Humans have been throwing each other out of windows pretty much as long as humans have had windows more than one story or so off the ground, but only Prague is famous for them. Two of them actually led to wars, even. We are very happy to tell you about the famous defenestrations, wherin all sorts of officials got thrown out of windows, and Michelle is happy to tell you about the tourist trade. Oh, and also Susan Howe's poem "Defenestration of Prague," which is, of course, about Ireland. Because metaphors. 

The latest guest on The PR Week podcast is none other than Weber Shandwick Collective CEO Gail Heimann. Heimann made news of her own this week when Weber announced she will step down in November, to be replaced by agency president Susan Howe. Why is this fall the right time for a leadership transition? Heimann talks about that and much more, including the origin story of the Cannes Lions-winning Edible Mascot campaign and her thoughts on the presidential election on the latest edition of The PR Week. Plus the biggest marketing and communications news of the week, including Finn Partners' acquisition of a Paris agency and the PRWeek US Awards 2025 opening for entries.  Follow us: @PRWeekUSReceive the latest industry news, insights, and special reports.

What is it to write? What roles do ceremony, beauty, and material play in the act of writing? Not only is The Pillow Book of Sei Shōnagon  an early classic of Japanese literature, written in the 10th century by a lady of the Heian-era court, it is also—five hundred years before Montaigne— the world's first sustained portrayal of an individual self as she lives, thinks, and feels from day to day. A genre-bending mix of poems, lists, essays, and anecdotes, Shōnagon's original work was composed on Empress-provided fine paper and expresses as much delight in the materials and physical activity of writing as in the human dramas and exquisite moments of courtly life. In this episode, Santa Fe host Krishnan Venkatesh and tutor Ron Wilson explore the power of the material conditions of writing—the handmade ink, the rare pens, the costly paper, the social culture of the highly insular court—in energizing and focusing the creator's mind. They explore the writer's love of writing as ceremonial beyond Shōnagon to Emily Dickinson, Virginia Woolf, and poet Susan Howe, writers for whom the material conditions of writing are essential for their work. From this arises a pressing contemporary question: what has been lost in today's digital world, where few material limitations exist? 

Ben Luke talks to Joan Jonas about her influences—including those from the worlds of literature, film, music and, of course, art—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work.Jonas, who was born in 1936 in New York and still lives in the city today, is one of the most significant and pioneering artists in the history of video and performance. She draws inspiration from a wealth of cultures and traditions, alluding to everything from fairy tales to ancient myths, scientific study and art history, and brings them together in multidisciplinary installations involving live action, drawing, spoken word, music, sound and video. She discusses her early interest in Minoan culture and Renaissance depictions of space, life-changing visits to Japan and Iceland, and writers as diverse as Jorge Luis Borges, Halldór Laxness, and Susan Howe. Plus, she gives insights into her studio life and has a stirring answer to the ultimate question: what is art for?Joan Jonas: Moving off the Land, Walther König, 272 pp, €25.

In the three-part podcast series Listening to the In-Between we will put the rich practice of Deep Listening® into a broader context. In our second episode, Deep Listener Sharon Stewart invites us to participate in embodied rituals of attention, a practice of listening to or sensing aspects of power and powerlessness in the world that surrounds us. This reconnected her to the ground-breaking work of Audre Lorde, “Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power”.   In 2021 we made the podcast-series Sounding Places / Listening Places, which is still available at Radio ArtEZ. In it we explored how sound and listening can contribute to realizing more sustainable and reciprocal relations with the earth. Back then, we already dipped our toes in the world of Deep Listening®. In the three-part podcast series Listening to the In-Between we will put this rich practice into a broader context.   In Part I, researcher and music journalist Joep Christenhusz explores Deep Listening, its connection to space and time, and the interrelations between the outer and the inner world the practice reveals through sonic awareness.   In this second episode, Deep Listener Sharon Stewart further connects the idea of an embodied practice with the theme of power and powerlessness by working with others through the creation of text scores, also conceptualized as rituals of attention, that offer a way of listening to or sensing aspects of power and powerlessness in an embodied way. After an open call, Laurens Krüger (student DBKV ArtEZ Zwolle) and Martine van Lubeek (graduate of BEAR ArtEZ Arnhem) participated in this process. Laurens presents her “Triangle Dance with force fields” and Martine her “Score for Thinking-Feeling with the Earth”, a score to bring us into relation with the more-than-human elements all around us.   In the final third of the podcast (from 32min on), Sharon Stewart talks about how Audre Lorde's work inspired her in creating a text score from the perspective of our theme: the Body and Power(lessness) and presents the score “Listening through connection and difference”.   In the third and last part of our podcast series we will dive deeper into theoretical concepts related to Deep Listening.   Show Notes In the podcast you hear the following audio fragments:   Pauline Oliveros, Stuart Dempster, Panaiotis, Album Deep Listening, track 1, ‘Lear', reproduced by permission of PoP and MoM Publications.

