SUMMARY:Robert Fitterman & Safa Khatib
DESCRIPTION:The reading will be held in-person at High Low. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo inaugurate our National Poetry Month series of events\, join us for a reading with Robert Fitterman and Safa Khatib\, two poets with ties to Saint Louis whose work innovates across histories\, geographies\, and languages.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented in partnership with Saint Louis University Department of English and Left Bank Books. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE BOOKS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCREVE COEUR \n\n\n\nRobert Fitterman’s sixteenth and most ambitious book transposes William Carlos Williams’s postwar long poem Paterson onto the segregated suburbs of late twentieth-century St. Louis to track the collapse of the American urban landscape. \n\n\n\nMirroring Paterson’s structure page-for-page\, Fitterman translates Williams’s patchwork of local news stories\, personal letters\, and found historical documents into the landscapes and mythologies of his hometown\, revisiting many of the horrific events of St. Louis and its environs on the way—the East St. Louis massacre\, the demolition of social housing projects\, military chemical testing in the inner city during the Cold War\, and more. Through a weave of verse\, archival documents\, and found language\, Creve Coeur entangles suburban sprawl with the racial violence at the root of American urbanization. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA DRESS OF LOCUSTS \n\n\n\nWoven from threads of Aramaic\, Spanish\, Ancient Greek\, Sumerian and Arabic\, A Dress of Locusts is an unforgettable song cycle in which the living and dead sing back and forth to one another. Here\, Safa Khatib journeys across the possibilities of language and self\, asking us to dwell in the thresholds between the ‘old’ and the ‘new’. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE POETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nROBERT FITTERMAN is the author of 16 books of poetry. His most recent book\, Creve Coeur\, is a long poem recently published with Winter Editions (2024). Other titles include: This Window Makes Me Feel (Ugly Duckling Presse)\, No\, Wait. Yep. Definitely Still Hate Myself. (Ugly Duckling Presse)\, Nevermind (Wonder Books) and Rob the Plagiarist (Roof Books). He has collaborated with several visual artists\, including Serkan Ozkaya\, Nayland Blake\, Sabine Herrmann\, Natalie Czech\, Tim Davis\, and Klaus Killisch. He is the founding member of the artists-poets collective Collective Task www.collectivetask.org. He lives in New York City and teaches writing at New York University. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSAFA KHATIB is a poet\, translator\, teacher and daughter of South Indian immigrants. She is the author of the forthcoming collection A Dress of Locusts (Bloomsbury 2025). Her current projects include a book of collages provisionally titled return service and “smoke\,” a text written in collaboration with choreographer Cecil Slaughter. Her writing has appeared in numerous journals\, including Words Without Borders\, Baffler\, Kenyon Review and White Review. She is the recipient of support from the US Fulbright Program and the Stadler Center for Poetry\, among other institutions. She is currently a PhD student in the Track for International Writers in the department of Comparative Literature at Washington University in St Louis\, Missouri. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVENUE

SUMMARY:Poetry at the Point: Andrea Scarpino & Eric Doise
DESCRIPTION:Reading from Chamber after Chamber in a celebration of Saara Myrene Raappana\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis 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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaara Myrene Raappana’s poetry is haunting\, beautiful\, and rich with Lake Superior landscapes. It bears witness to both the beauty and violence of rurality and the United States with linguistic whimsy and structural inventiveness. Her most recent book\, Chamber after Chamber\, won the 2023 Juniper Prize for Poetry and is a meditation on the word “heart” and its many meanings. Thoughtful and daring poetry\, Chamber after Chamber was published just days after Saara’s death at age 48. Tonight\, we gather to celebrate her poetry and her writing life in a reading and conversation with Saara’s husband Eric Doise and her friend Andrea Scarpino. \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.
