Reflections: An Ordinary Day (April 3, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68062 68062-16988326@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 3, 2020 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

UMMA’s second exhibition of Inuit art derived from the Power Family’s generous promised gift to the Museum in 2018 explores the relationship between the artist and the representation of everyday experiences. Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints, drawings, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists, their communities, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.

This exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

Tyler Whitney (Germanic languages and literatures) and Tung-Hui Hu (English) discuss Tyler's new book, followed by Q & A.

About the book:
In this innovative study, Tyler Whitney demonstrates how a transformation and militarization of the civilian soundscape in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries left indelible traces on the literature that defined the period. Both formally and thematically, the modernist aesthetics of Franz Kafka, Robert Musil, Detlev von Liliencron, and Peter Altenberg drew on this blurring of martial and civilian soundscapes in traumatic and performative repetitions of war. At the same time, Richard Huelsenbeck assaulted audiences in Zurich with his “sound poems,” which combined references to World War I, colonialism, and violent encounters in urban spaces with nonsensical utterances and linguistic detritus—all accompanied by the relentless beating of a drum on the stage of the Cabaret Voltaire.

Eardrums is the first book-length study to explore the relationship between acoustical modernity and German modernism, charting a literary and cultural history written in and around the eardrum. The result is not only a new way of understanding the sonic impulses behind key literary texts from the period. It also outlines an entirely new approach to the study of literature as as the interaction of text and sonic practice, voice and noise, which will be of interest to scholars across literary studies, media theory, sound studies, and the history of science.

UMMA’s second exhibition of Inuit art derived from the Power Family’s generous promised gift to the Museum in 2018 explores the relationship between the artist and the representation of everyday experiences. Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints, drawings, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists, their communities, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.

This exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints, drawings, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists, their communities, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.

This exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Zell Visiting Writers Series

Kaveh Akbar's debut book of poetry, *Calling a Wolf a Wolf* (Alice James Books, 2017; Penguin UK, 2018), boldly confronts addiction and the path of recovery— traversing faith, the self, and the constant battle of alcoholism and sobriety.

Akbar is also the author of a chapbook, *Portrait of the Alcoholic* (Sibling Rivalry, 2017) and the recipient of the Levis Reading Prize, Pushcart Prize, Ruth Lilly and Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Poetry Fellowship, and Lucille Medwick Memorial Award from the Poetry Society of America. Born in Tehran, Iran, he teaches at Purdue University and in the low-residency MFA programs at Randolph College and Warren Wilson.

Kaveh founded Divedapper, a home for dialogues with the most vital voices in American poetry. With Sarah Kay and Claire Schwartz, he writes a weekly column for *the Paris Review* called "Poetry RX." Previously, he ran *The Quirk*, a for-charity print literary journal. He has also served as Poetry Editor for BOOTH and Book Reviews Editor for *the Southeast Review*. Along with Gabrielle Calvocoressi, francine j. harris, and Jonathan Farmer, he starred on *All Up in Your Ears*, a monthly poetry podcast. His poems appear in The New Yorker, Poetry, PBS NewsHour, The New Republic, Best American Poetry, The New York Times, and elsewhere. His next work, *Pilgrim Bell*, is forthcoming 2021 (Graywolf).


The Zell Visiting Writers Series brings outstanding writers to campus each semester. The Series is made possible through a generous gift from U-M alumna Helen Zell (BA ’64, LLDHon ’13). For more information, please visit the Zell Visiting Writers Program webpage: https://lsa.umich.edu/writers

Organized By: Zell Visiting Writers Series

In his *A Year With Swollen Appendices*, Brian Eno talks about experiencing the crack in a blue’s singer’s voice or the static of a grainy film as being “the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.” If we accept as American writers that our medium, the English language, is one of the deadliest colonial weapons ever invented, then its breaking becomes a political urgency. How do we undermine our language’s inherent corrosiveness, turn a violent technology against itself to speak to things—doubt, sex, identity, justice, rage—it would rather us leave unspoken? This craft lecture will look at writers—including Robert Hayden, Jean Valentine, M. NourbeSe Philip, and Jos Charles—who use revelatory breaks in idiom, form, and syntax to render with clarity what is too urgent, too momentous, for mere rhetorical speech. We will then apply those techniques to our own imaginings of what might be possible outside the inherited strictures of our inherently imperialist medium.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Zell Visiting Writers Series

Eduardo C. Corral’s latest book of poetry, *Guillotine* (Graywolf, 2020), gives voice and depth to undocumented immigrants, border patrol agents, and scorned lovers through dramatic portraits of contradiction, survival, and deeply human, relentless interiority.

