DESCRIPTION:Featuring the Chapters Retablos\, The Way Over\, Consuelo\, El Judío\, La Migra\, La Llorona\, Nothing Happens\, The Quince\, Mexican Apology\, El Segundo\, Neto\, My Right Foot\, and Jeep in the Water\nFebruary 19 – March 15\nDirected by Sheila Balter and Jim Cave \nWord for Word’s latest full production is from author & playwright Octavio Solis. Retablos is a coming of age memoir; each chapter a memory tale\, verging on fable\, which paints a dreamlike picture of life in El Paso in the 60’s and ’70’s. Drawing from his own childhood\, Solis says that he wrote these stories “to see how that skinny brown kid riding his bike out there in the desert made sense of his complicated\, deeply beautiful and troubled world.” Octaviosolis.net \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\n\n“A retablo is a devotional painting\, playwright Octavio Solis tells us. In this poignantly written\, heart-warming coming-of-age memoir\, Solis pays tribute to those cornerstone moments in his life\, negotiating borders at once personal and cultural\, with such color that the reader is left spellbound. Astonishing\, what more can I say?”\n—Greg Sarris\, author of How a Mountain Was Made and longtime Word for Word friend \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAn Evening with Octavio Solis\nJoin us on February 27. The evening’s performance of Retablos will be followed by a conversation with the author\, moderated by Greg Sarris. Both writers are longtime friends of Word for Word. Mr. Solis is a nationally renowned playwright in addition to being a prose author\, and Greg Sarris is Tribal Chairman of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria. The evening includes a reception and book signing to cap off the night. \n\n\n\n\nPURCHASE TICKETS FOR THIS EVENT

SUMMARY:Judy Halebsky & Susan Briante at East Bay Booksellers
DESCRIPTION:EAST BAY BOOKSELLERS is excited to welcome back our friends from Poetry Flash on Sunday\, March 15th at 3pm. This month we will be joined by Judy Halebsky & Susan Briante. \nJudy Halebsky’s new book of poems is Spring and a Thousand Years (Unabridged)\, was a finalist for the Miller Williams Poetry Prize. Katy Peterson says\, “Under the spell of Bashõ’s haiku\, but written in a voice entirely its own\, Judy Halebsky’s Spring and a Thousand Years (Unabridged) is the first book of poetry I’ve read in years that makes civilization look good. It makes me want to make dinner\, make love\, make noise.” She’s the author of three previous collections\, the first of which\, Sky = Empty\, won the New Issues Poetry Prize. Originally from Halifax\, Nova Scotia\, she moved to the Bay Area to study poetry. Then\, after college\, she received a fellowship from the Japanese Ministry of Culture to study Japanese literature at Hosei University in Tokyo\, She lives now with her family in Oakland and directs the low-residency MFA program at Dominican University. \nSusan Briante’s latest book of poems is The Market Wonders. Juliana Spahr said of it\, “Poetry’s conventions tend to assume that poetry does not need to bother itself with the economic machinations of something like the Dow. These conventions are wrong and Susan Briante’s The Market Wonders proves it. This is poetry that is only the richer for how it weaves the economics that shape our daily lives into it.” She’s published two previous collections\, Pioneers in the Study of Motion and Utopia Minus. She teaches in the MFA program at the University of Arizona and coordinates the writing program Field Studies Southwest\, which brings MFA students to the U.S.-Mexico border to work with community-based environmental and social justice groups. She hosts the radio program Speedway and Swan and lives in Tucson\, Arizona.

SUMMARY:Aaron Shurin at The Green Arcade
DESCRIPTION:Aaron Shurin launches his new book\, The Blue Absolute\, a collection of prose poetry that resembles hot boxes of lyrical language combusting with daily life. People move and think amidst a flurry of dots and dashes in a constant shift of perspective and action—urban and pastoral\, highly figured and fragmented\, grieving and dreaming—each poem a compressed but fluid zone of almost psychedelic intensity. The book closes with “Shiver\,” an American epic\, at once a lament for and vision of a great city on the edge: San Francisco past\, present\, and future.
