SUMMARY:Get Lit #61 (Music by: TBA)
DESCRIPTION:12–15 writers reading new work + live music + beer made on site + tacos just down the street: pure magical Get Litness. \nWe’re headed into our 5th consecutive year at Ale Industries as we celebrate writers taking risks and reading never-before-read work (rough drafts/debuts) within a 3-minute time limit + live music. All ages are welcome. Emceed by Abe Becker. \nDoors open at 7:00 PM; show starts at 7:30 PM sharp! Suggested donations of $10-25 will be kindly requested at the door\, though no one will be turned away for lack of funds (NOTAFLOF). Donate ahead of time via the Eventbrite ticket link on this event! \nGet beer. Get tacos. Get lit. \nThis month’s performers: TBA \nMusic by: TBA \nNomadic Press Safe Space Statement \nWhite supremacy and white supremacist-capitalist values permeate this country\, including every state\, county\, city\, and political persuasion. This includes the Bay Area. Illustrations of this range from the more obvious neo-nazi hate groups to all-white reading lineups\, white terrorist shootings to labeling racial equity work in the literary community as censorship\, mass incarceration to the voices most often published. Nomadic Press unequivocally stands against all iterations of white supremacy. \nWe are works in progress\, continually doing the work of internally dismantling white supremacist values that have been inherited by virtue of being in the US. Simultaneous with this internal work\, Nomadic Press utilizes a racial equity lense (as proposed by Race Forward) to dismantle white supremacy within publishing and the literary communities in which we work. We are not perfect\, and we are always trying to be better. \nNomadic Press events are active\, real-time safe spaces for those who have been intentionally silenced and marginalized\, and we will work to ensure that the marginalized continue to take their rightful place in our communities. \nDirect and timely non-violent communication and de-escalation techniques will be utilized to privately call in instances of racism\, transphobia\, homophobia\, ableism\, or misogyny whether in the content of one’s reading or in one’s interactions with members of the community. If\, after being called in privately for a mediation\, a community member is unwilling to acknowledge and address the harm they have caused\, we will protect the safety of this space by revoking a reader’s access to the microphone. We encourage community members to come to us if someone has violated these guidelines away from the microphone. If the situation warrants (i. e.\, instances of sexual predation\, violence\, or threats of violence)\, we will make the information public to inform our communities of the present danger. \nWe are communities in progress. We must be better\, always\, and we ask that we work together to ensure that the safety of our most vulnerable members is prioritized above all else. \nRead more about our safe space process here: www.nomadicpress.org/safespaceprocess \nPoster by: Jevohn Tyler Newsome

SUMMARY:On Inhumanity: Dehumanization and How to Resist It
DESCRIPTION:In conversation with John Kaag \nHarvard Book Store’s virtual event series welcomes DAVID LIVINGSTONE SMITH—Professor of Philosophy at the University of New England and author of Less Than Human: Why We Demean\, Enslave and Exterminate Others—for a discussion of his latest book\, On Inhumanity: Dehumanization and How to Resist It. He will be joined in conversation by JOHN KAAG\, author of Sick Souls\, Healthy Minds: How William James Can Save Your Life—available for purchase here. \nContribute to Support Harvard Book Store\nWhile payment is not required\, we are suggesting a $3 contribution to support this author series\, our staff\, and the future of Harvard Book Store—a locally owned\, independently run Cambridge institution. In addition\, by purchasing a copy of On Inhumanity\, you support indie bookselling and the writing community during this difficult time. \nAbout On Inhumanity\nThe Rwandan genocide\, the Holocaust\, the lynching of African Americans\, the colonial slave trade: these are horrific episodes of mass violence spawned from racism and hatred. We like to think that we could never see such evils again—that we would stand up and fight. But something deep in the human psyche—deeper than prejudice itself—leads people to persecute the other: dehumanization\, or the human propensity to think of others as less than human. \nAn award-winning author and philosopher\, Smith takes an unflinching look at the mechanisms of the mind that encourage us to see someone as less than human. There is something peculiar and horrifying in human psychology that makes us vulnerable to thinking of whole groups of people as subhuman creatures. When governments or other groups stand to gain by exploiting this innate propensity\, and know just how to manipulate words and images to trigger it\, there is no limit to the violence and hatred that can result. \nDrawing on numerous historical and contemporary cases and recent psychological research\, On Inhumanity is the first accessible guide to the phenomenon of dehumanization. Smith walks readers through the psychology of dehumanization\, revealing its underlying role in