Using poetry as one name for those practices which recall and reconstruct alternative material and social ecologies, we work to attune ourselves to social and aesthetic movement that calls into question prevailing political frameworks.&nbsp; We bring together writers, artists and organizers to unsettle our relationships to ourselves, to the spaces we inhabit, and to our communities. In 2019, we will collaborate with Northern New Mexico College (NNMC) to host participants, visiting artists and faculty speakers on its northern campus in El Rito, NM.&nbsp;<img width="2550" height="2550" width_o="2550" height_o="2550" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/98559fda1985461507381a770a73b141b5b768d4070449f9342fe9e3d8e8cf3e/6740966373_0160c1ff2b_o.png" data-mid="15952349" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/98559fda1985461507381a770a73b141b5b768d4070449f9342fe9e3d8e8cf3e/6740966373_0160c1ff2b_o.png" /> https://nmpoetics.com/2019 Fri, 07 Jun 2019 01:26:47 +0000 nm poetics https://nmpoetics.com/2019 Upcoming Summer Session: July 25-Aug 5, 2019&nbsp;Applications are closed for 2019, please check back for more information! https://nmpoetics.com/2018 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 20:49:36 +0000 nm poetics https://nmpoetics.com/2018 <img width="5760" height="3840" width_o="5760" height_o="3840" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/29b3ec43e59c7388acc426401287eea1f1b084356cfb3f62c5cdf59e86122d14/9n6a8015_35588303802_o.jpg" data-mid="15948612" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/29b3ec43e59c7388acc426401287eea1f1b084356cfb3f62c5cdf59e86122d14/9n6a8015_35588303802_o.jpg" /> NMPoetics will host workshops, seminars and performances at&nbsp;Northern New Mexico College El Rito campus and the Nick Salazar Center for the Arts in Espanola.

Will AlexanderWill Alexander works in multiple genres. In addition to being a poet, he is also a novelist, essayist, aphorist, playwright, philosopher, visual artist, and pianist. His influences range from poetic practitioners, such as Aimé Césaire, Bob Kaufman, Andre Breton, Antonin Artaud, and Philip Lamantia, to the encompassing paradigm of Sri Aurobindo’s Integral Yoga, and the Egyptian worldview as understood by Cheikh Anta Diop and R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz. The latter is central to Alexander’s expanding inner range, which has allowed him access to levels of mind beyond the three-dimensional as boundary. He thereby explores the full dimensionality of each word. For him, each word has access to not only the median level of three-dimensional experience, but also partakes of experience on both the supra and subconscious planes. His praxis of language is not unlike the Mayan numerical world, where each letter of the alphabet spontaneously engages in non-limit. Thus, all fields of experience are open for exploration: art, physics, botany, history, astronomy, architecture, and poetics. Alexander’s books include Asia and Haiti, The Sri Lankan Loxodrome, Compression and Purity, Sunrise In Armageddon, Diary As Sin, Inside the Earthquake Palace, Towards The Primeval Lightning Field, and Mirach Speaks To His Grammatical Transparents. He lives in The City of Angels. Dorothy WangDorothy J. Wang is a Professor in the American Studies Program at Williams College. When will American poetry and poetics stop viewing poetry by racialized persons as a secondary subject within the field? Dorothy J. Wang makes an impassioned case that now is the time. Thinking Its Presence calls for a radical rethinking of how American poetry is being read today, offering its own reading as a roadmap. While focusing on the work of five contemporary Asian American poets—Li-Young Lee, Marilyn Chin, John Yau, Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, and Pamela Lu—the book contends that aesthetic forms are inseparable from social, political, and historical contexts in the writing and reception of all poetry. Wang questions the tendency of critics and academics alike to occlude the role of race in their discussions of the American poetic tradition and casts a harsh light on the double standard they apply in reading poems by poets who are racial minorities. This is the first sustained study of the formal properties in Asian American poetry across a range of aesthetic styles, from traditional lyric to avant-garde. Wang argues with conviction that critics should read minority poetry with the same attention to language and form that they bring to their analyses of writing by white poets. Mei-mei Berssenbrugge (reader) Mei-mei Berssenbrugge was born in Beijing and grew up in Massachusetts. She is the author of twelve books of poetry, most recently I Love Artists: New and Selected Poems and A Lit Cloud, a collaboration with artist Kiki Smith. She lives in New York City and northern New Mexico. Mei-mei Berssenbrugge’s Hello, the Roses opens up poetic form into long, shimmering lines shaped by the beauty and phenomenal fullness of the natural environment. She begins by exploring an array of unities perceived between myth and landscape, fashion and culture, experience and forgetting, boys and ravens. The poems of the middle section shift into an invisible world where plants, animals, and the self communicate and coexist through a process of mutual healing and imagination.… Jennifer DenetdaleAs the first-ever Diné/Navajo to earn a Ph.D. in history, Dr. Jennifer Nez Denetdale is a strong advocate for Native peoples and strives to foster academic excellence in the next generation of students interested in Indigenous Studies.
