Rabbi Dunner explores the timeless allure of greed and duplicity through captivating stories of history's greatest con artists. From Gregor MacGregor's mythical paradise to Sarah Howe's hollow promises and James Reavis's fabricated aristocracy, these tales of audacious fraud echo the Torah's account of Ephron the Hittite in Chayei Sarah. Drawing powerful lessons from Abraham's integrity, Rabbi Dunner reminds us that honesty and enduring values always triumph over fleeting gains.

Et bien non ! Des arnaques similaires existaient avant lui ! Notamment celle de Sarah Howe, qui avait élaboré un schéma financier frauduleux dans les années 1870, soit plusieurs décennies avant Ponzi.Sarah Howe et le « *Ladies' Deposit »Sarah Howe était une arnaqueuse américaine qui a conçu une escroquerie pyramidale à destination des femmes, connue sous le nom de Ladies' Deposit, dans les années 1870 à Boston. Son arnaque ciblait spécifiquement les femmes célibataires ou veuves, qu'elle convainquait de placer leur argent dans une société censée être exclusivement dédiée à elles. Howe prétendait que ce fonds d'investissement secret rapportait des intérêts exorbitants, autour de 8% par mois. Les femmes déposaient leur argent en espérant recevoir ces intérêts mensuels élevés, et Howe utilisait l'argent des nouvelles clientes pour payer les intérêts des anciennes, créant ainsi un schéma pyramidal. Il n'y avait aucune activité commerciale réelle ou aucun investissement légitime derrière ce modèle financier : elle se contentait de redistribuer l'argent des nouveaux dépôts pour maintenir l'illusion de rentabilité.Similarités avec le schéma de PonziLe modèle financier utilisé par Sarah Howe a fonctionné exactement de la même manière qu'un schéma de Ponzi : les profits des anciens investisseurs étaient payés par les nouveaux investisseurs, créant l'apparence d'une entreprise florissante alors qu'il n'y avait pas de gains réels ou de profits générés par des investissements authentiques. Ce schéma de redistribution des fonds finit par s'effondrer lorsque le flux de nouveaux dépôts diminue, rendant impossible le paiement des anciens investisseurs. Ce fut exactement ce qui arriva à Howe : en 1880, après avoir collecté une somme substantielle d'argent, le Ladies' Deposit s'effondra lorsque des journalistes commencèrent à s'intéresser à son activité et que le nombre de nouveaux déposants chuta. Howe fut arrêtée et emprisonnée pour fraude.Pourquoi Charles Ponzi est plus célèbre ?Même si Sarah Howe avait créé une escroquerie de type Ponzi bien avant Charles Ponzi, c'est ce dernier qui a donné son nom à ce type de fraude en raison de l'ampleur et de la notoriété de son arnaque dans les années 1920. Ponzi a promis à ses investisseurs un retour sur investissement de 50% en 45 jours ou 100% en 90 jours, en prétendant utiliser les fonds pour exploiter des arbitrages sur les coupons-réponse internationaux, un système postal à l'époque. Comme pour Howe, Ponzi payait les anciens investisseurs avec les fonds des nouveaux, sans aucun investissement réel.Cependant, l'escroquerie de Ponzi a pris une bien plus grande ampleur que celle de Howe, attirant des milliers de personnes et générant des millions de dollars avant de s'effondrer en 1920. La taille de son arnaque, son charisme et la couverture médiatique qu'il a reçue ont fait de Ponzi un nom bien plus associé à ce type de fraude, même s'il n'en est pas l'inventeur. Hébergé par Acast.

Before there was Charles Ponzi, there was Sarah Howe. Hanna, Andy, and Fish cover Howe's first attempt at fraudulent banking, the Ladies' Deposit Company. Intro music is from "Across the Line" by the Wellington Sea Shanty Society.

