SUMMARY:In Conversation: Nicole Callihan & Zoë Ryder White
DESCRIPTION:Longtime poetry collaborators\, Zoë Ryder White and Nicole Callihan will read from their collaborative works and discuss their process. The two began collaborating in 1999 and have two published chapbooks–A Study in Spring\, winner of the Baltic Writing Residency Prize (2015) and Elsewhere\, winner of the Sixth Finch Chapbook Prize (2020)–as well as many other works in progress.About collaborating with Zoë\, Nicole says\, “There is no one I can write with like I write with Zoë. When we’re in the heat of a project\, it’s absolutely electric\, and I find myself checking my phone a thousand times a day to see if she’s written back. It’s like the highest form of conversation through verse and image\, sound and confession\, music and magic.” \n\n\n\nZoë [adds]… “Writing with Nicole is like a return to the primordial soup. A sort of willful stepping away from the conscious mind together\, while at the same time (lightly!) holding the reins of the runaway world\, in all its biology and industry. I think we share a similar sense of deep curiosity and delight in the word’s weirdness. Whether it’s a poem or a letter (with a real stamp!) or a text\, When N. writes\, I always want to write back.” \n\n\n\n\n\n  Get Tickets\n  Get Tickets on Eventbrite\n  \n\n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWinner of the 2023 Tenth Gate Prize and a 2023 Alma Award\, Nicole Callihan has two recent poetry collections: chigger ridge (The Word Works 2024) and SLIP (Saturnalia 2025).

SUMMARY:In Conversation: M. Soledad Caballero & Catharina Coenen
DESCRIPTION:We welcome M. Soledad Caballero and Catherina Coenen to The Notebooks Collective to read from their new books.

Because they came to creative writing later in their professional lives\, they also hope to discuss what creative writing offers to the writing in their fields of literary studies and biology\, and the ways interdisciplinary writing and thinking intersect with creative writing. \n\n\n\n\n\n  Get Tickets\n  Get Tickets on Eventbrite\n  \n\n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nM.

SUMMARY:In Conversation: Traci Brimhall & Marianne Kunkel
DESCRIPTION:Frederico Garcia Lorca said “a poet must be a professor of the five senses and must open doors among them.” And what better to way to be a teacher of the senses than by looking at food as a source of inspiration? Marianne and Traci have both baked lines full of flavor and memory into their poems and plan to talk about how food and poems can both influence and have symbiotic overlap. From meals that are portals to personal history\, to the ingredients both food and poems need to make something memorable\, Traci and Marianne will discuss when they started connecting the two creative processes—cooking and writing—and how it has shaped their work. They will also talk about issues around food insecurity and in what ways art can directly address social issues like food access. \n\n\n\n\n\n  Get Tickets\n  Get Tickets on Eventbrite\n  \n\n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nTraci Brimhall is a professor of creative writing at Kansas State University.

SUMMARY:In Conversation: Lisa Allen & Melissa Fite Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Two poets who have crossed paths in readings and at conferences and have found that they are writing about something that shows up differently for each of them — maternal estrangement. This conversation will cover how our work evolves as we age and how writing such a viscerally personal experience can also be universal.  \n\n\n\nLisa writes: “We both write about maternal estrangement–and though our lived experiences are different\, that burning desire of what brings us to the page feels very familiar.” And Melissa adds\, “…so many of them poems now in [Lisa’s] beautiful book\, spoke to a subject I was only just starting to write about\, a subject that feels like it’s all I write about now: maternal estrangement. When Lisa asked if I would pair with her for this conversation\, I couldn’t say yes quickly enough. We have so much to say. “ \n\n\n\n\n\n  Get Tickets\n  Get Tickets on Eventbrite\n  \n\n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nLisa Allen\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLisa Allen (she/her) is the author of It’s What I’ve Got Left (Lily Poetry Press).

SUMMARY:In Conversation: Katherine D. Oldmixon Garza & Octavio Quintanilla
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to bring together two poets and artists from Texas\, Katherine D. Oldmixon Garza and Octavio Quintanilla. Octavio’s Book of Wounded Sparrows and Katherine’s Life Afterlife / A Book of the Hours have shared themes of grief\, loss\, and mourning. Katherine writes about the two books as singing together\, or rather\, “By sing\, I might mean keen\, not as a wild wailing but sometimes as a wild ceremony\, sometimes as a ceremony in the wild.” We can then add an additional dimension: their multiple languages and modalities used to produce their work. Octavio adds\, “I am interested to see how our work converges and diverges in terms of how we write grief\, joy\, closure.” \n\n\n\n\n\n  Get Tickets\n  Get Tickets on Eventbrite\n  \n\n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nKatherine Durham Oldmixon Garza\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKatherine Durham Oldmixon Garza\,Ph.D.\, M.F.A.\, is the author of Life Afterlife / A Book of the Hours (3: A Taos Press\, 2024) and the chapbook Water Signs (Finishing Lines Press\, 2009).