Welcome to the fourth episode of Season Seven of the Bagley Wright Lecture Series on Poetry podcast. Season Seven of the podcast includes lectures written and delivered by Douglas Kearney during his tenure as a Bagley Wright Lecturer. Today we'll hear “You Better Hush: Blacktracking A Visual Poetics.” This talk was originally given March 31, 2021, at Seattle Arts & Lectures, via Zoom. Aretha and the Iceman, J-Dilla, Susan Howe, and a bird that becomes a fish only to become a bird, flower, then a bird again meet up in this lecture about visuality/visibility (Evie Shockley) and the textual/textural. Poet Douglas Kearney will discuss what draws him to visual poetry, the disruptive pleasure of collage's cut, recognition as a strategy that places reading in tension with looking, and the genealogy of a threat from a spiritual to 1990s gangsta rap. Visit us at our website, www.bagleywrightlectures.org, for more information about Bagley Wright lecturers, as well as links to supplementary materials on each lecturer's archive page, including selected writings.

The “Massachusetts Beagle Freedom Bill”, if passed, would require researchers who use animals for testing to offer them up for adoption when their tenure is done, instead of sending them directly to be euthanized. Cara Zipoli, Susan Howe of the Aisling Center, and Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester), come together on the show to talk with Nichole about their efforts to get this legislation passed. Cara and Susan also explain why beagles are used for testing, why research animals make great pets, and the regulations surrounding animal testing. May is American Stroke Month. Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability in the United States, and it's one of the top health conditions that can lead to death. Dr. Hugo Javier Aparicio, assistant professor of neurology at Boston University School of Medicine, joins Nichole to explain the risk factors, talk about what triggers a stroke, and ways you can spot the warning signs.

New Directions at 85: The Anniversary Celebration with Forrest Gander as MC and Rosmarie Waldrop, Susan Howe, Nathaniel Tarn, Nathaniel Mackey, Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, Sylvia Legris, Michael Palmer, Will Alexander, Eliot Weinberger, and other surprise guests. This event was originally broadcast live via zoom on Thursday, June 3, 2021 and was introduced by City Lights' Peter Maravelis and hosted by Forrest Gander. New Directions was founded in 1936 by James Laughlin, then a Harvard University sophomore, via advice from Ezra Pound to "do something useful" after finishing his studies at Harvard. The first projects to come out of New Directions were anthologies of new writing, each titled "New Directions in Poetry and Prose" (until 1966's NDPP 19). Early writers incorporated in these anthologies include Dylan Thomas, Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, Thomas Merton, Denise Levertov, James Agee, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti. New Directions publishing program includes writing of all genres, representing not only American writing, but also a considerable amount of literature in translation from modernist authors around the world. Among some of the writers they have published are Nobel Prize Winners: Andre Gide, Pablo Neruda, Boris Pasternak, Octavio Paz, Pulitzer Prize Winners: Hilton Als, George Oppen, Gary Snyder, Williams Carlos Williams, National Book Award Winners: Yoko Tawada, Nathaniel Mackey, Man Booker Prize Winner László Krasznahorkai, as well as many others. The current focus of New Directions is threefold: discovering and introducing to the US contemporary international writers; publishing new and experimental American poetry and prose; and reissuing New Directions' classic titles in new editions. Drawing from the tradition of the early anthologies and series, New Directions launched the Pearl series, which presents short works by New Directions writers in slim, minimalist volumes designed by Rodrigo Corral.

In our first podcast our exiting Conference director, Alan Golding, talks with our in-coming director, Matthew Biberman, offering advice along with cherished memories of several major American poets and scholars including Frank Bidart, Robert Creeley, Clayton Eshleman, Susan Howe, W. S. Merwin, Harryette Mullen, Marjorie Perloff, and Nathaniel Mackey.

In this final episode of Season One of Community Conversations, Nick Sturm, NEH Postdoctoral Fellow in Poetics at Emory's Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry, does a deep dive into small press publishing with Maureen Owen, legendary publisher of Telephone Books and Telephone Magazine in New York from 1969-1983, bringing many then-unknown poets' books into the world, including Susan Howe, Patricia Spears Jones, and Yuki Hartman. The Raymond Danowski Poetry Library, a part of the Rose Library's literary and poetry collections, recently acquired several Telephone books and magazine issues, which completes the collection, and is the only educational institution to house the complete run.Maureen Owen, former editor and chief of Telephone Magazine and Telephone Books, is the author of Erosion's Pull from Coffee House Press, a finalist for the Colorado Book Award and the Balcones Poetry Prize. Her title American Rush: Selected Poems was a finalist for the L.A. Times Book Prize and her work AE (Amelia Earhart) was a recipient of the prestigious Before Columbus American Book Award. She has taught at Naropa University, both on campus and in the low-residency MFA Creative Writing Program, in Naropa's Summer Writing Program, and co-edited Naropa's on-line zine not enough night through 19 issues. Her newest title Edges of Water is available from Chax Press. She has most recently had work in Blazing Stadium, Positive Magnets, Posit, and The Denver Quarterly.