both notorious and lesser-known episodes of violence from history and current events. In particular\, he considers the uncomfortable kinship between racism and dehumanization\, where beliefs involving race are so often precursors to dehumanization and the horrors that flow from it. \nOn Inhumanity is bracing and vital reading in a world lurching towards authoritarian political regimes\, resurgent white nationalism\, refugee crises that breed nativist hostility\, and fast-spreading racist rhetoric. The book will open your eyes to the pervasive dangers of dehumanization and the prejudices that can too easily take root within us\, and resist them before they spread into the wider world. \nPraise for On Inhumanity\n“This book is firm but gentle\, wise but accessible. Its reflections on our worst habits of politics are phrased in such a way that they allow us to see what better habits might be.” —Timothy Snyder\, Yale University\, author of On Tyranny \n“This brilliant and powerful book is a philosophically sophisticated and prophetically courageous treatment of dehumanization\, especially in regard to race. It is timely and needful in our monstrous times! Don’t miss it!” —Cornel West\, Professor of the Practice of Public Philosophy\, Harvard University \n“On Inhumanity is a powerful exploration of the processes and consequences of dehumanization. Concerning himself with violence and the processes that motivate the extermination of ‘lesser beings\,’ Smith pens a much-needed treatment of the constantly reemerging brutality that is seemingly endemic to the human condition . . . Simply put\, On Inhumanity is a most appropriate confrontation with the illusions and political powers that produce sub-humanity in the 21st century.” —Tommy J. Curry\, University of Edinburgh\, author of The Man-Not

SUMMARY:Greil Marcus
DESCRIPTION:discussing the subject of his new book \nUnder the Red White and Blue: Patriotism\, Disenchantment and the Stubborn Myth of the Great Gatsby \npublished by Yale University Press \n———- \nhis is a virtual event that will be hosted by City Lights on the Crowdcast platform. You will need access to a computer or other device that is capable of accessing the internet. If you have not used Crowdcast before\, you may consider referencing Getting Started with Crowdcast. \n———- \n(Click Here) to make reservations in the near future \nEvent is free\, but reservations are required \n———- \nPurchase the book (HERE) \n———- \nA deep dive into how F. Scott Fitzgerald’s vision of the American Dream has been understood\, portrayed\, distorted\, misused\, and kept alive \nRenowned critic Greil Marcus takes on the fascinating legacy of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. An enthralling parable (or a cheap metaphor) of the American Dream as a beckoning finger toward a con game\, a kind of virus infecting artists of all sorts over nearly a century\, Fitzgerald’s story has become a key to American culture and American life itself. \nMarcus follows the arc of The Great Gatsby from 1925 into the ways it has insinuated itself into works by writers such as Philip Roth and Raymond Chandler; found echoes in the work of performers from Jelly Roll Morton to Lana Del Rey; and continued to rewrite both its own story and that of the country at large in the hands of dramatists and filmmakers from the 1920s to John Collins’s 2006 Gatz and Baz Luhrmann’s critically reviled (here celebrated) 2013 movie version—the fourth\, so far. \nGreil Marcus has written many books\, including Mystery Train\, Lipstick Traces\, The Old\, Weird America\, and The History of Rock ‘n’ Roll in Ten Songs. With Werner Sollors he is the editor of A New Literary History of America. He was born in the Middle West\, in San Francisco and lives in Oakland\, CA. \nAdvance praise for Under the Red\, White\, and Blue \n\n“Greil Marcus is one of our greatest living cultural critics. Not only is this a wildly original essay on one of America’s most revered novels—it’s also a fitting capstone to his oeuvre.”—James Miller\n\n\n\n“Now more than ever\, we need to think long and hard about our collective national fantasies. There’s no one better suited to this task than Greil Marcus.”—David Treuer\, author of The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee\n\n\n“With history\, with narrative flourish\, and with thoughtfully woven connective tissue\, Greil Marcus takes The Great Gatsby and gives it a newer\, richer life well beyond the one it has already lived.”—Hanif Abdurraqib\, author of Go Ahead in The Rain: Notes to A Tribe Called Quest \n\n\n“Greil Marcus’s prose has an electric wondering urgency; the artworks under description crackle and glow\, illuminating whole landscapes of history and culture. This method has never found a better home than Gatsby. The result kept me up all night.”—Jonathan Lethem\, author of The Ecstasy of Influence\n\n\n\n“Under the Red White and Blue is a soaring\, roaring song of a book. The pretext is The Great Gatsby\, but the value comes in riding along as Marcus beats back into the past and the fate of America.”—David Thomson\, author of The New Biographical Dictionary of Film\n\n\n\n“Astute\, challenging\, and far-reaching.”—Kirkus Reviews\, starred review\n\n\n\n“[Marcus’] smart\, singular book gives us invigorating new ways to think about Fitzgerald’s iconic novel.”—Kevin Canfield\, San Francisco Chronicle