This poem was written by Fred D'Aguiar and Sarah Howe in 2021 as part of the TIDE research project, as a collaboration between the University of Oxford, The Poetry Society and the National Portrait Gallery. It is written as a response to the painting in the National Portrait Gallery Louise de Kéroualle, Duchess of Portsmouth with an unknown girl by Pierre Mignard, 1682. The TIDE project received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement no 681884). The poem is performed by Jess Murrain and Phoebe Campbell.

In the late 1870s, a woman named Sarah Howe started a bank just for single women called the Ladies' Deposit Company. She asked new customers to tell their friends about the bank rather than advertising in newspapers, and she promised she could almost double their money.  Today, the story of the woman running a Ponzi scheme before Charles Ponzi was even born.

Sarah Howe has a 25-year career leading marketing and sales for organizations of varying industries, each with its own thread in the love of the outdoors. Her joy is ignited by energizing teams around common goals and passion projects, building support through stakeholder involvement, creating clear and effective messaging, as well as giving back to the community. She currently holds board member positions with the Vermont Lodging Association, New England Inns and Resorts Association, Accelerate Woman Leadership in Hospitality, and StepsVT (Steps Against Domestic Violence). Sarah is an avid downhill skier, sailor, hiker, mountain biker, or anything else outdoors. On this episode of Destination on the Left, Sarah and I discuss the importance of forging strong connections with both guests and staff at the Lake Morey Resort and how it has helped them strengthen their positioning within the community. Sarah also describes some of the unique community partnerships her company is building and how they help them deliver a better experience for guests and staff alike. What You Will Learn in this Episode: Sarah's background in the hospitality industry Innovations that have helped the Lake Morey resort stand out from the crowd When Sarah realized it was critical to consult the resort's staff on what they felt was the heart of the resort How Sarah communicates a sense of connection to attract new guests to the resort Why Sarah is keen to encourage people to communicate with her where their comfort level, be that email, phone, or text message Creative solutions Sarah has come up with to help her destination move through recent challenges Why reaching out to your peers in the industry can help you determine how to make long-term changes Exciting things in the pipeline for Sarah and Lake Morey Resort How Sarah and her team are leaning into their community partners Connectivity Sarah shares why she appealed to the resort staff to understand what makes Lake Morey resort different. She shares how the team came up with their slogan, ‘you come as friends, and you leave as family,' and why it's important to her that guests leave connecting more deeply with each other. Sarah discusses how she leaned into that philosophy in her marketing and updated their website and printed materials to highlight how important connectivity is at Lake Morey. Creativity in the Face of Challenge Sarah and I discuss how COVID-19 inspired her team to take a step back and look at how they were doing things and really try to be creative. Change can be hard, but once you start making change, the next change is easier and opens those doors and lets the creativity flow. Sarah describes how the input from other hospitality leaders in Vermont and New England helped her team to really understand what was happening and what was working and what wasn't. Creativity often involves stepping out of your comfort zone, starting new projects, and embracing creativity. Community Partnerships Looking into the future, the team at Lake Morey is most excited about their community partnerships. Although they offer their guests a fun and engaging time at the resort, they are planning to offer other community engagement opportunities too. They also plan to grow their free outdoor concert series and extend their winter markets and trivia nights. The Lake Morey resort is being creative and offering different experiences to different types of people so that the whole community can come and enjoy themselves.

This episode might put you in debt with how little we understand money... Hannah and Amanda talk Sarah Howe, William "Bud" Post, and Freckle Tits. They also soft launch Cuban Watch: Stalking Mark Cuban.

In this episode, Sara and Danny take it all the way back to eighth grade Social Studies and recount the story of the woman who started a Ponzi scheme before it was even a thing. Howe launched a ‘charity' to help unmarried women (aka Unprotected Females aka millennial Girl Bosses) and got them to make small donations to help her Swanky Bank. Her #gatekeeping was so successful that male reporters literally couldn't even get inside her building when her business endeavors got suspicious. Unfortunately she wasn't a #womanhelpingwomen; when her clients demanded their money back, Howe couldn't pay them back. Then, the NY Times claimed that women shouldn't be trusted with money. But Howe was anything but stupid. Finally, Sara and Danny finish things off with some trivia: Sarah Howe did it happen?

