Title	Cathy Park Hong and Joyelle McSweeney reading, Live from Prairie Lights, May 3, 2012
Creator	Hong, Cathy Park McSweeney, Joyelle, 1976-
Date Original	2012-05-03
Description	Poets Cathy Park Hong and Joyelle McSweeney read from their newest collections. Cathy Park Hong reads from Engine Empire, a trilogy of lyric and narrative poems —three distinct yet interconnected sequences— that explore the collective consciousness of fictionalized boomtowns in order to explore the mythology of prosperity. Cathy Park Hong is the author of Translating Mo'um, winner of the Pushcart Prize, and Dance Dance Revolution, winner of the Barnard Women Poets Prize. She lives in New York and teaches at Sarah Lawrence College. Joyelle McSweeney reads from Percussion Grenade: Poems & Plays. This collection explodes the twinned and dangerous notions that images are pretty, and that they land predictably. Power struggles in all contexts and the driving ever-presence of a lexicon of puissance make this a bracing read, not for the faint of heart or mind. Joyelle McSweeney is the author of four other books, including The Commandrine and Other Poems, Flet: A Novel, Nylund, and The Sarcophager. Her book The Red Bird was chosen by Allen Grossman to inaugurate the Fence Modern Poets Series in 2001. McSweeney is a co-founder of Action Books and Action, Yes, a press and web-quarterly for international writing and hybrid forms, and a contributing editor of the culture blog montevidayo.com. She holds degrees from Harvard, Oxford, and the Iowa Writers Workshop, and is an associate professor in the creative writing program at the University of Notre Dame.
