SUMMARY:Online Evening Literary Seminar: A Manual for Cleaning Women\, Lucia Berlin
DESCRIPTION:A Manual for Cleaning Women\, Lucia Berlin \nLucía Berlin’s short stories have caused more than one critic to call her “America’s best kept secret.” Born in Alaska in 1936\, but having grown up in Arizona\, Montana and Chile\, Berlin’s fiction is often autobiographical\, which will provide excellent grist for Kimberly’s literary mill. Having been an upper-crust ex-pat\, a cleaning woman\, an alcoholic\, a mother to four boys\, a wife and lover to many\, Berlin reads like Raymond Carver or Grace Paley or a very gritty Alice Munro. Her prose is unique and luminous\, hard-scrabble and surprising and SO GOOD. For an engaging\, original escape\, join us to read at least a few of these masterpieces.

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Tracy Anne Hart on Stevie Ray Vaughan
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Monday\, November 30 at 6:00pm PST when photographer Tracy Anne Hart discusses her book\, Seeing Stevie Ray\, with former Creem magazine editor Robert Duncan on Zoom! \n10% of each book sold will be donated to the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank.\nStevie Ray Vaughan regularly donated to local food banks while on tour\, and in partnership with Hart we are pleased to do so in his memory.\nIf you would like to donate to the food bank directly\, we encourage you to do so here. \nKeep an eye out for our upcoming auction of an archival print of Stevie by Tracy Anne Hart. Posting November 20\, 2020! \nZoom Login Info\nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/89343683958 \nAbout Seeing Stevie Ray \nIt may be difficult to say anything about Stevie Ray Vaughan that hasn’t already been said. The skinny kid from Oak Cliff on the south side of Dallas who followed his older brother Jimmie in and out of local blues clubs and eventually to Austin would go on to establish himself as the finest guitar player of his generation and perhaps the best of all time. Vaughan was truly a conduit for the symphony of the universe. The music that flowed through him endeared him to hordes of fans and won him near-divine status among guitarists. Vaughan continues to inspire and enthrall even decades after his passing. \nWhat others have attempted to portray in prose\, photographer Tracy Anne Hart has expressed in imagery. From 1983 until just before his death in 1990\, Hart captured Vaughan as he summoned magic with his passion\, his technique\, his intensity\, and his love and respect for the music. The result is a deeply felt visual portrait of Stevie Ray Vaughan that tells us almost as much about the photographer behind the camera as it does about the musician in front. Through Hart’s eyes and mind\, readers will experience his genius in an entirely new way. \nHart also provides a glimpse at Vaughan’s legacy\, offering evidence of some of the next generation of guitarists who consider Vaughan a principal influence. The sum of her efforts comprises a work that offers a visual feast for guitar enthusiasts and music fans in Texas and beyond. Enjoy the photographs and remember to listen to Stevie’s music as often and as loudly as possible! \nAbout the Author \nTRACY ANNE HART\, a professional photographer since 1981\, is the owner of The Heights Gallery (www.theheightsgallery.com). Her photographs of music legends have been exhibited in galleries and are in private collections from Texas to Australia. Her work has graced album and DVD covers\, billboards\, international magazines\, and other media.

SUMMARY:Together in a Sudden Strangeness: America's Poets Respond to the Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Editor Alice Quinn is joined by contributors to the anthology\, Together in a Sudden Strangeness: America’s Poets Respond to the Pandemic (Knopf)\, for this special virtual poetry reading. \nConfirmed participants so far include: \nForrest Gander\nBrenda Hillman\nAlice Quinn\nDean Rader\nTess Taylor\nNoah Warren\nJenny Xie\nMatthew Zapruder \nThis event will be streamed on our Crowdcast channel. \nAbout Together in a Sudden Strangeness \nAs the novel coronavirus and its devastating effects began to spread in the United States and around the world\, Alice Quinn reached out to poets across the country to see if\, and what\, they were writing under quarantine. Moved and galvanized by the response\, the onetime New Yorker poetry editor and recent former director of the Poetry Society of America began collecting the poems arriving in her inbox\, assembling this various\, intimate\, and intricate portrait of our suddenly altered reality. In these pages\, we find poets grieving for relatives they are separated from or recovering from illness themselves\, attending to suddenly complicated household tasks or turning to literature for strength\, considering the bravery of medical workers or working their own shifts at the hospital\, and\, as the Black Lives Matter movement has swept the globe\, reflecting on the inequities in our society that amplify sorrow and demand our engagement. From fierce and resilient to wistful\, darkly humorous\, and emblematically reverent about the earth and the vulnerability of human beings in frightening times\, the poems in this collection find the words to describe what can feel unspeakably difficult and strange\, providing wisdom\, companionship\, and depths of feeling that enliven our spirits. \nAbout Alice Quinn and the participants \nAlice Quinn\, the executive director of the Poetry Society of America for eighteen years\, was also the poetry editor at The New Yorker from 1987 to 2007 and an editor at Alfred A. Knopf for more than ten years prior to that. She teaches at Columbia University’s School of the Arts and is the editor of a book of Elizabeth Bishop’s writings\, Edgar Allan Poe & The Juke-Box: Uncollected Poems\, Drafts\, and Fragments\, as well as a forthcoming book of Bishop’s journals. She lives in New York City and Millerton\, New York.
