SUMMARY:Dobby Gibson & Matthew Zapruder reading new poetry
DESCRIPTION:celebrating the release of \nFather’s Day – by Matthew Zapruder \nfrom Copper Canyon Press \nand \nLittle Glass Planet – by Dobby Gibson \nfrom Graywolf Press \nabout Father’s Day: \nThe poems in Matthew Zapruder’s fifth collection ask\, how can one be a good father\, partner\, and citizen in the early twenty-first century? Zapruder deftly improvises upon language and lyricism as he passionately engages with these questions during turbulent\, uncertain times. Whether interrogating the personalities of the Supreme Court\, watching a child grow off into a distance\, or tweaking poetry critics and hipsters alike\, Zapruder maintains a deeply generous sense of humor alongside a rich vein of love and moral urgency. The poems in Father’s Day harbor a radical belief in the power of wonder and awe to sustain the human project while guiding it forward. \nabout Little Glass Planet: \nLittle Glass Planet exults in the strangeness of the known and unknowable world. In poems set as far afield as Mumbai and Marfa\, Texas\, Gibson maps disparate landscapes\, both terrestrial and subliminal\, to reveal the drama of the quotidian. Aphoristic\, allusive\, and collaged\, these poems mine our various human languages to help us understand what we might mean when we speak to each other—as lovers\, as family\, as strangers. Little Glass Planet uses lyric broadcast to foreshorten the perceived distances between us\, opening borders and pointing toward a sense of collectivity. “This is my love letter to the world\,” Gibson writes\, “someone call us a sitter. / We’re going to be here a while.” \nElegiac\, funny\, and candid\, Little Glass Planet is a kind of manual for paying attention to a world that is increasingly engineered to distract us from our own humanity. It’s a book that points toward hope\, offering the possibilities of a “we” that only the open frequency of poetry can create\, possibilities that are indistinguishable from love. \nMatthew Zapruder is the author of four collections of poetry\, most recently Come On All You Ghosts\, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year\, and Sun Bear\, 2014\, as well as Why Poetry\, a book of prose\, from Ecco Press/Harper Collins in August 2017. He cotranslated\, with historian Radu Ioanid\, Romanian poet Eugen Jebeleanu’s final collection\, Secret Weapon: Selected Late Poems (Coffee House\, 2008). He has received numerous honors for his work\, including a Guggenheim Fellowship\, a William Carlos Williams Award\, and others. In 2000\, he co-founded Verse Press\, and is now editor at large at Wave Book\, where he edits contemporary poetry\, prose\, and translations. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area\, where he is an Associate Professor at Saint Mary’s College of California. \nDobby Gibson is the author of Little Glass Planet; Polar\, which won the Alice James Award; Skirmish; and It Becomes You. His poetry has appeared in Fence\, New England Review\, and Ploughshares\, among others. He lives in St. Paul.

SUMMARY:Sharon Marcus and David Henkin
DESCRIPTION:Sharon Marcus discusses her new book\, The Drama of Celebrity\, with David Henkin. \nAbout The Drama of Celebrity \nA bold new account of how celebrity works \nWhy do so many people care so much about celebrities? Who decides who gets to be a star? What are the privileges and pleasures of fandom? Do celebrities ever deserve the outsized attention they receive? \nIn this fascinating and deeply researched book\, Sharon Marcus challenges everything you thought you knew about our obsession with fame. Icons are not merely famous for being famous; the media alone cannot make or break stars; fans are not simply passive dupes. Instead\, journalists\, the public\, and celebrities themselves all compete\, passionately and expertly\, to shape the stories we tell about celebrities and fans. The result: a high-stakes drama as endless as it is unpredictable. \nDrawing on scrapbooks\, personal diaries\, and vintage fan mail\, Marcus traces celebrity culture back to its nineteenth-century roots\, when people the world over found themselves captivated by celebrity chefs\, bad-boy poets\, and actors such as the “divine” Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923)\, as famous in her day as the Beatles in theirs. Known in her youth for sleeping in a coffin\, hailed in maturity as a woman of genius\, Bernhardt became a global superstar thanks to savvy engagement with her era’s most innovative media and technologies: the popular press\, commercial photography\, and speedy new forms of travel. \nWhether you love celebrity culture or hate it\, The Drama of Celebrity will change how you think about one of the most important phenomena of modern times. \n
