SUMMARY:How to Read a Poem
DESCRIPTION:Since 2023\, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and former Poetry Editor of The New Yorker Paul Muldoon has led his extraordinary “How to Read a Poem” discussions at literary festivals and universities all over the world. At these very special gatherings\, participants meet to discuss poems published only that week in literary journals and magazines\, not just to glean their individual meanings but to reflect on where poetry as an art form has been – and where it’s going. \nFor nearly forty years\, Paul Muldoon has been Howard G. B. Clark Professor at Princeton\, teaching creative writing\, Irish literature\, songwriting and translation. He served as Oxford Professor of Poetry from 1999 to 2004 and Ireland Professor of Poetry from 2022 to 2025. His fifteen major collections of poetry\, published in America by Farrar\, Straus & Giroux\, include MOY SAND AND GRAVEL (winner of the Pulitzer Prize) and JOY IN SERVICE ON RUE TAGORE\, a New York Times Notable Book of 2024. He is the editor of many anthologies of poetry\, including\, most recently\, SCANTY PLOT OF GROUND: A BOOK OF SONNETS. \nPoems for discussion will be distributed at the session. No preparation or knowledge of poetry is necessary. The only prerequisite? An open mind. \nPresented by BOOKTHEWRITER\, Class limited to 80 participants\, running time two hours with a ten minute break. \nRegister at Humanitix\, $45 \nWe are happy to offer discounted tickets of $35 to members of the American Irish Historical Society. Please use the code AIHS

SUMMARY:Mail Club Práta
DESCRIPTION:Some of the best ideas are old ones. On Wednesday May 13th\, The American Irish Historical Society hosts the launch of The Mail Club Práta\, an analog folklore pamphlet about histories of Irish songs in America. The Mail Club Práta is the creation of literary artist and folk musician Melanie Beth Curran. The monthly mailer is Curran’s act of creative resistance and remembering\, a means to restore slowness and depth in the way historical material is experienced. The evening will feature a concert and storytelling from Curran\, a special display of musical materials from the AIHS archives\, and the launch of The Mail Club Práta itself. Attendees can expect light refreshments and are encouraged to dress up as gallantly and Irishly as they are inspired to. This will prove to be a memorable evening in a beautiful space. Newcomers to the American Irish Historical Society are encouraged to visit and explore! \nMelanie Beth Curran is a literary artist and folk musician collecting and performing the lost songs of Irish America. Her work is devoted to remembering and enshrining living traditions in the digital age\, through analog mediums like zines\, performance with banjo\, guitar and voice\, and creative approaches to folklore collection. Curran holds an MFA in Creative Writing from The New School in Manhattan and was a Fulbright research fellow to Bretagne\, France. \nwww.melaniebethcurran.com\nIG Social link: @the_melaissance
