SUMMARY:Dedan Gills: 29 Best Poetry Books of 2023
DESCRIPTION:Dedan Gills\nI Give You the Springtime of My Blushing Heart: A Poetic Love Song \nDedan Gills (August 21\, 1945–December 20\, 2015) is co-author\, with Belvie Rooks\, of I Give You the Springtime of My Blushing Heart: A Poetic Love Song\, which has been selected as one of the 29 best poetry books by Speechify for this year’s Poetry Month \nDedan described himself as a “soulutionary.” He was a poet and active member for eight years in one of the first urban intentional environmental communities in the country—the L.A. Eco-Village. Certified in Permaculture\, he was a founding member of the L.A. Permaculture Guild. His poems have appeared in the International Sufi Association Journal. Born in Watts\, California\, Dedan was instrumental in the formation of the Black Student Alliance movement in Southern California and for a time was a member of the Black Panther Party. The demise of the Black Liberation movement was followed by years of despair while trying to find his activist footing on a different ground. He became an unrelenting advocate for human rights and Mother Earth. Dedan worked to integrate principles of permaculture design\, sustainability\, environmental awareness\, and the greening of the inner spirit for healing and recovery. He gave tirelessly to groups of people abandoned by mainstream culture—the homeless and those suffering from addiction and incarceration. He touched many souls while actively and simultaneously addressing their physical\, material\, and emotional wounds. As he was known to say\, “Things come and go\, but the soul is eternal. When souls embrace\, it is like a kiss that lasts forever!” \nhttps://speechify.com/audiobooks/blog/best-poetry-books/ \nSee more of the work of Belvie Rooks and Dedan Gills:\nhttp://growingaglobalheart.weebly.com/about-us.html \nDedan Gills; photo\, Santosh Peters

SUMMARY:Seventh Cascadian Poetry Festival: Bioregional Typography
DESCRIPTION:Clearcutting of languages and cultures has been widespread in Cascadia\, just like the clearcutting of forests. Even so\, this remains a rich and highly varied landscape\, geologically\, biologically\, and linguistically. Cascadian Zen: Bioregional Writings on Cascadia Here and Now is an anthology of pieces written and spoken in English\, but many languages and writing systems are present in the text – mostly as placenames\, personal names\, references\, and quotations. This will be a discussion between two poet/typographers: Theresa Whitehill (who designed the anthology) and Robert Bringhurst. It will start with some of the interesting problems that cropped up in setting volume 1 of the anthology and proceed to the wider context of polylingual typography in Cascadia in general. \nThe date for this talk is Saturday\, October 7\, 2023 1 PM; the venue will be announced and registrants will receive that information before the event. Cost will be $75. \nTo register\, go to https://cascadiapoeticslab.org/workshops-2023-cascadia-poetry-festival/ and click the “Register for Bioregional Typography Talk” button.

SUMMARY:2023 Mendocino Spring Poetry Celebration Reading
DESCRIPTION:The guitar and vocals of David Partch greeted arrivals at the Hill House for the 18th consecutive revival of the Mendocino Spring Poetry Celebration. This was a return to in-person fellowship\, following three years of withdrawal to a radio-only platform due to the pandemic. \nArmand Brint\, Daniel Barth\, and Michael Riedell\, former Poets Laureate of Ukiah\, arrived from over the hill to lend their dignities. Michael Riedell announced moves toward a county-wide Poet Laureate program. \nMartin Hickel came from Marin and trundled food trays from harvest market for both sessions of the day’s performance marathon. Zia Cattalini tended the food table with elegance. \nBill Vartnaw came from Petaluma with his new book of work by the late great H. D. Moe\, formerly a regular supporter of the Celebration. The display table was stocked with work by attendees\, including copies of the May issue of Real Estate Magazine\, with articles on the history of this annual poetry event. \nDan Roberts\, as regular host of the two reading sessions\, is recovering from surgery\, so his office was fulfilled by a consortium of Michael Riedell\, Janferie Stone\, \, and Joe Smith. Nonetheless\, Dan is preparing recordings of the poetry for broadcast\, as usual\, beginning this Sunday June 18 at 3pm\, at kzyx.org on his show Rhythm Running River\, which alternates the poems with selections from world music. \nHere are the 42 poet contributors for 2023; Joe Smith\, Janferie Stone\, Bill Bradd\, Riantee\, Noemi\, Serafina\, Armand Brint\, Mother Bear Scott\, Notty Bumbo\, Mike Edwards\, Sean Casey\, Belvie Rooks\, Tina Ballantine\, David Partch\, Kirk Lumpkin\, Greg Randall\, Devreaux Baker\, Christopher Hills\, Cindy Frank\, Martin Hickel\, Michael Riedell\, Radek Toma\, Marty Durlin\, Bill Vartnaw\, Elizabeth Kirkpatrick- Vrenios\, Joe Bridgman\, Zida Borcich\, Maureen Eppstein\, Janice Marcell\, Mary Rose Kaczorowski\, Bill Craig\, Gordon Black\, Bill Bruneau\, Beth Spencer\, Tory Quintero\, Scott Croghan\, Dan Barth\, Jamie Armstrong\, Zia Cattalini\, Daniel Hess\, Zen Way\, Virginia Sharkey. \nThanks to Zida Borcich for dedicating the cultural banquette of the May issue of REM\, the Real Estate Magazine\, for poems. and articles about poetry\, and the history of the Mendocino Spring Poetry Celebration. Pick up a free copy of REM and see the articles by Dan Roberts and Gordon Black. \nI recall a happy encounter with two German poets checking in at the Hill House\, who chanced to attend the unexpected show of northern California American poetry\, and stayed on for both sessions. I’m pleased to think they got our best. Pick up a free copy of REM\, or try https://realestatemendocino.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/REM-769-1.pdf. \nIn coming weeks at KZYX\, Mendocino County Public Broadcasting each poet will be heard\, presented in segues with music\, in the format for which Dan Roberts has earned a leading reputation. Tune in! \nQuestions? Happily entertained at gblack@mcn.org. \nListen to the interview about the event with Marty Durlin.

