“MANIFESTATIONS" spoken word project @ The Carter Center
Six of the South’s most dynamic writers, performers and spoken
word artists will take the stage at the theater in the Jimmy Carter
Presidential Library and Museum at 8:00 p.m., October 22, 2004.
The readings and performances celebrate the publication of “MANIFESTATIONS:
the d’Arts Literary Anthology,” edited by Gary Corseri.
Featuring work from 50 writers and artists from around the world,
with a focus on the US South and Georgia, “MANIFESTATIONS”
is a project of the DeKalb Council for the Arts in support of literacy,
and the written and spoken word. Doors will open at 7:30 p.m. Copies
of “MANIFESTATIONS” and other works will be available
for purchase in the Carter Museum lobby. The event is free and open
to the public.
The following friends and contributors will join the celebration:
Kodac Harrison is one of Atlanta’s best-known poet-musicians.
Creative Loafing described him as “Southern Tom Waits or a
rural Leonard Cohen.” Harrison’s roots are in Blues and
Southern-Soul. He calls his music “Beatnik Blues.” In
Europe, where he frequently tours, it is described as “Bohemian
Blues.” Harrison is known for his vibrant character studies
and cleaver word play. His husky baritone voice resonates with intelligence
and passion. Harrison has written songs for two movies (Dead Aim
and Mace) and appeared in the independently produced Prayers from
Phoenix City. Creative Loafing readers named Harrison the “Best
Spoken Word Artist” in 2003 and 2004.
Lawrence Hetrick grew up in northern Florida with a fascination
for exploring rivers. That love of life on the water is reflected
in his poetry. In Audubon’s Exposition, Hetrick writes in part
“The tide leaving us, we turned back, With a northeast gale
in our teeth, Our only resort to go waist deep hauling, Over oyster
banks to shore by dark.” In addition to writing poetry, Hetrick
is on the faculty of Georgia Perimeter College in Atlanta and is
the editor of Georgia’s award-winning Chattahoochee Review.
Hetrick’s work has been published in the Sewanee Review, Southern
Humanities Review, and New Virginia Review.
Alice Lovelace is considered one of Atlanta’s premiere
poets. Her use of poetry to educate people about social justice
and political issues has been recognized with numerous awards including
the City of Atlanta Mayor’s Fellowship in the Arts. Lovelace
is a community arts specialist who worked closely with the late
Toni Cade Bambara to organize the Southern Collective of African
American Writers (SCAWW). In addition to writing poetry, Lovelace
is a performance artist, essayist, non-fiction writer and playwright.
She is currently the co-editor of the on-line publication In Motion
Magazine (www.inmotionmagazine.com <http://www.inmotionmagazine.com/>
).
Cecilia Woloch is known for her “intense and precise”
style of poetry. She writes movingly of growing up with six siblings
in Kentucky and searching for her Gypsy roots in the Carpathians.
This past June, the Georgia Writers Association named Woloch Georgia
Author of the Year in Poetry for her collection “Late”
Writing of Woloch’s book-length manuscript “Sacrifice,”
poet and critic David St. John wrote “her poems are by turns
reverential, devotional and incantatory-they are prayers spoken
to, and on behalf of a difficult world.” Woloch teaches creative
writing at Emory University.
Karen Wurl is a slam poet. For the uninitiated, a poetry
slam is the competitive art of performance poetry. Some consider
it the “Olympics of Poetry”. The competition puts a dual
emphasis on writing and performance, encouraging poets to focus
on what they're saying and how they're saying it. Wurl competed
as a member of the Athens, Georgia Slam Team in the National Poetry
Slam in 1995 and 1996. In 2000, she was a member of the Atlanta
Slam Team. In addition to writing and performing her poetry, Wurl
is also a dramatist whose plays have been produced in Atlanta. Her
plays include Transference, Kim's Theory about the Struggle between
Good and Evil, Only Children, A Thousand Years from Now, The Play
about Frank, Death or Serious Injury Can Occur and most recently,
Miss Macbeth.
Gary Corseri is the editor of “MANIFESTATIONS.”
His work has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlanta Journal
Constitution, Village Voice, Georgia Review, Redbook, Sky and other
publications. He has published two novels and two collections of
poetry, and served as a professor in the U.S. and Japan. His dramas
have been produced on Atlanta PBS and elsewhere.
This night of Poetry, Song and Drama is sponsored by the Carter
Presidential Library and Museum and the Dekalb Council for the Arts.