Corral is also the author of *Slow Lightning*, which won the Yale Series of Younger Poets Competition. He’s the first Latinx poet to win this competition. Corral is the recipient of a Whiting Writers' Award, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, and the Hodder Fellowship and the National Holmes Poetry Prize, both from Princeton University. He teaches in the MFA program in Creative Writing at North Carolina State University.

Praised for his seamless blending of English and Spanish, tender treatment of history, and careful exploration of sexuality, Corral’s poems hurtle across literary and linguistic borders toward a lyricism that slows down experience. Guillotine, his second book, traverses desert landscapes cut through by migrants, the grief of loss, betrayal’s lingering scars, the border itself—great distances in which violence and yearning find roots. With extraordinary lyric imagination, these poems wonder about being unwanted or renounced. What do we do with unrequited love? Is it with or without it that we would waste away?

Frankel Institute Event Series: Stranger Still: Translating Contemporary Poetry from Israel/Palestine (October 22, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78188 78188-19989052@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 22, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Judaic Studies

This series showcases the diversity of poetic voices from Israel/Palestine through the lens of translation. Each event features a multilingual poetry reading and a conversation between poets and translators on the careful negotiations that are involved in the act of translation, highlighting work that creates its own currents against and beyond the Israeli mainstream.

Rita Kogan is a feminist poet and translator in Israel, producing original verse in Hebrew and translations from her native Russian. Born in Leningrad in 1976 and immigrating to Israel in 1990, Kogan explores the challenges that Russian-speaking women encounter in their daily life in Israel, including ethnic discrimination, sexual abuse, and the difficulty of expressing sexuality in a patriarchal society. In her poems, we also encounter a poet full of joie-de-vivre, one who revels in love and literature. She is the author of Rishayon li-shegiot ketiv (License to Misspell, 2015) and Sus bahatzait (Horse in a Skirt, 2018), a runner-up for the prestigious Gardner Simon Prize for Hebrew poetry, and translator of works by Anna Akhmatova, Marina Tsvetaeva, Osip Mandelstam, Joseph Brodsky, and others.

Alex Moshkin is a Fellow at the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. His book project, Russophone Culture in Israel: In Search of Identity, analyzes contemporary Russian literature, cinema, and visual art in Israel. He is also currently working on an English-language anthology of contemporary Russian-Israeli poetry.

Zackary Sholem Berger is a poet and translator in Baltimore working in and among English, Yiddish, and Hebrew, with occasional forays into other languages. His latest book is All the Holes Line Up (2019); a volume of his translations of the Yiddish prose poetry of Avrom Sutzkever is due out soon.

Shakespeare’s Poetry (October 23, 2020 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/75504 75504-19513171@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 23, 2020 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Many of us have encountered the plays of William Shakespeare, but fewer of us are as familiar with his poetry as we are with his dramatic canon. In this course, we will set aside the Bard’s stage productions to read and analyze Shakespeare’s lyric and narrative poetry. Over four weeks, we will work through a selection of The Sonnets in addition to The Phoenix and the Turtle, A Lover’s Complaint, Venus and Adonis, and Lucrece. No previous experience with poetry or Shakespearean language is required. The Oxford edition of “The Complete Sonnets and Poems” is the recommended edition. Instructor Margo Kolenda-Mason is a Ph.D. Candidate in the English Department at the University of Michigan. When she is not teaching, she researches medieval and early modern literature.

The study groups will be held on Fridays from October 23 through November 13. Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

Patricia Smith's latest book of poetry, *Incendiary Art* (Triquarterly Books, 2017), showcases her mastery of poetic forms— from her Motown crown of sonnets to elegant ghazals— and fearlessly engages with America’s continuous war on black bodies.

