- 1:00 PM in Rooms 202 and 209: Workshops for The Voice of Philadelphia featuring Niama Williams and Rodney
Camarce. For more information contact Talia Stinson: talia2@sas.upenn.edu.
Niama Leslie Williams
Poetry works because it bypasses the intellect and goes straight for the gut, the soul, what lies underneath tame and ordinary ideas about the world. It takes you out of your commonplace feelings and arouses, touches something deeper, something you feel only in your solar plexus when someone surprises you and knocks the wind, momentarily, out of your sails. That gasp for breath, that gasp of recognition, that'ss what you're aiming for as a poet. Join Niama Williams for two Saturday workshops that will explore the crafting of poetry that startles and stuns, one session focusing on poetry of the inner self and the other on our response to the information onslaught that is our exterior world.
Niama Leslie Williams is a poet and scholar concerned with the survival of all creatures, and this orientation influences her teaching of literature, creative writing and composition. She is a doctoral candidate in African American Studies at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA who was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. She possesses degrees in comparative literature and professional writing from Occidental College and the University of Southern California, respectively.In addition to attendance at the Squaw Valley Community of Writers, Ms. Williams has participated in the Hurston/Wright Writers Week and Flight of the Mind. Her work has appeared in Poets & Writers Magazine (May/June 1999, p. 5), Dark Eros: Black Erotic Writings, Spirit & Flame, Catch the Fire: A Cross-Generational Anthology of Contemporary African-American Poetry and Beyond the Frontier. She has recently had work in Tattoo Highway #6 (out of CSU Hayward), P.A.W. Prints (based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), and in an anthology edited by Terry Wolverton, Mischief, Caprice, and Other Poetic Strategies (Red Hen Press). Her poem “Jasmine” earned an Honorable Mention in the Writer's Digest 73rd Annual Writing Competition (2004) and “Night People earned second prize in the annual Euphoria competition (2003).
Of her purpose for writing Ms. Williams says: "I frequently do not err on the side of caution in my writing, but I believe in the purpose of it: to speak to the things others do not want to speak of, with the hopes of reaching that one woman, or her lover, or her friend, who refuses to deal with her pain, who hides from it, who doesn't think she'll survive it. That's the audience I hope to reach."
Rodney Camarce
This workshop will explore the root causes of "why people are poor" and examine structural racism and how poetry can define our engagement in this process re-humanization and reclaimation.
Rodney is a poet, muralist, and community organizer. He believes that art can be a transformative tool for social justice and has used his talents in various capacities to facilitate peace. Through his work he exposes the ways in which people have internalized messages that have kept them from self-actualization. He has produced CD's, t-shirts, stickers, and posters, and is the founder of the MANTRA arts kollective.

- 5:30 PM: Writers House Planning Committee ("Hub") Meeting and Gathering. (For more information about the "hub" or to RSVP,
write to wh@writing.upenn.edu.)
- 7:30 PM in the Arts Cafe: Word.doc presents "The Lament, Hidden Key to Effective Listening," a workshop with
Barry Bub, M.D..
Listen to a recording of this event.
A frequent complaint of patients is that they do not feel listened to and understood. Is there something specific that is not being heard and understood? Laments are pervasive in medicine, from the complaining patient to the disgruntled employee to the overworked physician and his/her long-suffering mate and children. The narrative clues that someone is lamenting are frequently subtle and easily overlooked - important since once recognized the appropriate response is both counterintuitive and effective. For healthcare professionals this might well mean the difference between burnout and practice satisfaction. In this experiential, interactive workshop, participants will examine what constitutes a lament; learn how to hear and recognize laments both within themselves and others; as well as learn effective techniques of responding to them. Emphasis will be placed on avoiding commonly made mistakes in listening. Using a combination of didactic teaching, role-play, and interactive exercises, experienced workshop leader Barry Bub MD will draw on medical, gestalt psychotherapy and chaplaincy skills to create a powerful learning experience.
Physician/psychotherapist/educator/author, Barry Bub, M.D. is a member of the AMA physician health initiative commitee. A family physician for almost 30 years, he retrained in Gestalt, psychotherapy, and chaplaincy and now innovates new concepts in holistic medicine. Dr. Bub teaches and confidentially mentors physicians on issues of communication and self care. He has taught nationally for such organizations as the American Psychiatric Association, AMA, AAPP, NICABM and at numerous hospitals, medical schools and retreat centers. He is author of ProcessMedicine.com and Communication Skills that Heal (Radcliffe Medical Press, 2005).
Word.doc, Penn's student-run and conceived narrative medicine group, aims to gather students, graduate students, faculty, and anyone who is interested in writing and narrative medicine to discuss and experience the ways in which medicine, narrative, literature and art can inform and broaden one another. For more information or to join, contact Kerry Cooperman at kerryc@sas.upenn.edu.

