It represents the call-and-response of two disembodied voices from opposite sides of the Bay\, voices that demand a scrupulous account of the raison d’etre of existence. Though supposedly separate the twin/voices become seamless and one. \nInnovative Mexican-American poet  Iván Argüelles is the author of numerous works\, notably “That” Goddess\, Hapax Legomenon\, Madonna Septet\, and Comedy \, Divine \, The . Among recently published works are Fragments from a Gone World\, Tamazunchale\, and Diario di un ottogenario. The long arc of his life has taken him from Mexico DF to Minnesota Chicago Italy Brooklyn and finally Berkeley. A retired librarian\, he worked at the  New York Public Library and the Library UC Berkeley. Usually associated with the surrealists\, his work has deep roots in the classics as well as modernists such as Pound and Joyce. A bilingual edition of the translation of some of his poems is in preparation. \nSolomon Rino is a playwright\, poet\, book artist and publisher. His first book was an ethnography of Tibetan ritual tradition\, Deity Men\, Reb gong Tibetan Trance Mediums in Transition. He translated from the Hungarian Miklos Radnoti’s Bor Notebook as A Wiser\, More Beautiful Death. He edited and designed the book\, Like an eye in the hand of a beggar by Leopoldo Maria Panero\, translated by Arturo Mantecón. He edits the annual journal Second Stutter representing significant voices in contemporary poetry.

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Marc Anthony Richardson and Carolina de Robertis
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, August 25th at 6pm PT when Marc Anthony Richardson joins us to discuss his novel\, Messiahs\, with Carolina de Robertis on Zoom! \nZoom Registration \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/…/reg…/WN_cqwbFFuBQIS0qvGhukkbow \nPraise for Messiahs \n“Messiahs is a fever dream of storytelling. It explores racism and interracial conflict\, the deadly prison industrial complex\, climate emergency\, social death\, and more in prose that unfurls like waves of sound. Bleak\, though not without hope\, challenging\, though with numerous rewards along the way\, innovative from start to finish\, Messiahs is a marvel.” \n—John Keene\, MacArthur Fellow and author of Annotations and Counternarratives \n“In Messiahs\, Marc Anthony Richardson gives us an innovative\, intelligent\, and insightful take on several American obsessions\, including punishment\, incarceration\, and the death penalty. As much as this layered narrative presents a warning about things to come\, it also offers a profound examination of rebirth\, redemption\, second-acts. All in all an unnerving\, uncanny\, and challenging read on many levels\, but well worth the effort.” \n—Jeffery Renard Allen\, Guggenheim Fellow and author of Rails Under My Back and Song of the Shank \nAbout Messiahs \nA fiercely ecstatic tale of betrayal and self-sacrifice. \nMessiahs centers on two nameless lovers\, a woman of east Asian descent and a former state prisoner\, a black man who volunteered incarceration on behalf of his falsely convicted nephew\, yet was “exonerated” after more than two years on death row. In this dystopian America\, one can assume a relative’s capital sentence as an act of holy reform-“the proxy initiative\,” patterned after the Passion. The lovers begin their affair by exchanging letters\, and after his release\, they withdraw to a remote cabin during a torrential winter\, haunted by their respective past tragedies. Savagely ostracized by her family for years\, the woman is asked by her mother to take the proxy initiative for her brother-creating a conflict she cannot bear to share with her lover. Comprised of ten poetic paragraphs\, Messiahs’ rigorous style and sustained intensity equals agony and ecstasy. \nAbout Marc Anthony Richardson \nMarc Anthony Richardson is author of Year of the Rat\, winner of an American Book Award\, and is the recipient of a Creative Capital Award\, a PEN America grant\, and a Hurston/Wright fellowship. He teaches creative writing at the University of Pennsylvania.
