SUMMARY:Grant Jarrett
DESCRIPTION:Writer\, ghostwriter\, editor\, musician\, and occasional songwriter Grant Jarrett shares his spectacular new novel\, The Half-Life of Remorse. When two vagrants meet on the streets of Muncie\, Indiana\, they are both unaware that their paths crossed years before. Chic\, crude and uneducated\, is convinced that Sam is nothing more than a harmless lunatic\, and Sam\, emotionally scarred and psychologically traumatized by events long past\, regards Chic as just another denizen of the street. But Chic has spent his adult life trying to purge his soul of the brutal crime he committed as a teenager?the same botched burglary that resulted in the deaths of Sam’s wife and son. Meanwhile\, Sam’s daughter Claire is still unable to give up hope that her father might someday reappear. When these three lives converge\, the puzzle of the past gradually falls together\, but redemption commands a high price\, and what is revealed will test the limits of love and challenge the human capacity for forgiveness.

SUMMARY:Prison University Project - Open Line
DESCRIPTION:The Prison University Project extends an educational lifeline to people who have been historically excluded from the arts and humanities. Our students\, like most people in prison\, come from some of the nation’s most vulnerable communities. Over 70% of students are men of color\, and many are the first in their family to earn a degree. The Prison University Project was awarded the 2015 National Humanities Medal by President Obama\, in recognition of the organization’s impact and leadership in supporting educational opportunities for the incarcerated. \nOpenLine features essays\, poetry\, and artwork from Prison University Project students\, amplifying their voices and humanizing the image of incarcerated people in the public imagination. OpenLine strives to change public perceptions of currently and formerly incarcerated people\, playing a critical role in bringing about a more rational and humane discussion about criminal justice reform in the United States. The 2016 edition of OpenLine\, titled Live: Performances in Print celebrates student performances from an Open Mic event hosted by the Prison University Project.

SUMMARY:Poetry Flash Presents Cal Freeman + Janet Hamill
DESCRIPTION:Cal Freeman’s latest book of poems is Brother of Leaving. Alan Michael Parker says\, “Cal Freeman’s a poet who measures the world and constructs\, at angles\, a whole shining city\, a self-portrait he calls Detroit. With a bardic poignancy Brother of Leaving hums the sorrowful anthem of capitalism and its discontents. Pretty as a trash fire\, and sad as a mirror\, these are poems to remember.” He is the author of the chapbook Heard Among the Windbreak\, and his second full-length collection\, Fight Songs\, is forthcoming in the fall. \nJanet Hamill’s new book of poems is Knock. Patti Smith says\, “Janet Hamill’s Knock is intensely visual and invigorating…This is an ambitious work\, rich with unexpected juxtapositions—Casanova and the Huns\, Rothko and Goat’s Head Soup. A bounteous world into which we’re drawn by one of our true poets.” Among her six published books of poetry and fiction are Nostalgia of the Infinite\, Lost Ceilings\, Body of Water\, and The Eternal Café. Widely published in literary journals\, her work has been anthologized in Up Late: American Poetry Since 1970\, Bowery Women Poems\, and elsewhere. A strong proponent of spoken word\, she’s read at The Poetry Project at St. Marks Church\, CBGB’s Gallery\, Seatle’s Bumbershoot Festival\, Patti Smith’s Meltdown Festival in London\, and many other festivals and venues. In collaboration with the band Lost Ceilings she’s released two CDs of spoken word and music\, Flying Nowhere and Genie of the Alphabet.
