When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollisch’s memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBI’s collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Eva’s mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Eva’s childhood experience on the Kindertransport.

On this week’s Side B, Elizabeth shares the brilliance of contemporary poet Hanif Abdurraqib. Also from Columbus, Ohio, Hanif is a well lauded poet, essayist, and curator of excellent playlists. This episode explores Hanif’s poem And What Good Will Your Vanity Be When The Rapture Comes which deals personally with loss and the reflection of our limited time here on earth. There is commentary on how potent Hanif’s writing is, both in this poem & his poetry collections, and his ability to make epic life questions somehow digestible. A poet who can distill loss and grief while remaining visceral, as though you were reading his diary. Elizabeth shares more intimately about her own personal losses, praises the idea of being forced to stay present, and waxes poetic about how even in grief we seek out loving others. “What this poem offered me... was this conversation starter for what does loss look like for you? Because it wrecks me. But God do I want to share that with the people that I still love with the people who are still here.” - Elizabeth Ellson Timestamps: 00:00:36 Poem Reading (Elizabeth) 00:05:10 Author Info 00:11:51 Elizabeth’s Relationship to the Poem 00:21:24 Pause / Poem Reading (Elizabeth) 00:30:12 Reflection & Invitation to Write Us Poem & Links: And What Good Will Your Vanity Be (Poem) 68to05 (Hanif’s Music Essays) Object Of Sound (Hanif’s Podcast) @nifmuhammad | Instagram @NifMuhammad | Twitter On Being | Poetry Unbound Podcasts Where to find our host Elizabeth: @ellsonelizabeth | Twitter Where to find us: @iofferpoetry | Instagram @iofferpoetry | Twitter iofferpoetry@gmail.com | iofferpoetry.com Produced & Edited by John Campione: Campiaudio.com | @campiaudio campiaudio@gmail.com Music @zacharymanno | Art @sammycampioneart…
In this week’s Side B, Elizabeth brings us the poem Unending Love by Rabindranath Tagore. Tagore’s notable influence on 20th century Indian literature is made all the more impressive by his being the first non-European to earn a Nobel Prize in Literature, in 1913. Unending Love is a poem about how universal our emotional landscapes can be, remembrance of the shy sweetness of meeting, and the merging of all love through song and poetry. It is a perfect piece for I Offer Poetry, a chance to explore how poetry gives everyone a voice, whether writer or reader. This episode flaunts November birthdays, the deep abiding friendship of Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, and Elizabeth’s love for commas. Come listen to a piece of poetry Elizabeth found while Wikipedia diving and see how she rounds out the episode celebrating her close friends. “That's what this poem right now, in this moment in my life, represents. This idea that we can be so loved and so seen by friends. That that is what a beautiful numberless love is, is the amount of love that I feel from the friends in my life.” - Elizabeth Ellson Timestamps: 00:00:58 Poem Reading (Elizabeth) 00:02:58 Author Info 00:04:52 Elizabeth’s Relationship to the Poem 00:16:27 Pause / Poem Reading (Elizabeth) 00:21:38 Reflection & Invitation to Write Us!

Another first for the podcast; Concert Deconstruction. Elizabeth has invited a wonderful musician friend to dissect lyrics as poetry after attending a concert and getting to experience their live performance. Introducing Lou Mitchell, a singer songwriter from California who spent the majority of her childhood either in the dirt or out on the delta. Like any other small-town kid, she couldn’t get out of there fast enough. She spent the majority of her twenties trying to blend in with the city only to realize she’ll always have a little more dirt on her shoes than the rest. Lou started writing music right out of high school, mostly using it as an outlet as she ran in circles trying to find her place in the industry. She took a surprising turn back to her country roots and immediately felt at home within her music as it called on the most authentic version of herself. In this week’s episode Lou and Elizabeth sing the praises of Brandi and her brilliant band. In terms of witnessing their performance, there is much commendation of the excellent musicianship of the entire group and fawning over the joy emanating from Brandi herself. Related to the lyrics themselves there is a great deal of discussion over how romantic relationships age and the honor it is to have a human safe space. Lou dives deep on how the song is not a standard structure and therefore lends itself to poetry so innately. Elizabeth crosses her fingers that writer Phil Hanseroth intentionally included a couplet in the song’s ending. Although Elizabeth slips up once or twice and calls Lou by her full first name, Lauren, she is thrilled to celebrate the release of Lou’s first single. Newly available on Apple Music and Spotify, 'Wholesome' is a country song for those who are still finding themselves and accepting with grace and enthusiasm that they might just be really good at makin’ dumb decisions. “[The lyrics are] written in four separate parts… and it's sort of out of the format that I'm used to writing in and that on the radio we're used to listening to, because [typically] you start with a verse and then pre chorus, chorus, and it's sort of in this structure that we're a little bit confined to. This song is so beautiful because it's just like, here's the first part of the story and the second and the third, and then we're going to come back and the fourth is the same. Lyrically the same as the first stanza, but by the time the song is over, it means so much more and has a different meaning. So I think that just the way that they broke the convention was really what stood out to me.” - Lou Mitchell Timestamps: 00:00:11 Guest Introduction 00:01:23 Lyric/Poem Reading (Lou) 00:02:57 Author Info 00:05:19 Lou’s Relationship to the Lyrics/Poem 00:15:56 Pause Lyric/Poem Reading (Elizabeth) 00:23:15 Reflection & Offering 00:25:58 Outro / Sample Lou’s First Single Poem & Links: The Story (Music Video) The Story (Lyrics) The Eye (Music Video) I.O.P.

In our second Side B episode host Elizabeth Ellson dives into a brief but emotionally packed poem by Carol Ann Duffy. This episode focuses on the pain, and considers the possible pleasures, of being in a long distance relationship. There is exploration of the poet's use, or lack thereof, of tenses and how much of a shift that makes in the longevity of both the poem and the love. In her very musically enthusiastic way Elizabeth ties in a band, this time the Local Natives, and how their song sparked the memory of finding a poem that related to long distance. “She's imagining the barriers in the landscapes between herself and her love. And even with those barriers, and the barriers of language, she says, ‘I'm going to try.’ There's this attempt to say, what does it mean to love you on the other side of this wide night?” -Elizabeth Ellson Timestamps: 00:00:29 Poem Reading (Elizabeth) 00:01:54 Author Info 00:04:20 Elizabeth’s Relationship to the Poem 00:11:32 Pause / Poem Reading (Elizabeth) 00:14:51 Reflection & Invitation to Write Us!

Hi, I’m Elizabeth Ellson, host of I Offer Poetry and I believe poetry should be as accessible as music. I don’t understand every song that’s ever been written. If I don’t understand a song, I listen to it a couple of times. I investigate it. This is an investigation into poetry and I welcome you to explore with us the idea that everyone can offer poetry. Much like music, we may associate a poem with one specific phase of our lives. The poem can instantly bring us back, or if it’s a new find, perhaps revive a feeling or shine light in a dark moment. I’m hosting people from all walks of life to tell the story behind what a poem means to them. I’m asking for the stories that make us fall in love with words. There may be episodes that get existential, or engage your inner activist, or maybe make you feel a little flustered; ultimately we’re here to experience how a poem becomes the words a heart holds on to. For me, there’s nothing more hardcore than vulnerability. At I Offer Poetry, we’re a little bit linguistic, a little bit rock and roll. @iofferpoetry | Instagram @iofferpoetry | Twitter iofferpoetry@gmail.com Produced & Edited by John Campione @campiaudio campiaudio@gmail.com Music @zacharymanno | Art @sammycampioneart…
