Open Lecture | The Lyric “I”: private and public narratives (September 14, 2018 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54824 54824-13645286@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 14, 2018 3:00pm
Location: Mason Hall
Organized By: LSA Honors Program

There are two versions of personal identity that often clash in the artistic process originating in oppression; they destabilize the voice of the “Lyric I". This lecture will raise several questions about the relationship between personal biography and the construction of a lyric speaker, and will explore the notion of a poetics that insists on healing the damage politics does on family; it will discuss what happens when private and public identities become conflated because of politics, and how poetry “acts” on the sense of family as a social microcosm where the battle between political self of the private sense of self takes place.

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: LSA Honors Program

Carmen Bugan discusses how political repression and escaping persecution have influenced her writing and her views on language. Her lecture looks at several consequences of politics on the artistic process and argues for the necessity of addressing the larger, timeless issues such as suffering, hope, and love, rather than adopting a partisan politics in one’s literary work. In portraying the effects of turbulent politics on individual lives, literature has a unique opportunity to ponder and celebrate our humanity. It can counteract the manipulative language of propaganda by drawing from the rich resources of a language that is able to sustain us through moments of political upheaval. Please use the "To Register" link below.

Biography:
Bugan was born in 1970 in Romania and has since lived in the US, Ireland, England, and France. She is the author of three collections of poems: Crossing the Carpathians (Oxford Poets/Carcanet), The House of Straw (Shearsman), and Releasing the Porcelain Birds (Shearsman); as well as the memoir Burying the Typewriter and the critical study Séamus Heaney and East European Poetry in Translation: Poetics of Exile. Bugan was educated at the University of Michigan and Oxford University, UK, where she obtained a doctorate in English literature. Her essays, reviews, and poems appear in publications such as PEN, the TLS, Modern Poetry in Translation, PN Review, Harvard Review, and the BBC Magazine. In 2017 Carmen was made a George Orwell Prize Fellow. She teaches at the Gotham Writers Workshop in NYC and lives in Long Island, NY.

From the Pan MacMillan Blog:
"Being an immigrant writer in American today" ~ "At 2 a.m. on 10 March 1983, Carmen Bugan's father left the family home, alone. That afternoon, Carmen returned from school to find secret police in her living room. Her father's protest against the regime had changed her life forever. This is her story."

"One of the most telling insights I've read about life under communism...warm and humane." ~Observer

Open Lecture | Writing in-between languages: poetry in a second language (September 25, 2018 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54814 54814-13645242@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 25, 2018 3:00pm
Location: Chemistry Dow Lab
Organized By: LSA Honors Program

When the native language becomes unstable, and writers are forced to abandon it, or when experience simply destroys the transaction of meaning or truth between a writer and her language, the notion of the “place of writing” itself becomes destabilized and abstracted. This lecture probes the poet's relationship with an adopted language, acknowledging losses and gains, and offers a glimpse into the experience of writing in-between languages, hovering at the borders between them.

David Cope: Player of Invisible Keys (October 1, 2018 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/55790 55790-13777562@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 1, 2018 8:30am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Celebrate the work of Michigan poet David Cope, once described by Allen Ginsberg as one of the "leading lights of the next generation." This exhibit draws on drafts, proofs, and other documents from Cope's archive to offer a glimpse into his poetic and editorial process.

Working most often in the Objectivist tradition of Charles Reznikoff, Carl Rakosi, and George Oppen, David Cope has a particular gift for descriptive detail and for juxtaposing the the intimacy of daily life with commentary on the arc of current events and the particularity of personal relationships with the universality of human experience. He received the Pushcart Prize for “The Crash” in 1977 and an award in literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters for On The Bridge (1986).

Open Lecture | Artistic distance and the language of oppression (October 2, 2018 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54817 54817-13645249@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 2, 2018 3:00pm
Location: Chemistry Dow Lab
Organized By: LSA Honors Program

Writing is an emotional process and it works when it makes us feel, both as writers and readers. Yet a certain emotional distance is necessary when one writes poetry with the language of oppression, especially when one has been the victim, and offers a historical testimony. What kind of liberties can one take with the material? What constitutes appropriate artistic utterance when one navigate the territories of poetry about the hard truths? Rescuing words from screams of pain and anger into poetic expression, which shows the effect of oppression on the inner landscape of feeling, is what poetry offers as an art.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

This course offers a brief introduction to the way poets have used rhythm and meter to express thought and feeling over the centuries. We’ll explore the connection between form and expression through the whole history of poetry in English, from Langland and Chaucer to Bishop and Heaney.

Readings will be drawn from a short anthology of favorite passages and poems the instructor will provide. Participants will read and hear examples of different verse forms: songs. sonnets, couplets, alliterative verse, blank verse, free verse, really free verse, and poems in unusual meters and stanzas. We will study how poetry works as narrative, as a vehicle for experience, and as self-expression.

Instructor James H. McIntosh is Professor Emeritus of English and American Culture at U-M. This study group for those 50 and over will meet Fridays, 10-12, from October 5 – November 16.

We will look at the development of their careers and at the different perspectives they offer on the importance of place and on how to be attentive to and live with the natural world.