Smith is the award-winning author of eight critically-acclaimed books of poetry, including *Incendiary Art*, winner of the 2018 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award, the 2018 NAACP Image Award, and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize; *Shoulda Been Jimi Savannah* (Coffee House Press, 2012), winner of the Lenore Marshall Prize from the Academy of American Poets; Blood Dazzler (Coffee House Press, 2008), a National Book Award finalist; and *Gotta Go, Gotta Flow* (CityFiles Press, 2015), a collaboration with award-winning Chicago photographer Michael Abramson. Her other books include the poetry volumes *Teahouse of the Almighty* (Coffee House Press, 2006), *Close to Death* (Zoland Books, 1998), *Big Towns Big Talk* (Zoland Books, 2002), *Life According to Motown* (Tia Chucha, 1991); the children's book *Janna and the Kings* (Lee & Low, 2013), and the history *Africans in America* (Mariner, 1999), a companion book to the award-winning PBS series. Her work has appeared in *Poetry*, *The Paris Review*, *The Baffler*, *The Washington Post*, *The New York Times*, *Tin House* and in *Best American Poetry*, *Best American Essays* and *Best American Mystery Stories*. She co-edited *The Golden Shovel Anthology—New Poems Honoring Gwendolyn Brooks* (University of Arkansas Press, 2017), and edited the crime fiction anthology *Staten Island Noir* (Akashic Books, 2012).

Writing about *Incendiary Art*, *Publisher’s Weekly* praised Smith’s “razor-sharp linguistic sensibilities that give her scenes a cinematic flair and her lines a momentum that buoys their emotional weight.” Smith is a Guggenheim fellow, a Civitellian, a National Endowment for the Arts grant recipient, a finalist for the Neustadt Prize, a two-time winner of the Pushcart Prize, a former fellow at both Yaddo and the MacDowell Colony, and a four-time individual champion of the National Poetry Slam, the most successful poet in the competition’s history.

Smith is a professor at the College of Staten Island and in the MFA program at Sierra Nevada College, as well as an instructor at the annual VONA residency and in the Vermont College of Fine Arts Post-Graduate Residency Program.


The Zell Visiting Writers Series brings outstanding writers to campus each semester. The Series is made possible through a generous gift from U-M alumna Helen Zell (BA ’64, LLDHon ’13). For more information, please visit the Zell Visiting Writers Program webpage: https://lsa.umich.edu/writers

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Residential College

Join RC Creative Writing faculty Christopher Matthews and Avi Steinberg for a discussion and Q & A about how speculative fiction and the romance genre intersect with literary fiction. If writers such as Margaret Atwood and Octavia Butler have proven that genre writing can also be literature, how do the publishing industry and creative writing programs distinguish between commercial and literary markets? Our panelists will read from their own work and offer their perspective on what makes genre literary.

>> Avi Steinberg is the author of three books of narrative nonfiction published by Knopf Doubleday: Running the Books (2010), The Lost Book of Mormon (2014), and The Happily Ever After (2020). His books have been translated into five languages and cited as Best of the Year by the San Francisco Chronicle and the New Yorker, among others. He is currently at work on a biography of the writer and political activist, Grace Paley, which will be published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, and on a translation of the biblical story of David, which will be published by Norton/Liveright. In 2019, he was awarded a writing residency at Yaddo. He is a contributor to the New Yorker’s Culture Desk, and a regular features writer for the New York Times Magazine. His essays and reportage have also appeared in the Guardian magazine (‘The Long-Read’), Salon, the Paris Review, and n+1. He has been leading creative nonfiction workshops in the Residential College since 2018.

>> Christopher Matthews is a poet, fiction writer, and sometime scholar of nineteenth-century literature with an MFA from Warren Wilson College and a PhD from the University of Michigan. Raised in California and schooled in Michigan, he has taught at Kalamazoo College, Washington & Lee University in Virginia, and now the Residential College. His creative, scholarly, and teaching interests include lyrical and discursive poetry, storytelling and narrative theory, film, monsters, ghosts, studies in race/class/gender/sexuality, and more. Chris’ creative work has appeared widely in such journals as The Massachusetts Review, Indiana Review, Beloit Poetry Journal, and The Cortland Review, and has been recognized with three Pushcart nominations and two features in Ted Kooser’s syndicated "American Life in Poetry" project. His scholarship has appeared in Nineteenth-Century Studies and Victorian Studies, among others.

Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

Postwar literature in Central and Eastern Europe, particularly as it has been framed in Western Europe and North America, has been shaped by strong personalities whose exile from their respective homelands helped enshroud their critiques of authoritarianism in so-called “moral authority.” But in quitting the Soviet Union, Poland, or Czechoslovakia for new lives in countries like the United States and France, these writers often found themselves in the midst of sociopolitical upheavals whose terms they scarcely understood and to whose contexts their own struggles offered no clear analogy. This talk reevaluates the Western careers of four of the most prominent authors to whom such “moral authority” has been generally ascribed—Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Joseph Brodsky, Czesław Miłosz, and Milan Kundera—against the backdrop of the struggle for civil rights and racial justice in their adopted countries.

This year, we are inviting Kama La Mackerel​, a multiracial trans artist based in Montreal, QB. Their work is grounded in the exploration of justice, love, healing, decoloniality and self- and collective-empowerment. Kama’s artistic practice spans across textile, visual, poetic, digital, and performative work; their work is at once narratological and theoretical, at once personal and political. They will be highlighting their most recent work, ZOM-FAM.

December 1 marks World AIDS Day, as well as Day With(out) Art 2020, a yearly event presented by Visual AIDS marking the global impact of HIV/AIDS. Visual AIDS is a New York-based non-profit that utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue, supporting HIV+ artists, and preserving a legacy, because AIDS is not over. This year, Visual AIDS is presenting a series of short films titled TRANSMISSIONS, which will premiere on November 30 at 6pm EST as part of a special online screening event hosted by Visual AIDS. A live Q&A with the commissioned artists will follow the screening. Beginning December 1, the video program will be available to view online at visualaids.org/transmissions.

How does HIV/AIDS awareness and other public health issues affect various groups differently? How does the HIV/AIDS crisis continue internationally today or relate to other current public health issues? How has viewing the films in the TRANSMISSIONS series changed my personal view of HIV/AIDS? How do people reconcile with the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS diagnoses?
Your work can be in any artistic medium — painting, poetry, dance, collage, music, film, creative writing, sculpture, photography and more are all welcome. HOW TO SUBMIT:
Put your work together in an accessible digital file format — .pdf, .jpg, .png, .mov, .mp4, a website or Google Drive link.

Ezra Korman, Poet of My City (February 4, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81504 81504-20901747@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 4, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Comparative Literature

The author and anthologist Ezra Korman was born in Kiev and later adopted Detroit as his home, becoming the city's dean of Yiddish letters. Mikhl Yashinsky, born in Detroit a few decades later, has claimed an inheritance of thought and poetry in the author's life and work. At this event, Yashinsky shares that inheritance and performs Korman's Yiddish poetry in his own translation, inviting us to visit libraries and dusty synagogue vaults, guiding us through the author's possessions, his voice, his writing, his grave.

Mikhl Yashinsky has taught Yiddish at the University of Michigan, YIVO, and The Workers Circle, and is known to Yiddish theatrical audiences for his performances in Joel Grey's production of Fiddler on the Roof and the title role of The Sorceress.

UMMA’s collection includes a silkscreen by Paul Rand titled Joseph Addison Poser-Laughter. Let’s use a line from Addison—“Man is distinguished from all other creatures by the faculty of laughter”—as a runway, of sorts, for some poetic flights. Our description of the Rand silkscreen compares its central figure to Lewis Carroll’s Cheshire Cat. Let’s write and share a few poems in the tradition of Lewis Carroll.

We especially have Carroll’s “Mad Gardener’s Song” form in mind, an example of which goes like this: “He thought he saw an Argument / That proved he was the Pope: / He looked again, and found it was / A Bar of Mottled Soap. / ‘A fact so dread,’ he faintly said, / ‘Extinguishes all hope!’”

These poems are easy to write, and great fun to hear out loud.

