SUMMARY:Kelsey Street Press 50th Anniversary at The Poetry Foundation
DESCRIPTION:Kelsey Street Press\, a small press with an explosive history of publishing radical queer and trans BIPOC and women authors\, celebrates its 50th anniversary. Publishing experimental feminist poetics since 1974\, Kelsey Street Press has been pivotal in addressing gender disparity in publishing. Their formidable lineage includes Etel Adnan\, Mei-mei Berssenbrugge\, Renee Gladman\, Fanny Howe\, Erica Hunt\, Bhanu Kapil\, Myung Mi Kim\, Camille Roy\, and Cecilia Viçuna. \nFour poets with recent or forthcoming publications from Kelsey Street Press will read at this event. Kiran Bath is the author of Instructions for Banno (2024)\, a debut collection which moves through ritual\, ruptured diary\, field notes\, and family genealogy to grapple with the inherited trauma of becoming a South Asian bride (banno). Jennifer (JP) Perrine is the winner of Kelsey Street Press’s 2023 QTBIPOC Prize for Beautiful Outlaw (forthcoming in 2025). Rena Rosenwasser\, a co-founder of the press\, has four poetry collections published by the press across four decades: Elevators (2011)\, Isle (1992)\, Simulacra (1986)\, and Desert Flats (1979). Metta Sáma is the author of Swing at your own risk (2019)\, a formally inventive and incisive critique of anti-blackness in the US empire. \nReading 6-7:15 PM \nReception with open bar 7:15-8:30 PM \nMurmurs from the poet:\nAmerica\,\nthis land is my land this land is her land\nfrom the Mexican border to the New England\nshoreland this land is Not your land this body is\nNot your body this tongue is Not your tongue this\nlanguage will cut you will peel back the\nflesh\n— Metta Sáma\, from Swing at your own risk \nThe Interior is the City within the\nSelf\n— Rena Rosenwasser\, from Elevator \nOmissions in language are intentional. We do not speak of = We do not recognize = It’s not possible. A negation. A mirror that shows you as\ninvisible.\n— Kiran Bath\, from Instructions for Banno \nany answer I give is a half-answer\nany answer arrives through the mouth of an\namerican\n— Jennifer Perrine\, from Beautiful Outlaw \nThis program is part of the Poetry Foundation’s fall 2024 season\, Murmuring Americas.
