SUMMARY:New Poetry & 100 Years of Ferlinghetti at Odd Mondays
DESCRIPTION:Shauna Hannibal\, Fernando Martí\, and Zack Rogow\, three poets with new collections\, read from their work and from the work of Lawrence Ferlinghetti at “New Poetry & 100 Years of Ferlinghetti\,” the Odd Mondays for April 15. Celebrate National Poetry Month and Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s first century at Folio Books\, 3957 24th St. in Noe Valley. 7pm start. Free admission and free refreshments–including birthday cake! \nHere’s more about the poets who are reading:\nShauna Hannibal is the author of Hannibal (Forklift Books\, 2017)\, her debut collection of poetry which Laura Kasischke has called “a wildly important and game-changing book by a poet whose sensibility brings us\, through poetry\, an entirely new way of seeing the world\, ourselves in it\, and the art of the poem.” She holds an MFA from Warren Wilson. She lives in San Francisco near Golden Gate Park and is working on her 2nd book while training to become a massage therapist. \nFernando Martí is a poet\, story-writer\, printmaker\, architect\, and housing activist. Originally from Ecuador\, he has been deeply involved in San Francisco’s struggles for affordable housing\, community land and climate justice since the mid-90s. His work reflects his formal training in urbanism\, his roots in rural Ecuador\, and his current residence in the heart of Empire. His poetry and prints inhabit the space between ancestral traditions of place and utopian construction in the age of catastrophic climate change. His artwork can be seen regularly on justseeds.org\, and his writing has appeared in publications as varied as El Tecolote\,Left Turn and Shelterforce\, as well as a ‘zine called Amor y Lucha. \nZack Rogow is the author\, editor\, or translator of more than twenty books or plays. His poetry collections include Irreverent Litanies; as well as The Number Before Infinity\, and Talking with the Radio. His coauthored play Colette Uncensored had a staged reading at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC\, and ran in London and San Francisco. Rogow’s blog\, Advice for Writers\, has more than 200 posts. He serves as a contributing editor of Catamaran Literary Reader. www.zackrogow.com

SUMMARY:The Diesel Readers Book Group -- In the Midst of Winter
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, April 15th\n7:00pm\n\nEast Bay Booksellers invites you to The Diesel Readers Book Group’s discussion of In the Midst of Winter by Isabel Allende\, on Monday April 15th at 7pm. \nAn instant New York Times bestseller\, In the Midst of Winter is about three very different people who are brought together in a mesmerizing story that offers “a timely message about immigration and the meaning of home” (People). \nDuring the biggest Brooklyn snowstorm in living memory\, Richard Bowmaster\, a lonely university professor in his sixties\, hits the car of Evelyn Ortega\, a young undocumented immigrant from Guatemala\, and what at first seems an inconvenience takes a more serious turn when Evelyn comes to his house\, seeking help. At a loss\, the professor asks his tenant\, Lucia Maraz\, a fellow academic from Chile\, for her advice. \nAs these three lives intertwine\, each will discover truths about how they have been shaped by the tragedies they witnessed\, and Richard and Lucia will find unexpected\, long overdue love. Allende returns here to themes that have propelled some of her finest work: political injustice\, the art of survival\, and the essential nature of—and our need for—love. \n\n** The Diesel Readers is an ongoing group\, and is open to all. ** \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nMonday\, April 15\, 2019 – 7:00pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nEast Bay Booksellers\n5433 College Avenue\n\nOakland\, CA 94618

SUMMARY:Herbert Marcuse:Philosopher of Utopia
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, Apr 15\, 2019 7:00 PM \nLocation: \nThe basement at Moe’s\n2476 Telegraph Ave.\, Berkeley \nWebsite \nHerbert Marcuse (1898-1979) was a little-known German scholar when he became one of the 20th century’s most unlikely pop stars: a celebrity philosopher. In the 1960s\, his argument for a “principled utopianism” catalyzed the ideals of a rebellious generation\, and Marcuse became an intellectual guide for activists and revolutionaries around the world. The legacy of his contribution to a radical shift of consciousness has resonated in social-change movements ever since. \nThis comics-format biography brings Marcuse’s life\, work\, and times to a new generation. From his youth in Weimar Germany and early studies with Martin Heidegger\, to his emigration from Nazi Germany along with colleagues of the Frankfurt School\, to his rise as one of its major theorists along with Theodor Adorno and Walter Benjamin\, to his status as a countercultural icon\, readers are introduced to the theories and circumstances that made Marcuse into one of the world’s most influential intellectuals. \nMentor to a young Angela Davis and often referred to as the unofficial faculty advisor to the New Left\, Marcuse’s controversial critique of the “comfortable unfreedoms” of post-WWII capitalism entered popular consciousness with the 1964 publication of One-Dimensional Man\, which sold over 100\,000 copies in its first years in print. His argument for the possibility of a more humane and sustainable world was grounded in a personal knowledge of the violence of authoritarianism\, and the risk of its resurgence. Perennially relevant\, radical\, and inspiring\, Marcuse’s concept of the Great Refusal —”the protest against that which is”—is a guide for our times. \nPRAISE \n“Nick Thorkelson’s exploration of the ideas and personality of Herbert Marcuse is exactly the sort of comic book I have longed to read. It is engaging\, artful\, and explores the world of revolutionary ideas. Books like this keep the fire going inside.”––Joe Sacco \n“I believe that Marcuse’s ideas can be as valuable today as they were fifty years ago.”––Angela Y. Davis\, from the foreword \n“Thorkelson’s graphic life of Herbert Marcuse is a riotous romp through 20th-century philosophy. The story of a man who exists at the eye of storm of ideas\, of movements and of social strategies. With workers and students on the streets of Paris once more\, Marcuse’s life and work has never been more relevant.”––Kate Evans\, author of Red Rosa: A Graphic Biography \nABOUT THE PARTICIPANTS \nNick Thorkelson is a cartoonist living in Boston. He has done cartoons on local politics for The Boston Globe and in support of organizations working on economic justice\, peace\, and public health. He is the co-author and/or illustrator of The Earth Belongs to the People\, The Underhanded History of the USA\, The Legal Rights of Union Stewards\, The Comic Strip of Neoliberalism\, and Economic Meltdown Funnies\, and has contributed to a number of nonfiction comics anthologies. He is working on a graphic novel about the end of the Sixties\, A Better World Is Possible. Nick also moonlights as a musician\, animator\, graphic designer\, and painter. \nAndrew T. Lamas teaches urban studies and critical theory at the University of Pennsylvania\, is co-editor of The Great Refusal: Herbert Marcuse and Contemporary Social Movements (Temple University Press\, 2017)\, and serves on the boards of the International Herbert Marcuse Society\, the Radical Philosophy Review\, and the Bread and Roses Community Fund.
