Kay Ryan's poems affect me the way that Lydia Davis's pieces affect me. Their eccentric humour and intellectual qualities hide enormous reservoirs of beauty and pathos. They always make me laugh and cry.
Her sounds thrill through the ears. I never tire of listening to her poems.
One of the best talks about writing that I have ever watched
Where are you JM… miss you much
I love this woman. Profound y inspiring. Thank you❣️
Love this guy's writing. Just finished reading his latest novel, "Such Kindness". I'm working on "Gone So Long" now. He is one of the best at creating very authentic characters, but also placing them in the perfect environment, or place.
Writers who love William Maxwell are usually great writers too. Baxter is one of them.
Kay Ryan’s work reminds me of my favorite children’s poet, Valerie Worth, whose “small poems” also share the “recombinant rhyme.” Worth and Ryan did not know of one another, as far as I know, but the similarities are so wonderfully present. Hoping more Ryan readers discover Worth’s amazing writing.
That was a great presentation.
Interesting.
Terrible audio
Great....
With every sentence I got so excited. Thanks!
Glad to see this talk online. "Bad Behavior" is a lifetime favorite.
A gift on this precise day of my life - thank you!
How do I see if I'm related to chun-li?
I dont have the time for rhyme!
amazing!

Very much enjoyed your poems and reading. I’m a senryu, haibun, tanka, kyoka poet and hope you don’t mind me sharing a recent haibun. The inspiration came after you mentioning “ theoloneous Monk in one your poems. It triggered this memory titled ‘Round Midnight: ‘Round Midnight It was a huge ballroom on the top floor of a building on Broadway --an important midtown crossroads in the heart of the Great White Way. My uncle still talks with reverence about how--in his heyday--he would travel by rail to the corner of Lenox and walk inside to the beat of jungle music. Who knew what to expect? One night you might be listening with rapt attention to Theloneous Monk the godfather of bebop in his beret cap, or dizzy gillespie with bent horn and pouched cheeks rocking the joint with wild scat incantations, or enchanted by the sweet taste of Brown Sugar--with Bojangles out front. And when the Bird was in flight, even the moon was not high enough. But in 1940 the ballroom closed its doors to make way for a commercial housing development and another kind of night. new Harlem-- the A-Train replaced by the bullet -Al Fogel all love in isolation from Miami Beach, Florida Al
I’ve gone through this lecture, copied out by hand each poem KR discusses, and annotated everything she says about it. It was a great exercise to do all this. But that said, it would be wonderful if she had a written-up -and, ideally, expanded- version of this lecture. (Unless, of course, she’s done this. Anyone know of anything along these lines?)
So helpful! Engaging and inspirational.
Thank you! A very useful and inspiring lecture.
thanks for posting this, Hugo House. I was at this event, I was hoping someone would transcribe her talk. Do you have that? If not, maybe I will do it
It's less than 8 months later and Claudia is now claiming Hugo House is a horrible organization? LOL. What an opportunist. See 1:48 and 3:02
I was here.
Excellent lecture/Q&A with Charles Johnson, one of our most important cultural voices. His advice on teaching is so valuable, and his book "The Way of the Writer" should be read by all writers, teachers, and readers in my opinion. Thank you for posting this video!
The story he tells about his father telling his brother "I'd like to hug you" when he came home from Vietnam is devastating. Great stuff about plot. Captain Happen!
Reading House of Sand and Fog right now. What an amazing book so far. Everyone jumps off of the page alive and breathing. It’s really inspired me to take the viewpoint of “What’s it really like to be you.”
This lecture should be required viewing for writers
Wonderful talk! I have been absolutely mesmerised by her speech and ways of thinking throughout the whole session.
This is a wonderful talk, especially the first 30 minutes! Love this!
Actual speech doesn’t start until 8:17
this woman is the definitive writer of the South Florida area. she actually makes me (almost) proud to be from here.
This is great, thanks for uploading these
Thank you for sharing. You have a calm, reassuring presence. I can only imagine how encouraging your classes are in person.
What isn’t worse than unrequited love?💔
A co - parent? Whatever happened to the wonderful word, "father?" Aside from the dippy introduction, I enjoyed the talk. And "Stoner" is indeed a great novel.
we stan one man.....c.b. is daddy.
YES
Heard you on Robin's show Here and Now yesterday. Thanks for introducing us to John Williams. I will buy your book. t

what's with the sound?? can't hear!!
Jay, this is SeattleJunkieQueen from Lookout Landing, and i have to say your voice guided me into such a deep blissful hypnosis that I just have to thank you in this public space, buddy.
Your delivery of the hotel room sex scene is perfect. it's like the reader/listener is right in the room with them.
