Oliver Baez Bendorf: "New Moon Newton"

Oliver Baez Bendorf shares recordings of poets that encourage him to “show up in [his] own life” through both their poetry and the way they themselves move through the world as thinkers, activists, and people. He celebrates Trish Salah’s intelligence and generosity of mind (“Tiresias as Cuir (on the run)”), CAConrad’s expressiveness of voice and connection to the body (“I Hope I’m Loud When I’m Dead”), and Ching-In Chen’s call to reconsider histories (“dear story of a risk, 1878.”). Baez Bendorf closes by reading a poem written this summer, titled “Michigan,” inspired by the life and work of transgender activist Sylvia Rivera. Listen to the full recordings of Salah, CAConrad, and Chen reading for the Poetry Center on Voca:Trish Salah (2017)CAConrad (2014)Ching-In Chen with the Thinking Its Presence Board (2017)
