This episode of “Literary Arts: The Archive Project” features highlights from the first week of the 2020 Portland Book Festival, presented by Bank of America. Listen to excerpts from longer discussions. Evette Dionne and Anne Helen Petersen discuss burnout, politics, and the unique pressures on millennials; poets Hafizah Geter, Justin Phillip Reed, and moderator Ashley Toliver explore displacement, violence, myth and memory in their collections; and Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Kawai Strong Washburn, with John Freeman talk environmental justice and the inseparableness of the climate crisis and economic inequality.

The Portland Book Festival (running now through November 21, 2020) presents a diverse range of writers who have recently published novels, story collections, works of nonfiction and poetry. There are over 100 writers in the festival this year and they hail from all over the country. Some are among our most famous writers at work today, and some publishing their first book. All are accomplished artists with powerful ideas and stories that can illuminate our understanding of ourselves and our world.

Bio:

Evette Dionne is a journalist, pop culture critic, and magazine editor. She’s the author of “Lifting As We Climb: Black Women’s Battle for the Ballot Box,” and she currently serves as the editor-in-chief of Bitch Media. Evette writes extensively about pop culture through the lenses of race, gender, and size for a number of print and digital publications, including NBC News, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Time, the New York Times, the Guardian, SELF, and Harper’s Bazaar.

John Freeman is the editor of Freeman’s, a literary annual published by Grove Press. He has written several books of nonfiction including, “How to Read a Novelist” and “Dictionary of the Undoing,” as well as two collections of poems, “Maps” and “The Park.” The former editor of Granta, he is now Artist-in-Residence at NYU and executive editor of The Literary Hub. Between 2014 and 2020, he edited a series of anthologies on inequality, concluding with “Tales of Two Planets,” which focuses on the climate crisis and global inequality. Freeman’s work has been translated into more than 20 languages and appears in The New Yorker, The Paris Review, and Zyzzyva. He lives in London.

Born in Zaria, Nigeria, Hafizah Geter is the author of “Un-American” (Wesleyan University Press, 2020) and an editor whose poetry and prose have appeared in The New Yorker, Boston Review, Los Angeles Review of Books, and Longreads, among others. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.

Aimee Nezhukumatathil is the author “World of Wonders,” an illustrated essay collection, as well as of four books of poetry, most recently, Oceanic, winner of the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters Award. Other awards for her writing include fellowships and grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Mississippi Arts Council, and MacDowell. Her writing appears in Poetry, the New York Times Magazine, ESPN, and Tin House. She serves as poetry faculty for the Writing Workshops in Greece and is professor of English and Creative Writing in the University of Mississippi’s MFA program.

A former senior culture writer for BuzzFeed, Anne Helen Petersen now writes her newsletter, Culture Study, as a full-time venture on Substack. Petersen received her PhD at the University of Texas at Austin, where she focused on the history of celebrity gossip. Her previous books, “Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud” and “Scandals of Classic Hollywood,” were featured on NPR, in Elle, and the Atlantic. Her latest book is “Can’t Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation.” She lives in Missoula, Montana.

Justin Phillip Reed is an American poet, essayist, and amateur bass guitarist whose preoccupations include horror cinema, poetic form, morphological transgressions, and uses of the grotesque. He is the author of two poetry collections, “The Malevolent Volume” (2020) and “Indecency” (2018), both published by Coffee House Press. Born and raised in South Carolina, he participates in vague spirituality and alternative rock music cultures and enjoys smelling like outside. He is the 2019-2021 Fellow in Creative Writing at the Center for African American Poetry and Poetics at the University of Pittsburgh.

Ashley Toliver is the author of “Ideal Machine” (Poor Claudia, 2014) and “Spectra” (Coffee House Press, 2018).
