SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Creativity\, Consciousness and Cognition: Arts-based Integral Distinctions
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores distinctions and relationships between consciousness and cognition through the lens of an emergent worldview called Integral Theory (IT)\, with insights from artistic creativity guiding the inquiry. Drawing widely from disciplines across the sciences and humanities as well as age-old spiritual wisdom\, IT posits a remarkably expansive vision of human nature and developmental potential—at the core of which is consciousness development. From an IT vantage point\, cognition has to do with the activity of the mind\, Put another way\, cognition is to consciousness as the wave is to the ocean. Artistic creativity\, particularly as it manifests in improvised music\, can be seen as a bridge between the two realms and helps illuminate them as part of an overarching wholeness of subjective experience. The arts-consciousness relationship also helps us move past conventional boundaries and labels when it comes to academic disciplines\, with longstanding tensions between science and spirituality/mysticism a common\, and unnecessary\, casualty of such boundaries.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ilya Kaminsky Reading & Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:Ilya Kaminsky’s widely acclaimed parable in poems\, Deaf Republic (Graywolf\, 2019)\, reads like a two-act political drama in which lyric poems trace the experiences of citizens living under martial law. A New Yorker review called it a work of “profound imagination.” Poems from Deaf Republic were awarded Poetry magazine's Levinson Prize and the Pushcart Prize.  \n\nKaminsky is also the author of Dancing In Odessa (Tupelo Press\, 2004)\, and Musica Humana (Chapiteau Press\, 2002). Kaminsky has won the Whiting Writer's Award\, the American Academy of Arts and Letters' Metcalf Award\, the Dorset Prize\, a Ruth Lilly Fellowship\, and the Foreword Magazine’s Best Poetry Book of the Year award. Recently\, he was on the short-list for the Neusdadt International Literature Prize. His poems have been translated into numerous languages and his books have been published in many countries including Turkey\, Holland\, Russia\, France\, Mexico\, Macedonia\, Romania\, Spain and China\, where his poetry was awarded the Yinchuan International Poetry Prize. His poems have been compared to work by Anna Akhmatova\, Osip Mandelstam\, and Marina Tsvetaeva.\n\nHe is the editor of several anthologies\, among them The Ecco Anthology of International Poetry (Ecco\, 2010)\, co-edited with Susan Harris\, which John Ashbery praised as “immediately indispensable\;” A God in the House: Poets Talk About Faith (Tupelo Press\, 2012)\, co-edited with Katherine Towler\;  Gossip and Metaphysics: Russian Modernist Poets and Prose (Tupelo Press\, 2014)\, co-edited with Katie Farris and Valzhyna Mort\; and In the Shape of the Human Body I am Visiting the Earth: Poems from Far and Wide (McSweeney's\, 2017) with Dominic Luxford and Jesse Nathan.
