SUMMARY:Raphael Cohen + Jonathan Moody
DESCRIPTION:Raphael Cohen is a writer-performer committed to poetry for social change. His debut book of poems is Scrutinizing Lines(2007). His new chapbook\, Rebel Elegant\, is a single long poem on Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf\, a rising star for the Denver Nuggets basketball team\, who was suspended by the NBA when he refused to stand for the national anthem\, citing his Muslim conscience and the U.S.’s history of racial and economic oppression. Cohen has performed widely across the U.S. and in Canada\, taught\, facilitated training at various youth empowerment groups and founded and directed Play at the Margins Press\, an independent publishing and event production initiative. \nJonathan Moody’s new book of poems\, winner of the 2014 Cave Canem Northwestern University Press Poetry Prize\, is Olympic Butter Gold; Pleiades says\, “Jonathan Moody’s second full-length collection of poems…overflows with music\, image\, and pop culture.

SUMMARY:Sasaki\, Share\, Banias\, + Zamora
DESCRIPTION:Present Who Reads Poetry: 50 Views from “Poetry” Magazine. \nBuy a book to reserve your seat! Call the store 510.704.8222. \nWho reads poetry? We know that poets do\, but what about the rest of us? When and why do we turn to verse? Seeking the answer\, Poetry Magazine since 2005 has published a column called “The View From Here\,” which has invited readers “from outside the world of poetry” to describe what has drawn them to poetry. Over the years\, the incredibly diverse set of contributors have included philosophers\, journalists\, musicians\, and artists\, as well as doctors and soldiers\, an iron-worker\, an anthropologist\, and an economist. This collection brings together fifty compelling pieces\, which are in turns surprising\, provocative\, touching\, and funny. \nWho Reads Poetry offers a truly unique and broad selection of perspectives and reflections\, proving that poetry can be read by everyone. No matter what you’re seeking\, you can find it within the lines of a poem. \nFred Sasaki edits Poetry magazine’s prose feature “The View from Here\,” from which the essays in this book are gathered. He is the art director of Poetry magazine and a gallery curator at the Poetry Foundation. He authored Real Life Emails\, a book of deluded emails\, and the zine series FRED SASAKI’S AND FRED SASAKI’S FOUR-PAGER GUIDE TO: HOW TO FIX YOU. In 2004 he founded Chicago Printers Ball\, an annual celebration of poetry and printmaking. He is also cofounder of the Homeroom 101 pop and subculture show. \nDon Share is the editor of Poetry magazine. Among his twelve books are Wishbone\, Union\, and Bunting’s Persia; he also edited a critical edition of Basil Bunting’s poems\, named a Book of the Year by the Times of London and the New Statesman. Miguel Hernández\, his book of translations\, was awarded the Times Literary Supplement Translation Prize and Premio Valle Inclán. Other books of his include Seneca in English\, Squandermania\, and The Open Door: 100 Poems\, 100 Years of “Poetry” Magazine. Share received a VIDA “VIDO” Award for his contributions to American literature and literary community. \nAri Banias is the author of Anybody\, a debut collection of poetry\, published by W.W. Norton in 2016. He is the recipient of the 2014 Cecil Hemley Memorial Award from the Poetry Society of America and the 2012 Campbell Corner Prize. He has been awarded fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts\, the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown\, the Wisconsin Institute for Creative Writing\, and Stanford University’s Wallace Stegner program. Banias lives in Berkeley. \nJavier Zamora was born in El Salvador in 1990 and immigrated to the United States at the age of nine. His first poetry collection Unaccompanied\, was published in 2017 by Copper Canyon Press. Zamora is a 2016-2018 Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford University and is a 2016 Ruth Lilly/Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Poetry Fellow. He holds fellowships from CantoMundo\, MacDowell\, Macondo\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and Yaddo.

SUMMARY:Brittany Perham + Randall Mann
DESCRIPTION:Brittany Perham and Randall Mann discuss their new poetry collections with Susan Steinberg. \n\nPraise for Double Portrait \n“Double Portrait\, by turns playful\, mournful\, indulgent\, musical\, insightful\, and all the way human\, comes clean about our most driving desires. . . . Imaginative and familiar\, the result is full of humor that is both rueful and sensual.” Claudia Rankine \n“This unswerving ambitious work brings the reader on a wild and thrilling journey. The poems lead into a world where desire\, the body\, memory and invention are looked at in the bright light of language: nothing forgiven\, everything laid bare. . . . This is a wonderful\, compelling book with the qualities of the best writing\, both memorable and moving.” Eavan Boland \n“If you took the superabundant abandon of Olena Kalytiak Davis and crossed its wires with the graven psychological acuity of Louise Glück\, you might get a poet like Brittany Perham. Double Portrait is full of bracing poetry\, and arrives from deep inside the soulful solid. There may be a few other books as good as this published this year. There won’t be any better.” David Rivard \n\nAbout Double Portrait \n\nEach poem in this prize-winning collection links two portraits: child and parent\, lover and beloved\, citizen and country\, spirit and body\, living and dead. Each speaker investigates what it means to be in relationship to another: what does it mean to see and be seen\, to reflect and be reflected\, to address and be addressed? \n  \nAbout Proprietary \nIn Proprietary\, Randall Mann critiques corporate culture\, depicting (and slyly rebuking) the American materialism that erupted in the 1980s and has metastasized ever since. “Please consider / Ocean Beach / out of reach\,” he writes; in these poems\, nothing is beyond the reach of his acuity. \n  \nFor years\, Randall Mann has been hailed as one of contemporary American poetry’s most daring formalists\, expertly using craft as a way of exploring racy subjects with trenchant wit and aplomb. His new collection\, Proprietary\, depicts with the insights of a longtime insider the culture of corporate America\, in which he’s worked for years\, intertwined with some of his tried-and-true subjects\, including gay life in the wildly disparate worlds of San Francisco and northern Florida.
