SUMMARY:Nebraska Poets Reading Series: Janice N. Harrington
DESCRIPTION:The free monthly Nebraska Poets Reading Series highlights the talent of Nebraska poets and invites discussion with audience members. All events are free online\, but registration is required to receive an event link. Registration links for each poet’s event and additional details about each poet are available on the Nebraska Poetry Society’s website. \nHarrington writes descriptive\, lyrical\, and experimental poems that speak to the Black American Imagination in all its multiplicity\, advocating for a future that celebrates pleasure and self-fulfillment within Black communities. \nJanice N. Harrington’s writing reflects her interest in cultural history\, the natural world\, visual arts\, and African American Life in the South and Midwest. Her latest book of poetry\, Yard Show (BOA Editions)\, grows out of her three earlier books of poems\, Even the Hollow My Body Made Is Gone\, The Hands of Strangers\, and Primitive: The Art and Life of Horace H. Pippin. Harrington is also an award-winning children’s author. She is a Cave Canem fellow and teaches creative writing at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Registration is required\, and registration information may be found on the Nebraska Poetry Society webpage. Free with annual membership; nominal fee for non-members. Students\, minors and others for whom the registration fee is prohibitive may request a free membership. \nA quiet painting of farmers except a tiny man falls from the sky. A poem with a commercial break. The childhood memory that lands on your head on your grocery store run. Some art insists the out of place actually belongs—as if it’s meant to be. We’ll explore such art\, fill some pages\, and build some creative bridges that may freshen our perspectives on the things we make and the days we live. \nBred MOdlin is The Paul and Clarice Reynolds Endowed Chair of Creative Writing and an associate professor. His book\, Everyone at This Party Has Two Names won the Cowles Poetry Prize. His Surviving in Drought (fiction stories) won the Cupboard Contest.

He likes laughing with his students.

SUMMARY:The Legacy of the Orphan Trains: Kimball
DESCRIPTION:Novelist and humanities scholar Alison Moore and singer/songwriter Phil Lancaster have combined audio visual elements\, historical fiction and musical ballads into a collaborative performance that brings the Orphan Train movement\, a largely-unknown chapter in American history\, to public awareness. The presentation tells the story of the 250\,000 orphans and unwanted children who were put on trains in New York between 1854 and 1929 and sent all over the United States to be given away. After the presentation\, there is an informal discussion about the origin and demise of the largest child migration in history and the part it played in the formation of the American Dream. The human struggle to belong\, to define one’s self in the place we call home is exemplified in the stories of these children that have shaped all of our lives. The presenters will take questions from the audience and will invite relatives and acquaintances of Orphan Train Riders to share their stories. \nAlison Moore\, MFA\, is a former Assistant Professor of English/Creative Writing in the MFA Creative Writing Program at the University of Arizona and a current Humanities Scholar. She lives in Austin and has been touring nationally since 1998 with the multi-media program “Riders on the Orphan Train” that is currently the official outreach program for the National Orphan Train Complex Museum and Research Center. She has also developed public outreach programs for the Orphan Train Heritage Society of America\, Inc. and for ArtsReach\, a Native American literacy project in Southern Arizona. She is the author of four books. She received two National Endowment for the Arts Fiction Fellowships in 1993 and 2010 and the Katherine Ann Porter Prize for Fiction in 2004. In 2007/2008 she received the J. Frank Dobie Paisano fellowship from the University of Texas at Austin and the Texas Institute of Letters. In 2012 she received the Charles Loring Brace Award for helping to preserve the stories of the Orphan Trains. \nPhil Lancaster was born in Texarkana\, Arkansas and studied art and music at L’Ecole De Beaux Arts in Angers\, France. He became a member of a bluegrass band that toured throughout France and produced an album entitled “Bluegrass Oldies Ltd./Traveling Show.” After returning to the U.S. he met three Arkansas musicians and the acoustic quartet “Still on the Hill” was formed in Fayetteville. They released their first CD in 1997\, the second in 2000. The group performed at national and international folk festivals. In 2007 he received an Arkansas Arts Council Fellowship in Music Composition. He is co-producer of the documentary film “Gospel\, Biscuits and Gravy” about Ozark gospel singer Ernestine Shepherd and presenter of “Riders on the Orphan Train\,” the official outreach program for the National Orphan Train Complex.