This study group for those 50 and over will meet Wednesdays, 3-5, from October 17 – November 21. Instructor: John Knott

He received the Pushcart Prize for “The Crash” in 1977 and an award in literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters for On The Bridge (1986). Additionally, for more than forty years, Cope has edited and published a small press literary magazine, The Big Scream, providing a venue for more than 200 poets, including both big names names and younger, lesser-known poets. Earlier this year, Ghost Pony Press released Cope’s eighth poetry collection: The Invisible Keys: New and Selected Poems.

Bayan Founas is an educator and youth mentor in Detroit. She graduated from the university of Michigan in 2014 with a Women's Studies degree and will receive her Master's Degree in Educational Leadership and Policy from the University of Michigan in 2019. Passionate about making educational reforms in predominately poor communities of color, she created an art & poetry club for Detroit youth to creatively heal. Founas enjoys writing, reading, and performing spoken-word poetry.

In her first book, Founas outlines her life experiences and views through poetry. As the daughter of Algerian immigrants, she depicts the realities of growing up in America in the diaspora – leaving her between two foreign lands. She also provides a unique glimpse into the glories and traumas of educating black and brown youth in Detroit. This body of work is HER story as a first-generation Arab and Muslim woman growing up in America – a narrative that is rarely told from one’s own perspective.

"Jane Miller’s eleventh book, Who Is Trixie the Trasher? and Other Questions, is a hyper-political and brassy collection of poems that questions authority, sexism, ageism, and romance in the face of mortality. Differing from her earlier poems in their range and urgency, this collection retains Miller’s signature lyric voice, personal yet thrilling in its associative leaps. Her intimate language illuminates and soothes our current trauma―especially as experienced by women―where nightmarish reality must answer to human dignity."

Jane Miller will read from her newest book, speak about contemporary poetry, and answer questions.

Coffee and tea will be served.

Working most often in the Objectivist tradition of Charles Reznikoff, Carl Rakosi, and George Oppen, David Cope has a particular gift for descriptive detail and for juxtaposing the the intimacy of daily life with commentary on the arc of current events and the particularity of personal relationships with the universality of human experience. He received the Pushcart Prize for “The Crash” in 1977 and an award in literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters for On The Bridge (1986). Additionally, for more than forty years, Cope has edited and published a small press literary magazine, The Big Scream, providing a venue for more than 200 poets, including both big names names and younger, lesser-known poets. Earlier this year, Ghost Pony Press released Cope’s eighth poetry collection: The Invisible Keys: New and Selected Poems.

On view during Special Collections Research Center hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

MLK 2019: Unraveling Oedipus (January 21, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59725 59725-14780108@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 21, 2019 2:00pm

Organized By: History of Art

Unraveling Oedipus

Sophocles' play, the Oedipus Tyrannus, tells the story of Oedipus' discovery of his identity as the killer of his father and the husband of his mother. As a dramatization of this process of self-discovery, the play shows how an individual goes through a process of unravelling as he realizes that his assumptions about others are unfounded and becomes aware of who he really is as well as the harm that he has caused others.

This event will feature a dramatic reading of excerpts from the play performed by the Black and Brown Community Theater of Detroit. There will also be ample opportunity for discussion of the relation of the play to the theme of this year's MLK Day, namely unravelling our biases and identities in ways that allow us to create a more just and inclusive community. A reception will follow. All members of the university community and the general public are warmly invited to attend.

Players:
Breon Canady

Living Poetry / Braving Joy: Naomi Long Madgett + Gabrielle Civil (March 19, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59388 59388-14737056@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 19, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Hopwood Awards Program

Naomi Long Madgett and Gabrielle Civil will join us in the Hopwood Room for a public conversation about living a literary life: What does it mean to be a black woman / poet today? How has the role or impact of poetry changed? What’s most vital in a poet’s education? How can we rethink and reclaim publishing? How we can bridge the divides between different schools of poetry? How can we reconcile the ivory tower and the community center? What can poetry do in our communities? What good books are we reading (songs are we singing, art are we seeing)? What do we love? How can we brave joy?

About the presenters:

Mentored by poet Langston Hughes, Naomi Long Madgett moved to Detroit in 1946. In the 1960s, she joined a group of African American writers who met regularly at Boone House, including Margaret Danner, Dudley Randall and Oliver LaGrone. Madgett was named Detroit poet laureate in 2001. In her poetry, influenced by the work of Emily Dickinson, John Keats, and Langston Hughes, Madgett often engages themes of civil rights and African American spirituality. She is the author of numerous collections of poetry, including One and the Many (1956), Exits and Entrances (1978), and Octavia and Other Poems (1988, reissued and expanded in 2002). In 1972, Madgett founded Lotus Press. She edited the anthology Adam of Ifé: Black Women in Praise of Black Men (1992), and her own work was included in the anthologies The Poetry of the Negro, 1746–1949 (1949, edited by Langston Hughes) and Ten: Anthology of Detroit Poets (1968, edited by Oliver LaGrone). A selection of her papers, documenting her poetry career and the history of Lotus Press, is held by the University of Michigan’s Special Collections Library.

