. Chen teaches poetry at the Helicon School of Poetry and her work has been published in outlets like Guernica, Poet Lore, Consequence, Poetry International, Narratively, and the L.A. Review of Books. Her full-length translations include Less Like a Dove, Frayed Light, and My Wild Garden. Tune in for new episodes of The Marc Steiner Show every Tuesday on TRNN.

Tamara J. Madison, both on the page and in voice, is magical. In her most recent collection, Threed, This Road Not Damascus (Trio House, 2019), she seamlessly bridges the gap between past and present while remaining grounded in the here and now. Via her use of religion, familial history, and rhythm she is able to give voice to those women who oft times were forced to remain silent in order to survive. It is through her poetry that these women, and those still to come, are allowed to be wholly free. Madison creates a new mythology here. A mythology that begins to lay the groundwork for us to create the worlds in which we want to move. She leaves us with the lingering sense that the makings of the universe are in our hands. All we need to do is mold it and name it. Tamara J. Madison is an internationally traveled author, poet, performer, and editor currently teaching as a professor of English and Creative Writing at Valencia College in Orlando, Florida.

Thank you for listening to Mormon Sex Info. This episode is an archived episode and is only now becoming publicly available. Mormon Sex Info relies on contributions. To contribute, please visit: mormonsex.info Please enjoy the episode. Natasha Helfer Parker interviews Dr. Holly Welker, author of Baring Witness: 36 Mormon Women Talk Candidly about Love, Sex and Marriage, about this collection of essays she painstakingly edited. They discuss how Holly became interested in this project through the observation of her own parents’ Mormon marriage, with the catalyst being the death of her mother. And how her curiosity about women, in particular, are affected by their faith journeys within the constructs of their courtships, marriages and sexuality. Are they satisfied? Are they content? Do they experience and prioritize sexual pleasure? From devoted voices to those who have walked away from their faith traditions, Holly does a beautiful job of alerting us to some of the many themes that came up throughout this project — the difficulty many Mormon women have in separating motherhood from being a wife, the interplay between sex and marriage, the role libido differences and unsatisfying sexual experiences play, infidelity, how faith transitions can affect partnered sex, lesbian relationships and even domestic violence. A podcast like this can be quite normalizing for many within the faith to help them understand the many challenges and successes members face. And for those who are motivated to learn more about the Mormon culture (especially non-LDS mental health professionals who work with Mormon clients) this is a great overview of some of the themes found within. She and several of the contributors will be doing some book readings in the upcoming month: The King’s English in Salt Lake City on September 21 at 7:00 pm and Writ and Vision on September 22. Dr. Holly Welker is a writer and editor who received an MFA in poetry from the University of Arizona, an MFA in nonfiction writing and a PhD in English literature from the University of Iowa. Her poetry and prose have appeared in dozens of publications ranging from Best American Essays to Bitch to Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought to Poetry International to the New York Times. She grew up in southern Arizona, the descendant of Mormon pioneers. She is also one of the coeditors of Singing and Dancing to The Book of Mormon: Critical Essays on the Broadway Musical.

De programmeurs van het festival hebben hun best gedaan een afwisselend tableau te maken, en blijkens het openingsprogramma is dat zeker gelukt. De voor zeker driekwart gevulde zaal van de Rotterdamse Schouwburg was enthousiast. Of het de komende dagen even fris blijft, gaan we checken. Volg deze site voor updates. In de podcast hoor je achtereenvolgens: Tijdelijke Toon, Safiya Sinclair, een festivalbezoekster, Joost Baars, de redactie van Awater, Jan Baeke en Feline Streekstra.

Het gaat over nationalisme en identiteit, dit keer. Jan Baeke, dichter en programmeur van Poetry International Rotterdam, vertelt over de editie van 2018, en waarom hij meer van Franse, Amerikaanse en Engelse poëzie houdt, dan van Nederlandse. Het gaat natuurlijk ook over de nieuwste ontwikkelingen, waarin appropriatie, en uitwisseling een thema zijn. We hebben het erover of een poëziefestival zonder politiek kan, en over de vraag of poëzie altijd links is. Prangende vragen nu zich 'rechts' noemende liesden zich ook steeds meer in de kunsten willen roeren. Lees alles over Poetry op Cultureelpersbureau.nl.
