SUMMARY:Nikky Finney: Thomas Robinson Prize for Southern Literature
DESCRIPTION:Mercer University’s Spencer B. King Jr. Center for Southern Studies will award the 2022 Thomas Robinson Prize for Southern Literature to renowned poet\, professor and author Nikky Finney. \nThe prize will be presented April 23 at 1 p.m. in the Presidents Dining Room inside the University Center on the Macon campus. \n“Words come and go. But the word that remains the great shark in the Atlantic Ocean\, that is my life\, is the word ‘Southerner.’ This word that fits and begins me\, that also knows how to camouflage\, deep dive and create its own myth\, while also possessing the right historical teeth for the futuristic job of writing\,” said Finney. “I read southern writers as a girl poet. They became the nexus of humanity for me. I learned the true altitude of southern worlds from Ernest Gaines and Yusef Komunyakaa then took off on my own trail. To be invited to stand with these former Thomas Robinson honorees\, as well as all the others of the past 10 years\, those who have engaged and wrestled with this complicated land\, sea and air is truly an extraordinary moment in my life.” \nFinney was born by the sea in South Carolina and raised during the Civil Rights\, Black Power and Black Arts movements. She has been a faculty member at Cave Canem summer workshop for African American poets; a founding member of the Affrilachian Poets\, a particular place for poets of color in Appalachia; poet and professor for 23 years at the University of Kentucky; and visiting professor at Berea and Smith colleges. \nIn her home state of South Carolina\, she involves herself in the day-to-day battles for truth and justice while also guiding both undergraduates and MFA students at the University of South Carolina\, where she is the John H. Bennett Jr. Chair in Creative Writing and Southern Letters\, with appointments in both the Department of English Language and Literature and the African American Studies Program. \n“Nikky Finney writes powerfully and rhapsodically about the experiences\, memories\, families and communities of Black people living in the U.S. South\,” said Dr. Davis A. Davis\, associate director of the Spencer B. King Jr. Center for Southern Studies. “Her poems explore the beauty and the sorrow found in experiences and objects\, and they celebrate the stories of people who have survived and achieved. We are immensely proud to present her with the Thomas Robinson Prize.” \nFinney’s work includes the arenas of Black girl genius unrecognized\, Black history misplaced and forgotten\, and the stories of women who prefer to jump instead of ride the traditional tracks of polite and acceptable society. In her full body of poetry and storytelling\, she explores the whispers and shouts of sexuality\, the invisibility of poverty in a world continually smitten by the rich and the powerful\, the graciousness of Black family perseverance\, the truth of history\, the grace and necessity of memory\, as well as the titanic loss of habitat for all things precious and wild. \nShe won the PEN American Open Book Award in 1996 and the Elizabeth O’Neill Verner Award for the Arts in South Carolina in 2016. She edited Black Poets Lean South\, a Cave Canem anthology (2007)\, authored On Wings Made of Gauze (1985)\, Rice (1995)\, Heartwood (1997)\, The World Is Round (2003)\, and Head Off & Split\, winner of the 2011 National Book Award for Poetry. Her work\, in book form and video\, is on display in the inaugural exhibition of the African American Museum of History and Culture in Washington\, D.C. \nHer latest collection of poems\, Love Child’s Hotbed of Occasional Poetry\, was released in April 2020 from TriQuarterly Books/Northwestern University Press.

SUMMARY:“One\, No One and One Hundred Thousand.” Guise and disguise in the character piece
DESCRIPTION:I believe that identity is a fluid that flows between diversity and uniqueness. It changes and adapts depending on the events and context. For its unpredictable and changing nature\, the “character piece” is one of the composers’ favorite devices for finding\, embracing\, transforming\, or hiding their identity through music. This program proposes some of these examples. It starts with a set of preludes by Louis Ballard\, a 20th-century Quapaw-Cherokee composer. He embedded his Native idiom in the atonal Western language\, trying to fuse two irreconcilable worlds. Then\, I will perform a selection of preludes by Claude Debussy\, who has always firmly rejected the Impressionist label that musicians and historians often attempt to put on his music. Next\, a set of four pieces by Clara Wieck smash the quite sexist and condescending attitude of those who see her as only a composer influenced by the men in her life—her husband\, then Brahms\, or even Chopin—but somehow not capable of originality and uniqueness herself. In the end\, Carnaval by Robert Schumann shows that identity is ultimately a parade of masques we decide to wear like colorful dresses—to play hide-and-seek with the secret code that defines our authentic individuality. I hope you enjoy the music\, whether you will recognize a bit of yourself in one\, none\, or in all the pieces presented. \nThis performance will take place in Neva Langley Fickling Hall in the McCorkle Music Building on Mercer’s Macon Campus. If unable to attend this performance it will be live streamed on Facebook.
