SUMMARY:Poet Ross Gay with Janan Alexandra
DESCRIPTION:Ross Gay is interested in joy. Ross Gay wants to understand joy. \nRoss Gay is curious about joy. Ross Gay studies joy. \nSomething like that. \n~ \nRoss Gay is the author of four books of poetry: Against Which; Bringing the Shovel Down; Be Holding\, winner of the PEN American Literary Jean Stein Award; and Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude\, winner of the 2015 National Book Critics Circle Award and the 2016 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award. In addition to his poetry\, Ross has released three collections of essays—The Book of Delights was released in 2019 and was a New York Times bestseller; Inciting Joy was released in 2022\, and his newest collection\, The Book of (More) Delights was released in September of 2023 \n– \nJanan Alexandra \nIn her debut poetry collection\, COME FROM\, janan alexandra weaves from English into Arabic\, exploring the joint projects of longing and belonging. \nPart love song for the speaker’s mother\, part grief song for ongoing postcolonial loss\, this book reaches for\, around\, underneath\, and through language—feeling for its limits and possibilities. \nDrawing on both narrative and lyric impulses\, alexandra invites readers into a world bristling with family\, memory\, home\, and inheritance—all in the wake of dislocation and fracture. In one section of the book\, we follow the speaker “back home” after years of separation; later\, we encounter a series of parables in the form of an Arabic abecedarian\, through which the speaker recovers parts of her mother tongue. Here\, alexandra probes the gifts and wounds of language\, invoking personal and communal histories marked with the longue durée of empire. \n  \n			\n				Get Tickets\n			\n				Season Ticket Packages\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				This program is being supported by Mad River Theater Works\, generous funding from the Ohio Arts Council’s ArtsNext program\, the Yellow Springs Community Foundation and the Yellow Springs Library Association.   \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Updated Event Location: Herndon Gallery at Antioch College\, South Hall\, 805 Livermore Street\, Yellow Springs\, OH 45387 \nParking: Please note that parking is available in the lot behind the Wellness Center / OK Library.
