Join our poetry Salon and Open Mic: https://parallax-media-network.mn.co/share/5hSLvQW7bNszFGEo?utm_source=manual About Joe Ross Author of over fifteen books of poetry, Joe Ross was born in Pennsylvania and graduated magna cum laude from the Honors Program at Temple University in Philadelphia. He soon moved thereafter to Washington, D.C. where he wrote his first book, Guards of the Heart, consisting of four plays written in poetic form. In Washington D.C., he worked at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and was extraordinarily active in the cultural scene of that city. He served as the President of the Board of the Poetry Committee at The Folger Shakespeare Library from 1994-1997 and as the Literary Editor of the arts bi-monthly The Washington Review from 1991-1997. He also Co-founded and directed the In Your Ear poetry reading series at the District of Columbia Arts Center. During these years Ross continued to publish poetry, including How to Write; or, I used to be in love with my jailer (Texture Press, 1992); An American Voyage (Sun & Moon Press, 1993); Push (Leave Books, 1994); De-flections (Potes and Poets, 1994); Full Silence (Upper Limit Music, 1995); and The Fuzzy Logic Series (Texture Press, 1996). His poetry reveals close links with the "Language" poets but seeks in its often disjunctive structure, puns, and linguistic riddles, to be accessible to a large audience. Many of Ross's poems are subliminally political while concerned with love and interrelations between individuals. The American Voyage, in particular, concerns the idealism of American culture and its failures as a culture to live up to those ideals. Douglas Messerli, Publisher of Sun & Moon Press In 1997 he received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship Award for his poetry and moved to San Diego, where he worked for The City of San Diego Commission's for Arts and Culture. In 1999, he left that position to put his poetics into practice, and to work directly in politics. He served as the Senior Chief of Policy for several elected officials. He also continued to be very active in the San Diego cultural scene, serving as a board member of the San Diego Art Institute and Co-founding and curating the Beyond the Page reading series in that city. Two more books appeared: The Wood Series (Seeing Eye Books, 1997); and EQUATIONS=equals (Green Integer, 2004). In 2003 he received his first of three Gertrude Stein Poetry Awards. In 2004, he moved to Paris, where he continues to publish while working in communication and social change. His most recent titles are: Strati (Bi-lingual Italian/English, La Camera Verde, 2007); Strata (Dusie Press, 2008); Wordlick (Green Integer, 2011); 1000 Folds (Chax Press, 2014); Last Days on Earth (Dusie Press, 2017); and History and its Making – The Making of History (Bi-lingual French/English, Presses Universitaires de Rouen et du Havre, 2017).

What is a good life, and how do we make sense of the world when it seems like society is collapsing? In this episode, Lucas Bender joins us once again to discuss the work of Du Fu (712-770 C.E.), the great Chinese poet of the Tang Dynasty. Luke helps us to see how Du Fu's “Passing the Night by White Sands Post Station” can be read in multiple ways depending on how one translates each word of the poem. In doing so, he reveals the poem's concerns with aging, disappointment, and the possibility of hope in difficult times.

Lucas Bender is the author of Du Fu Transforms: Tradition and Ethics amid Societal Collapse (https://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674260177) (Harvard University Press, 2021).

It's been a while since we've had some poetry on EcoCast, so… enjoy some poetry on EcoCast! We're joined by Heather Swan, poet and lecturer at University of Wisconsin-Madison. Heather shares some poems from her collection A Kinship with Ash, and we discuss her non-fiction books, Where Honeybees Thrive and the forthcoming Where the Grass Still Sings. We talk about the wonder and grief inspired by witnessing the natural world and the harms done to it by humans, and think about the power of writing and art as means to “knit yourself back into the world”, as one of Heather's poems invites us to do.

Like the wind in the trees Like the night summer breeze Like the stars falling down into the runes Like a midnight fern blooms Like the sound of blues... Like the wind in the trees She appears... Despite the obstacles she's going through, She makes the miracles come true... And when she smiles through the tears, God's dancing invisibly like the wind in the trees...

James Laughlin (1914-1997) I knew very little about Laughlin except that he founded New Directions Publishing after Pound had told him ‘to do something useful'. I think this poem is a ‘version' of a Latin poem by Propertius rather than a strict translation. I've taken it from ‘World Poetry' edited by Washburn and Major where the poem's title is followed by: (After the Pervigilium Veneris and Propertius's ‘Nox Mihi Candida'.) Centuries after the originals were created, I suspect most people might recognise the sentiment.

This is Annoymous, Egyptian, from 1160 BC, and it's translated by John L. Foster. ‘Let your heart be drunk on the gift of Day, until that day comes when you anchor'. Good advice really. It's taken from the magnificent ‘World Poetry. An anthology of verse from Antiquity to the our time' edited by Washburn and Major.

24.04.2019 Making Sense Of A Changing World: Poetry And Music In Contexts Of Political Instability Professor Kelly Askew, a renown anthropologist and ethnographic filmmaker, explores how music and poetry can offer opportunities for ordinary people to navigate, make sense, and negotiate moments of political transitions. This talk includes video-clips, poems, and insights from her anthropological research in East Africa, and most notably in the island of Zanzibar – a place where people have used rap music, Taarab, and vernacular poetry to navigate everyday challenges and negotiate moments of political upheavals. Besides Zanzibar and East Africa, this talk reflects more broadly on how artistic performances today can serve as an orienting device in a collective moment marked by rapid mutations and a more uncertain future. Speaker Kelly Askew, Director of the African Studies Center, Professor of Anthropology and Afroamerican and African Studies, University of Michigan

Poet for President in 2020!What about that idea? We tried a business man who is a liar -cheat - con man - maybe, a lyrical president would be a nice change of pace.This was one of many ideas that came up in our delightful, fun conversations at Gebhard's Beer Culture Bar with three poet/performers who had participated in the World Poetry Movement event called "For a World Without Walls" held at the St. Illuminator's Armenian Apostolic Cathedral in February 2019.Let us know what you think about BCR -- and we are always looking for suggestions of show topics -- barcrawlradio@gmail.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In honour of World Poetry day, we bare our souls with an in-depth poetry discussion- I mean we go stuck into it making this our longest episode yet. We celebrate the moving poems of Mary Oliver who left us last year and celebrate her mind and words. We get stuck into Instapoets with Norman (who is one himself) and talk about inclusivity in poetry and how poets like Rupi Kaur have brought poetry to the mainstream. We even touched on Spoken Word poetry and how it represents the present generation. We discuss books with Norman and get his 5 Tips on how to be an Instapoet.

Two of the world’s greatest living poets come together for a rare Los Angeles reading and conversation. The work of Robert Hass, former U.S. Poet Laureate and long-time translator of Nobel Laureate Czesław Miłosz, speaks to us of love and loss, of the hopefulness and the limitations of intimacy, of our humanness laid bare in the midst of art, the natural world, and each other. His most recent essay collection, A Little Book on Form, illuminates the impulses that underlie great poetry. Adam Zagajewski, whose outlook was formed in the aftermath of the Second World War and the occupation of Poland, negotiates the earthbound and the ethereal in poems that can be as arresting as they are luminous, as witty as they are serious. His recent memoir, Slight Exaggeration, is a wry and philosophical defense of mystery. During a time when our world feels deeply damaged and charged with uncivil discourse, these two masters of language will explore poetry’s enduring inclination to marvel, with novelist Andrew Winer serving as interlocutor.
