SUMMARY:Patty Seyburn & Dean Rader
DESCRIPTION:Patty Seyburn and Dean Rader read from their new poetry collections\, Threshold Delivery and Self-Portrait as Wikipedia Entry \nAbout Threshold Delivery \nThreshold Delivery takes a lyrical look at how we approach the death of our loved ones – and how we confront the various thresholds in our lives. These poems guide the reader through ritual\, tradition\, and mystical interpretations of how and why we mourn\, and how we conduct our lives after knowing grief. Though referencing Jewish tradition\, these poems ask the reader to confront their own strategies and observance. They call upon pathos\, personal history and humor\, confronting the everyday with no shortage of joy\, irony\, and bafflement. Poems range from short personal meditations and anecdotal narratives to associative flights of imagination and winding explorations\, replete with historical oddities and popular culture. Densely musical and voice driven\, poems take the reader on journeys through personal and family history\, mapping the movement of the heart and mind through life’s most challenging moments. A series of poems\, on the surface about Mah Jongg\, look at interweaving cultural histories and how the social world affects our behavior\, while asking us to consider what we inherit\, what we bring with\, and what we pass down\, as we “draw and discard.” \nAbout Self-Portrait as Wikipedia Entry \nWikipedia articles are never finalized. In Dean Rader’s energized and inventive new book\, the poet considers identity of self and society as a Wikipedia page–sculpted and transformed by the ever-present push and pull of politics\, culture\, and unseen forces. And\, in the case of Rader\, how identity can be affected by the likes of Paul Klee’s paintings and the characters from the children’s stories about Frog and Toad. Rader’s cagey voice is full of humor and inquiry\, warmly inviting readers to fully participate in the creation.

SUMMARY:Happy Endings: I Can't Thank You Enough
DESCRIPTION:Gratitude is the moment. But we’re kind of bad at it\, right? Like\, whenever someone says\, “we should go around and say one thing we are thankful for.” I always say\, “this meal?” But *being* thanked feels so boss. So we’re asking our writers to meditate on people who helped them in big ways. And by the end of the night we’ll all feel like pumpkin pie on the inside.\nSee you there\, Sunbeams ♥ \n_____ \nHAPPY ENDINGS is a monthly reading series that showcases new writing and wants to shine a little sun on your soul.\nWhat’s gonna happen? Five writers will come with a piece they’ve prepared in response to a monthly prompt. A panel of judges will be selected from the audience\, and that panel will pick a winner!\n$10/Pay what you can \nWe’re thinking about scale\, my little Sunbeams. How does the size of a place\, a person\, or a feeling effect us?? Our cast of five v different and interesting writers will tell us just that! With\, likely\, the most joyous of conclusions.
