While reading from early drafts of Patter, a collection about miscarriage, infertility, and making a Black family in the U.S., Douglas Kearney's relationship to audiences at poetry gigs changed. Informed by stand-up, improvisational music, and artists from Nina Simone to the Black Took Collective, Kearney began engaging the time between poems-the banter-to activate the imaginative space of association, mess, and discomfort he pursues in his written work: live. This lecture will get into the tension between pain and its performance, comedians' ideas of "killing" and "dying,"along with tips on how to sprint into a stone wall without getting hurt much. Douglas Kearney has published seven books, including Sho, just out from Wave Books, the award-winning Buck Studies (Fence Books, 2016); a collection of libretti, Someone Took They Tongues. (Subito, 2016); and writings on poetics and performance, Mess and Mess and (Noemi Press, 2015). He has received a Whiting Writer's Award, residencies/fellowships from Cave Canem, The Rauschenberg Foundation, and others. Kearney teaches at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities.
