SUMMARY:Conversations with Authors - Bobbie Ann Mason (Virtual Event)
DESCRIPTION:Bobbie Ann Mason‘s new release\, Dear Ann\, is a beautifully crafted and profoundly moving novel which follows a woman as she looks back over her life and her first love. \nHer first short stories were published in The New Yorker\, during the 1980s renaissance of the short story\, when writers such as Raymond Carver\, Ann Beattie\, and Tobias Wolff came to prominence. Her first book of fiction\, Shiloh & Other Stories\, won the PEN/Hemingway Award and was nominated for the American Book Award\, the PEN/Faulkner Award\, and the National Book Critics Circle Award. She received an Arts and Letters Award for Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. The title story\, “Shiloh\,” about a disabled trucker whose wife is not used to having him at home\, has been widely anthologized in college textbooks. The couple’s trip to the Civil War battleground of Shiloh began for Mason a recurring preoccupation with the theme of war. \nHer first novel\, In Country\, is taught widely in classes and was made into a Norman Jewison film starring Bruce Willis and Emily Lloyd. It is about a teenager whose father died in Vietnam before she was born\, and who is now coming of age\, desperate to know more about him. The Girl in the Blue Beret ventures into World War II and the ways it is remembered. Her memoir\, Clear Springs\, about an American farm family throughout the twentieth century\, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Her book of linked stories\, Nancy Culpepper\, is inspired by this family\, and she says that while the circumstances are different\, this is the work of fiction most closely identified with her own life and sensibility.

SUMMARY:Barbara Kingsolver - How to Fly (Virtual Event)
DESCRIPTION:In this intimate collection\, the beloved author of The Poisonwood Bible and more than a dozen other New York Times bestsellers\, winner or finalist for the Pulitzer and countless other prizes\, now trains her eye on the everyday and the metaphysical in poems that are smartly crafted\, emotionally rich\, and luminous. \nIn her second poetry collection\, Barbara Kingsolver offers reflections on the practical\, the spiritual\, and the wild. She begins with “how to” poems addressing everyday matters such as being hopeful\, married\, divorced; shearing a sheep; praying to unreliable gods; doing nothing at all; and of course\, flying. Next come rafts of poems about making peace (or not) with the complicated bonds of friendship and family\, and making peace (or not) with death\, in the many ways it finds us. Some poems reflect on the redemptive powers of art and poetry itself; others consider where everything begins. \nClosing the book are poems that celebrate natural wonders—birdsong and ghost-flowers\, ruthless ants\, clever shellfish\, coral reefs\, deadly deserts\, and thousand-year-old beech trees—all speaking to the daring project of belonging to an untamed world beyond ourselves. \nAltogether\, these are poems about transcendence: finding breath and lightness in life and the everyday acts of living. It’s all terribly easy and\, as the title suggests\, not entirely possible. Or at least\, it is never quite finished. \nBarbara Kingsolver is the author of nine bestselling works of fiction\, including the novels\, Flight Behavior\, The Lacuna\, The Poisonwood Bible\, Animal Dreams\, and The Bean Trees\, as well as books of poetry\, essays\, and creative nonfiction. Her work of narrative nonfiction is the enormously influential bestseller Animal\, Vegetable\, Miracle: A Year of Food Life. Kingsolver’s work has been translated into more than twenty languages and has earned literary awards and a devoted readership at home and abroad. She was awarded the National Humanities Medal\, our country’s highest honor for service through the arts\, as well as the prestigious Dayton Literary Peace Prize for her body of work. She lives with her family on a farm in southern Appalachia.
