SUMMARY:Nebraska Poets Reading Series: Chuck Peek
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. \nChuck Peek is a Great Plains poet whose work is pastoral\, funny\, and sharp as the Nebraska wind. He captures the quirks and truths of Great Plains life with wit and warmth. \nChuck Peek is a Provincetown storyteller who musician Zoe Lewis called “one of the magic people we have met on the road of life\,” and some witty guy once dubbed him “the Johnathan Winters of Willa Cather Scholars.” His curriculum vita began by citing driving the Etoile in Paris at morning rush hour and holding the liquor license for the Cather Foundation. One book\, two chapbooks\, and dozens of individual poems later (one of them in Ted Kooser’s This American Life in Poetry\,) someone decided he was a poet. All that while he taught at four universities as academia in America crumbled.

SUMMARY:Nebraska Poetry Society Workshop: Alison Lubar
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. \nAlthough one of the most famous writers of the sonnet was Shakespeare\, the form has existed since the 13th century. In this history-meets-poetry workshop\, participants will explore classic and contemporary sonnets\, from poets like Petrarch\, Edna St. Vincent Millay\, Terrance Hayes\, and Nicole Tallman. We’ll look at the way that poets use the sonnet form to address the issues of their time and how this “little song” has evolved over its long existence. Participants will walk away with a broad understanding of the Sonnet\, the way its conventions both draw on and continually inspire other forms of poetry\, and ways to try writing their own “little songs.”​ \nAlison Lubar is a queer biracial Nikkei poet and educator who teaches literature to teenagers\, writing to adults\, and yoga to all ages. They’re the author of two full-length poetry books\, The Other Tree\, winner of Harbor Editions’ 2023 Laureate Prize\, and METAMOURPHOSIS (fifth wheel press\, 2024)\, four chapbooks\, Philosophers Know Nothing About Love (Thirty West\, 2022)\, queer feast (Bottlecap Press\, 2022)\, sweet euphemism (Mouthfeel Press\, 2023)\, and It Skips a Generation (Stanchion\, 2023)\, and a forthcoming microchap\, American Kintsugi (Bull City Press\, 2026). Alison is also a board member for Philadelphia’s Blue Stoop.

SUMMARY:Nebraska Poetry Society Workshop: Aly Acevedo

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. \nDesire is one of the oldest subjects of human art\, not just romantic desire but the deep longing to be seen\, understood\, and connected. In this workshop\, we’ll explore how poetry gives voice to that yearning and how language becomes a bridge between isolation and intimacy. Through discussion and guided writing\, participants will consider what it means to reach for another person\, to be known\, and to find meaning through connection. \nAly Acevedo is a Puerto Rican and Vietnamese poet\, educator and speaker living in the Kansas City area. Her debut collection\, My Dear Cult Leader (Button Poetry\, 2026)\, examines the long shadows of a toxic relationship and the aftermath of sexual assault\, weaving personal history with persona poems that explore power\, trauma and reclamation. Her writing has been featured in Frontier Poetry\, TRASH MAG\, Ink and Marrow\, Anti-Heroin Chic and elsewhere. She lives with her husband\, two cats and dog.

SUMMARY:The People’s Recorder: A Virtual Discussion about the Federal Writers’ Project in Nebraska
DESCRIPTION:The People’s Recorder podcast launched to acclaim in 2024 and won a Silver Signal Award for History Podcasting and was nominated for an Ambie Award for Best Indie Podcast. This virtual event will build on the discussion started in the Nebraska-based episode\, “A Creative Incubator\,” further exploring the work and the literary and cultural legacy of the Writers’ Project in Nebraska. \nModerated by The People’s Recorder host Chris Haley\, the panel discussion will feature writer/co-producer David Taylor\, Marilyn Holt (author of Nebraska during the New Deal) and Stephen Cloyd\, who recently retired from the Lincoln City Libraries. The event will also feature University of Nebraska-Lincoln professor Timothy Schaffert\, who will discuss the Prairie Schooner’s Centennial\, and Lincoln City Libraries’ Deb Arenz\, who will speak about the collections at the Jane Pope Geske Heritage Room of Nebraska Authors. \nWatch live on The People’s Recorder YouTube Channel. \nPart of the WPA\, the Federal Writers’ Project provided work for unemployed writers\, editors\, and other white-collar workers during the height of the Great Depression. The Writers’ Project had a mandate to produce state and city travel guides\, and interview everyday citizens. It was perhaps the largest and most chaotic publishing venture in American history\, and yet it produced over 200 publications\, and its flagship travel guide series remains important for its firsthand views of life in America. The Nebraska guide was a notable success and state bestseller. \nThis moderated discussion with a panel of experts will focus on that guidebook and the work of the staff of the Nebraska Writers’ Project and how that speaks to Nebraskans today. It will focus on the varied experiences of three Nebraskans: Rudolph Umland\, a hardscrabble farmer turned editor\, Weldon Kees\, a hardware businessman’s son turned poet\, and Ruby Wilson\, a former nurse who found a passion in first-person history. The event will also shine a spotlight on University of Nebraska-Lincoln professor and founder of Prairie Schooner\, Lowry Wimberly\, whose influence was critical to the Project’s success. \nThis event is being produced in partnership with Lincoln City Libraries and Prairie Schooner with support from Humanities Nebraska.