SUMMARY:Felicia Rice\, Theresa Whitehill\, and Sidney Regelbrugge: Be More Now
DESCRIPTION:Tune into KZYX&Z’s Be More Now program at 7pm on Thursday\, April 6 when host Blake More interviews artist/printer Felicia Rice\, poet Theresa Whitehill and poet Sidney Regelbrugge\, the Mendocino County Youth Poet Laureate. \nHeavy Lifting\, the outcome of a 3 1/2 year collaboration between artist/printer Felicia Rice of Moving Parts Press and poet Theresa Whitehill is part event\, part film\, part exhibition and part reading\, and it is currently touring Mendocino County and beyond. Our discussion will center upon how this project presents an opportunity for dialogue and healing in an historic time of crisis and renewal. \nHeavy Lifting is a fierce work that names the darkness in the belief that the first stage of recovery from grief is acknowledgement\, and that the precursor to action can be anger. It is a response to a call sounded by artist/educator Paul Soulellis in 2021: “Publishing has always been political\, but has it ever felt as urgent as it does right now in the global distress and intersecting crises of the past year? There’s a desperate need for new language to express publishing’s renewed urgency and importance. …let’s turn away from old\, legacy publishing models towards something new: an ethics\, craft\, and politics of urgent making.” \nThe limited edition artists’ book\, Heavy Lifting\, is the outcome of a close collaboration between artist/printer Felicia Rice of Moving Parts Press and poet Theresa Whitehill. It began in 2019 with an exchange in which a poem sparked a drawing which sparked a poem which led to a book structure\, then spiraled back round again. In 2020\, during their early work on the project\, Felicia lost her letterpress shop of over 40 years to a devastating megafire in the Santa Cruz Mountains just as the death of George Floyd trained a blazing light on the many deep-seated inequities in this country amid the global pandemic and threat of political totalitarianism. Heavy Lifting took flight in spite of and because of our personal and collective crises of this terrible time and tackles these issues in book form\, performance\, and dialogue in search of a tenable future. The innovative book structure of nested accordion-fold panels features stunning poems by Theresa Whitehill in compelling conversation with prints by Felicia Rice. Inge Bruggeman writes in the preface to The Heavy Lifting Companion\, “Felicia Rice has … an unsurpassed commitment to the book as a unique space for expressing artistic content…. Heavy Lifting not only demonstrates Rice’s innovative use of the artists’ book format\, it reveals the unique power of this art form to unfurl within the hands of the individual\, thus beautifully connecting the individual’s role to art\, poetry\, and the world around them.” \nHeavy Lifting acknowledges the almost unbearable pace of relentless crises that have unfolded in recent years—covid\, climate change\, racial injustice\, the threat of totalitarianism\, immigration crises—and begins to dwell in what might lie beyond these times. Theresa Whitehill’s poems tread a tenuous path at the boundaries between personal and collective reckonings with work that portrays alternating grief\, tenderness\, defiance\, and outrage. \nFor more informtation on Heavy Lifting\, visit: https://movingpartspress.com/publications/heavy-lifting/ \nAudio Archive: https://www.snakelyone.com/radio/be-more-now/audio21/bmorenow-bam-dec1-2021.mp3 \nFor more information\, contact Blake More\, host\, Be More Now (info below)

SUMMARY:Heavy Lifting: Cascadian Prophets Interview
DESCRIPTION:Paul Nelson of Cascadia Poetics Lab in Seattle\, Washington is delighted to present an interview about the art book Heavy Lifting\, a collaboration by Felicia Rice of Moving Parts Press and the poet Theresa Whitehill. Recorded Friday\, March 25\, 2023\, via Zoom\, this interview is about how the project came together\, what it means to create stunning works of art that are also books\, and how we engage the realities of the anthropocene. This is an incredibly important fact given that Felicia’s home and studio was totally destroyed by a wildfire that has become the new normal in the California summer. Theresa Whitehill’s poetry works seamlessly with Felicia’s design in a book that is like few others every created. For book nerds\, this is nirvana and we get inside of the whole project via the video version of this Cascadian Prophets interview.
