SUMMARY:Peter Kline and Susan Steinberg
DESCRIPTION:Peter Kline discusses his new poetry collection Mirrorforms with Susan Steinberg. \nPraise for Mirrorforms \nIn Mirrorforms\, Peter Kline has invented and perfected a new poetic form; in and through its strict and tricky confines\, he takes the reader on remarkably diverse journeys. From a sexy Godhunger out of Donne (“Is there a place for me / deep in a secret pocket / of your black leather jacket / to pass eternity?”) to wordplay worthy of Stevens (“Whatever // ––whiffles your whirligig / ––pips you ––pops your Bud/  ––puts pepper in your pud…”). From dramatic Monologues (Shapeshifter\, Narcissist\, Catcaller) through various Studies\, to a beautiful and moving series of elegiac Votives\, these mirrors reflect — and reflect upon— loneliness and estrangement; vulnerability and kink: a wide spectrum of the shadings of our emotions. One of the speakers tells us\, “I’ve been a courtesan / to an immense Amen.” Amen to that\, and to seeing\, someday soon\, Kline’s funhousing “Mirrorform” take its rightful place in the Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry & Poetics. -Moira Egan \nWith laser focus and a fixed stare\, Peter Kline’s Mirrorforms shows us how brevity can reflect an expansive emotional spectrum\, marrying wit and pathos in the most unexpected ways. Risky and formally inventive\, playful yet rigorous\, these poems work like mirrors facing one another; they give a sense of the infinite—the endless joys\, losses\, and mysteries that make our world.-Bruce Snider \nAbout Mirrorforms \nPeter Kline’s Mirrorforms is a daring\, experimental collection of poems in which language reaches its most pressurized state. Kline has invented a new poetic form\, the mirrorform\, which he uses with musical verve to essentialize thought and intensify feeling.  The result is that these poems achieve jewel-like precision: each darkly glinting facet reveals the nuances and ambiguities of longing\, transgression\, and faith. These poems are sharply ironic\, darkly funny\, and ferocious\, and mark out a unique place in contemporary American poetry.

SUMMARY:Dan Pfeiffer
DESCRIPTION:I’m incredibly grateful to be able to be part of something that I think makes a small bit of difference in helping people cope with this time and most importantly\, to think about ways to take action to ensure we don’t live in this time for that long. \n—Dan Pfeiffer\, Delaware News Journal \n\nSpeakers Series\n\nDan Pfeiffer\n\n\nDan Pfeiffer combines wry wit\, spot-on political instincts\, and formidable storytelling chops in an optimistic exploration of how politics and digital media interact in modern-day America. The former White House communications director\, noted political strategist and commentator\, and Pod Save America co-host is credited with breaking new ground in harnessing the power of social media during the Obama presidential campaign and subsequent administration. He is the author of the New York Times #1 best-seller Yes We (Still) Can: Politics in the Age of Obama\, Twitter and Trump—a colorful account of how politics\, the media\, and the internet changed during the Obama presidency alongside the evolution of social media. Far from a jaded insider\, Pfeiffer infuses his talks with optimism for America’s political system\, and stresses the value and impact of civic engagement. \nCal Performances’ Speaker Series is a season-long series of presentations by some of the leading creative and intellectual voices of our time—thinkers\, activists\, strategists\, satirists\, journalists\, and pioneers at the leading edge of culture and politics.