 

Cody Walker directs the U-M English Department’s Undergraduate Creative Writing Program and co-directs the Bear River Writers’ Conference. He’s the author of three poetry collections, including The Self-Styled No-Child (Waywiser Press, 2016). His work appears in The New York Times Magazine, Slate, and The Best American Poetry.

Black History Month's Closing Speaker - JANAYA KHAN (March 1, 2021 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82365 82365-21070618@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 1, 2021 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Multi Ethnic Student Affairs - MESA

MESA is proud to present Black History Month's Closing Speaker - JANAYA KHAN. Join us for a thrilling event where Janaya Khan will discuss “The Future within the Black Lives Matter Movement and The Intersections of being a Black, Queer, and Gender-Nonconforming Activist" This event is sponsored by The Spectrum Center and Central Student Government, and will be co-moderated by students Adrian King (they/them), PhD candidate in American Culture, and Jolyna Chiangong, who will be joined by Vice President Of Student Life Dr. Martino Harmon.

With a timely message about the transformational power of protest, Janaya Khan is a leading activist who engages their community in a profound discussion about social justice and equality. Known as ‘Future’ within the Black Lives Matter movement, Janaya is a black, queer, gender-nonconforming activist (pronouns: they, them, theirs), staunch Afrofuturist and social-justice educator who presents an enlightening point of view on police brutality and systemic racism.

“Throughout the political tumult of 2020, one of the most prominent voices to become a source of healing and hope was Janaya Future Khan, whose rapidly-growing audience across social media now numbers in the hundreds of thousands. But while the activist’s weekly Sunday Sermons on Instagram provided a necessary forum for those looking to reflect and regroup during the pandemic and the instances of police brutality that sparked a renewal of energy behind the Black Lives Matter movement, Khan’s activism extends much further back—all the way to their childhood, spent between Toronto and Florida, and their subsequent years as a competitive boxer.

Galvanized by the 2014 killings of Michael Brown in Ferguson and Jermaine Carby in Toronto at the hands of police officers, Khan has had a longstanding involvement in Black Lives Matter—even launching its first international chapter in Canada—and became a necessary and informed voice for those seeking direction last summer. And like many around the world, Khan found themselves dismayed and angered by the scenes that unfolded on Wednesday at the U.S. Capitol building, where riots led by Trump supporters sieged the building to disrupt the final counting of the Electoral College ballots in favor of Joe Biden’s Presidential win, resulting in five deaths.” BY LIAM HESS January 10, 2021

The Residential College 2020-2021 Annual Robertson Lecture: "The News from Poetry: In An Era of False Facts and True Fallacies, What's to be Found in Art?" (March 3, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81245 81245-20877917@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 3, 2021 4:00pm

The Residential College 2020-2021 Robertson Memorial Lecture

Award-Winning Writer, Theodore Roethke Distinguished University Professor and RC Alumna, Laura Kasischke

"The News from Poetry: In an Era of False Facts and True Fallacies, What's to be Found in Art?”

March 3, 2021 via Zoom
4 - 5:30pm, with an online reception to follow
Register at https://myumi.ch/yKA8b

This talk will explore the ways in which art crosses borders and boundaries, both personal and global, erases political divisions to unite generations and cultures, to speak to all genders and races, to erase religious and economic divisions, while traveling eternally and generously (and for free!) from continent to continent, century to century, enduring through crises and chaos, disease and despair, to bring us the truths without which we will die.

Laura Kasischke is a graduate of the Residential College and is now proud to be an instructor of creative writing in it as well as in the English Department, where she is the Theodore Roethke Distinguished University Professor. She has published eleven collections of poetry, nine novels, a novella, and a collection of short stories. Her work has been translated into over a dozen languages, and three of her novels have been made into feature length films. The recipient of the National Book Critics Circle Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Rilke Award for Poetry, and numerous teaching awards, Kasischke’s twelfth collection of poetry, Lightning Falls in Love, will be published in September.

Presented by the Residential College, celebrating 50 years of the Creative Writing & Literature Program

The Robertson Memorial Lecture is an annual Residential College event made possible by a gift honoring Professor James H. Robertson and Jean B. Robertson, the first Dean of the Residential College and his wife.

This event is free and open to the public.
