“One Whole Voice”:
A Celebration of LARB/UCR Lifetime Achievement Honorees
We just finished working on promoting an event for The Los Angeles Review of Books, titled “‘One Whole Voice’: A Celebration of LARB/UCR Lifetime Achievement Honorees.”
On February 20, 2021, the Los Angeles Review of Books (LARB), a 501(c)(3) literary nonprofit organization, were to award three groundbreaking Poets Laureate of the United States celebrating the ways in which they contribute to and change contemporary writing through their fearless originality.
This year’s virtual program included:
⬥ A special poetry reading in the round featuring the three honorees.
⬥ Tributes from poets Rigoberto González, Dean Rader, Safiya Sinclair, Jose Javier Zamora, and others.
⬥ Interview with the honorees.
⬥ Intimate conversation with the Poets Laureate.
⬥ A special Q&A segment with young, emerging poets.
… AND all attendees received a special gift book bundle featuring autographed copies of Rita Dove’s Collected Poems 1974-2004, Joy Harjo’s American Sunrise, and Juan Felipe Herrera’s Everyday We Get More Illegal mailed to their homes.
The event was generously sponsored by W.W. Norton & Co. and LARB’s Matching Grant 2020 Event Donors Ron Arias, Laura Donnelley, Kieran Setiya, Jenny Williams and Joan Henehan, and W.W. Norton & Co. and City Lights for their generous donations of books.
Here’s a short slideshow about the event’s highlights.
