SUMMARY:Sean Carroll: The Passage of Time and the Meaning of Life
DESCRIPTION:Watch & share this talk on YouTube\, Facebook\, Twitter and Long Now Live. \nWhat is time? What is humankind’s role in the universe? What is the meaning of life? For much of human history\, these questions have been the province of religion and philosophy. What answers can science provide? \nIn this talk\, Sean Carroll will share what physicists know\, and don’t yet know\, about the nature of time. He’ll argue that while the universe might not have purpose\, we can create meaning and purpose through how we approach reality\, and how we live our lives. \nSean Carroll is a Research Professor of theoretical physics at the California Institute of Technology\, and an External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute. His research has focused on fundamental physics and cosmology\, especially issues of dark matter\, dark energy\, spacetime symmetries\, and the origin of the universe. \nRecently\, Carroll has worked on the foundations of quantum mechanics\, the emergence of spacetime\, and the evolution of entropy and complexity. Carroll is the author of Something Deeply Hidden\, The Big Picture\, The Particle at the End of the Universe amongst other books and hosts the Mindscapes podcast.

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Ian Manuel with Messiah Ramkissoon
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, May 4 at 6pm PT when we welcome Ian Manuel for the launch of his book\, My Time Will Come: A Memoir of Crime\, Punishment\, Hope\, and Redemption\, with Messiah Ramkissoon on Zoom!\n\nLimited signed bookplates available.\nIn partnership with Youth Justice Network\nwith proceeds benefitting the Prisoners Literature Project\nGreen Apple will donate 10% of each copy sold to PLP\n\nZoom Login Info\nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/88615146964\n\nAbout My Time Will Come\nAt fourteen Ian Manuel was sentenced to life without parole. My Time Will Come is a paean to the capacity of the human will to transcend adversity through determination and art.\n\n“Ian is magic. His story is difficult and heartbreaking\, but he takes us places we need to go to understand why we must do better.” —Bryan Stevenson\, author of Just Mercy\n\n“My story has been told many times and by highly regarded experts in their fields—judges\, prosecutors\, juvenile probation officers\, sociologists\, journalists. But I would like to try to tell it to you myself. I have reason to believe the experts may be wrong about me. You see\, today\, thirty years later\, I am neither in prison nor dead.” —from My Time Will Come\n\nThe United States is the only country in the world that sentences thirteen- and fourteen-year-old offenders\, mostly youth of color\, to life in prison without parole\, regardless of the scientifically proven singularities of the developing adolescent brain—a heinous wrinkle in the scandal of mass incarceration. In 1991\, Ian Manuel\, then fourteen\, was sentenced to life without parole for a non-homicide crime. In a botched mugging attempt with some older boys\, he shot Debbie Baigrie\, a young white mother of two\, in the face. But as Bryan Stevenson\, attorney and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative\, has insisted\, none of us should be judged by only the worst thing we have ever done.\n\nCapturing the fullness of his humanity\, here is Manuel’s powerful testimony of growing up homeless in Central Park Village in Tampa\, Florida—a neighborhood riddled with poverty\, gang violence\, and drug abuse—and of his efforts to rise above his circumstances\, only to find himself\, partly through his own actions\, imprisoned for two-thirds of his life\, eighteen years of which were spent in solitary confinement. Here is the at once wrenching and inspiring story of how he endured the savagery of the United States prison system\, and how his victim\, an extraordinary woman\, forgave him and bravely advocated for his freedom\, which was achieved by a crusade on the part of the Equal Justice Initiative to address the barbarism of our judicial system and bring about “just mercy.”\n\nFull of unexpected twists and turns as it describes a struggle to attain the glory of redemption\, My Time Will Come is a paean to the capacity of the human will to transcend adversity through determination and art—in Ian Manuel’s case\, through his dedication to writing poetry.\n\nAbout Ian Manuel\nIan Manuel lives in New York City. He is a motivational speaker at schools and social organizations nationwide.

