While these poets share places\, both Fióna and Divya have lived in Tamil Nadu\, both Chandrika and Fióna live in Dublin\, and both Divya and Chandrika were born in India\, their writing emerges from displacement and cannot be easily situated in a national poetic tradition.” \n\n \nFióna Bolger \nFióna Bolger is author of a compound of words.

She is currently working towards a PhD at Dublin City University entitled ‘Searching for Poems in the Cracks Between Borders’. Poems can be corralled into lists by country\, by language\, by form. Fióna Bolger is interested in those that fall between categories\, challenge the existence of formal\, linguistic\, cultural\, or geographic boundaries\, borders. \n  \n \nChandrika Narayanan-Mohan  \nChandrika Narayanan-Mohan (She/Her) is a Dublin-based arts manager\, writer\, and performer from India. Her work has been published in Writing Home: The ‘New Irish’ Poets from Dedalus Press\, The Ireland Chair of Poetry Hold Open the Door anthology by UCD Press\, the Green Carnations: 25 Young LGBTQ+ Poets from Ireland anthology by Book Hub Publishing\, Banshee\, Honest Ulsterman\, Impossible Archetype\, and Poetry Ireland Review.

SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Reading: "Free Speech:  And Why You Should Give a Damn" by Jonathan Zimmerman\, Signe Wilkinson (Illustrator)
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Poetry Reading: “Free Speech: And Why You Should Give a Damn” by Jonathan Zimmerman\, Signe Wilkinson (Illustrator)\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/87881707311?pwd=S0pHK2tnUkp4SzlmajNmV2hCUkFMQT09 \nMeeting ID: 878 8170 7311 – Passcode: 322627 \n Purchase This Title\n\n \nIn America\, we like to think we live in a land of liberty\, where everyone can say whatever they want. Throughout our history\, however\, we have also been quick to censor people who offend or frighten us. We talk a good game about freedom of speech\, then we turn around and deny it to others. In this brief but bracing book\, historian Jonathan Zimmerman and Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Signe Wilkinson tell the story of free speech in America: who established it\, who has denounced it\, and who has risen to its defense. They also make the case for why we should care about it today when free speech is once again under attack. Across the political spectrum\, Americans have demanded the suppression of ideas and images that allegedly threaten our nation. But the biggest danger to America comes not from speech but from censorship\, which prevents us from freely governing ourselves. Free speech allows us to criticize our leaders. It lets us consume the art\, film\, and literature we prefer. And\, perhaps most importantly\, it allows minorities to challenge the oppression they suffer. While any of us are censored\, none of us are free. \nJonathan Zimmerman is the Judy and Howard Berkowitz Professor in Education at the University of Pennsylvania. A former Peace Corps volunteer\, he is the author of Campus Politics: What Everyone Needs to Know and seven other books. He is also a frequent op-ed contributor to The New York Times\, the Washington Post\, and other national newspapers and magazines. Zimmerman received the 2019 Open Inquiry Leadership Award from Heterodox Academy\, which promotes viewpoint diversity in higher education. \nSigne Wilkinson was the first female to receive the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning in 1992. \n

We watched as the numbers of deaths mounted and agreed that it was the worst health crisis we’d experienced in a hundred years. What we longed for were stories about people lost to the insidious virus\, and those left behind. We wanted stories of survival\, coping\, finding our way to the future. In making much of the mundane\, 53 poets share 70 poems in the anthology A 21st Century Plague: Poetry from a Pandemic. The poems\, by diverse and award-winning writers\, capture and share the collective Covid. They reveal that we were brave in our contemplative journey. This anthology adds to the tradition of sharing stories in well-chosen words that move and enlighten us. \n  \nMichael Bosworth recently returned to writing poetry and creative nonfiction after a 45-year hiatus. He is on the board of the Brattleboro Commons newspaper in Vermont and an active member of WriteAction in Brattleboro. \n  \n  \nElayne Clift is an award-winning writer and journalist whose work appears in numerous publications and anthologies internationally.

DESCRIPTION:Virtual Poetry Reading: Remembering Lucille Clifton\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84532069956?pwd=c2VzQWMrWnN6a3oxR3ZvaVVEWS93UT09 \nMeeting ID: 845 3206 9956 – Passcode: 704102 \n\n \n  \nLucille Clifton (June 27\, 1936 – February 13\, 2010) \nHer first book of poems\, Good Times (1969)\, was rated one of the best books of the year by the New York Times. \nLucille Clifton was the author of several other collections of poetry\, including Blessing the Boats: New and Selected Poems 1988–2000\, which won the National Book Award; Good Woman: Poems and a Memoir 1969-1980\, which was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize; and Two-Headed Woman\, also a Pulitzer Prize nominee as well as the recipient of the University of Massachusetts Press Juniper Prize. Clifton was also the author of Generations: A Memoir and more than sixteen books for children\, written expressly for an African-American audience. \n“In contrast to much of the poetry being written today—intellectualized lyricism characterized by an application of inductive thought to unusual images—Lucille Clifton’s poems are compact and self-sufficient…Her revelations then resemble the epiphanies of childhood and early adolescence\, when one’s lack of preconceptions about the self-allowed for brilliant slippage into the metaphysical\, a glimpse into an egoless\, utterly thingful and serene world.” – Rita Dove \nSend us a Praise poem or Tribute to Lucille Clifton\nDeadline for submissions: June 18\, 2021 | Click here to submit \nProgram: June 27\, 2021