Interactive classes for adult learners interested in performing the products of their creative writing. The 2-hour sessions are designed to help facilitate the exploration of each individual’s unique voice as a writer and performer. Emphasis is placed upon honing and expanding the complex range of human emotions and motivations.

These workshops are geared towards individuals interested in public speaking and performance. People interested in adding a creative component to their lives are also welcome to come explore. Sessions are all designed to bridge and optimize the auditory, visual, kinesthetic and instinctual learning styles of the participants.

Daviná began staging choreo-poems as a student at Macalester College in 1992 and continues to create works for the stage and community organizations. In 2002 she received a Leeway Foundation Window of Opportunity Grant to travel to Johannesburg, South Africa to conduct poetry workshops with youth educators focusing on the AIDS epidemic.

Her interest in writing and performing is based upon the belief that art is liberating and healing. Daviná intends for her work to be a catalyst in exposing, exploring and eradicating the root causes of social inequity so that we all may actualize our full potential.
Her writings, workshops and performances are all predicated upon the belief that creative works should explore the complexity of our humanity. Through the creative process we can experience our most sacred and powerful selves and share those gifts with others as a testimony and call to action.

Poetry works because it bypasses the intellect and goes straight for the gut, the soul, what lies underneath tame and ordinary ideas about the world. It takes you out of your commonplace feelings and arouses, touches something deeper, something you feel only in your solar plexus when someone surprises you and knocks the wind, momentarily, out of your sails. That gasp for breath, that gasp of recognition, that'ss what you're aiming for as a poet. Join Niama Williams for two Saturday workshops that will explore the crafting of poetry that startles and stuns, one session focusing on poetry of the inner self and the other on our response to the information onslaught that is our exterior world.
Niama Leslie Williams is a poet and scholar concerned with the survival of all creatures, and this orientation influences her teaching of literature, creative writing and composition. She is a doctoral candidate in African American Studies at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA who was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. She possesses degrees in comparative literature and professional writing from Occidental College and the University of Southern California, respectively.In addition to attendance at the Squaw Valley Community of Writers, Ms. Williams has participated in the Hurston/Wright Writers Week and Flight of the Mind. Her work has appeared in Poets & Writers Magazine (May/June 1999, p. 5), Dark Eros: Black Erotic Writings, Spirit & Flame, Catch the Fire: A Cross-Generational Anthology of Contemporary African-American Poetry and Beyond the Frontier. She has recently had work in Tattoo Highway #6 (out of CSU Hayward), P.A.W. Prints (based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), and in an anthology edited by Terry Wolverton, Mischief, Caprice, and Other Poetic Strategies (Red Hen Press). Her poem “Jasmine” earned an Honorable Mention in the Writer's Digest 73rd Annual Writing Competition (2004) and “Night People earned second prize in the annual Euphoria competition (2003).
Of her purpose for writing Ms. Williams says: "I frequently do not err on the side of caution in my writing, but I believe in the purpose of it: to speak to the things others do not want to speak of, with the hopes of reaching that one woman, or her lover, or her friend, who refuses to deal with her pain, who hides from it, who doesn't think she'll survive it. That's the audience I hope to reach."