SUMMARY:Erica Hunt and Michael Palmer
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual event that will be hosted by City Lights on the Zoom platform.\n\n       \nreading from new works \nJump The Clock by Erica Hunt – published by Nightboat \nLittle Elegies for Sister Satan by Michael Palmer – published by New Directions \n———- \nThis is a virtual event that will be hosted by City Lights on the Zoom platform. You will need access to a computer or other device that is capable of accessing the internet. If you have not used Zoom before\, you may consider referencing Getting Started with Zoom. \n———- \nEvent is free\, but registration is required. \n(CLICK HERE) to register – link coming soon! \n(CLICK HERE) to purchase Jump The Clock by Erica Hunt – link coming soon! \n(CLICK HERE) to purchase Little Elegies for Sister Satan by Michael Palmer – link coming soon! \n———– \nAbout Erika Hunt’s Jump The Clock \nErica Hunt writes at the intersection of poetry and emancipatory politics—racial and gender justice\, feminist ethics\, and participatory democracy—showing us that altering our reading strategies frames our experiences. Ultimately\, she finds that words matter\, savoring the small ones: articles\, pronouns\, collective\, plural and singular. This collection brings together out of print works and journals of the same period\, to speak across “crumpled” time\, the past seen from then to now. \nAbout Michael Plamer’s Little Elegies for Sister Satan \nLittle Elegies for Sister Satan presents searingly beautiful new poems by Michael Palmer\, “the foremost experimental poet of his generation\, and perhaps of the last several generations” (citation for The Poetry Society of America’s Wallace Stevens Award). Grappling with our dark times and our inability to stop destroying the planet or to end our endless wars\, Palmer offers a counterlight of wit (poetry was dead again / they said again)\, as well as the glow of wonder. In polyphonic passages\, voices speak from a decentered place\, yet are rooted in the whole history of culture that has gone before: “When I think of ‘possible worlds\,’ I think not of philosophy\, but of elegy. And impossible worlds. Resistant worlds.” \nErica Hunt is a poet and essayist\, author of Local History\, Arcade\, Piece Logic\, Veronica: A Suite in X Parts\, and Jump the Clock: New and Selected Poems\, published by Nightboat Books in November 2020. Her poems and essays have appeared in BOMB\, Boundary 2\, Brooklyn Rail\, The Los Angeles Review of Books\, Poetics Journal\, Tripwire\, Recluse\, In the American Tree\, and Conjunctions. With Dawn Lundy Martin\, Hunt is the editor of an anthology of new writing by Black women\, Letters to the Future. Hunt has received awards from the Foundation for Contemporary Art\, the Fund for Poetry\, and the Djerassi Foundation and is a past fellow of Duke University/University of Capetown Program in Public Policy. She teaches at Brown University. \nMichael Palmer is an American born in New York City in 1943 and long resident in San Francisco\, nearly all of Palmer’s poetry is published by New Directions: At Passages (1995); The Lion Bridge: Selected Poems 1972–1995 (1998); The Promises of Glass (2000); Codes Appearing: Poems 1979–1988 (2001); Company of Moths (2005); and most recently\, Thread (2011). He is the translator of works by Emmanuel Hocquard\, Vicente Huidobro\, and Alexei Parshchikov\, among others\, and the editor of Code of Signals: Recent Writings in Poetics. For over thirty years he has collaborated with the Margaret Jenkins Dance Company. \n  \nThis event has been sponsored by the City Lights Foundation

