SUMMARY:Virtual Winter Lecture Series 2023: Polarization in America: Is Foreign Policy Different?
DESCRIPTION:The Unitarian Church of Lincoln is hosting a series of virtual lectures at 7 p.m. on Sunday evenings. The lectures are free via Zoom and will be posted on YouTube afterwards. For more information about receiving the Zoom link and viewing the lectures\, visit the Virtual Winter Lecture Series website. \nIt has been often noted that in recent decades America has become a deeply polarized society\, a condition translated into its political system.  Yet on some current issues like views toward Russia and China\, two important states\, there seems to be considerable bipartisan consensus in Washington—at least for now.  The old question thus arises again:  does partisanship stop at the water’s edge?  Should it?  Does it really do so now? This Winter Lecture Series program will explore some perspectives on this subject.  It starts with an overview of bipartisanship in American diplomatic history\, moves to views toward China regarding Taiwan and other issues\, then takes up the topic of views toward Russia regarding Ukraine and NATO.  The program closes with a deeper look at polarization in American society and politics. \nFeb. 19 – Professor Thomas “Tim” Borstelmann\, Thompson Professor of Modern World History\, University of Nebraska-Lincoln. “An Overview of Bipartisanship in American Diplomatic History.” \nFeb. 26 – Professor J. Megan Greene\, Department of History\, University of Kansas. “China\, Taiwan\, and American Politics.” \nMar. 5 – Professor James M. Scott\, Herman Brown Chair and Professor\, Texas Christian University. “Polarization in America and Foreign Policy:  the Case of US Policy toward Russia.” \nMar. 12 – Professor Kevin Smith\, University of Nebraska-Lincoln. “Political Polarization in the United States and What It Means.”

SUMMARY:DEIA Lunch and Learn with Michelle Troxclair
DESCRIPTION:Diversity\, equity\, inclusion and access are terms we’ve heard recently being used by companies and organizations as a way to fight against harm and appear to engage all people. But what do they actually mean and how do we trust that they’re more than just trendy buzzwords? How do they translate into hiring practices\, doing more than just inviting diverse faces to the table but also embracing their ideas\, culture and voices. How do these words acknowledge the neuro and ability divergent? How do we go beyond the buzzwords and embrace the discomfort that comes with real change? These are some of the many things we’ll be addressing in this two hour long lunch and learn featuring a panel of some of Omaha’s best thought leaders – Olajide Cooper\, Nate Scott\, Lacey Lamar\, and Michael McGee – and led by Michelle Troxclair DEIA Specialist with the Benson Theatre. \nEvent is free and includes lunch\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Creative Writing Workshop with Kush Thompson
DESCRIPTION:This workshop with Kush Thompson\, recommended for ages 16+\, is part of the Touring Artist Series of the All Writes Reserved Youth Poetry Festival. The event is free\, but registration is required. \nCloud in a Bed\, Moon in a Cage: How to Reverse-Engineer a Metaphor from Surrealist Imagery \nIn this workshop\, we’ll chisel a rabbit hole into the world within metaphor to discover what transforms when imagery unravels. Inspired by the surrealism of Mahmoud Darwish\, Remedios Varo\, and Ed\, Edd n Eddy\, this almost-ekphrastic workshop borrows alchemical imagery\, takes it apart\, and turns the abstract literal. \nAuthor of A Church Beneath the Bulldozer (2014) and creator of the pink-haired Blk Hottie portraiture series\, Kush Thompson is a Chicago-born poet\, painter\, archivist\, educator\, and a fellow of Luminarts and Cave Canem. She creates archival art; centering often on girlhood and the mechanics of memory. Her work has appeared in Poetry Magazine and The BreakBeat Poets: New American Poetry in the Age of Hip-Hop (2015). Kush herself can be found in the VHS bin at any given thrift store somewhere in New Orleans.

