Performance-In-Conversation with Noa Fields and JJJJJerome Ellis

April 28, 2026

5 PM CST

Please join the English department & the Poetry & Poetics cluster, as part of the UNSETTLING SOUND event series, for a Performance-In-Conversation with the poet Noa Fields and the poet and performer JJJJJerome Ellis.

This year, our event series is "Unsettling Sound." Unsettling Sound foregrounds the entanglement between poetics and sound to explore the integral, esoteric, and, occasionally, uncomfortable manner in which sound contributes to and develops expressive meaning. Defining sound as vibrational and only sometimes including audio, we track the vibrations and resonances between text-based and non-text-based arts. Unsettling Sound asks: What is the sound of poetry? What makes poetry sound? What are the new and vanguard interventions in the dark matter between language and sonority? Shepherding together inquiries into text, music, translation, embodiment, performance, and materialities, Unsettling Sound stewards the development of poetic practices in sounding and listening, critically and creatively, in both orthodox and unorthodox ways.

mace dent johnson + Noa Micaela Fields

March 2, 2026

8 PM EST

In Noa Micaela Fields’s and mace dent johnson’s poetry, sound is primal; it takes precedence over meaning, choreographing our thought patterns, sometimes in stark divergence from logic and reason. Both poets foreground the iterative, transformative force of words as they bleed into one another. Meaning is reconfigured across syntactically devious arrangements. We find ourselves dancing, listening, learning language anew through its sonic radiance. This event will also be livestreamed for free on The Poetry Project's YouTube channel.

Nomi's performance for the Monday Night Series at Poetry Project will feature an access projection collaboration by alphabet artist Nat Pyper.
