SUMMARY:Naomi Shihab Nye and E. Ethelbert Miller
DESCRIPTION:Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle Presentation — The Tiny Journalist by Naomi Shihab Nye and the little book of e by E. Ethelbert Miller  \nThe Tiny Journalist  \nInternationally beloved poet Naomi Shihab Nye places her Palestinian American identity center stage in her latest full-length poetry collection inspired by the story of Janna Jihad Ayyad\, the “Youngest Journalist in Palestine\,” who at age 7 began capturing videos of anti-occupation protests using her mother’s smartphone. Nye draws upon her own family’s roots in a West Bank village near Janna’s hometown to offer empathy and insight to the young girl’s reporting. Long an advocate for peaceful communication across all boundaries\, Nye’s poems in The Tiny Journalist put a human face on war and the violence that divides us from each other.  \nAward-winning Palestinian American poet\, essayist\, and educator\, Naomi Shihab Nye\, describes herself as a “wandering poet.” She has spent more than 40 years traveling the country and the world to lead writing workshops and inspiring students of all ages. Nye was born to a Palestinian father and an American mother and grew up in St. Louis\, Jerusalem\, and San Antonio. Drawing on her Palestinian American heritage\, the cultural diversity of her home in Texas\, and her experiences traveling in Asia\, Europe\, Canada\, Mexico\, and the Middle East\, Nye uses her writing to attest to our shared humanity.  \nNaomi Shihab Nye is the author and/or editor of more than 30 volumes of poetry\, essays\, and fiction for adults and children. Naomi Shihab Nye was a Lannan Fellow\, a Guggenheim Fellow\, and a Witter Bynner Fellow (Library of Congress).

In 2021 she was voted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.   \nNye was affiliated with The Michener Center for writers at the University of Texas at Austin for 20 years and was also poetry editor at The Texas Observer for 20 years. In 2019-2020 she was the editor for New York Times Magazine poems. She is Chancellor Emeritus for the Academy of American Poets and is Professor of Creative Writing – Poetry at Texas State University.  \nthe little book of e  \nIn the little book of e poet E. Ethelbert Miller embraces the Japanese poetic form of haiku to comment on our contemporary world in a collaboration with translator Rafi Ellenson. Haiku presented in English and Hebrew is symbolic of how language can bring people together. Miller and Ellenson have given us a book that shows how Black and Jewish relations can continue to be a beacon of hope. This book is filled with words that blossom like flowers.  \nE. Ethelbert Miller is a literary activist and author of two memoirs and several poetry collections. He hosts the WPFW morning radio show On the Margin with E. Ethelbert Miller and hosts and produces The Scholars on UDC-TV which received a 2020 Telly Award. Miller is Associate Editor and a columnist for The American Book Review.

Ethelbert Miller will be featured together in conversation during our Week Eight CLSC lecture on Thursday\, August 14\, 2025\, in the Hall of Philosophy.

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company presents the world premiere of The Witnesses (formerly titled Tell Me You’re Dying)
DESCRIPTION:By C.A. Johnson\nDirected by Jade King Carroll  \nThe Witnesses compels us to question not only if we can change but if we have time to do so while the world appears to be ending.\nInfused with C.A. Johnson’s brutal honesty\, exacting humor\, and heartfelt exploration of human relationships\, the story pulses with urgency\, vulnerability and unexpected warmth. \nWhile an apocalyptic plague rages\, five individuals unite in their weekly support group to forge a sanctuary of care and companionship. Centering on the darkly funny and wildly magnetic Millicent and her chosen family of misfits\, this play explores the undeniable physical urge for human connection. \nThis production is recommended for audiences ages 13 and older.
