SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Henri Cole and Forrest Gander
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday\, September 4th at 6pm PST when Henri Cole is joined by Forrest Gander to read from and discuss his latest collection of poetry\, Blizzard\, on Zoom! \nZoom Login Info\nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/82199696731 \nWebinar ID: 821 9969 6731 \nAbout Blizzard \nA powerful new collection by an award-winning poet. \nDaring\, tender\, truthful\, the poems in Blizzard\, Henri Cole’s tenth book\, build on a reputation for quiet mastery. Whether he is wrestling with the mundane\, history and its disasters\, or sexual love\, he can sound both classical and contemporary\, with the modern austerity of Constantine Cavafy and Elizabeth Bishop. Often exploring the darker places of the heart\, his sonnets do not lie down obediently but spark with an honest self-awareness. \nCole’s lucid\, empathetic poems—with lyrical beauty and ethical depth—seem to transmute the anxious perplexities of our time. \nAbout Henri Cole \nHenri Cole was born in Fukuoka\, Japan\, in 1956. He has published nine previous collections of poetry and received many awards for his work\, including the Jackson Poetry Prize\, the Kingsley Tufts Award\, the Rome Prize\, the Berlin Prize\, the Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize\, and the Award of Merit Medal in Poetry from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. His most recent book is Orphic Paris\, a memoir. He teaches at Claremont McKenna College \nAbout Forrest Gander \nForrest Gander was born in the Mojave Desert and grew up in Virginia. In addition to writing poetry\, he has translated works by Coral Bracho\, Alfonso D’Aquino\, Pura Lopez-Colome\, Pablo Neruda\, and Jaime Saenz. The recipient of grants from the Library of Congress\, the Guggenheim\, Howard\, Whiting\, and United States Artists Foundations\, he taught for many years as the AK Seaver Professor of Literary Arts & Comparative Literature at Brown University.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: Launch for Meg Elison / Find Layla\, with Somaiya Daud\, Rory Power\, Adam Sass and Maggie Tokuda-Hall
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith hosts a virtual event with Meg Elison for the launch of her new novel Find Layla. She’s joined by Somaiya Daud\, Rory Power\, Adam Sass and Maggie Tokuda-Hall for a panel discussion. \n** Please note ** \n>  This is a free event\, but RSVP is required. RSVP here.\n>  If you’d like a copy of Find Layla\, you can purchase one here\, below\, or when completing your registration. We are currently offering free shipping throughout San Francisco and the East Bay. \n\nUnderprivileged and keenly self-aware\, SoCal fourteen-year-old Layla Bailey isn’t used to being noticed. Except by mean girls who tweet about her ragged appearance. All she wants to do is indulge in her love of science\, protect her vulnerable younger brother\, and steer clear of her unstable mother. \nThen a school competition calls for a biome. Layla chooses her own home\, a hostile ecosystem of indoor fungi and secret shame. With a borrowed video camera\, she captures it all. The mushrooms growing in her brother’s dresser. The black mold blooming up the apartment walls. The unmentionable things living in the dead fridge. All the inevitable exotic toxins that are Layla’s life. Then the video goes viral. \nWhen Child Protective Services comes to call\, Layla loses her family and her home. Defiant\, she must face her bullies and friends alike\, on her own. Unafraid at last of being seen\, Layla accepts the mortifying reality of visibility. Now she must figure out how to stay whole and stand behind the truth she has shown the world. \nA heartbreaking and all-too-real portrait of many children’s lives\, Find Layla tugs at your heartstrings as you root for Layla to stay strong\, seek kindness\, and believe in herself in the midst of crisis and uncertainty. \n\nMeg Elison is a Bay Area author and feminist essayist. Her debut novel\, The Book of the Unnamed Midwife\, won the 2014 Philip K. Dick award. Her second novel\, The Book of Etta\, was a finalist for the Philip K. Dick\, and both were longlisted for the James A. Tiptree award. She has been published in McSweeney’s\, Fantasy & Science Fiction\, Catapult\, and many other places. Elison is a high school dropout and a graduate of UC Berkeley. Find her online\, where she writes like she’s running out of time at www.megelison.com\, or follow her on Twitter @MegElison. \nAdam Sass began writing books in Sharpie on the backs of Starbucks pastry bags. (He’s sorry it distracted him from making your latte.) Raised in an Illinois farm town\, his desire for a creative career took him to Chicago\, New York\, Los Angeles\, and currently\, North Carolina\, where he lives with his husband and dachshunds. When he’s not dropping hot takes on Twitter\, Adam is a recurring co-host on the popular Buffy the Vampire Slayer podcast Slayerfest98. Surrender Your Sons is his first novel. \nThis event is free and all ages\, but RSVP is required.