SUMMARY:Nebraska Poets Virtual Reading Series
DESCRIPTION:The 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 are available on the Nebraska Poetry Society’s website. \nFebruary 7 Amy Haddad\nAmy Haddad is a poet\, nurse and educator who taught in the health sciences at Creighton University where she is now a Professor Emerita. Her poetry and short stories have been published in several periodicals including the American Journal of Nursing\, Janus Head\, Journal of Medical Humanities\, Touch\, Bellevue Literary Review\, Pulse\, Persimmon Tree\, Annals of Internal Medicine\, Aji Magazine\, DASH\, and Oberon Poetry Magazine. Her first chapbook\, “The Geography of Kitchens” was published by Finishing Line Press in August\, 2021. Her first poetry collection\, “An Otherwise Healthy Woman\,” was published by Backwaters Press\, an imprint of the University of Nebraska Press in March\,  2022. It presents the intimate experiences of a nurse\, the vulnerable perspective of a patient\, and the lessons of caring for family. \nMarch 7 Marjorie Saiser\nMarjorie Saiser’s eighth book\, The Track the Whales Make: New & Selected Poems\, is published by University of Nebraska Press in Ted Kooser’s series of Contemporary Poets and won the High Plains Book Award. Saiser’s Losing the Ring in the River (University of New Mexico Press) won the Willa Award in 2014.\nShe has received four Nebraska Book Awards and is co-editor of Times of Sorrow/Times of Grace\, a collection of writing by women of the Great Plains\, and also co-editor of Road Trip\, interviews with a dozen Nebraska writers. Saiser’s work has been published in Prairie Schooner\, Alaska Poetry Review\, Nimrod\, Midwest Quarterly\, and American Life in Poetry. Ted Kooser said of Saiser’s work that “no poet in this country is better at writing about love\, and . . . all her poems are in some way about love.” \nApril 4 Shyla Shehan\nShyla Shehan is an analytical Virgo from the Midwest. She has an MFA in Writing from the University of Nebraska where she was awarded an Academy of American Poets Prize. Her work has appeared in over 25 journals and anthologies\, including The Decadent Review\, Heartwood Literary\, Gyroscope Review\, Plainsongs\, and elsewhere and her debut poetry collection\, Unsuspecting Cinderella\, was released by Finishing Line Press in 2022. It tracks a female persona through the losses of love and the strangeness of life when one moves through it alone. The second section follows that same persona into a world of new love and the oddly haunting burden of unexpected affluence. Throughout\, the poems are rich with vibrant language\, surprising reversals\, and insights into the difficulties of surviving emotionally in our stressful culture. The collection is both entertaining and moving\, not to mention philosophically engaging. Shyla lives in Omaha with her husband\, children\, and four cats and currently splits her time between managing a healthy household and running a nonprofit literary journal\, The Good Life Review. Her full bio and an account of her published work are available at shylashehan.com. \nMay 2 Tyler Jacobs\nTyler Michael Jacobs is the author of Building Brownville (Stephen F. Austin State University Press\, 2022). It explores forms of grief through the internalization of experience and wanders further to wonder if the past is too far away to fix the present while also serving as a love letter to Nebraska. This collection offers a millennial voice within poetry––a voice that not only subverts the norm of what poetry is but defies the stereotypes of a region\, offering connection through grief\, love\, and place––to experience a somewhere which we have never been.\nHis poems have been featured on Nebraska Public Media’s Friday Live! His poetry has also appeared in Sierra Nevada Review\, Pidgeonholes\, Thin Air Magazine\, White Wall Review\, Funicular Magazine\, and elsewhere. Tyler is an MFA candidate at Bowling Green State University\, where he is also a graduate assistant teaching English and Creative Writing. \nJune 6 Chad Christensen\nChad M. Christensen is the managing editor of the WSC Press\, director of the Plains Writers Series\, and an associate professor at Wayne State College\, where he teaches publishing and creative writing.\nHis books of lo-fi poetry are Ground Bound and Shoot from the Hip (Pseudo Poseur Productions)\, both poetic novels dealing with addiction and the search for truth no matter hard life becomes. His latest poems have appeared in Sugar House Review and Plainsong. He also writes a column for The Big Smoke called “Boy with Shovel.” \nJuly 11 Lin Brummels\nLin Marshall Brummels grew up on a quiet farm at the edge of the Nebraska Sandhills. She now boards horses with a little help from family. Brummels earned a Psychology BA from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and a MS in Rehabilitation Counseling from Syracuse University.

Her chapbook\, What Is Left Behind: Garden Elegies\, was published by Finishing Line Press. The poems are grounded in the past\, using skillful language to convey grief and the temporality of life. Generations of women expressed their need to create art and beauty in the world through the gardens they planted\, the flowers they loved. As a descendant of such women\, Marcellus knows this is especially true of the prairie women who often had no other way to find expression in a harsh climate. What is Left Behind evokes the beauty of the gardens as well as the spirit of the women who planted them. The poems strike a still point between breathless vision and respect-filled hindsight. \nNovember 7 Lucy Adkins\nLucy Adkins’ poetry has been published in many journals including Poet Lore\, Red Wheelbarrow\, South Dakota Review and the anthologies Crazy Woman Creek\, Women Write Resistance and the Poets Against the War anthology.

SUMMARY:Virtual Winter Lecture Series 2023: Polarization in America: Is Foreign Policy Different?
DESCRIPTION:The Unitarian Church of Lincoln is hosting a series of virtual lectures at 7 p.m. on Sunday evenings. The lectures are free via Zoom and will be posted on YouTube afterwards. For more information about receiving the Zoom link and viewing the lectures\, visit the Virtual Winter Lecture Series website. \nIt has been often noted that in recent decades America has become a deeply polarized society\, a condition translated into its political system.  Yet on some current issues like views toward Russia and China\, two important states\, there seems to be considerable bipartisan consensus in Washington—at least for now.  The old question thus arises again:  does partisanship stop at the water’s edge?  Should it?  Does it really do so now? This Winter Lecture Series program will explore some perspectives on this subject.  It starts with an overview of bipartisanship in American diplomatic history\, moves to views toward China regarding Taiwan and other issues\, then takes up the topic of views toward Russia regarding Ukraine and NATO.  The program closes with a deeper look at polarization in American society and politics. \nFeb. 19 – Professor Thomas “Tim” Borstelmann\, Thompson Professor of Modern World History\, University of Nebraska-Lincoln. “An Overview of Bipartisanship in American Diplomatic History.” \nFeb. 26 – Professor J. Megan Greene\, Department of History\, University of Kansas. “China\, Taiwan\, and American Politics.” \nMar. 5 – Professor James M. Scott\, Herman Brown Chair and Professor\, Texas Christian University. “Polarization in America and Foreign Policy:  the Case of US Policy toward Russia.” \nMar. 12 – Professor Kevin Smith\, University of Nebraska-Lincoln. “Political Polarization in the United States and What It Means.”
