SUMMARY:Poets at Barnard: Airea D. Matthews
DESCRIPTION:Airea D. Matthews’s first collection of poems\, Simulacra\,
  received the 2016 Yale Series of Younger Poets Award\, chos
 en by Carl Phillips\, who writes the book “offers us the po
 em as prose story\, as an exchange of text messages with the 
 dead\, as collapsed opera\, as Tweet\, even as a possible mash-
 up of rap\, litany\, and Stein’s prosody\,” which are all w
 ays to enact “the ceaseless hunger that is the book’s th
 ematic core.” She is a recipient of a 2016 Rona Jaffe Foun
 dation Writers’ Award and an Assistant Professor of Creat
 ive Writing at Bryn Mawr College. D. A. Powell is the author
  of five collections\, including Useless Landscape\, or A Gui
 de for Boys which received the National Book Critics Circle
  Award in poetry. “No accessible poet of his generation is
  half as original\, and no poet as original is this accessibl
 e” (Stephen Burt). He is a Professor at University of San 
 Francisco. Rachel Zucker is the author of nine books\, most r
 ecently MOTHERs\, a memoir\, and The Pedestrians\, a doubl
 e collection of poetry and prose. “Her poems read like ski
 n-of-your-teeth escapes from impending disaster”\; and as m
 ediations on time\, they focus “on one of its most heartbre
 aking dilemmas: how to be in the moment when all you can thi
 nk about is the nostalgia you’ll feel for it once it’s o
 ver. Poetry as a temporal acrobatics\, outwitting distraction
 ” (Dan Chiasson). She teaches poetry at NYU and is the hos
 t of the podcast Commonplace: Conversations with Poets (and
  Other People).