SUMMARY:A Notebooks Reading for Abortion Access
DESCRIPTION:In Honor & Memory of Jennifer Martelli\n\n\n\nOn June 24\, on the 4-year anniversary of the Supreme Court Dobbs v Jackson decision\, we will gather to honor late poet Jennifer Martelli in a reading to support abortion access. Jennifer was a fierce advocate for women’s rights and in particular\, the right to have an abortion. It feels like it’s even more important today\, on this anniversary\, when the State decided that women no longer had bodily autonomy\, to come together to stand in our anger\, our determination\, and our will to keep fighting for rights for everyone. \n\n\n\nThe Supreme Court’s decision to all but remove access to abortions and other medical care puts people in preventable life-or-death situations. The Eastern Mass Abortion Fund\, operating in the state that Jennifer called home\, makes abortion accessible to anyone who needs one. And since the Dobbs decision\, the need for the Fund’s services have quadrupled. \n\n\n\nFeaturing these lovely readers (in no particular order): Marjorie Tesser\, Tyler Mills\, Cindy Veach\, Dzvinia Orlowsky\, Ellen Austin-Li\, Marcus Myers\, Leah Umansky\, Dorsía Smith Silva\, Brandel France de Bravo\, Richard Hoffman\, Hannah Larrabee\, Wendy Wisner\, Anne-Marie Oomen\, Sarah Kain Gutowski\, Cynthia Marie Hoffman\, Danika Stegeman\, Katherine Durham Oldmixon Garza\, José Angel Araguz\, Lisa Allen\, and Rebecca Kirk Connors.  \n\n\n\nThe reading is free to attend. All are invited to celebrate Jenn and her life. We only ask that if you are able\, you make a contribution to the Eastern Massachusetts Abortion Fund. We hope to raise $1000 for abortion access — please help us reach our goal! \n\n\n\n\nDonate Now\n\n\n\n\n  Get Tickets\n  Get Tickets on Eventbrite\n  \n\n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Jenn\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJennifer Martelli (1962 – 2025) joined us at The Notebooks Collective on November 13\, 2022 with fellow Thursday Poet\, Kathi Aguero. She was a fierce advocate for poetry and received fellowships from The Virginia Center for the Creative Arts\, Monson Arts\, and the Massachusetts Cultural Council. Her work appeared in The Academy of American Poets Poem-A-Day\, Poetry\, Best of the Net Anthology\, Braving the Body Anthology\, Verse Daily\, Plume\, The Tahoma Literary Review\, and elsewhere. She is the author of Psychic Party Under the Bottle Tree (Lily Poetry Review Books)\, as well as The Queen of Queens\, which won the Italian American Studies Association Book Award and was shortlisted for the Massachusetts Book Award. Jennifer Martelli was co-poetry editor for MER. She is dearly missed. \n\n\n\nAbout Eastern Massachusetts Abortion Fund\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Eastern Massachusetts Abortion (EMA) Fund works to reduce social and economic barriers to abortion care and bodily autonomy through movement building\, advocacy\, education\, and direct aid. \n\n\n\nThey envision a world where every person has the right to bodily self-determination\, where every person has the right to determine their own future. \n\n\n\nhttps://secure.actblue.com/donate/notebooks

SUMMARY:The Shape of Attention
DESCRIPTION:Exploring Form in Poetry and Prose\n\n\n\nIn this two-hour generative workshop\, we’ll explore form as a practical and imaginative tool for writers of poetry\, prose\, and hybrid work. We’ll spend some time discussing how a piece’s shape changes what becomes possible on the page as well as work with prompts that approach form as a way to direct attention\, create pressure\, interrupt habit\, and invite surprise. \n\n\n\nParticipants will move through a series of low-pressure writing exercises designed to generate new material. This workshop is open to poets\, prose writers\, hybrid writers\, and anyone curious about how structure can help us think\, feel\, remember\, and discover.  \n\n\n\nWhat to have ready: Something to write with or on\, whether that’s a notebook\, laptop\, tablet\, or phone. Participants may also bring a short draft\, fragment\, image\, object\, or memory they’d like to write from\, but no prior preparation is required. \n\n\n\n\n\n  Get Tickets\n  Get Tickets on Eventbrite\n  \n\n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout José Angel Araguz\, Ph.D\n\n\n\nJosé Angel Araguz\, Ph.D. (he/him/él) is the author most recently of the lyric memoir Ruin & Want (Sundress Publications) as well as the poetry collections Rotura (Black Lawrence Press) and La esperanza espera (Valparaiso Ediciones).