SUMMARY:Epicenter of Girlhood: Carol Edgarian and Vendela Vida on Coming of Age in San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:Vendela Vida\, Cherilyn Parsons\, Carol Edgarian\n\nFrom the Barbary Coast to the Summer of Love to the tech takeover\, San Francisco has always been a city in flux\, a writer’s dream\, and a favorite setting for literature. Its boom-and-bust drama and breathtaking beauty also make it a perfect backdrop for coming-of-age stories: especially ones about girls who can’t be pigeonholed. \nWho better to chronicle the city’s growing pains—and those of two unforgettable teenage women—than two leading ladies of the Bay Area literary scene? Carol Edgarian\, publisher of Narrative Magazine\, has delivered “that rare novel you’ll want to buy for loved ones” (Andre Dubus III) with Vera\, a pulse-pounding\, often hilarious saga of a fierce 15-year-old\, the daughter of a bordello owner\, amidst the 1906 earthquake and fires. (Nob Hill\, Pacific Heights\, Market Street\, the longed-for “fire escape” ferry to Oakland—they’re all here.) \nWe wonder what Vera would have to say to Eulabee\, the protagonist of Vendela Vida’s funny\, poignant We Run the Tides\, who comes of age during the pre-tech-boom days of the 1990s (Eulabee haunts “Sea Cliff\,” China Beach\, the Haight). Vida\, co-founder of The Believer magazine\, 826 Valencia\, and other Bay Area literary institutions\, puts Eulabee squarely in the middle of a web of lies instigated by her fabulously-named friend Maria Fabiola\, a social climber (also very San Francisco). \nWhether you know San Francisco or not\, whether you long for its “good old days” or still find it magical\, these stories and this conversation\, part of the Festival’s “Writer to Writer” series\, will hit home for anyone who has undergone the harrowing journey of growing up. \nRegister Here\nFree of charge\, but you must register to receive the viewing link. \nThis event is also part of the Festival’s Women Lit series

DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Tuesday\, May 4\, 2021 at 7 PM PDT for a discussion of YOU LOOK TIRED: AN EXCRUCIATINGLY HONEST GUIDE TO NEW PARENTHOOD with author Jenny True in conversation with Catherine Newman (author of HOW TO BE A PERSON: 65 HUGELY USEFUL\, SUPER-IMPORTANT SKILLS TO LEARN BEFORE YOU’RE GROWN UP). \nOur discussion will be webcast on Zoom at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85795898890\, and on Facebook Live at https://www.facebook.com/ggpbooks/live/. \nOrder your copy of YOU LOOK TIRED at http://bit.ly/ggpTired\, or in audiobook from Libro.fm at http://bit.ly/TiredAB \nDescription\n\nIn the tradition of Ali Wong and Amy Schumer comes this whip-smart\, spit-out-your-coffee funny guide for new parents—from popular blogger and columnist Jenny True. Plenty of “new parent” guides cover the basics of breastfeeding\, bonding\, sleep\, and “getting back in shape.” But nowhere is a guide that tells you\, WTF is this squeeze bottle thing from the hospital?\nYou Look Tired is a totally honest\, tell-it-like-it-is guide for new moms who don’t want any more advice. Writing as Jenny True on her “Excruciatingly Personal Mommy Blog” and in the “Dear Jenny” column on Romper\, Jenny has been called the “postpartum feelings doula\,” as she doles out her unique mix of humor\, rage\, and encouragement (with a smidge of practical advice)\, including: \n\nBirth Hurts: Prenatal yoga is a waste of time.\nJabba the Hutt Was Just Postpartum: It explains so much.\nAn Open Letter to People Who Say\, “Looks like you have your hands full!”\n\nAnd much more! \nAbout the Author\n\nJenny Pritchett (alias Jenny True) is a nationally recognized columnist for Romper\, where she publishes advice on pregnancy and parenting\, as well as on her popular blog Jenny True: An Excruciatingly Personal Mommy Blog\, which was a finalist for the Mom 2.0 2019 People’s Choice Awards.

If you don’t have a trust fund\, a live-in nanny\, or the organizational skills to breastfeed elegantly while getting a pedicure\, you need this book. In the voice of her popular alter ego Jenny True\, Pritchett tells it like it really is\, not the way it would be if you were floating through parenthood on a cloud of maternal fairy dust. There is no maternal fairly dust\, people! Fortunately\, there is Jenny True.”—Michelle Richmond\, New York Times bestselling author of five novels and two award winning story collections\, mother of one\, and Jenny True fan. \n“Completely hilarious\, utterly frank\, thoughtful\, and wise—this book is a breath of fresh air.” —Meaghan O’Connell\, author of And Now We Have Everything: On Motherhood Before I Was Ready \n“A must-have for moms-to-be.” —Bunmi Laditan\, author of The Honest Toddler: A Child’s Guide to Parenting