Interactive classes for adult learners interested in performing the products of their creative writing. The 2-hour sessions are designed to help facilitate the exploration of each individual’s unique voice as a writer and performer. Emphasis is placed upon honing and expanding the complex range of human emotions and motivations. We will examine the questions of how society impacts why/how we create and what we hope to achieve with our craft. These workshops are geared towards individuals interested in public speaking and performance. People interested in adding a creative component to their lives are also welcome to come explore. Sessions are all designed to bridge and optimize the auditory, visual, kinesthetic and instinctual learning styles of the participants.
Daviná Stewart graduated cum laude from Temple University earning a Bachelor of Arts degree and the Shirley Graham Du Bois Award of excellence in African American Studies. Daviná began staging choreo-poems as a student at Macalester College in 1992 and continues to create works for the stage and community organizations. In 2002 she received a Leeway Foundation Window of Opportunity Grant to travel to Johannesburg, South Africa to conduct poetry workshops with youth educators focusing on the AIDS epidemic. In 2003, through Daughters of the Diaspora, Daviná produced and performed her performance art piece TRANSFORMERS at the Philadelphia FRINGE Festival.In addition to traveling with TRANSFORMERS, Daviná is a teaching artist and facilitates performance element workshops. As a teaching artist she has shared her craft within a vast array of organizations such as: The National Civil Rights Museum and the Blues Cultural Center in Memphis, Tennessee; Action AIDS Network in Johannesburg, South Africa; The People's Emergency Center Shelter and the Philadelphia Young Playwrights’ Festival in Philadelphia as well as Penumbra Theatre in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Her interest in writing and performing is based upon the belief that art is liberating and healing. Daviná intends for her work to be a catalyst in exposing, exploring and eradicating the root causes of social inequity so that we all may actualize our full potential.
Her writings, workshops and performances are all predicated upon the belief that creative works should explore the complexity of our humanity. Through the creative process we can experience our most sacred and powerful selves and share those gifts with others as a testimony and call to action.

- 6:00 PM: RESCHEDULED!! "When Civil Rights was only a dream": a roundtable discussion of Robert Penn Warren's taped
interviews for Who Speaks for the Negro? featuring Kristina Baumli, Ancil George, Anthony Szczesiul, and Paul Hendrickson. With many thanks to the Penn
Library, and co-sponsored by The Center for Programs in Contemporary Writing.
Starting in 1964, Robert Penn Warren conducted a series of taped interviews with major civil rights leaders and literary figures of the time, including Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Medgar and Charles Evers, Ralph Bunche, James Baldwin, Ralph Ellison, Richard Wright, and others. These interviews formed the basis of Warren's 1965 book, Who Speaks for the Negro?, an exploration of the Civil Rights movement from the point of view of a "reformed racist." After four years of negotiation with Yale's Beinecke Library, Penn's Van Pelt library has acquired copies of these tapes, never before listened to by anyone. Join us for this historic discussion of Robert Penn Warren's interviews!
Kristina Baumli is a graduate student in Penn's Department of English. Her dissertation deals with the literary work (history and fiction) of Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt, and W.E.B. DuBois, and the ways it became translated into film and popular literature. She has written several articles on Robert Penn Warren and race.
Ancil George is library liason for Africana Studies at Penn's Van Pelt Library, and largely responsible for the acquisition of these historic tapes.
Paul Hendrickson is a senior lecturer in Creative Writing in the Department of English at the University of Pennsylvania. His most recent book, Sons of Mississippi, a study of the legacy of racism in the families of seven Mississippi sheriffs of the 1960s, won the 2004 National Book Critics Award (as well as numerous other awards). Before coming to teach in Penn's English Department, he was a staff feature writer at the Washington Post from 1977-2001. Among other awards, he has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. His other books include Seminary: A Search, Looking for the Light: The Hidden Life and Art of Marion Post Wolcott, and The Living and the Dead: Robert McNamara and Five Lives of a Lost War.
Anthony Szczesiul is an associate professor at the University of Massachussetts Lowell. His book Racial Politics and Robert Penn Warren's Poetry (UP of Florida, 2002) received a "Choice Outstanding Academic Title" award in 2003. His articles have appeared in journals such as American Transcendental Quarterly, Walt Whitman Quarterly Review, Mississippi Quarterly, Style, and European Journal of American Culture.