El esquema Ponzi es una estafa con más de un siglo de historia, pero que sigue plenamente vigente. No solo eso, sino que con internet, las redes sociales y las criptomonedas parecen estar viviendo un nuevo auge. Es fácil encontrarnos en Facebook o en Instagram a gente contando las ventajas y virtudes de algún tipo de inversión. ¿Por presumir? No, para tratar de captar a nuevos usuarios.Porque hace cien años, y ahora, la base de este fraude es la misma: atraer a nuevos inversores, prometiendo rentabilidades altísimas, que paguen las ganancias de los más antiguos. Este tipo de estafas pueden llegar a mantener la ilusión durante mucho tiempo, haciendo creer que son negocios sostenibles, con beneficios fruto de movimientos exitosos, siempre que la mayoría de inversores no exijan el pago total.Este tipo de fraudes, cuando no son detectados y frenados por las autoridades, pueden finalizar de varias formas: porque el operador desaparece, llevándose todo el dinero; cuando el número de nuevos inversores disminuye y ya no se pueden cumplir con los beneficios prometidos; o cuando la economía se hunde y provoca el colapso del esquema, como pasó con Bernie Madoff en 2008.Una parte del funcionamiento de los esquemas Ponzi se comparte con las estafas piramidales, muy similares en general, pero con algunos matices que las diferencian. Así, mientras con Ponzi el objetivo es lograr nuevas inversiones de los estafados ya captados, en el caso de las pirámides la clave es lograr un sistema de red que atraíga a nuevos usuarios dispuestos a invertir.A lo largo de los años ha habido estafas con el sistema Ponzi de gran notoriedad. Uno de los más recientes es el de OneCoin, cuyo creador aseguraba que su valor iba a superar el del BitCoin. Han muerto recientemente Bernie Madoff, responsable del mayor fraude de este tipo; y Lou Pearlman, antiguo manager de bandas como Back Street Boys o Nsync, que también desarrolló un fraude de este tipo. La estafa de los quesitos afectó a víctimas en Perú y Chile. En Argentina fue famosa la estafa de 'El Telar de la Abundancia', que afectó incluso a actrices famosas.Estas son versiones modernizadas y adaptadas a sus tiempos de un fraude que, en realidad, se llevaba a cabo desde mucho antes, basados en la fórmula conocida como 'Robar a Pedro para pagar a Pablo', o 'Tomar prestado a Pedro para pagar a Pablo', que se acabó llamando 'la maniobra de los apóstoles', y que ya se conocen desde el siglo XVIII.En aquella época destacaron los casos de la actriz Adele Spizeder o de Sarah Howe... Y en España el de Baldomera Larra, hija del escritor Mariano José de Larra, y la primera estafa de este tipo conocida en nuestro país.Pero en la historia de esta estafa hay dos personajes fundamentales históricamente. El primero es Carlo Ponzi, a la postre el que acabaría dándole nombre al fenómeno. El fue además el que lo internacionalizó y le dio fama mundial. En los años 20 del pasado siglo, en Boston, este inmigrante italiano fue capaz de captar entre 15 y 20 millones de dólares de la época. Para ello, prometía rentabilidades del 50% en tan solo 45 días.Aseguraba que podía lograr estos beneficios gracias a sus inversiones en cupones de respuesta internacional. Este era el sistema que utilizaban los emigrantes para que sus parientes europeos, empobrecidos, pudieran responder a su correspondencia.Durante los primeros meses, el negocio funcionó con éxito, un aspecto clave para que este fraude funcione. Colas de gente se acumulaban a las puertas de su oficina para invertir. Pero tras una investigación periodística y otras de las autoridades, descubrieron que detrás de la empresa no había nada. Que ni siquiera había invertido en dichos cupones de respuesta internacional.Preocupados, los inversores trataron de recuperar su dinero... y ya fue imposible. Ponzi acabó en la cárcel, exiliado de vuelta a Italia, y falleció a los 66 años, en Brasil, viviendo casi en la pobreza.La otra figura clave en la evolución de esta estafa es William F. Miller, que fue el inspirador del propio Ponzi, y el primero en modernizar el fraude. Este contable de Brooklyn, a principios del Siglo XX, fue arrestado por desarrollar un esquema Ponzi... antes incluso de que se llamase así.Regentaba un negocio, Franklin Syndicate, que prometía rendimientos semanales del 10%. Una loquísima rentabilidad que le valió el apodo de 'Mister 520%'. Aseguraba que había descubierto los secretos de Wall Street, que contaba con información privilegiada.Los primeros inversores a los que convenció fueron compañeros suyos en un club de estudio de la Biblia en el que participaba. Estos recibieron sus reembolsos rápidamente, patrón que ya hemos visto en casos anteriores. La voz se fue corriendo, fue ganando fama, y llegaron a ser miles de personas las que decidieron meter sus ahorros en el negocio de Miller.El dinero llegaba a espuertas. En su mejor mes llegó a recibir 430.000 dólares, y en total el monto captado rondó el millón, lo que equivale a unos 25 millones actuales. Pero como el ritmo de reembolsos era imposible de mantener, pronto se vio en problemas. Consciente de que no tenía escapatoria, diseñó su plan de huida. Para ello, contrató a un abogado, Robert Amonn. Le entregó 240.000 dólares, supuestamente los últimos que le quedaban. Y le encargó una labor: que le hiciese pagos regulares. Con la orden dada, huyó a Canadá. El abogado, otro buen estafador, no llegó a hacer ni un envío.En febrero de 1900, Miller acabó siendo detenido, y condenado a 10 años de cárcel. Pero en prisión cambió, decidió convertirse en una persona más honesta, y alejarse del camino del crimen. Logró ser liberado en solo 5 años, y al salir puso una tienda de alimentación en Long Island.Con su experiencia a cuestas, fue uno de los primeros en advertir sobre la estafa de Ponzi. Cuando fue preguntado por un periodista del New York Evening World, cuestionó cómo Ponzi era capaz de ganar tanto dinero en tan poco tiempo, semanas antes de que su tinglado se desmoronara.

