SUMMARY:Nebraska Poetry Society Workshop: ​Raena Shirali
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. \nIn an era defined by turmoil\, poetry of witness is newly defined by resistance. Although anger is culturally maligned as immature\, reactionary\, hysterical\, and easily dismissed by the structures that be\, what connects us to seemingly insurmountable forces of oppression is our fury in the face of indignity. In this workshop\, participants will work in the lineage of poetry of witness\, considering the evolution and contemporary iteration of the response poem. Together\, we will work with\, not through\, righteous indignation at the state of the world. This is not fine. Let’s whine about it. \nRAENA SHIRALI is the author of two collections of poetry. Her first book\, GILT\, was released by YesYes Books in 2017 and won the 2018 Milt Kessler Poetry Book Award. Published by Black Lawrence Press in October 2022\, her second book\, summonings\, won the 2021 Hudson Prize and was shortlisted for the 2022 Julie Suk Award. Winner of a Pushcart Prize & a former Philip Roth Resident at Bucknell University\, Shirali is also the recipient of prizes and honors from VIDA\, Gulf Coast\, Boston Review\, & Cosmonauts Avenue. Her work has appeared in American Poetry Review\, Academy of American Poets’ Poem-A Day\, The Nation\, The Rumpus\, & elsewhere. Formerly Co-Editor-in-Chief of Muzzle Magazine\, Shirali now serves as Faculty Advisor for Folio—a literary magazine dedicated to publishing works by undergraduate students at the national level. She holds an MFA in Poetry from The Ohio State University and is an Associate Professor of English at Holy Family University.
