SUMMARY:Saturday Workshop: Registration Due
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with our April Observable Readings\, Saint Louis Poetry Center is thrilled to welcome Kundiman poets Shelley Wong and Ina Cariño for a Sunday Workshop Special Event – on a Saturday! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThese two-hour generative workshops will run concurrently\, each led by one of the visiting poets. The workshops will take place on Saturday\, April 15\, 2023.  Registrations for the workshops are due by 11:59 p.m. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHEALTH REQUIREMENTS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrons are encouraged to wear face masks when attending Sunday Workshop in-person at High Low. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGUIDELINES & REGISTRATION\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease note: these workshops are limited to 10 participants each.  Registration is required\, and is first-come\, first-served. \n\n\n\n\nRegistration is due one week prior to workshop\n\n\n\nThese are generative workshops in which participants will draft their own poems\n\n\n\nNo poem submissions will be accepted for this special event\n\n\n\nPoets will not review manuscripts or provide feedback ahead of time\n\n\n\nThose registering are expected to attend the workshop\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo register\, email*:sunday.workshop@stlouispoetrycenter.org*Please indicate which workshop (Shelley Wong or Ina Cariño) you would like to attend.  See workshop descriptions below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE WORKSHOPS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHELLEY WONG Looking Again: Moving Through Images \n\n\n\nWe enter a poem and discover a speaker\, curious to follow them along a journey. How can we use images in our writing to propel our poems in new directions? Together\, we’ll read and draft poems looking for the essence of image-making and how they can spark a poem\, building through repetition\, place\, and time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nINA CARIÑO History is a Haunting \n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, participants will explore poems as memory-spaces. Poems are like memories: malleable\, tinged with bias\, and permeated with the ghosts of our own lived experience. Looking through an anti-imperialist lens\, participants will delve into what it means for a personal history to be intertwined with macro-histories—the ghosts of which haunt us\, and ask: If bastard histories crave undoing\, how would (or could) they be different now? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE POETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHELLEY WONG is the author of As She Appears (YesYes Books)\, winner of the Pamet River Prize and longlisted for the 2022 National Book Award. She is a Kundiman and MacDowell fellow and lives in San Francisco. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nINA CARIÑO is a 2022 Whiting Award winner with an MFA in creative writing from North Carolina State University. Their poetry appears or is forthcoming in the American Poetry Review\, The Margins\, Guernica\, Poetry Northwest\, Poetry Magazine\, the Paris Review Daily\, Waxwing\, New England Review\, and elsewhere. She is a Kundiman fellow and is the winner of the 2021 Alice James Award for FEAST\, just released from Alice James Books in March 2023. In 2021\, Ina was selected as one of four winners of the 92Y Discovery Poetry Contest.

SUMMARY:Poetry at the Point: Pamela Garvey\, Brooking Gatewood\, Karen Head
DESCRIPTION:This reading will be held in-person at Focal Point\, and also streamed live to this event page and to Saint Louis Poetry Center’s Facebook page. Please note the livestream can only be viewed the night of the event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHEALTH REQUIREMENTS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrons are encouraged to wear face masks when attending Poetry at the Point in-person at Focal Point.  Learn more >> \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE POETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPamela Garvey is the author of the collection of poetry Seven Miles Deep (Five Oaks P\, 2017). Her poetry\, prose and book reviews have appeared in Esquire\, Missouri Review\, Margie\, Spoon River Poetry Review\, The North American Review and many other journals. Honors include being a semi-finalist for the “Discovery”/The Nation prize. She is the author of two poetry chapbooks\, Things Impossible to Swallow (2River Press\, 2013)\, and Fear (Finishing Line Press\, 2008)\, a finalist for the New Women’s Voices Competition. Garvey is also a playwright. Her most recent production of the full length play\, The Piddlings\, was 2018. She is currently working on a book of lyric essays centered on raising a son with mental illness. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrooking Gatewood has been writing in verse since she could hold a crayon\, and has a history of scheming up interactive performance experiments that bring poetry off the page and back into the body\, in community – from salons and walking tours and embodied language workshops to a Tedx Talk and mixed-media collaborations. Born/raised in STL\, she’s absurdly happy to be back and re-rooting in riverside soil after many years in California\, and is currently pursuing her MFA with Shane Seely at UMSL. She recently won the 2022 UMSL Graduate Prize in Poetry\, the 2022 Deanne Wagner Poetry Contest\, and is published in Bad Ken: A Journal of Place (forthcoming). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKaren Head is the author of Disrupt This!: MOOCs and the Promises of Technology (a nonfiction book about issues in contemporary higher education)\, as well as five books of poetry: Lost on Purpose\, Sassing\, My Paris Year\, Shadow Boxes and On Occasion: Four Poets\, One Year. She also co-edited the poetry anthology Teaching as a Human Experience: An Anthology of Poetry\, and has exhibited several acclaimed digital poetry projects\, including her project “Monumental” (part of Antony Gormley’s One and Other Project) which was detailed in a TIME online mini-documentary. Her poetry appears in a number of national and international journals and anthologies. In 2010 she won the Oxford International Women’s Festival Poetry Prize. Head has held residencies at the Hambidge Center for the Creative Arts and Sciences and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts-France. She has also taught in study abroad programs in Barcelona\, Spain and Oxford\, England. She serves as Editor of the international poetry journal Atlanta Review\, and as secretary for the Poetry Atlanta Board of Directors. On a more unusual note\, she is the Poet Laureate of Waffle House—a title that reflects an outreach program to bring arts awareness to rural high schools in Georgia\, which has been generously sponsored by the Waffle House Foundation. She is also the Poet Laureate of Fulton County\, Georgia. She is a Professor at Missouri S&T.
