SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Poetic Confluence: Marilyn Hacker and Karthika Naïr in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Join Marilyn Hacker\, one of the most celebrated figures in American poetry\, and Karthika Naïr\, known for her dynamic work at the borders of dance\, poetry\, and the visual arts\, as they discuss the many migrations of the poetic voice. When confinement forced artists into their homes\, Hacker and Naïr adopted an ancient poetic technique\, the renga\, in order to co-author A Different Distance: a poetic exploration of distance\, written at a distance\, as a way of understanding and overcoming it. Hacker\, an award-winning translator of French into English\, and Nair\, known for adapting narrative into dance performance\, are masters of movement. They will consider the poetic act as that of bridging distance between disparate and linked images\, sounds\, languages\, cultures\, and forms. [/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][vc_column_text]Learn more: \nA renga is a special kind of poem that’s created by multiple poets working together. It’s like a poetic conversation where each poet adds lines to build a poem that flows from one part to another. Read excerpts of Hacker and Naïr’s renga\, A Different Distance.  \nMarilyn Hacker won the National Book Award for her first book\, Presentation Piece. She is known for writing about identity\, womanhood\, sexuality\, illness\, power\, and social issues such as the AIDS crisis. A.M Juster has claimed that “there is no poet writing in English with a better claim for the Nobel Prize in Literature than Marilyn Hacker. Discover her incredible career.  \nNaïr works with choreographers to script dances\, taking into consideration the different ways environment\, soundscape\, and movement can combine to tell a story. See examples of this: a performance of her book Until the Lions\, and a queer reimagining of Madame Butterfly.  \nAbout the speakers:  \nMarilyn Hacker is the author of nineteen books of poems\, most recently\, Calligraphies (2023)\, and translator of twenty-three books of poetry and essays. She has received the Lenore Marshall Prize and the Voelcker Award from the Poetry Society of America\, the PEN Award in Translation\, the Audre Lorde Prize and the National Book Award. She was editor of the Kenyon Review for five years\, and on the editorial collective of the French journal Siècle 21 for eight. \nPoet\, librettist\, and fabulist\, Karthika Naïr is the coauthor of A Different Distance\, renga written with Marilyn Hacker. Until the Lions: Echoes from the Mahabharata\, her reimagining of the foundational South Asian epic in multiple voices\, won the 2015 Tata Literature Live Award for Book of the Year\, and was highly commended in the 2016 Forward Prizes. The dance performances Naïr has scripted and co-scripted have been staged at venues across the world. These include Akram Khan’s multiple-award-winning DESH and Until the Lions\, and Carlos Pons Guerra’s Mariposa\, a queer reimagining of Puccini’s opera Madame Butterfly.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][vc_column_text]Important information: The discussion will be available both online and in person.

SUMMARY:Music Together with Stacey Pavesi Debré (ages 0–5)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Today\, it’s common for us to simply listen to music rather than create it ourselves. But actively making music—with our voices and our bodies—is important to children’s overall development. Since 1987\, Music Together\, has introduced millions of children\, parents\, and teachers to the joys of music-making and the powerful benefits of having music in their lives. In our family workshops children and parents learn together through active exploration and live\, meaningful interaction. So\, take out the earbuds and pick up the instruments we were all given at birth—ourselves! Each child (aged 0–5) should accompany one of their favorite grownups. \nAbout Stacey Pavesi Debré:  An American in Paris since 2014\, Stacey has been passionate about music and learning her whole life. She studied piano and string bass\, joined choirs\, orchestras\, a capella groups and musical theaters\, and worked as a vocalist in Japan and a singing bartender in NYC. In 2017\, Stacey founded Bébé Music Box to bring Music Together’s award-winning music and movement classes to families and schools in Paris. Our weekly mixed-age family classes are a fun\, dynamic\, and inspiring way for families to connect through music. Plus\, because music learning supports all learning\, the benefits for our young music-makers extend well beyond class. For more information about Bébé Music Box family classes or to contact Stacey\, visit www.bbmusicbox.com.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Journalism under Siege with The Dial and Forbidden Stories
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We live in a dangerous time for journalists. Killings of reporters are on the rise\, while countless journalists have been forced to work in exile. Why are journalists such targets? How does this affect how they report? What can readers do to support the free press? Faced with danger\, what can journalism do? We are delighted to welcome Madeleine Schwartz\, editor-in-chief of global magazine of culture and politics the Dial\, in conversation with Laurent Richard and Sandrine Rigaud of Forbidden Stories\, an organization whose mission is to protect\, pursue and publish the work of other journalists facing threats\, prison\, or murder. They will discuss their work bringing the work of endangered journalists to readers\, share recent projects\, and consider why journalism matters. \nThis event is organized in partnership with the Dial. [/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][vc_column_text]Learn more: \nForbidden Stories enables journalists under threat to share dangerous information through secure channels\, and carry on the work of reporters imprisoned or murdered for their work.  \nIn their words: “We send a powerful signal to enemies of the free press: even if you succeed in stopping a single messenger\, you will not stop the message. What is the point of killing a journalist if 10\, 20 or 30 others are waiting in the wings to carry on their work? Collaboration is the best form of protection.” Learn more about the history of Forbidden Stories and discover the reporting they have brought to light.  \n“The world’s little magazine\,” The Dial is a new online magazine of culture\, politics\, and ideas with a focus on locally sourced writing from around the world. A space where daring writers stage global conversations unconstrained by geography\, the publication spotlights writers who write the world as they see it—from wherever they might be. Check out their recent issue\, with contributors from Sudan\, Ukraine\, Sweden\, Chile\, South Korea\, and more.  \nAbout the speakers: \nLaurent Richard is a journalist\, executive producer of investigative documentaries\, founder and executive director of Forbidden Stories. A French award-winning investigative reporter for Premieres Lignes Television and 2017 Knight-Wallace Fellow at the University of Michigan\, he was named “European Journalist of the Year” at the Prix Europa in Berlin in 2018.  \nSandrine Rigaud is a French investigative journalist. As editor of Forbidden Stories since 2019\, she coordinated the “Pegasus Project” published in July 2021 and the “Cartel Project\,” a massive cross-border collaboration to finish the investigations of a murdered Mexican journalist that won a George Polk Award and the Maria Moors Cabot Prize. \nMadeleine Schwartz lives in Paris\, where she writes about the rise of the far right\, urban politics and art fraud. Her work appears in the London Review of Books\, the New Yorker and the New York Review of Books\, where she previously worked as an editor.

