Many thanks to the historic Grolier Poetry Book Shop for hosting a sold-out reading / release on Wednesday. MIRROR-CITY IS NOW AVAILABLE.
(It’s a really special book).
*
MIRROR-CITY is a collection of new and selected poems by Nicolas Behr - “Brasília’s poet” - who was imprisoned in 1978 in an attempt to silence him and his writing.
Behr’s work summons the spectral “braxília,” the city that Brasília could have been - incorporating an X where the city’s major arteries cross into the name itself - where the “wings” and “body” meet.
Translated by Jon Woodward and authorized by the author, MIRROR-CITY includes work ranging from the late 1970s to the present, as well as six new pieces.
Portuguese originals and English translations appear on facing pages.
Published: October 26, 2022
*
A special shout-out to James at the Grolier for his kindness and hospitality - and also to Jon and Sam for the inspiring post-reading conversation. And of course, Matt Opal, who always helps to make good things happen.

Please come out to this event, at San Antonio Culture Commons Gallery, 115 Plaza De Armas. I may not be there as I am waiting on a wheelchair to be approved, and surgery, possibly on both feet is highly likely. However, my art is up and that of all of the participating artists. Please come to hear the wonderful poetry and music. The exhibit will run through November. I hope to be at other events later in the year. I am not supposed to be walking at all right now. Crossing fingers my wheelchair gets approved and my apartment complex makes changes to make my unit accessible. In the meantime, I hope everyone who goes out has a great time. #sanantonio #blackart #blackartists #blackpoets #blackhistorymonth #disabledartists #poetryreading #music #spokenword #poetrynight #artexhibit #art #sanantonioartists #artistsoninstagram #poetry #freetothepublic #contemporaryart #contemporaryblackart https://www.instagram.com/p/Co0lqMaum0h/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I had a wonderful time at the reading with Aisha Sharif and Melody S. Gee at the Writers Place, co-hosted by Kundiman Midwest. Special thanks to Maryfrances Wagner of TWP and Helene Achanzar of Kundiman Midwest for helping make this reading possible! I also enjoyed a quick but lovely dinner at Chingu with the readers and a couple friends beforehand. So much gratitude for my co-readers and everyone who came out!

The poem I demolished in the video. I'm so sorry.
I have a feeling that my boat
Has struck, down there in the depths,
Against a great thing.
And nothing
Happens! Nothing...Silence...Waves...
--Nothing happens? Or has everything happened,
and are we standing now, quietly, in the new life?
Poem by Juan Ramón Jiménez

In this episode of I Thought You'd Like to Know, Dr. Lawrence Hopperton participates in a Poetry Reading at Tyndale University - Table for Three and Such Common Stories (February 13, 2023)
Table for Three: New and Selected Poems, 1982-2021
These poems, written over forty years, illustrate a spiritual landscape evolved from both secular and profane perspectives, from church windows to a handful of dirt, love and grief to redemption at the edges of our world. They invite readers into an engagement with the world – an engagement both thoroughly spiritual and sensuous. Personal experiences and associations become anchorage on this journey with the spirit of God (Spiritus Dei) and the spirit of creation (Spiritus Mundi).
Table for Three by Larry Hopperton | En Route Books and Media
Such Common Stories
There is one story only. It’s woven out of personal experiences and memories, the worlds that we have actually known and loved. The poems in Such Common Stories connect to our individual stories, so that the experiences they present become our own and we become the storytellers of our own multifaceted lives.
