SUMMARY:The City That Killed The President – A Reading By Author Tim Cloward
DESCRIPTION:The assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22\, 1963\, shocked America. Instantly\, Dallas was blamed for the killing\, labeled “the City of Hate.” In the half century since the president’s murder\, this city’s artists and writers have produced important\, if often overlooked\, work that speaks to the difficult burden of our civic shaming. \nHere are the works of poetry\, theater\, journalism\, art\, the actions of our citizens and political leaders\, all the fragments of our cultural life that address this tortured local history. The City That Killed the President is a window into the soul of Dallas\, a city reluctant to grapple with its past. \n“Tim Cloward has his nerve. The very idea of taking on the psyche of a city as rambunctious and complex—and troubled and tragic—as Dallas would be beyond the courage of most of us\, but Cloward more than rises to the challenge he sets for himself.  The City that Killed the President is a brilliant dissection of this most American of cities\, a particular kind of history in which names\, dates\, and events are merely starting points for peeling back our collective id and ego. The City that Killed the President is one of the best books you will ever read about Dallas\, but you won’t find it on the Chamber of Commerce reading list.” \nBen Fountain\, author of Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk and Devil Makes Three \n Tim Cloward is a writer/educator who lives in Dallas\, Texas. He holds a Ph.D. in Aesthetic Studies from the University of Texas at Dallas. The founder of the poetry/performance troupe Dancing Tongue\, he has also worked with Poetry Circus and Question Authority\, both acclaimed multi-disciplinary performance ensembles. His work has been seen in a number of publications and he\, along with Patty Turner and David Davis\, published the influential chapbook Three Dallas Poets in 1986. A prominent arts organizer\, he is the former board chair of the North Texas Literary organization\, WordSpace. He teaches Theory of Knowledge classes at Uplift Atlas Academy\, where he is helping establish an International Baccalaureate program for underserved urban students. The first volume of his The City That Killed the President: A Cultural History of Dallas was published by Deep Vellum Press in Sept. 2023. \n  \nRSVP
