SUMMARY:Changing Academia Forever: Black Student Leaders Analyze the Movement They Led
DESCRIPTION:The most effective and long-lasting student strike in U.S. history took place at San Francisco State College in 1968. The first Black Student Union\, the first Black Studies Department\, the only College of Ethnic Studies\, and the admission of thousands of students of color resulted from this four-and-a-half-month strike which shut down 80% of the campus. It has been called the movement which “changed academia forever.” \nJoin Kitty Kelly Epstein and Bernard Stringer\, co-authors of Changing Academia Forever: Black Student Leaders Analyze the Movement They Led (Myers Education Press\, 2020)\, in a virtual Meet the Authors program to learn about the historic strike and its insights for today’s mass movements. \nThis event is being co-sponsored by the African American Museum & Library at Oakland and Holy Names University.

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Carl Phillips and Kimberly Reyes
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, September 17th at 6pm PDT when Carl Phillips discusses his latest poetry collection\, Pale Colors in a Tall Field\, with Kimberly Reyes on Zoom.\n\nZoom Login Info \nPlease click the link to join the webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83365473355 \nWebinar ID: 833 6547 3355 \nAbout Pale Colors in a Tall Field \nA powerful\, inventive collection from one of America’s most critically admired poets. \nCarl Phillips’s new poetry collection\, Pale Colors in a Tall Field\, is a meditation on the intimacies of thought and body as forms of resistance. The poems are both timeless and timely\, asking how we can ever truly know ourselves in the face of our own remembering and inevitable forgetting. Here\, the poems metaphorically argue that memory is made up of various colors\, with those most prominent moments in a life seeming more vivid\, though the paler colors are never truly forgotten. The poems in Pale Colors in a Tall Field approach their points of view kaleidoscopically\, enacting the self’s multiplicity and the difficult shifts required as our lives\, in turn\, shift. This is one of Phillips’s most tender\, dynamic\, and startling books yet. \nAbout the Author \nCarl Phillips teaches at Washington University in St. Louis. His recent books include Wild Is the Wind and the prose collection The Art of Daring: Risk\, Restlessness\, Imagination.

SUMMARY:Poetry Center Book Award Reading: Ashley Toliver and Jason Bayani\, reading and in conversation
DESCRIPTION:Register to attend \nJoin us for this reading by Poetry Center Book Award winner Ashley Toliver\, for her book Spectra (Coffee House Press). She’ll be joined by award judge Jason Bayani\, reading his own work\, with the two poets in conversation with one another and the audience. With emcee\, Brent Awa Jensen. \nThis remote access event takes place promptly at 7:00 pm Pacific Time\, and is free and open to the public. Real-Time Captioning will be provided here. For any other accommodation requests\, please contact poetry@sfsu.edu. \nSupported by the National Endowment for the Arts. Co-sponsored by The Poetry Center\, Omnidawn Publishing\, and Coffee House Press. \n\nAshley Toliver’s Spectra is an immensely moving work. Its three-act structure entrenches within the violent friction between nature and manmade forms and between nature and the human body. Under Toliver’s carefully measured pen\, this movement through violence brought to mind for me\, persistence: the persistence to withstand the structures of domesticity (and all those structures domesticity is nestled under); the persistence to withstand an attack from within the body as that same body is bearing a new life. It is Toliver’s persistence that tempers and\, at times\, wields the flame of this violence\, it is this persistence that seeks to create from absence\, and from the first page to the last it absolutely mesmerizes me. In the poem “Standing Outside Your House with a Match and a Gallon of Gasoline”\, Toliver writes “I still don’t know what kind of woman/ I am. But as the flame nears the fingers/ that trust the match\, as close as the skin/ can stand it to singe\, I call this the nerve/ to find out—”. As taken as I am by the journey within the book\, I am also moved by the vision the book creates\, a vision of a woman holding both the fire of life and death in her hands\, that searches within it all with a keen strength and wonder. And how gorgeous and powerful of a vision Ashley Toliver makes\, what this vision\, when we acknowledge it from a Black woman’s lens\, means within the context of this time; what it pulls back from erasure; what it invokes and empowers. I am deeply in awe of this book— this book that is constantly seeking\, that seeks to reclaim and repossess\, that knows this is worthy of our persistence\, at least until death\, which\, as Toliver writes\, is “the last road to awe I know.”—Jason Bayani\n\nAshley Toliver is the author of Spectra (Coffee House Press\, 2018)\, which in addition to being awarded The Poetry Center Book Award\, was a finalist for the 2018 Believer Book Award\, 2020 Kate Tufts Discovery Award\, and the Oregon Book Award. She teaches poetry at the The Attic Institute in southeast Portland and serves as poetry editor at Moss. A Journal of the Pacific Northwest. Her work has been supported by fellowships from the Cave Canem Foundation\, Oregon Literary Arts\, and the Academy of American Poets. She received her MFA from Brown University in 2013. \nJason Bayani is the author of Locus (Omnidawn Publishing\, 2019) and Amulet (Write Bloody Publishing\, 2013). He’s an MFA graduate from Saint Mary’s College\, a Kundiman fellow\, and works as the artistic director for Kearny Street Workshop\, the oldest multi-disciplinary Asian Pacific American arts organization in the country. His publishing credits include World Literature Today\, Muzzle Magazine\, Lantern Review\, and other publications. Jason performs regularly around the country and debuted his solo theater show “Locus of Control” in 2016 with theatrical runs in San Francisco\, New York\, and Austin. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecipients of the Poetry Center Book Award\, 1980–present \nFeatured: \n  \n\n\n\n\nEvent contact:\n\nThe Poetry Center\n\n\n\nEvent email:\n\npoetry@sfsu.du\n\n\n\nEvent sponsor:\n\nThe Poetry Center\n\n\n\nRegister to Attend:\n\n\nhttps://sfsu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Vkk_2FCGR_2MnME4SCTseA
