SUMMARY:Kevin Craft + Troy Jollimore: an Afternoon of Poetry
DESCRIPTION:Craft Talk: “A Red Hot Half-Brick in an Old Sock: Tradition\, Subversion\, and the Sonnet” (1:00-2:00) \nWhy would anyone today choose to write a sonnet? In fact\, some of our best contemporary poets have taken a stab at the venerable form\, in order to explore (and\, at times\, explode) the limits of the form\, and to place the sonnet in the service of surprising\, at times radical ends. In this joint talk\, poets Kevin Craft and Troy Jollimore discuss the sonnet form\, its history\, its poetic nature\, its particular capabilities and possibilities\, and talk about their own experiences reading and writing sonnets. (The craft talk will be followed by a break with wine and savory treats.) \nReading: “Burn After Reading: The Poetry of Kevin Craft and Troy Jollimore.” (2:30 pm) Come for one or both events!

SUMMARY:New Poetry From Rob Halpern
DESCRIPTION:Rob Halpern will read from his new book of poetry Touching Voids in Sense which\n\n “enters regions of the self that existing regimes of sense\, visible\, tactile\, and verbal\n keep hidden. What’s at stake is love\, care and the human body\, an abyss at which\n\nloving care of another’s body is the most explosive of concerns. The requirement\n\nis radical critique of the logics of meaning. Touching holes in sense is a reflection\n on the deeper sources of Halpern’s previous books and an investigation of how\n\nan end to mourning requires nothing less than a different ontology of life and death.”\n\n– William Rowe   Rob Halpern’s books include Common Place (Ugly Duckling Presse\, 2015) and Music  for Porn (Nightboat Books\, 2012). His chapbook called Touching Voids in Sense was  just published by Veer Books in London. He lives between San Francisco and  Ypsilanti\, Michigan\, where he teaches at Eastern Michigan University and Huron  Valley Women’s Prison.