For this second episode in a special two-part series of Destination on the Left episodes, my team visited the Vermont Tourism Summit (without me!) to interview attendees about their experiences working in the travel and tourism industry, especially during the outbreak of and our gradual emergence from the global pandemic. The Vermont Tourism Summit draws one of the largest gatherings of tourism professionals in the state including owners, managers, and employees of the many businesses connected to this important segment of the economy. This year's Summit was the 37th annual event and was held from November 17-18 at the Killington Grand Resort Hotel in Killington, VT. I'm delighted to share the insights and experiences that the Vermont Tourism Summit attendees my team spoke with were willing to offer during their interviews. In this second episode of a special two-part Destination On The Left series, you'll hear from these eight extraordinary travel and tourism leaders and experts: Julie Basol, Coordinator of Marketing & Development at Vergennes Partnership Kim Jackson, PR & Communications Strategist at Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports Lisa Chase, Natural Resources Specialist at University of Vermont Extension Parker Riehle, President of Get On Snow Peter MacLaren, Co-Owner of West Hill House Bed & Breakfast Rick Sokoloff and Marina Meerburg, Owners of 4 Points VT Sarah Howe, Director of Business Development at Lake Morey Resort Sarah Morris, Fifth-Generation Host at Basin Harbor Discussing Challenges and Opportunities at the Vermont Tourism Summit The Vermont Tourism Summit is an annual event that brings together area travel and tourism professionals, businesses, and destinations. This year's event offered a one-of-a-kind opportunity to discuss the many challenges and opportunities Vermont area destinations are navigating in this uniquely challenging time. My team traveled to the Vermont Tourism Summit for this year's gathering and were able to speak with eight incredible experts and business leader attendees, and here are the inspiring insights they had to share. Julie Basol from Vergennes Partnership Julie shares how Vergennes is the ideal destination for anyone who loves the outdoors, and she shares how her goal for 2022 is keeping the small city, its residents, and visitors safe as life begins to move back toward normal. She highlights some of the charming, family-friendly area destinations and attractions that make Vergennes an ideal place for people to visit or relocate to, and she explains why staying positive in this transition period is critical. Kim Jackson from Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports Kim shares why inclusion is foremost in her mind as we close out the year and enter 2022. In her role at Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports, inclusion is critical to their mission. Kim explains why serving people with all sorts of physical and cognitive disabilities. She discusses how the programs Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports offers are designed to make it possible for anyone to enjoy the beautiful mountains and winter activities. She describes the kind of marketing her organization does to get the word out. Lisa Chase from University of Vermont Extension Lisa explains why she is so excited to be hosting the upcoming 2022 International Workshop on Agritourism being held in Burlington, VT from August 30-September 1, 2022. She shares how she got started at UVM twenty years ago, and she shares how she first became aware of the term “agritourism”. She discusses how Vermont is one of the true agritourism capitols of the world. She shares how she saw a call for proposals to present at the first World Congress on Agritourism in Italy in 2018, and what she learned from the concert. She describes how Vermont won the right to host the 2020 conference but had to postpone when the pandemic started, and she discusses how the 2022 International Workshop on Agritourism is the culmination of all the hard work and false starts. Parker Riehle from Get On Snow Parker shares how is organization was founded two years ago to promote outdoor winter recreation. He describes how Get On Snow isn't just focused on bringing skiers and