I Am Writing a Biography. 1 I Am Writing a Biography. J’écris une biographie… Miriam Nichols Preface 1 Literary biography is a slippery genre. However splendid or useful individual examples of it may be, the genre itself lags behind fiction, poetry, and drama in star quality; its readership and shelf life depend as much on the prestige and currency of the subject as the skill of the biographer, and it requires a dogged willingness to stay with a single project for many years. Worse, on publication the biographer risks the ire of other scholars or sometimes living friends and relatives who don’t remember things quite the same way. Then there is the digital archive that threatens to supplant the genre altogether. 2 I have come to think of biography as a “why this and not that” kind of genre: why this writer and not that one? why recount this incident and not another? why tell a story rather than mount a digital archive? My purpose in this essay is to lay out these conundrums as I have encountered them and to explain my choices in trying to respond.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES. In solidarity and support, Megan Abbott (DARE ME) Chris Abbott (LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE; CAGNEY AND LACEY; MAGNUM, PI; HIGH SIERRA SEARCH AND RESCUE; DR.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS from the LEADERSHIP
    ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS FROM THE LEADERSHIP The New York Philharmonic’s 2019–20 season certainly saw it all. We recall the remarkable performances ranging from Berlioz to Beethoven, with special pride in the launch of Project 19 — the single largest commissioning program ever created for women composers — honoring the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Together with Lincoln Center we unveiled specific plans for the renovation and re-opening of David Geffen Hall, which will have both great acoustics and also public spaces that can welcome the community. In March came the shock of a worldwide pandemic hurtling down the tracks at us, and on the 10th we played what was to be our final concert of the season. Like all New Yorkers, we tried to come to grips with the life-changing ramifications The Philharmonic responded quickly and in one week created NY Phil Plays On, a portal to hundreds of hours of past performances, to offer joy, pleasure, solace, and comfort in the only way we could. In August we launched NY Phil Bandwagon, bringing live music back to New York. Bandwagon presented 81 concerts from Chris Lee midtown to the far reaches of every one of the five boroughs. In the wake of the Erin Baiano horrific deaths of Black men and women, and the realization that we must all participate to change society, we began the hard work of self-evaluation to create a Philharmonic that is truly equitable, diverse, and inclusive. The severe financial challenge caused by cancelling fully a third of our 2019–20 concerts resulting in the loss of $10 million is obvious.

  • JK Bloomsday Interview
    A Bloomsday Interview With Joanne Kyger in New York Trevor Carolan “I don’t think it was until I moved to Bolinas in 1969 that I really entered into a close relationship with the land around me in my writing. About the birds who live here, to this day the quail are probably my closest neighbors.” * “Poetry has a lot to do with awakening,” Joanne Kyger has noted. I came to appreciate this while teaching a humanities seminar at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. The readings included a constellation of writers associated with “San Francisco: the Athens of the American West”, a large number of whom were Buddhist-influenced. I noticed how young male students gravitated to work by Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, or Kenneth Rexroth; by contrast, women students responded strongly to the poetry and poetics of Joanne Kyger and Diane di Prima. Accordingly, I began paying closer attention to the transpacific inflections that percolate through the work of other women writers like Maxine Hong Kingston, Amy Tan, Alice Walker, Jane Hirschfield, and bell hooks. In June, 2008, Joanne Kyger was a featured speaker at The Beats In India, an Asia Centre symposium in New York. The event celebrated the journey made in 1962 by Kyger, her then-husband Snyder, and fellow American poets Ginsberg and Peter Orlovsky, and addressed ‘what drew the Beats to India and how they inspired successive generations of Americans to turn to the East for spiritual and creative wisdom’. There was a sense of historical importance about the gathering.
