SUMMARY:PASSWORDS: JAKE SKEETS ON JOY HARJO
DESCRIPTION:The Poets House Passwords series introduces audiences to poets who may be new to them or provides an opportunity to better understand the work. \nIn this edition of Passwords\, Jake Skeets focuses on Joy Harjo’s She Had Some Horses. Harjo’s recursive structures\, accumulative sequencing\, and long architectures names the poem as a site of futurity. Skeets will explore how repetition becomes a practice of time\, generating methods of return and possibility by conjuring not only what has been\, but what might yet be. \nTalk in Kray Hall with a reception to follow in the Viscusi Reading Room.\nAlso streamed on Zoom with link sent out day of the event. \nThis program is presented by Poets House in partnership with Battery Park City Authority.

SUMMARY:PASSWORDS: JAWID MOJADDEDI ON RUMI
DESCRIPTION:The Poets House Passwords series introduces audiences to poets who may be new to them or provides an opportunity to better understand the work. \nIn this talk\, professor and translator Jawid Mojaddedi will highlight Rumi’s unique narrative style through “Moses and the Shepherd\,” the most popular story for Persian readers among the dozens in Rumi’s masterpiece\, the Masnavi. The Masnavi is celebrated for taking the reader on a transformative journey in which the destination is never predictable. Drawing on his experience translating the six-volume work\, Mojaddedi illustrates how Rumi’s subversively interactive style and incorporation of lyrical climaxes lead his reader into perplexity. \nTalk in Kray Hall with a reception to follow in the Viscusi Reading Room.\nAlso streamed on Zoom with link sent out day of the event. \n  \nThis program is presented by Poets House in partnership with Battery Park City Authority.
