Kabat is both a stylist and a temporal magician. She cultivates a perspective that is as ethical as it is aesthetic because it provides a way of understanding ourselves not as main characters\, but as dynamic collaborators with all that has happened\, is happening\, and will happen.” – Adrian Shirk\, author of Heaven Is a Place on Earth \nAbout the Book \n“1845. The sky is blue\, yet all is brown. I picture the scene from overhead: a silvered steel of violence\, blood\, beer\, whiskey\, and mutton. High\, skidding clouds skip with excitement\, eager to see what unfolds below. They cheer on the scene where men in dresses march.” \nA rebellion\, guns\, and murder. When Jennifer Kabat moves to the Catskills in 2005\, she has no idea it was the site of the Anti-Rent War\, an early episode of American rural populism. Prompted to leave London following a mysterious illness that seems to be caused by life in the city itself\, she finds in these ancient mountains—at once the northernmost part of Appalachia and a longtime refuge for New Yorkers—a place “where the land itself holds time.” \nShe forges friendships with her new neighbors and explores the countryside on logging roads and rutted lanes\, finding meadows dotted with milkweed in bloom\, saffron salamanders\, a blood moon rising over Munsee\, Oneida\, and Mohawk land. As the Great Recession sets in and a housing crisis looms\, she supports herself with freelance work and adjunct teaching\, slowly learning of the 1840s uprising\, when poor tenant farmers fought to redistribute their landlords’ vast estates. In the farmers’ socialist dreams\, she discovers connections to her parents’ collectivist values\, as well as to our current moment. Threaded with historical documents\, the natural world\, and the work of writers like Adrienne Rich and Elizabeth Hardwick\, Kabat weaves a capacious memoir\, where the past comes alive in the present. \nRich with unexpected correspondences and discoveries\, this visionary and deeply compassionate debut gives us a new way of seeing and being in place—one in which everything is intertwined and all at once.

Whether in the form of overtly racist rhetoric and aggressive trade actions\, or the more buttoned down but equally antagonistic efforts to oppose Chinese interests abroad\, the US has made clear that it has no interest in giving up its position as global hegemon. This seemingly endless cycle of nationalism\, jingoism\, and reactionary politics on both sides of the Pacific suggests a downward spiral that could plausibly result in catastrophic military confrontation. \nEli Friedman teaches in the Department of Global Labor and Work at Cornell University. His most recent book is *The Urbanization of People: Development\, Labor Markets\, and Schooling in the Chinese City*. \nKevin Lin writes about labor and capitalism in China. \n*China in Global Capitalism*forcefully makes the case that workers and socially marginalized people in *both* the US and China must oppose our rulers’ claims that they have our best interests in mind as they ratchet up their rivalry. Rather\, if we’re to avert nuclear calamity\, we must oppose imperialism in all its forms\, and regardless of its source and rhetoric.

She is also currently spending a year walking from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and will be in Ithaca as part of that walk. This event is going to be a mix of conversation and practice\, all of it sitting around the question guiding her walk: what does it mean to live on this land in a good way – together. This is not an idealistic question\, but a deeply practical one embedded with 500+ years of colonial and racial violence and so much resistance\, reclamation and remembering. This question holds in its heart the fact of genocide\, of climate destruction\, and of increasing surveillance technologies that depend on eugenic profiling to determine who fits and who doesn’t and also the fact that within a week of closing down capitalism in light of COVID\, wolves were spotted walking through Minnesota cities. Raffo’s work is grounded in healing justice and her work in Minneapolis has included being part of healing justice and abolition strategies.

Does making a list into a poem sound like cheating? It’s possible that poems you remember most are based on lists\, whether you detected them or not. Begin with Major Jackson’s “Why I Write Poetry”… Utilizing countless forms\, voices\, and shapes\, a list can really make your topic pop off the page and perform. The list is a surprising way to illuminate what’s at stake in your subject. Sometimes lighthearted\, sometimes profound\, a list poem can hook your reader in a compelling\, unforgettable\, and imminently accessible way. Sharing examples from poets Ellen Bass\, Tracy K. Smith\, Kwame Dawes\, Oliver de la Paz\, Diane Seuss\, Allison Joseph\, Chen Chen\, Molly Fisk\, Walt Whitman\, and more\, Ithaca Poetry Center director and published poet Wren Tuatha will share their favorite list poems and support participants in starting their own dynamic poems using this flexible craft strategy.