snowboarders to slopes but how the organization also highlights any winter sport people enjoy, including “gateway sports” such as snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. He describes how the outbreak of the global pandemic increased people's desire to get out and enjoy nature even more than before. He shares how optimism and excitement are the prevailing feelings as people begin to become more comfortable with travel again. Peter MacLaren from West Hill Bed & Breakfast Peter shares how Vermont has led the way in vaccinations, and he shares how that commitment to public health has made it easier for destinations such as his West hill Bed & Breakfast to offer safer environments for travelers. He also describes how Vermont's reputation for being one of the safest destinations has brought new people to Vermont who might never have discovered its wonders otherwise. He shares how he believes these newcomers will help offset visitor loss as long-distance travel begins to become more prevalent. He shares how the new presence of big name organizations from the ski industry is creating even more opportunities for the state and for local businesses like his. Rick Sokoloff and Marina Meerburg from 4 Points VT Rick and Marina share how 4 Points VT started as a mountain biking school before integrating brewery tours, and Rick talks about how a key collaborative partnership with the Trapp Family Lodge has become core to the mountain biking experience 4 Points VT offers. The pair discuss adding a third arm to their business, adding customized artisan tours for corporate groups and others. Marina explains how they've even begun requesting family reunions and foliage tours, and she describes how easing pandemic restrictions have helped their business grow dramatically in recent months. Rick and Marina share plans for keeping the pace of their growth while maintaining the high quality they're known for, and they discuss their strategy for continuing to grow to the point that they can be ready to take on full-time employees. Marina describes the personnel challenges the organization has faced in filling roles to keep up with the work, and Rick shares how great training leads to happy return workers season after season. Sarah Howe from Lake Morey Resort Sarah describes her excitement for 2022 and the many new opportunities it is presenting for her resort. She talks about resuming paused programs and starting new ones to attract visitors. Sarah talks about expanding the outdoor activities her resort can offer for visitors and the local community, throughout the year. She explains how collaborating with local businesses and organizations has helped make both her business and the entire area stronger, and she shares how Lake Morey Resort reaches out to area businesses for partnership opportunities. Sarah Morris from Basin Harbor Sarah talks about how Basin Harbor, established in 1886, will be celebrating its 136th birthday in 2022. She discusses some of the challenges her organization has faced through the pandemic, including staffing shortages, and she talks about some of the exciting opportunities she is looking forward to in the coming year. She shares how Basin Harbor has experienced robust demand throughout 2021 that the organization is using to expand their offerings and renovate their facilities. She shares how her property's staff swells from just 25 employees in the winter to over 200+ through the summer season, and she shares how bringing in international workers will be instrumental in Basin Harbor's continued recovery as we emerge from the pandemic. Enthusiasm for a New Beginning As each of these Vermont area travel and tourism leaders discussed, there's an abiding sense of optimism for 2022 as life continues to move beyond the pandemic. Through key collaborations with area partners and through developing a better understanding of travelers' safety needs and entertainment expectations, these organizations are each positioning themselves for a stellar new year! I hope you enjoyed this second episode of our special two-part series from the Vermont Tourism Summit. I hope the positivity and optimism these leaders have shared with us inspire you as we wrap up 2021 and turn the page for a bright new year!

