SUMMARY:Newton Free Library presents:  An Evening with author Nate Marshall
DESCRIPTION:This program is presented in partnership with the Chelmsford Public Library. Please register here. \nJoin Nate Marshall\, writer\, rapper and educator for a reading from his recent collection\, Finna (2020). \nDefinition of finna\, created by the author: fin·na /ˈfinə/ contraction: (1) going to; intending to [rooted in African American Vernacular English] (2) eye dialect spelling of “fixing to” (3) Black possibility; Black futurity; Blackness as tomorrow \nThese poems consider the brevity and disposability of Black lives and other oppressed people in our current era of emboldened white supremacy\, and the use of the Black vernacular in America’s vast reserve of racial and gendered epithets. Finna explores the erasure of peoples in the American narrative\, asks how gendered language can provoke violence and finally\, how the Black vernacular\, expands our notions of possibility\, giving us a new language of hope: \nnothing about our people is romantic\n& it shouldn’t be. our people deserve\npoetry without meter. we deserve our\nown jagged rhythm & our own uneven\nwalk towards sun. you make happening happen.\nwe happen to love. this is our greatest\naction. \nNate Marshall is the author and editor of numerous works including Finna\, Wild Hundreds\, The BreakBeat Poets: New American Poetry in the Age of Hip-Hop\, and the audio drama Bruh Rabbit & The Fantastic Telling of Remington Ellis Esq. He teaches creative writing and literature at Colorado College. Nate was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago. \nRegistration will remain open until the program start time. Login information will be emailed upon registration.
