SUMMARY:Creative Writing Workshop with Gary Soto
DESCRIPTION:Gary Soto is known for a body of work that deals with the realities of growing up in Mexican American communities. In poems\, novels\, short stories\, plays and over two dozen books for young people\, Soto recreates the world of the barrio\, the urban\, Spanish-speaking neighborhood where he was raised\, bringing the sights\, sounds and smells vividly to life within the pages of his books. Soto’s poetry and prose focus on everyday experiences while evoking the harsh forces that often shape life for Chicanos\, including racism\, poverty\, and crime. (Excerpt taken from the Poetry Foundation.) \nGary Soto’s workshop is part of the Touring Artist Series of the All Writes Reserved Youth Poetry Festival. \nTicket required.

SUMMARY:Not Too Far Distant
DESCRIPTION:A new play by Becky Boesen\, commissioned by History Nebraska\, inspired by the life of Clarence Williams \n“It’s almost unbelievable that anyone could be hardened to the point of doing the brutal things they did…” A young man from the midwest is sent to war\, carrying with him the hopes of the free world. What Staff Sergeant Clarence Williams encounters there challenges and changes humanity forever. History touches the present when a new generation takes a journey through time to experience World War II alongside Clarence himself. Centered around his personal letters home\, we learn that sometimes what seems so far away is much closer than we think. Filled with hope and heart\, Not Too Far Distant honors the experience of the American soldier and reminds us that we all have the power – and the responsibility – to help create a brighter future. \nThe performance will be followed by a scholar-led conversation on Nebraska and holocaust history. \nTickets for this performance are $10 and may be purchased here.

SUMMARY:"Poetry is for Rock Stars" with Nebraska State Poet Matt Mason & Jay Hanson
DESCRIPTION:Join us online for a special Curiosity Connections with Nebraska State Poet Matt Mason in conversation with Nebraska rock musician Jay Hanson. \nRegister for a Zoom link at Eventbrite. \nPoetry is often seen as a formal\, intellectual thing when it’s actually rooted in daily life and experiences. There was nothing formal about Coleridge enlisting in the Light Dragoons under the name Silas Tomkyn Comberbache after he was rejected by a girl. Nothing formal about Byron being described as “Mad\, bad\, and dangerous to know.” Nothing formal in Shelley being expelled from Oxford for publishing The Necessity of Atheism. And don’t even get me started on Blake… Let’s talk about poetry. And Eighties rock. \nRegister for a Zoom link at Eventbrite. \nMatt Mason is Nebraska State Poet. He holds an MA from the University of California\, Davis\, and is the author of four poetry collections and numerous other poems. The former executive director of the Nebraska Writers Collective\, Mason has run workshops in Botswana\, Romania\, Nepal\, and Belarus through the U.S. State Department. He is the recipient of a Pushcart Prize and two Nebraska Book Awards. In 2022\, Mason received an Academy of American Poets Laureate Fellowship. \nJay Hanson has been creating professionally for over twenty years as a songwriter\, performer\, and producer.  A Berklee College of Music graduate\, he has worked in the recording studio with artists ranging from Snoop Dogg to Larry The Cable Guy; clients such as NPR\, ESPN and ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy”\, and shared performances with music notables such as Hootie & the Blowfish\, Cake\, Taylor Dayne\, David Lee Roth\, and The Jayhawks. \nAs a resident artist\, he was a performer and musician with Rave On Productions for thirteen years\, where he appeared in Yesterday & Today: the Interactive Beatles Experience and Rave On! The Buddy Holly Experience  His recent acting credits include starring as “Willy Wonka” in Willy Wonka and as “Guy” in the Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova musical Once\, for which he won the Mary Peckham Award for Best Actor in a Musical.

SUMMARY:The People's Recorder: A Creative Incubator
DESCRIPTION:The People’s Recorder is a national podcast on the 1930s Federal Writers’ Project: what it achieved\, where it fell short\, and what it means for Americans today. An episode about Nebraska is now available. \nEpisode Summary \nIn the 1930s\, the notion of making an incubator for creativity in a region devastated by the Great Depression got tested in Nebraska. This episode looks at what happened there when the Writers’ Project came to town\, through a group of creatives from contrasting backgrounds\, including a hobo\, a nurse and a hardware store poet – all under the watchful eye of a university professor and a celebrated novelist. \nStarting from chaos\, they ignited a surprising alchemy and made the Lincoln office one of the most productive Writers’ Project hubs in the country. The Season 1 finale listens in as Americans face war clouds on the horizon\, and a national radio show asks\, “Can we count on youth to uphold the American Way?” \nListen to episode 10\, A Creative Incubator\, on their website\, or on your favorite podcast platform. \nApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-peoples-recorder/id1693003215\nAcast: https://shows.acast.com/peoples-recorder\nSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/72IK20V1a7nNhhbehGBIYm?si=479e79a135be4187\nAudible: https://www.amazon.com/The-Peoples-Recorder/dp/B0C88BW4R2\niHeart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-peoples-recorder-117528281/