SUMMARY:In Conversation: Dorsía Smith Silva & Vincent Toro
DESCRIPTION:Dorsía Smith Silva (In Inheritance of Drowning\, CavanKerry\, 2024) and Vincent Toro (Hivestruck\, Penguin 2024) will explore why their writing in these precarious times is essential\, especially as their writing embodies protest poetry. They will discuss protest writing as a transformative experience and means to address US colonialism\, Latinx identity\, and the intersections between Puerto Rico\, ecopoetics\, capitalism\, neoliberalism\, and environmental and economic destruction. As they share how their poetry can lead to collective action and empowerment\, Dorsía and Vincent will also address some contemporary racial\, social\, and political injustices that many marginalized communities confront. The conversation will end with a focus on the power and importance of protest poetry. \n\n\n\n\n\n  Get Tickets\n  Get Tickets on Eventbrite\n  \n\n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Poets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDorsía Smith Silva is the author of In Inheritance of Drowning (CavanKerry\, 2024)\, which was a category finalist for the National Indie Excellence Award\, Eric Hoffer Award\, Whirling Prize\, and Da Vinci Eye Award\, reviewed by Publishers Weekly\, and recommended by Ms. Magazine.

SUMMARY:Revision as Listening
DESCRIPTION:How to Return to a Draft with Curiosity\n\n\n\nRevision can sometimes feel like correction\, judgment\, or pressure to make a piece “work.” In this two-hour workshop\, we’ll reframe revision as a practice of listening: a way of returning to a draft with curiosity about what is already alive within it. \n\n\n\nThrough brief craft discussion\, guided reflection\, and hands-on revision exercises\, we’ll practice noticing a draft’s existing energies: recurring images\, unanswered questions\, shifts in voice\, moments of surprise\, places of pressure\, and possibilities for structure. Together\, we’ll ask what a draft is already trying to do and what it may be asking for next. \n\n\n\nThis class is open to poets\, prose writers\, hybrid writers\, and anyone with writing they want to revisit. Participants will leave with practical revision strategies\, a renewed relationship to at least one draft\, and a gentler\, more attentive way to continue revising on their own. \n\n\n\nWhat to have ready: Please bring one draft\, fragment\, or unfinished piece you are willing to revisit during class. Shorter pieces will be easiest to work with in the session (approximately 1–5 pages is ideal) but any genre or stage of draft is welcome. Participants may also bring a notebook or document for exercises. \n\n\n\n\n\n  Get Tickets\n  Get Tickets on Eventbrite\n  \n\n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nJosé Angel Araguz\n\n\n\nJosé Angel Araguz\, Ph.D. (he/him/él) is the author most recently of the lyric memoir Ruin & Want (Sundress Publications) as well as the poetry collections Rotura (Black Lawrence Press) and La esperanza espera (Valparaiso Ediciones).

SUMMARY:In Conversation: Nicky Beer & Catherine Pierce

SUMMARY:In Conversation: Bernadette Geyer & Sylvia Fox
DESCRIPTION:These are writers who relocated to Berlin and made it their home. Both published books in 2025 (Bernadette Geyer’s What Haunts Me and Sylvia Fox’s Little Fish) and are highly influenced by ancestors and family histories – the stories passed down through our different cultures. Plan to hear about how they each grapple with these topics in their work\, along with what it is like to put together a collection. Also\, because their respective publishers are in the US\, they’ll talk about the challenges of the publishing process when one is located in a different country than the publisher. \n\n\n\n\n\n  Get Tickets\n  Get Tickets on Eventbrite\n  \n\n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Bernadette Geyer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBernadette Geyer is the author of the October 2025 release\, What Haunts Me (April Gloaming Publishing) and a previous collection\, The Scabbard of Her Throat. She also edited My Cruel Invention: A Contemporary Poetry Anthology\, published by Meerkat Press. Her writings have appeared in Bennington Review\, Barrow Street\, Poetry Ireland Review\, Westerly\, Oh Reader\, and elsewhere. Bernadette writes in multiple genres\, based on what the subject tells her it wants to be. She lives across from one of Berlin’s many lakes and is obsessed with cormorants and cranes. \n\n\n\nSocial Media Handles: Instagram and Bluesky @bernadettegeyer \n\n\n\nAbout Sylvia Fox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSylvia Fox is a multi-genre Brazilian-American writer. Her work moves between the mythic and the everyday\, echoing with folklore and mysticism\, the weight of memory\, and the ways grief lingers in the body. Sylvia was born in Oregon and moved to Texas as a child\, and movement across landscapes has always been an important part of her personal mythology. She grew up listening to family stories in Portuguese and English\, stories of crossings and hauntings\, and of the past slipping through the cracks of the present. Her work speaks to that inheritance. Sylvia holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas\, and currently lives in Berlin\, Germany. Her debut novella-in-verse\, Little Fish\, was published by Blue Cactus Press in March 2025. Her work has appeared in Palette Poetry\, stadtsprachen magazin\, The Acentos Review\, and elsewhere. \n\n\n\nSocial Media Handles: Instagram @fox.tales