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In partnership with the Center for Writers and Translators\, Shakespeare and Company\, and NORLA\, we are delighted to present Norway’s most celebrated contemporary writer\, Gunnhild Øyehaug\, in conversation on her latest collection of short fiction Evil Flowers.  \nAcross its 25 stories\, Øyehaug renovates the form again and again\, confirming Lydia Davis’s observation that each of her fictions is “a formal surprise\, smart and droll.” Inspired by Charles Baudelaire\, the groundbreaking book features an ornithologist whose brain slips into the toilet bowl\, medicinal leeches that ingest information from fiberoptic cables\, and an elderly woman who is trapped with a ravenous lion. Join us as we step inside Øyehaug’s wonderfully imaginative mind and explore the marvelous new directions she has paved for short fiction.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][vc_column_text]Learn more:  \nGunnhild Øyehaug was described in a 2017 New Yorker review as a “master of the short story.” Find out why.  \nWant to discover her innovative style first-hand?

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) “a place that lives in me”: Writing Caribbean Identity
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]What does it mean to be Caribbean in the 21st century? Is it imprinted in the landscape\, the language\, or is it perhaps\, in the words of Mireille Jean-Gilles (tr. Eric Fishman)\, “a place that lives in me\, and that I unfurl\, like a nomad his tent\, in each place where I live”? In Elektrik: Caribbean Writing\, eight female writers from Haiti\, Martinique\, and Guadeloupe explore the beauty\, pain\, and complexity wrapped up in their identity. Writers Marie-Célie Agnant and Gaël Octavia join poet and translator Danielle Legros Georges to read from the collection and discuss language as defiance.  \nThis event will be hybrid. While Gaël Octavia will appear in-person at the Library\, Marie-Célie Agnant and Danielle Legros Georges will remotely join from Quebec and Boston\, respectively. A live remote viewing will be held at the Brooklyn Center for Fiction and the San Francisco Center for the Art of Translation. [/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][vc_column_text]About the speakers: \nGaël Octavia writes novels\, poetry\, theater\, and short stories. She also paints and makes short films. Inspired by Martinican society\, her texts explore themes of family\, identity\, and the female condition.

Her first novel\, La fin de Mame Baby\, received the Wepler Jury Special Mention Award in 2017. \nDanielle Legros Georges is the author of The Dear Remote Nearness of You and translator of Island Heart\, a collection of poems written by Haitian-French writer Ida Faubert\, among other titles. Her poems have been widely published\, anthologized\, and included in international artistic commissions and collaborations. In 2014\, Legros Georges was named Boston’s poet laureate.

These conversations will broach deeper questions about writing and translation as we learn to think critically about how stories are told\, investigating the points of view\, the timing of the translations\, and the intended or assumed audiences as well as inspiration\, philosophy\, and craft.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][vc_column_text]Important information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While Octavia will appear in-person in the Reading Room\, other participants will appear over Zoom. The Library will stream the conversation on Zoom for a live viewing experience.

SUMMARY:(Online) Henry Hoke and Melissa Broder on Animal Desire
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In Open Throat\, Henry Hoke’s “queer and dangerously hungry” protagonist confronts a central question: “Do they want to eat a person\, or become one?” Inspired by a real-life Hollywood Hills puma\, Hoke uses an animal perspective to break into human language\, highlighting cruelties and contradictions in the anthropocene world. Our protagonist is a naive and probing witness to all that L.A. has to offer: sex\, crime\, cars\, climate change\, economic disparity\, digital content creation\, New York transplants\, and more. A delicious contribution to contemporary fiction\, the book defamiliarizes the human world\, while simultaneously revealing hidden depths to hunger\, desire\, grief\, and care.  \nHoke will appear in conversation with celebrated author of Milk Fed and The Pisces\, Melissa Broder. \nAbout the speakers:  \nHenry Hoke is an editor at the Offing and the author of five books\, most recently the novel Open Throat and the memoir Sticker.   \nMelissa Broder is the author of the novels Milk Fed\, The Pisces\, and the forthcoming Death Valley\, the essay collection So Sad Today\, and five poetry collections\, including Superdoom. Her books are translated in ten languages. She has written for the New York Times\, Elle.com\, and New York magazine’s the Cut. She lives in Los Angeles.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][vc_column_text]Learn more about Open Throat: \nEileen Myles writes of its protagonist that “the beauty and tragedy of all of nature is in this character”\, and that “Open Throat is a fierce writing act. Henry Hoke makes it true.” It has been praised by Chris Kraus as “completely awakening.” \nAuthor Marie-Helene Bertino described the book in the New York Times Book Review as “an act of ravishing and outlandish imagination\,” and concludes: “At its best\, fiction can make the familiar strange in order to bring readers and our world into scintillating focus. Open Throat is what fiction should be.” Read the review here.  \nHoke’s protagonist is inspired by real-life puma P-22.
