RESISTANCE, REBELLION, LIFE: 50 Poems Now

Readings by James Arthur, Alex Dimitrov, Vincent Katz, Deborah Landau, Carol Muske-Dukes, Amit Majmudar, Tomas Q. Morin, Paul Muldoon, Dennis Nurkse, Rowan Ricardo Phillips, Maggie Smith, and Monica Sok from the new anthology Resistance, Rebellion, Life: 50 Poems Now (Knopf, May 2017), 50 crucial poems written in response to the current political climate, selected and introduced by the Ohio Poet Laureate—and son of immigrants—Amit Majmudar.

About RESISTANCE, REBELLION LIFE: 50 Poems Now
In a political atmosphere where language and even meaning itself are continually under threat, poetry has a critical role to play. And our poets have been responding—in the streets and at their desks, demanding a full accounting from themselves and from their nation. Majmudar's elegant introduction to these vital poems reminds us that "false stories take a lot of killing because they are made of language. Because they are made of language, though, they can be killed." From Solmaz Sharif and Eileen Myles to Kevin Young and Juan Felipe Herrera, American poets of diverse styles and strategies have contributed their truths: scenes from the front lines of resistance, and from the interior of our collective conscience.

Presented by Alfred A. Knopf and co-sponsored by the NYU Creative Writing Program and the Poetry Society of America.
