SUMMARY:Who Loves the Sun | Chicago Book Launch and Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Join author Fulla Abdul-Jabbar in conversation with Mika Yamamoto for a celebration of her new book\, Who Loves the Sun\, with performances from Samara Huggins and Sonnenzimmer.  \n\n\n\nWho Loves the Sun begins as a study of the scientific poster\, in an attempt to understand the object and the people who make them. Eventually focus strays from this subject to explore how the emotional\, personal\, and expressive leak from all structures that attempt to contain the self\, be they molecular\, disciplinary\, or typographic. Composed of seven chapters\, each taking a different form—from email to lecture to personal essay to mourning diary— Who Loves The Sun ultimately embraces the failure of form. \n\n\n\nThis event is sponsored by Meekling Press\, the Guild Complex and Haymarket Books.  \n\n\n\n***We ask that all in-person attendees wear masks in the event space during the program for the health and well-being of the speakers and other guests. We will have a reception afterwards with light refreshments and books available for purchase.*** \n\n\n\nFulla Abdul-Jabbar is a writer and artist living in Brooklyn. She has performed\, screened\, and exhibited nationally and internationally at the Electronic Literature Organization\, Human Resources LA\, the Brussels Independent Film Festival\, and the Ann Arbor Film Festival. Her writing has appeared in DIAGRAM\, Bombay Gin\, Jellyfish Review\, Passages North\, Northwest Review\, Prairie Schooner\, and elsewhere. Her debut book\, Who Loves the Sun was released through Meekling Press. \n\n\n\nMika Yamamoto is a writer and teacher based in Oak Park\, IL. She has been published most recently in The Good River Review\, Thieving Magpie\, and Vagabond City. She teaches at both Oak Park River Forest High School and The School at the Art Institute of Chicago. \n\n\n\nSamara Huggins is a poet\, performer\, artist and alchemist who explores how text interacts and reacts with the body. She embeds language into hidden or undisclosed parts of handmade quilts\, tapestries\, and garments. Alongside women in her family\, she weaves\, knits\, embroiders\, dyes\, and stitches stories of ancestry\, ecology\, grief and healing. \n\n\n\nSonnenzimmer a collaboration between artists Nick Butcher and Nadine Nakanishi\, approaches graphic arts with an interdisciplinary mindset\, aiming to create new understandings that transcend specific disciplines. Their work encompasses image-making\, sculpture\, writing\, publishing\, exhibitions\, design\, music\, improvisation\, and performance\, exploring the physical and mental effects of visualization. They often discuss the concept of Graphic Arts Future\, which refers to the fusion of all human-induced media beyond conventional reception and intention. Through their experimental practice\, they aim to evoke metaphysical curiosity and encourage formats that engage with this concept. They believe that by embracing the Graphic Impulse\, we can collectively reconsider our approach to mark-making and signage\, ultimately benefiting society as a whole.Sonnenzimmer.com

SUMMARY:Feria del Libro
DESCRIPTION:El español está vivito y coleando en Estados Unidos; incluso\, el país ha escalado a la cuarta posición con mayor número de hispanohablantes en el mundo. Se habla ampliamente en el ámbito público y privado\, y no solamente por la comunidad latina. Con más de 42 millones de hablantes\, el español es el segundo idioma más hablado en Estados Unidos. Se escucha en los pasillos de las instituciones de educación superior\, mientras los poetas lo respiran\, y tanto los troqueros como las babysitters y los ruferos sueñan en español. Para muchos\, el español es una mina de oro. Aproximadamente 66.5 millones de latinos tienen un poder adquisitivo de aproximadamente de 2.5 mil billones de dólares en 2023\, pero más allá de las cifras gargantuescas\, los invitamos a reflexionar sobre el español y la literatura propia de Estados Unidos que está emergiendo de costa a costa. La Feria de Libro de Chicago se realizará del 2 al 4 de mayo de 2024 en el campus de la Universidad de Chicago en colaboración entre El BeiSmAn y la organización Hispanic and Luzo-Brazilian Student Committee.

DESCRIPTION:Join us for poetry and stories of the collective breath held by a grieving world and to celebrate Elsewhere: An Elegy with author Faisal Mohyuddin.  \n\n\n\n“Faisal Mohyuddin’s Elsewhere: An Elegy is a memory palace of rooms filled with riversongs and baited fishhooks\, where longing transforms into birds. This is a moving collection which touches on faith\, grief\, and fatherhood. It is challenging to know how to talk to our children about ‘their impossible wish for deathless tomorrows\,’ but reading Mohyuddin’s poetry encourages us to embrace this world of secrets for a moment and just listen.” — Greg Santos\, author of Ghost Face \n\n\n\nIn addition\, this event will also feature Osama Alomar\, CM Burroughs\, Matthew Kelsey\, and works by artist\,Linda Abdullah. \n\n\n\n**We ask that all in-person attendees wear masks in the event space during the program for the health and well-being of the speakers and other guests.

SUMMARY:Spirits\, Spirituality\, & Craft | Reading & Panel
DESCRIPTION:As writers\, celebrating culture through our work is as easy as sitting across the table from grandma. That ancestral influence is undeniable\, but for some it is more intentional. It can be the circulatory process that streams through the work that is produced. Whether baptized in holy water or animal sacrifice – Christianity\, Voodun\, Santeria or Sanctified\, these rituals imprint themselves in the work of the writer. The Spirits\, Spirituality & Craft reading and panel discussion will bring together three writers whose work demonstrates how ancestral influence and spiritual practice manifests itself in their writing craft. We will discuss the intention behind this effort. Is it a memory purge? Or a necessary part of their work? How do they bring in or welcome these influences into their writing space? \n\n\n\n— \n\n\n\nBios\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFAYLITA HICKS (she/they) is a queer Afro-Latinx writer\, spoken word artist\, and cultural strategist. A prolific creative and previously incarcerated artist\, Hicks’ is known for their dynamic storytelling methods and compelling narrative arcs. Using poetry\, prose\, music\, video\, and live performances—they explore the evolution of personal and national identity\, the cyclical nature of grief\, the spiritual applications of quantum physics\, decolonized eroticism/sensuality\, and manifesting personal liberation.

Patin’s prowess as a poet and a songwriter is reflected in prose that is brutal\, beautiful\, and brave.  \n\n\n\nWorking on Me is about what it means to work on oneself to heal and break patterns of harm and violence and what makes the healing necessary in the first place: all the forces beyond our control that work on us. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Author: Featured in The Guardian\, Chicago Tribune\, the Chicago Reader\, on WBEZ\, WTTW\, FoxSoul\, and on international television and radio\, Nikki Patin has been writing\, performing\, educating\, and advocating for over two decades.