Thinking back, Susan Howe thinks having two sons who went to war played an important role in her resolve to start an Honor Flight Hub in Arizona. She first heard about the Honor Flight program in 2008, and was inspired by the story of the organization dedicated to honoring our nation's veterans with an all-expenses paid trip to the memorials in Washington, D.C., a trip many of our veterans may not otherwise be able to take. She took her father, a B-24 nose gunner, on an Honor Flight from Ohio and came back determined to start a hub in Arizona. True to her word, she completed the paperwork for the first Honor Flight AZ board and began fundraising. The first trip was in November 2009 with 12 veterans.

Ett samtal om språkets användning och roll i konst utifrån fyra konstnärliga praktiker. Medverkande konstnärer: Hans Isaksson, Imri Sandström, Lisa Torell och Johanna Gustafsson Fürst. MEDVERKANDE: IMRI SANDSTRÖM är konstnär, författare, forskare och lärare. Informerad av feminism, posthumanim och dekolonialt tänkande är hon upptagen av frågor som rör ljud, översättning, språk och historia. Våren 2019 fick hon sin doktorsexamen i litterär gestaltning från Akademin Valand, Göteborgs universitet. Avhandlingen Tvärsöver otysta tider / Across Unquiet Times handlar om litterära språk och historier från nybbygarkolonier i regionerna Västerbotten och New England, nordöstra USA, tolkat genom verk av poeten och litteraturteoretiker Susan Howe. LISA TORELL arbetar i en mängd olika medier, bl a performance, installation video och text. 2018 disputerade hon med projektet "Potential of the Gap" inom ramen för konstnärlig forskning i Norge (Norwegian Artistic Research Programme). I hennes performativa platsrelaterade praktik utforskar hon frågor relaterade till samhälle och funktion med fokus på relationen mellan plats, språk och identitet. Hon har bland annat visats på Marabouparken, Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum i Tromsø, Bonniers konsthall. Lisa Torell är för närvarande postdoctoral researcher på konsthögskolan i Umeå HANS ISAKSSON arbetar med en slags förvrängd hyperrealism i olika material och metoder för att ge bortglömda eller försakade ting ett nytt tredimensionellt liv och belysa värderingar vi lägger i de saker som omger oss. Ingen form är oskyldig och ingen mening är stabil. Vad man ser och hur man uppfattar informationen blir en fråga om perspektiv. Hans Isaksson arbetar för närvarande med en separatutställning på och en publikation om arbetet med "Residence-in-Nature 3". Isaksson curerade och producerade "Residence-In-Nature 3" som tog plats i Isakssons barndomsby Lainio i Norrbotten, tillsammans med Åsa Jungnelius och Lisa Torell. Samtalet modereras av Therese Kellner, intendent på Accelerator, och spelades in 22 november 2020.

I Imri Sandströms konstnärliga forskningsprojekt Howe Across Reading korsas Västerbottens och New Englands historier och språk med texter av Susan Howe. Genom översättande skrivande och ordvitsande uppmärksammas det "oroliga/onybyggande" (unsettling) och det "otysta" (unquiet) i områdena. Som en konstnärlig utvärdering och i samma stund en fortsättning på arbetet har författare bjudits in att skriva utifrån och att svara på verket. Författarna Ida Linde och Johan Sandberg McGuinne läser ur sina svar och samtalar med Imri Sandström om översättning och flerspråkigt skrivande.
 Samtalet hölls i Rum för översättning på Bokmässan i Göteborg den 28 september 2019. Medverkande: Imri Sandström, Ida Linde och Johan Sandberg McGuinne. Arrangör: Akademin Valand. Fotograf: Naomi Aira.

Award-winning American poet Susan Howe visited Harvard Divinity School on April 24 to speak about the binding together of freedom and law, spontaneity and habit, as occasions for awakening a reader to the exaltation of spirit in process. Crossing the guarded borders between image and word, individual and community, history and the present, poetry provides an opening to the transcendent order that chance makes possible. Susan Howe's collection of poems, That This, won the Bollingen Prize in 2011. In 2017 she received the Robert Frost award for distinguished lifetime achievement in American poetry.

