SUMMARY:Nebraska Poetry Society Workshop: Julia Guez
DESCRIPTION:The Nebraska Poetry Society is offering monthly Saturday morning online poetry workshops. 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. \nDecember 14\, Julia Guez “Mapping Our Poems” In “The Archaeology of Knowledge\,” Michel Foucault writes\, “The frontiers of a book are never clear-cut: beyond the title\, the first lines\, and the last full stop\, beyond its internal configuration and its autonomous forms\, it is caught up in a system of references to other books\, other texts\, other sentences: it is a node within a network.” In this generative writing class\, we will begin with a word or phrase\, line or lines from another book of poetry. After mapping out ideas\, feelings\, rhythms\, syntaxes and words we associate with the line or lines we have brought in\, we will start work on our own poems. (Throughout\, we will engage in mini-breaks that can be incorporated into people’s everyday writing rituals in the future\, to spur our creativity and collaboration as a workshop). The lines we begin with may be embedded in the poem we write\, or turn out to serve as the seed\, scaffold or prompt. The process of building a poem in conversation with other poets and poetry\, is one that will hopefully prove to be a rewarding approach for you to take in your writing practice moving forward. \nJULIA GUEZ is a writer and translator based in the city of Houston. “The Certain Body” (Four Way Books\, 2022) is her second collection of poetry\, written while she was recovering from COVID in the spring of 2020. Guez holds degrees from Rice and Columbia.

SUMMARY:OurStory design reveal and exhibition opening reception
DESCRIPTION:The “OurStory: Creating Aging-Ready Housing” exhibition by the University of Nebraska College of Architecture’s FACT Studio\, takes aim at the housing crisis and aging population with a new concept for infill housing and accessory dwellings in the Omaha metro and beyond. \nThe exhibition focuses on a new housing product\, also called OurStory\, that was designed during a Fall 2024 semester-long process by 13 graduate-level architecture students who are members of FACT (Fabrication And Construction Team) a collaborative student designbuild studio at the University of Nebraska College of Architecture. The project is under the mentorship of Jeffrey L. Day\, FAIA\, Professor of Architecture and Landscape Architecture and founding partner of Actual Architecture Company. The OurStory exhibit explores project design goals and the process used to create the broadly applicable housing system. \n“Affordable housing occurs at the intersection of policy\, finance\, and design\,” Jeffrey Day said. “The focus of this exhibition is on design\, informed by the other two realms. OurStory argues for a repair of the single-family house to address housing needs in existing neighborhoods\, vacant odd-lots\, new dense developments\, to accommodate aging in place\, and to uncover new opportunities for the home.” \n“We are designing for the needs of an aging population because it benefits every person and every neighborhood to consider older adults an asset\, and to keep seniors close to the communities and people they love for as long as possible\,” said Jessica Scheuerman\, founder and executive director of Livable Omaha. “Everyone wins if we have more options for aging-ready ADUs and infill housing.” \nThe exhibit will run from December 16 through January 10 and will be viewable during the Dundee Bank’s operating hours\, Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. \nArchitect Jeffrey L. Day\, FAIA\, will give a gallery talk on January 3 during BFF Omaha’s First Friday art walk.

SUMMARY:Nebraska Poetry Society Workshop: Jessica Poli
DESCRIPTION:The Nebraska Poetry Society is offering monthly Saturday morning online poetry workshops. 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. \nHow do the landscapes we’ve lived in shape the way we think\, feel\, and create? In Crossing Open Ground\, Barry Lopez suggests that “the shape of the individual mind is affected by land as it is by genes.” There is a profound connection between our inner lives and the physical spaces we inhabit. In this generative workshop\, we will consider the ways the physical world influences our interior landscapes\, and how those interior landscapes\, in turn\, might shape our poems. Through guided prompts\, reflective discussion\, and close readings of place-inspired poems\, you’ll learn to translate your experiences of land — whether wide-open spaces\, urban corners\, or intimate settings — into vivid\, textured poetry. \nJESSICA POLI is the author of Red Ocher (University of Arkansas Press)\, which was a finalist for the 2023 Miller Williams Prize. Her work has appeared in Best New Poets\, North American Review\, Poet Lore\, and Salamander\, among other places. She is currently a PhD student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln\, where she is an Associate Editor for Prairie Schooner.
