SUMMARY:Kimberly Reyes: Running to Stand Still
DESCRIPTION:Kimberly Reyes reads from her new book\, Running to Stand Still. Also featuring readings from Jennifer Lewis\, Truong Tran\, and Kar Johnson. \nPraise for Running to Stand Still \n“Rich in literary and pop culture references\, the voice of Running to Stand Still is both specific and wide-ranging. Quotations from artists as disparate as Frank Bidart and The Killers splice and introduce poems. In one section\, Reyes repurposes screenshots of text messages; in another\, partial strikethroughs enable multiple readings. Through this juxtaposing of different forms and language\, Reyes weaves a deeply intimate portrait out of impossibly expansive themes: modern life\, Black womanhood\, family history\, and technology.”— Poets & Writers \n“These poems\, with through lines of gender\, race\, adventure\, desire\, build into a deeply moving provocation of loss and discovery. The brilliance of these poems is their achievement of discomfit as they simultaneously travel distance and move inward. . . . The title of this collection is a promise: how poetry can at once run and stand still\, and why that matters.”— Valerie Wallace\, author of House of McQueen \n“Pinballing between family lore\, social media\, and pop culture discourse\, Reyes deconstructs the casual discourses of contempt her narrators are invited to embrace outside and within blood lines\, however much ‘birthright belonging / is the maim.’ And yet\, betrayed by the human desire to belong (‘To be kept is to / be kept\, and what you wanted’)\, they—she—never quite reach escape velocity: Running to Stand Still is thus the poignant record of an orbit\, both victory and impasse.”— Tyrone Williams\, author of As iZ \nAbout Running to Stand Still \nHistories\, stories\, lyrics\, aspirations\, dreams\, pressures\, and images are spun into a musical tale through a site of convergence: the Black female body. Swarmed by external gazes and narratives\, the inhabitant of this body uses her power to turn down this cacophony of noise and compose a symphonic space for herself. By breaching boundaries of racism\, sexism\, sizeism\, colorism\, and colonialism\, these poems investigate the memories and realities of existing as Black in America. Building from poetic\, journalistic\, and musical histories\, poet and essayist Kimberly Reyes constructs a complex and fantastic narrative in which she negotiates a path to claim her own power.\nThese poems teem with life\, a life rich with many selves and many histories that populate in the voice of Reyes’s poetic narrator. They sway between negotiations of hypervisibility and erasure\, the inevitable and the chosen\, and the perceived and the constructed. Reyes’s poems offer sharp observations and lyrical movement to guide us in a ballad of reconciliation and becoming. \nAbout the Authors \nKimberly Reyes is an award-winning poet\, essayist\, and second-generation New Yorker whose work has appeared in The Atlantic\, The Associated Press\, Entertainment Weekly\, Time.com\, The New York Post\, The Village Voice\, Alternative Press\, ESPN the Magazine\, Jane\, NY1 News\, The Best American Poetry blog\, poets.org\, American Poets Magazine\, The Feminist Wire\, Film Ireland and Columbia Journal\, among other places. She is the author of the poetry collections Running to Stand Still (Omnidawn\, 2019) and Warning Coloration (dancing girl press\, 2018)\, and her nonfiction book of essays Life During Wartime (Fourteen Hills\, 2019) won the 2018 Micheal Rubin Book Award.