Gabrielle Civil is a black feminist performance artist, originally from Detroit, MI. She has premiered fifty original solo and collaborative performance works around the world. Signature themes included race, body, art, politics, grief, and desire. Since 2014, she has been performing “Say My Name” (an action for 270 abducted Nigerian girls)” as an act of embodied remembering. She is the author of Swallow the Fish and Tourist Art (with Vladimir Cybil Charlier). She currently teaches Creative Writing and Critical Studies at the California Institute of the Arts. The aim of her work is to open up space.Experiments in Joy is forthcoming from CCM Press.

Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Latina/o Studies

Tuesday, March 26, 2019

-Arts Workshop (limited capacity): 4:00-5:30pm, American Culture, 3512 Haven Hall
-Artist Talk and Poetry Performance: 6:00-7:00pm. Angell Hall Auditorium D
-Reception: 7:30pm, 3512 Haven Hall. Food will be served.

The Latina/o Studies Program, the Department of American Culture, the Center for Educational Outreach and La Casa invite you to celebrate Chicano labor leader César Chávez’s enduring legacy and the richness of Latinx culture at the University of Michigan. Please join us for a very special arts workshop with visiting artists Jeff Abbey Maldonado and Dulce Santoyo, to be followed by an artist talk featuring Jeff Maldonado and including a Flor y Canto Nahuat Xochitl in Cuitcatl Flower and Song Celebration with local and student poets. Our evening will culminate with a reception in 3512 Haven Hall to celebrate the University Housing donation of Maldonado’s 1998 César Chávez mural to Latina/o Studies and American Culture.

Jeff Abbey Maldonado lives and works in Pilsen, Chicago. He has maintained his studio for the past 20 years. He studied under Mario Castillo, professor at Columbia College, who is credited with painting the first Latino mural in Chicago. Maldonado’s work has been shown nationally and internationally, including at the National Museum of Mexican Art, Chicago Cultural Center, The Field Museum, and the Chicago History Museum. Currently, he is Founder and Director of the J-Def Peace Project, which promotes youth empowerment through the arts. Dulce Santoyo is an emerging Latina artist working in Chicago.

The Chávez mural was donated to American Culture in summer 2018 thanks to the student activism of La Casa. It previously was held by University Housing—a unit of Student Life—and was displayed in the César Chávez Lounge at the Mosher-Jordan “Mo-Jo” Student Residence Hall in the Hill Neighborhood on Observatory, home to the Michigan Research Community and the Women in Science and Engineering Residence Program. The mural is an interpretation of the activism of César Chávez, born of Mexican heritage in Yuma, Arizona in 1927. Chávez founded and led the National Farm Worker's Association (NFWA), the first successful farm workers union, later known as United Farm Workers (UFW).

Events are free and open to the public.

Omar Offendum Residency. Work in Progress Showing: Little Syria (March 30, 2019 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62632 62632-15414528@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, March 30, 2019 8:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Global Islamic Studies Center

Omar Offendum’s residency culminates with a work-in-progress performance. Set amidst the backdrop of the fabled Little Syria neighborhood in NYC (1880-1940), this unique performance project bridges hip-hop & live Arabic instrumentation with the time-honored “Hakawati” storytelling traditions of the Levant. Offendum (Syria via LA) is joined by oud virtuoso Ronnie Malley (Palestine via Chicago) and DJ/beatmaker Thanks Joey (Syria via Brooklyn), to uncover what life in the heart of Arab-America was like over a century ago, while informing much of what is happening today in terms of immigration, xenophobia, Syria, and the ever-evolving notion of an “American dream.”

This event is free but registration is required, please register on the UMS website here: https://ums.org/performance/omar-offendum-residency-work-in-progress-little-syria/

From the First Baptist Website: "we joyfully welcome and affirm individuals of any age, race, ethnicity, nationality, physical and mental ability, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, marital status, level of education, economic circumstance, and religious background to participate fully in all aspects of the life and ministry of our church."

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

An expeditious survey of Whitman’s career as a poet. We’ll observe the daring effervescence of Song of Myself, the stateliness of Crossing Brooklyn Ferry, the poetic daring of The Sleepers and Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking, the Calamus love poems, the Civil War poems, and later efforts by the “good grey poet.” Though Professor Emeritus McIntosh thinks of Whitman as a great poet, he’s also aware of his blatant nationalism and other shortcomings. Readings will be from the 1855 Leaves of Grass and another, more complete edition. This Study Group led by Jim McIntosh is for those 50 and over and will meet Mondays, 1:00 -3:00 p.m., April 1 - April 29.

Our day will consist of a morning panel featuring:

-Aaron Suganuma, Executive Director of A Brighter Way
-Ashley Lucas, Associate Professor of Theatre & Drama and the Residential College, and Director of The Prison Creative Arts Project

After lunch, we will have breakout sessions with panelists in which attendees can continue discussions raised in the morning panel and share their own questions about navigating the ethics of their particular projects.

Poet, musician, and artist Cozine Welch will share his work before our morning panel! Breakfast and lunch will be served. Please RSVP to help us better prepare for the event.
