From the organizers: Laufey (pronounced lāy-vāy) is a 24-year-old, Los Angeles-based singer, composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist whose jazz songs are about young love and self-discovery. Raised between Reykjavík and Washington, D.C. with annual visits to Beijing, the Icelandic-Chinese artist grew up playing cello as well as piano and became hooked on the jazz standards of Ella Fitzgerald after digging through her father’s record collection. In 2020, while still a student at Berklee College of Music, Laufey released her debut single “Street by Street,” which went on to top the Icelandic radio charts. Following the release of her 2021 Typical of Me EP, Laufey was named Best New Artist in Jazz and Blues at the Icelandic Music Awards and hosted her own show on BBC Radio 3/BBC Sounds. Her debut full-length Everything I Know About Love, debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Alternative New Artist Album chart, and the lead single “Valentine” peaked at #1 on the Spotify Jazz Chart. In 2022 Laufey was the most streamed jazz artist on Spotify, with 425 million streams across all platforms. Joining Laufey will be special guest Adam Melchor.

We learn a lot when we enter the perspective other people and even objects of the natural and unnatural world. This class will discuss a series of persona poems…written in the voice of the “other”…in order to arrive at a new and deeper understanding of others’ experience. Pulitzer Prize winner Louise Gluck has an entire book, "The Wild Iris", in which the poems are all written in the voice of plants. The purpose of our session will be to practice entering into another’s experience and searching for a deeper meaning that we can apply to own lives. Both poets and prose writers can benefit from this experience.