Some believe Ponzi schemes are doomed to fail. But with a sophisticated schemer and a broad enough base of people, they might just be able to keep it going. In honor of Charles Ponzi’s birthday, we talk about the history of the Ponzi scheme and some of the amazing stories of how they’ve been exposed and ways to see them coming.  Today’s guest is Steve Weisman. Steve is a nationally recognized expert in scams and identity theft as well as a lawyer, college professor, and prolific author. His informative speeches, articles, and books make difficult subjects not only understandable, but enjoyable with the humor he brings to these complex issues. Steve is passionate about educating people through his website Scamicide.com. Show Notes: [1:16] - Steve has a personal backstory with a Ponzi scam because his father became the victim of one several years ago. His father was an astute businessman and the people involved with it seemed very honest. [1:50] - Steve also became a victim of identity theft himself and then wanted to help others not have the same problem. [2:29] - After WWI, Charles Ponzi came up with a plan to make money. Steve admits that it is very hard to explain and that is the key to a Ponzi scheme. [3:45] - Schemers blamed their victims for falling for the scheme. They claimed that they deserved what happened because they weren’t smart enough. [4:58] - Steve describes how Charles Ponzi used the money from investors and shares why a more recent scheme in 2008 was successful. [5:46] - In the case of Charles Ponzi, law enforcement didn’t bring him down. The media did. [6:29] - Ponzi did spend time in prison and was kicked out of the country. He went back to Italy and actually scammed Mussolini. [8:04] - Ponzi was probably not the first person to scam this way. In Steve’s research, there was an earlier scam by a woman named Sarah Howe in the 1870s. [9:42] - Upon being released from prison, Sarah went back to her old ways and developed the same exact scam. [10:16] - Steve shares the story of Brad Bleidt to illustrate the term “affinity fraud.” Brad was a Mason and other Masonic groups trusted him. [11:01] - Sarah Howe targeted women. Brad Bleidt targeted other Masons. Bernie Madoff targeted mostly other Jewish people. We trust those who are like us. [12:21] - Steve shares a story about how Bernie Madoff was actually found out much earlier and reported multiple times. [14:10] - This is not just an American phenomenon. A massive Ponzi scheme in Romania took down most of the nation’s economy. [14:43] - When you deal with any kind of investment, you want to check out two things. The first thing is the person you’re dealing with. The second thing is to fully understand what you’re investing in. [15:28] - People like Madoff and Bleidt would be an investment advisor and the person who holds the investment. Most of the time, you want your investment advisor and custodian as separate people. [17:13] - Chris asks a new question of the guest and Steve says it is a very important question. Do these schemes start out as frauds to begin with or do they evolve into it? [19:10] - Some schemers don’t start out that way. They need a little bit more money or time and before they know it, they’re in too deep. [20:03] - Steve points out that Bernie Madoff may have been able to get away with his scheme forever if it weren’t for the unprecedented economic issues in 2008. [21:42] - Bernie Madoff was never actually caught. He knew he was about to be caught and turned himself in. Steve shares the interesting facts of the case and where the money wound up. [24:29] - Ultimately, the money invested with Madoff was able to be returned to investors. But this is unusual. Most of the time, the money is dissipated. [25:08] - Ponzi schemers will appear very successful and wealthy when in reality they are dissipating the funds that they get to appear that way. [27:35] - In addition to living lavish lifestyles, some schemers may have issues with gambling. [28:23] - Steve shares the story of a Ponzi schemer in Florida who was a lawyer. He was a fixture of the high life in South Florida. [30:24] - There was a Texas scammer that owned a bank in the Caribbean selling CDs at high rates. Rather than Ponzi, this was similar to Madoff’s approach. [32:01] - Chris and Steve discuss the regulatory organizations that are intended to investigate Ponzi schemes. [34:18] - If you feel like you are a victim of a Ponzi scheme, you need to report it to the SEC or the Federal Trade Commision.  [35:10] - Investing all of your money into one thing is not a good idea, either. The markets go up and down. Diversification as much as possible is helpful. [36:01] - Steve references the recent GameStop stock that appeared to be a “pump and dump” scam but was not. [38:40] - You have to do your homework on investments. No one likes to do the research and the homework, but it can be detrimental if you do not. [39:53] - In reference to the GameStop stock, Steve explains that when investors were “sticking it to the man,” they were impacting hedge funds. [41:05] - Steve is a big believer in investing but clarifies that day trading is not investing, but rather gambling. [43:03] - Chris and Steve sum up the red flags to look for to avoid being a victim of a Ponzi scheme. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