SUMMARY:July Westhale Reading + Book Launch w/ TC Tolbert
DESCRIPTION:Here’s an opportunity to pause and reflect while listening to two powerful\, rad\, queer poets on Thursday\, June 18\, 6:30pm PT: July Westhale and TC Tolbert. \nJuly’s “stunning” new book of poems\, a deliciously subversive collection\, is coming out during this revolution\, during Pride month\, from Kore Press Institute\, and it’s called Via Negativa—a term used to describe how you can talk about a thing by talking about what it is not. Proceeds to support the Black community. \nThursday June 18\, 6:30pm PT on Zoom & FB Live stream \nSign up to be part of the live audience in the Zoom room:\nhttps://korepress.org/2020/06/july-westhales-via-negative-available-for-preorder-now/ \n“Via Negativa\, Westhale’s second poetry collection from Kore Press\, deftly weaves the sensual with the spiritual\, reckoning with a religious inheritance and a powerful faith in pleasure\, engaging in bold lyric conversation with the divine. These deliciously subversive poems range from California fires to church pews with equal parts grace and swagger\, always charged with eroticism\, rooted in the body\, showing us again and again “the wildness of ourselves.” Via Negativa left me breathless.—D I A N A W H I T N EY \n*July Westhale* is a poet\, translator\, and essayist living in Oakland\, CA. She is the author of Via Negativa\, Trailer Trash (winner of the 2016 Kore Press Book Award)\, The Cavalcade (Finishing Line Press)\, Quantifiable Data (Alley Cat Books)\, and Occasionally Accurate Science (Nomadic Press). Her essays\, poems\, fiction\, and translations are published in numerous journals\, magazines\, and anthologies. July works as an editor for PULP Magazine\, a publication devoted to sexuality and reproductive rights\, and is a community educator\, working with all ages of students in all types of settings—in after school programs\, community colleges\, libraries\, living rooms\, bookstores\, fields\, etc. Her work focuses on dismantling the inaccessibility of creative writing and bringing it into a contemporary focus as a necessary way for marginalized communities to archive their experiences. \n*TC Tolbert* is a genderqueer\, feminist poet and teacher committed to social justice. S/he believes in working across communities—building bridges wherever possible. Tolbert earned his MFA in Poetry from the University of Arizona\, and teaches in the low residency MFA program at OSU-Cascades and at the University of Arizona. S/he has three chapbooks: spirare (Belladonna\, 2012)\, territories of folding (Kore Press\, 2011)\, and I:Not He:Not I (Pitymilk Press\, 2014)\, and a full-length collection\, Gephyromania (Ahsahta Press\, 2014). \nShipping on all Kore books is FREE during the revolution.\nExtend your shelf life\, read great books:\nkorepress.org

SUMMARY:Shipwreck Returns! Dracula Edition
DESCRIPTION:It’s a garbage year in this garbage world\, so we’re doing the only thing we know how to do: get the gang back together to drink beer and make stupid jokes about smart literature. \nWe’re taking on Bram Stoker’s 1897 goth horror showstopper\, masterclass in thinly-veiled horniness\, and epistolary epic Dracula. Move over\, Francis Ford Coppola! \n(For the uninitiated\, Shipwreck ran monthly at Booksmith from 2013-2018\, seducing and corrupting thousands of literary-minded citizens along the way. June’s one-off event pits six writers against each other in a winner-take-all competition showdown of dick jokes and punnery. The stories are read anonymously by Baruch Porras-Hernandez and you won’t know who wrote what till we announce the winner.) \nHosted by Amy\, recorded by Casey\, and starring Baruch Porras-Hernandez. Featured writers: Seanan McGuire\, Emily Edwards (from the Fuckbois of Lit podcast)\, and more TBA. \n$12 advance\, $15 door\, ticket includes *open bar* for 21+\, and admission to the afterparty at The Alembic (1725 Haight). Seats tend to sell out fast; we encourage you to buy early. \n\n  \nWelcome\, Shipsters\, to San Francisco’s premier literary erotic fanfiction event. \nSix Great Writers destroy six notable characters from one Great Book on one notable Thursday this June at our home base\, the Booksmith in San Francisco. \nFics are blind-read by our Thespian-in-Residence\, Baruch Porras-Hernandez\, and you choose the best ship before the writers are unmasked. The winner is cast off from polite society\, and invited back at some point to defend their title. \n— \nCritics are saying: \nwait\, they’re still doing that? \n… the most despicable literary event possible. \nI’m so lost and so scared \n… an affront to literature. \nwonderfully\, masterfully\, hilariously disgusting. \ncome if you are high on marijuana cigarettes and have done sex before. \nShipwreck will bring you to madness and you may never return. \nI do not care for this. \n…lovingly rendered artisanal small batch nightmares… \n— \nPLEASE NOTE: No children are ever harmed at Shipwreck\, and consent and inclusion are paramount. We’re not dicks\, we just like dick jokes. Shipwreck tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable.