The Joan Roth and William M. Roth Lecture Series was established in 2017 to honour the contributions made over many years by Joan and William M. Roth to the arts and culture in Ireland. This year's lecture/reading reflects the Roth's particular interest in literature, poetry and the book arts. From William Roth's bibliography of English and American first editions of W.B. Yeats's work, published in 1939, through to his establishment of the Colt Press, in the 1950s, the Roths have long been involved in promoting poetry and literature more generally in Ireland and further afield. It is particularly fitting that this year's Roth lecture will be given by the US American poet, artist, editor, writer and printmaker Erica Van Horn. Like the Roths, she has spent many years living and working in Ireland where she has enjoyed a long friendship with the Roth family. Erica was born in New Hampshire in 1954. The Book Remembers Everything: The Work of Erica Van Horn, was shown at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale in 2010, where there is an archive of her books and papers. Among her most recent publications is Living Locally, with a foreword by Susan Howe, published by Uniformbooks in 2011/14.

As a poet and translator, Dr. Back, discusses how her own poetic sensibility enables her to inhabit and translate the work of Israeli poet, Tuvia Ruebner. Rachel Tzvia Back is a poet, a translator of Hebrew poetry, a scholar and an educator. She is the recipient of numerous awards and fellowships, including a PEN Translation grant, a Dora Maar Brown Foundation Fellowship, and a Hadassah-Brandeis Research grant. In addition to five volumes of her own poetry (English) and a study of the poetics of the American poet Susan Howe (1999), Back has published important collections of Israeli poetry in translation. Her collection In the Illuminated Dark: Selected Poems of Tuvia Ruebner (Hebrew Union College Press and University of Pittsburgh Press, 2014) won the triennial Risa Domb/Porjes Prize in 2016, and was a finalist for both the National Translation Award in Poetry and the Jewish Book Council Award in Poetry in 2015. Her new translation collection On the Surface of Silence: The Last Poems of Lea Goldberg is forthcoming from Hebrew Union College Press and the University of Pittsburgh Press in Spring 2017. Her other acclaimed translation works include Lea Goldberg: Selected Poetry and Drama (2006), With an Iron Pen: Twenty Years of Hebrew Protest Poetry (2009) and Night, Morning: Selected Poems of Hamutal Bar-Yosef (2008). Back lives in the Galilee, where her great-great-great grandfather settled in the 1830s; she teaches at Oranim College, in the foothills of the Carmel Mountains. Her classes include students from Jewish, Muslim and Christian backgrounds; thus, the classroom becomes a laboratory for inter-ethnic and religious dialogue through literature among people dwelling in a political, religious, and ethnic conflict zone.

How do you tell a life story through a poem? For Jessica Wilkinson, poetry can go much further than straightforward biography. In this interview she talks about discovering Susan Howe, working with (not against) a self-confessed short attention span, and founding the fantastic Rabbit poetry journal.

Charles Ruas is joined by Susan Howe to reminisce about their collaboration in the production of a 1975 WBAI radio project that celebrated the life and work of poet and playwright, V. R. "Bunny" Lang. This 2004 recording of their discussion serves as an entree to Clocktower Radio's rebroadcast of the short series of historic programs that they produced about the late writer whose "querulous warmth and astounding energy (made her a) 'queen' to her circle of friends". The original tribute consisted of a series of interviews with Lang's collaborators and contemporaries and a radio play/re-enactment of one of her works. The young Susan Howe knew Lang, her mother was a member of The Poets' Theater in Cambridge-- a collective that Lang co-founded in 1950 along with Thornton Wilder, William Carlos Williams and others. As a girl, Howe performed in some of their productions, which strongly influenced her future work. In addition to The Poets' Theater, Lang served in the Canadian Women's Army Corps during WWII and was an editor for the Chicago Review. Following this she move to New York where she became associated with the New York School of Poets and established an important friendship with Frank O'Hara. She died of Hodgkin's disease in 1956 at the age of 32. American poet and critic, Susan Howe (born 1937) is known for her work infused with historical and mythical references. She is often linked with the Postmodern Language poets. Howe has been awarded with numerous awards, such as two American Book Awards and a Guggenheim fellowship.

Her published works include; Hinge Picture (1974), Articulation of Sound Forms in Time (1987), The Birth-Mark: Unsettling the Wilderness in American Literary History (1993), and Frolic Architecture (2011). Howe has two 2015 releases from New Directions, The Quarry, selections from her uncollected essays, nominated for a National Book Award and including her seminal piece, The End of Art, and a re-issue of her 1993 The Birth-mark, examining the histories of landmark works from Cotton Mather to Emily Dickinson and subsequent American writers.