Review contributor Sandeep Parmar talks to Mary Jean Chan, guest co-editor with Will Harris of the spring 2020 issue of The Poetry Review. Sandeep reads her poem, ‘The Nineties', and reflects on its origins – growing up in California at the time of the L.A. riots, which followed the arrest and beating of Rodney King, the trial of O.J. Simpson and the 1994 Northridge earthquake – and their relevance now, following the killing of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement as a catalyst for change. In an exhilarating conversation Sandeep and Mary Jean discuss race and contemporary literature, the lyric 'I' and, post-Claudia Rankine's Citizen: An American Lyric, the fluidities and opportunities of the second-person ‘you', and changing the critical context of BAME writing with the Ledbury Emerging Critics scheme, which Sandeep co-founded with Sarah Howe.

Harvest Church Knoxville Tim Atchley Jesus Christ God Grace

The poem is about the poet's love of a medieval stone tower in Istanbul, Turkey. Karin Karakaşlı’s pain can be deeply felt in most of her poems. However, alongside this we encounter an enormous amount of love for the geography she lives in, especially the city of Istanbul. Karakaşlı has an almost synergetic relationship with this city, as we can see in this poem ‘Galata’ – with the history embedded in every stone, every building and every landscape. You can buy 'History-Geography' a short introduction of poems by Karakaşlı, with translations by the poet Sarah Howe and Canan Marasligil. This is part of our new rebranded weekly release: the Dual Poetry Podcast, one poem in two languages from the Poetry Translation Centre. As ever we will be releasing a translated poem each week. Please take a moment to rate and review this podcast on iTunes or wherever you download.

They also discuss contemporary art, installations and film and influences such as Amy Woolard, Stephen Burt, Lucie Brock-Broido and the work of fellow-writers Safiya Sinclair, Ocean Vuong and Timothy Donnelly.

He waits all through the night, expecting to be taken away to the Big House. Any celebrity he has known in the previous decade is no use to him now. And few who are taken to the Big House ever return.Sarah Howe - Loop of JadeThere is a Chinese proverb that says: ‘It is more profitable to raise geese than daughters.’ But geese, like daughters, know the obligation to return home. In her exquisite first collection, Sarah Howe explores a dual heritage, journeying back to Hong Kong in search of her roots.With extraordinary range and power, the poems build into a meditation on hybridity, intermarriage and love – what meaning we find in the world, in art, and in each other.
