There seems to be more and more focus on how fast we can get children to achieve the next milestone or move to the next stage, without enough reflection on the goals of that race. What is being lost in the process? What does it mean to be a child today? What do we conceive childhood to be and how do we keep hold of these core values?

The purpose of this conference is to create a space to address these important questions in light of some of the pressing concerns of our moment in time. By doing so, we hope to reaffirm the importance of childhood in its own right.

In this reading and craft talk, Miller Oberman will read from and discuss poems from his new book Impossible Things (Duke UP, October 22, 2024). This book investigates themes of masculinity, trans identity, and grief, and engages through erasure poetry with an unpublished memoir written by the poet's father. This reading and talk will focus on the pleasures and challenges of working in a hybrid form, and the artistic opportunities that can arise when things don't work out at all as we planned.

Miller Oberman is the author of Impossible Things, forthcoming from Duke University Press, 2024 and The Unstill Ones, Princeton Series of Contemporary Poets, 2017. He has received a number of awards for his poetry, including a Ruth Lilly Fellowship, the 92Y Discovery Prize, a NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship, and Poetry magazine’s John Frederick Nims Memorial Prize for Translation. Poems from Impossible Things have appeared in The New Yorker, Poetry, The Hopkins Review, Poem-a-Day, and Foglifter. Poems from The Unstill Ones appeared in Poetry, London Review of Books, The Nation, Boston Review, Tin House, and Harvard Review. Miller is an editor at Broadsided Press, which publishes visual-literary collaborations and teaches at and serves on the board of Brooklyn Poets. He teaches writing at Eugene Lang College at The New School in New York. Miller is a trans Jewish anti-Zionist committed to the liberation of all. He lives with his family in Queens, New York.
