SUMMARY:Tongues Shaped Like Harps: Experimenting with Poetry and Visual Art
DESCRIPTION:June 6\, 13\, 20\, 27\, 2023\n12:00–1:30 p.m. EDT \n“Pray in the tongues / that are shaped like harps” \n—From “Versöhnung” (Reconciliation)\, by Else Lasker-Schüler \nPoetry and visual art have a long history of inspiring each other. The German-Jewish poet Else Lasker-Schüler\, quoted above\, was influenced by Franz Marc and other Expressionist painters\, and her work\, in turn\, influenced other artists. In this immersion\, we’ll look at connections between a variety of Jewish poets and artists\, like Marc Chagall and Alexander Mazin\, and John O’Hara and Mike Goldberg. We’ll also look at creatives who work across different media\, like Jean Arp\, Tristan Tzara\, Marcia Falk\, and Maya Pindyck. These works will inspire our own experiments in writing ekphrastic poetry (poetry that responds to other art forms). We will also deepen our writing through simple exercises in drawing\, watercolor painting\, and collage. By playing with different media\, we will see how writing and art can open up new avenues of creativity in conversation with each other. All are welcome\, regardless of experience in writing poetry or artmaking. \nCathleen Cohen was the 2019 Poet Laureate of Montgomery County\, PA. A painter and teacher\, she founded the We the Poets program at ArtWell\, an arts education non-profit in Philadelphia. Her poems appear in journals such as Apiary\, Baltimore Review\, Cagibi\, East Coast Ink\, 6ix\, North of Oxford\, One Art\, Passager\, Philadelphia Stories\, Rockvale Review and Rogue Agent. Camera Obscura (chapbook\, Moonstone Press)\, appeared in 2017 and Etching the Ghost (Atmosphere Press) in 2021. She received the Interfaith Relations Award from the Montgomery County PA Human Rights Commission and the Public Service Award from National Association of Poetry Therapy. Her paintings are on view at Cerulean Arts Gallery (ceruleanarts.com). \nAll sessions will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.

SUMMARY:Learning to Say “We”: Writing Identity
DESCRIPTION:June 15\, 22\, 29\, July 6\, 2023\n2:00–3:30 p.m. EST \nWe often talk about identity as though it were something we have always been and absolutely are. But identity is not fixed: it is a way of understanding ourselves that relates us to others. Identities can be temporary as name-tags and enduring as monuments; singular as snowflakes and (think of Whitman’s “Song of Myself”) encompassing as oceans. We can think of our identities as a collage\, or pointillist painting\, or an ongoing story\, or as the intersection of the histories that led to us and the social systems that surround us. American Jews\, in particular\, have no choice but to navigate multiple ways of identifying ourselves—as Jews\, as Americans\, as members of a racially stratified society\, as targets and beneficiaries of oppression\, as inheritors of and rebels against millennia of Jewish cultures and traditions. In this immersion\, we will reflect and expand on our personal experiences of identity\, using writing exercises and in-depth discussions to think about\, challenge\, discover\, explore\, and experiment with different ways to identify ourselves\, to consider how those ways connect us to and separate us from others\, and how they represent and misrepresent aspects of who we are. \nJoy Ladin is the author of twelve books\, including the National Jewish Book Award–winning revised second edition of The Book of Anna (EOAGH\, 2021); The Soul of the Stranger: Reading God and Torah from a Transgender Perspective (Brandeis UP)\, a finalist for both a Lambda Literary Award and Triangle Award; Through the Door of Life: A Jewish Journey between Genders\, a finalist for a National Jewish Book Award and winner of a Forward Fives Award; and ten books of poetry\, including Shekhinah Speaks; Fireworks in the Graveyard (Headmistress Press); Psalms; Forward Fives–award winner Coming to Life; and two Lambda Literary Award finalists\, Transmigration and Impersonation. She has been awarded a National Endowment for the Arts writing fellowship\, a Fulbright Scholarship\, an American Council of Learned Societies Research Fellowship\, and two Hadassah Brandeis Institute Research fellowships\, among other honors. She holds a Ph.D. in American Literature from Princeton University\, an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from the University of Massachusetts (Amherst)\, and a B.A. from Sarah Lawrence College. \nAll sessions will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.
