Although based in the Midwest, Williams played a notable role in Bay Area literature, publishing with <strong>Compline, Hooke Press, Krupskya,</strong> and <strong>Omnidawn</strong>. From a first-generation college student at Wayne State University, to a storied 40-years as a professor at Xavier University, to the David Gray Chair of Poetry and Letters at the University at Buffalo (SUNY), Tyrone Williams made an indelible mark. We miss him dearly.</p> <p><strong>Tyrone Williams </strong>was born in Detroit, Michigan. He began his career in the English department at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1983 after completing his B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. in English at Wayne State University. A founding member of the Winton Community Free Methodist Church in Cincinnati, Williams published both literary criticism and creative work, including chapbooks, critical essays and eight books of poetry. Williams was an exemplary poet-scholar, as both a practitioner of and a leading academic expert in experimental poetry. His books and articles contributed greatly to the fields of experimental poetry and critical theory, and African American culture, drawing on a variety of sources to challenge and investigate language, history, and race. Williams was a co-editor of the critical volume,<em> Inciting Poetics: Thinking and Writing Poetry, </em>and the author of numerous chapbooks, including <em>Red Between Green</em> (2014); <em>Pink Tie </em>(2010); <em>Musique Noir</em> (2006); <em>Futures, Elections</em> (2004); <em>AAB</em> (2004); and <em>Convalescence</em> (1987). His full-length collections of poetry include <em>Stilettos in a Rifle Range</em> (2022); <em>As Iz </em>(2018); <em>Between Red and Green: Narrative of the Black Brigade</em> (2016); <em>Howell </em>(2011); <em>Adventures of Pi </em>(2011); <em>The Hero Project of the Century </em>(2009); <em>On Spec</em> (2008); and c.c. (2002). Additionally, his work appeared in numerous national magazines and journals including,<em> Callaloo, Chicago Review, Denver Quarterly, The Kenyon Review,</em> and <em>The Nation,</em> among others.</p> <p>Williams travelled extensively, giving poetry readings at venues across the country and internationally as well as presenting critical papers at numerous academic conferences. An important figure in the poetry community, he wrote innumerable reviews for books by both new and established authors, while also acting as a judge for prizes and publications and being awarded numerous literary residencies. After a long and storied 40-year career at Xavier, where he was beloved by both students and faculty alike, Williams retired and was appointed the David Gray Chair of Poetry and Letters at SUNY Buffalo in 2023. After a brief battle with cancer, he died in March 2024 in Cincinnati surrounded by friends.</p> <p>Program participants include:</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Will Alexander</strong> is a poet, novelist, playwright, philosopher, visual artist, and musician.

Foster</strong></p> <p>A discussion centered upon the newly published book</p> <p><strong>Survival Is a Promise: The Eternal Life of Audre Lorde</strong></p> <p>by Alexis Pauline Gumbs</p> <p>Published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux</p> <p><strong>A bold, innovative biography that offers a new understanding of the life, work, and enduring impact of Audre Lorde.</strong></p> <p>We remember Audre Lorde as an iconic writer, a quotable teacher whose words and face grace T-shirts, nonprofit annual reports, and campus diversity-center walls. But even those who are inspired by Lorde’s teachings on “the creative power of difference” may be missing something fundamental about her life and work, and what they can mean for us today.</p> <p>Lorde’s understanding of survival was not simply about getting through to the other side of oppression or being resilient in the face of cancer. It was about the total stakes of what it means to be in relationship with a planet in transformation. Possibly the focus on Lorde’s quotable essays, to the neglect of her complex poems, has led us to ignore her deep engagement with the natural world, the planetary dynamics of geology, meteorology, and biology. For her, ecological images are not simply metaphors but rather literal guides to how to be of earth on earth, and how to survive—to live the ethics that a Black feminist lesbian warrior poetics demands.</p> <p>In <em>Survival Is a Promise</em>, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, the first researcher to explore the full depths of Lorde’s manuscript archives, illuminates the eternal life of Lorde. Her life and work become more than a sound bite; they become a cosmic force, teaching us the grand contingency of life together on earth.</p> <p><strong>Alexis Pauline Gumbs</strong> is the author of several works of poetry and of <em>Undrowned: Black Feminist Lessons from Marine Animals</em>, which won a Whiting Writers’ Award in 2022. In 2023, she won a Windham Campbell Prize for her poetry. Her texts on Black Feminism, mothering, futurism and imagination are currently in use in Black feminist classrooms, environmental strategy sessions, Afro-futurist afterschool programs, contemporary art museums, community healing spaces and more. She lives in Durham, North Carolina.</p> <p><strong>Tonya M. Foster</strong> is a poet, essayist and Black feminist scholar. The author of <em>A Swarm of Bees in High Court</em>, the bilingual chapbook <em>La Grammaire des Os</em>; the forthcoming <em>Thingifications::Mathematics of Chaos; </em>and a co-editor of <em>Third Mind: Teaching Creative Writing through Visual Art; </em>as well as the forthcoming two-volume compendium <em>Umbra Galaxy, Umbra Reader</em>.
