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:Borderlands Books hosts Katherine Addison\, author of The Goblin Emperor\, to talk about new book
DESCRIPTION:Katherine Addison\, author of The Goblin Emperor\, returns with The Angel of the Crows\, a fantasy novel of alternate 1880s London\, where killers stalk the night and the ultimate power is naming. \nThis is not the story you think it is. These are not the characters you think they are. This is not the book you are expecting. \nIn an alternate 1880s London\, angels inhabit every public building\, and vampires and werewolves walk the streets with human beings in a well-regulated truce. A fantastic utopia\, except for a few things: Angels can Fall\, and that Fall is like a nuclear bomb in both the physical and metaphysical worlds. And human beings remain human\, with all their kindness and greed and passions and murderous intent. \nJack the Ripper stalks the streets of this London too. But this London has an Angel. The Angel of the Crows. \nKATHERINE ADDISON’s short fiction has been selected by The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror and The Year’s Best Science Fiction. She is the author of the Locus Award-winning novel The Goblin Emperor. As Sarah Monette\, she is the author of the Doctrine of Labyrinths series and co-author\, with Elizabeth Bear\, of the Iskryne series. She lives near Madison\, Wisconsin. You can find her on Twitter as @pennyvixen.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: Thea Matthews and Maw Shein Win / Unearth [The Flowers]
DESCRIPTION:The Bindery hosts Thea Matthews for her first full-length book\, Unearth [The Flowers]\, the first single-author title from local reading series and small press Red Light Lit. More to be announced soon\, but please save the date and join us! \nAn electrifying letter to family\, country\, and self\, Unearth [The Flowers] is an essential collection\, relentless in its journey through stages of grief and healing while celebrating life. Each poem is an anthem for resiliency\, a testament to survival\, a triumph over the stigmatized terror that pervades the everyday. Thea Matthews’s first full-length collection of poetry details a mind\, body\, and flower at the intersection of the personal and the political. \n— \n“Unearth [The Flowers] sees the pastoral tradition of poetry through a contemporary feminist lens that shows Thea Matthews as a writer of urgency and authentic concern. Or as Matthews herself says\, ‘where there is land / there is blood.’ This is a book of catalogue\, of taxonomy\, of the need to name the earth and stand on it whole.” – Jericho Brown\, author of The Tradition \n​“Unearth [The Flowers] is a blooming battle cry\, a feat of alchemy in which the personal and political merge in a brutal empathy. Rage and sorrow and the liberation of healing unfurl in a landscape of flowers—this is true literary witchcraft.” – Michelle Tea\, author of Against Memoir \n“Unearth [The Flowers] is a refusal of silence and a testament to survival\, speaking back to the damages with a gorgeous bouquet of poems. Thea Matthews conjures poetic magic for healing and bearing witness with vibrant\, lyrically rich poems.” – Tiana Clark\, author of I Can’t Talk About the Trees Without the Blood \n“Thea Matthews is a poetic herbalist\, using flowers to create healing. This work is egalitarian\, touching on blooms of all sorts: indigenous\, imported\, bolted\, and cultivated. You will feel these poems in the root of your jaw\, in your foot arches. Matthews is an experienced poet with a deft hand and an honest heart. These words languidly stretch\, snap like a lock blade\, they drape and twine and reach. Read this work and be changed.” – Kim Shuck\, San Francisco Poet Laureate \n“Thea Matthews is the voice and protector of our generation. Brave poems like a universe that has decided to go forward with a third testament. Thea Matthews is our sacred underground; the only host of our ascension.” – Tongo Eisen-Martin\, author of Heaven Is All Goodbyes \n— \nBorn and raised in San Francisco\, CA\, Thea Matthews is a poet\, scholar\, and activist. She writes on the complexities of humanity\, grief\, and resiliency. She earned her BA at UC Berkeley where she studied and taught June Jordan’s program Poetry for the People. She has work published in the Atlanta Review\, Tilde\, Foglifter\, The Rumpus\, and others. She has work also featured in anthologies Still Here San Francisco (Foglifter Press 2019); and Love WITH Accountability: Uprooting the Roots on Child Sexual Abuse (AK Press 2019). Her first collection of poetry Unearth [The Flowers] is published by Red Light Lit Press. \n** Please note ** \n> This is a free\, all-ages event. The Bindery’s bar opens at 6:30pm; event starts at 7pm. \nIf you can’t attend the event but would like to request a signed copy of Unearth [The Flowers]\, find more information here: https://www.booksmith.com/event/bindery-thea-matthews-unearth-flowers \n> Accessibility is important to us!
