SUMMARY:9th Ave: Sandra Lim\, Natalie Shapero and Noah Warren
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, October 5th at 6pm PT when Sandra Lim\, Natalie Shapero\, and Noah Warren join us for an evening celebrating their latest poetry collections at 9th Ave! \nMasks Required for In-Person Attendance \nJoin us virtually by registering at the link below \nZoom Registration \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/…/reg…/WN_vHSYhcpURdaNKQ_wr42E1g \nAbout The Curious Thing \nIn this gorgeous third collection\, Sandra Lim investigates desire\, sexuality\, and dream with sinewy intelligence and a startling freshness. \nTruthful\, sensuous\, and intellectually relentless\, the poems in The Curious Thing are compelling meditations on love\, art making\, solitude\, female fate\, and both the mundane and serious principles of life. Sandra Lim’s poetry displays stinging wit and a tough-minded approach to her own experiences: She speaks with Jean Rhys about beauty\, encounters the dark loneliness that can exist inside a relationship\, and discovers a coiled anger on a hot summer day. An extended poem sequence slyly revolves the meanings of finding oneself astray in midlife. A steely strength courses through the volume’s myriad discoveries—Lim’s lucidity and tenderness form a striking complement to her remarkable metaphors and the emotional clamor of her material. \nAnimated by a sense of reckoning and a piercing inwardness\, these anti-sentimental poems nevertheless celebrate the passionate and empathetic subjective life. \nAbout Popular Longing \nWith her sharp\, punchy\, sardonic wit\, Natalie Shapero’s Popular Longing explores sadnesses and subordinations in their myriad forms. \nThe poems of Natalie Shapero’s third collection\, Popular Longing\, highlight the ever-increasing absurdity of our contemporary life. With her sharp\, sardonic wit\, Shapero deftly captures human meekness in all its forms: our senseless wars\, our inflated egos\, our constant deference to presumed higher powers—be they romantic partners\, employers\, institutions\, or gods. “Why even / look up\, when all we’ll see is people / looking down?” In a world where everyone has to answer to someone\, it seems no one is equipped to disrupt the status quo\, and how the most urgent topics of conversation can only be approached through refraction. By scrutinizing the mundane and all that is taken for granted\, these poems arrive at much wider vistas\, commenting on human sadness\, memory\, and mortality. Punchy\, fearlessly ironic\, and wickedly funny\, Popular Longing articulates what it means to share a planet\, for better or more often for worse\, with other people. \nAbout The Complete Stories \nThe Complete Stories announces its desire and its lie in the title; this is a book of shatter and loss. In his second collection\, Noah Warren—previously selected by Carl Phillips for the Yale Series of Younger Poets—unravels histories both personal and public\, picking apart their ugliness\, beauty\, and irreducible singularity. Clothed in broken forms\, these poems of grieving and tentative joy ask finally how we can go forward with our own mottled pasts\, into the futures we can’t predict but for which we must bear responsibility.
