Mandy Kahn, Writer-in-Residence

Picture
Mandy Kahn is a poet and peace advocate based in Los Angeles. Kahn is the author of two collections of poems--Glenn Gould’s Chair and Math, Heaven, Time—both from London-based poetry press Eyewear. Her work has been included in the Best American Poetry anthology series, and in former Poet Laureate Ted Kooser’s syndicated column American Life in Poetry. In addition to writing books, Kahn regularly presents immersive poems: live works of literature that incorporate performance, audience participation and musical technique. In 2019, Kahn presented a program of immersive and interactive poems at the Getty Museum; her Getty presentation was called “Gateways to Peace,” and was performed by a cast of seven actors and three opera singers. She teaches a free, weekly online class on the nature of peace for the Philosophical Research Society called Peace Class, and regularly presents peace-building concerts on the grounds that features poetry, classical music and immersive performance. She is the subject of Courtney Sell’s feature-length documentary Peace Piece: The Immersive Poems of Mandy Kahn, which was released by Indie Pix, and is available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, and elsewhere, and is also available as a DVD.

Projects

Picture
Join us for Peace Class, where participants gather to learn how to use the substance of peace to build a peaceful mind, a peaceful life and a peaceful humanity.The building of world peace is the building of inner peace, and so your global contribution, as a participant in this peace circle, is profound.
Inner peace is not inaction—it is preparation for the perfect action. It is necessary preparation for the action that will build a humanity that honors all beings, that honors the land, that recognizes all bodies of water as holy—one in which all are perfectly free, and by way of that freedom, are themselves, and by way of that selfhood, glow with peace.

This free online class will meet every Wednesday; drop in for one class or for the full series. RSVP here
