SUMMARY:Poetry Flash presents Gillian Conoley and Paul Hoover
DESCRIPTION:Gillian Conoley’s most recent book of poems is Peace. A. Anupama\, in Numéro Cinq\, wrote\, “White space percolates this lyric\, while the current lull in American military actions forms the occasion of this book\, Gillian Conoley’s seventh poetry collection. With poems  titled “late democracy\,’ “[Peace] contrary to history\,” and “Trying to Write a Poem about Gandhi\,” the work pulls one way and then pushes back another\, testing the inner ground for breath.” Others of her collections include The Plot Genie\, Profane Halo\, and Lovers in the Used World. Her work has been anthologized in Best American Poetry\, American Hybrid\, and Postmodern American Poetry. Her translations include Thousand Times Broken\, Three Books\, three previously untranslated books of the French poet Henri Michaux. Founder and editor of the literary journal VOLT\, she has\, among her honors\, four Pushcart Prizes\, the Jerome J. Shestack Prize from APR\, an NEA fellowship\, and a Fund for Poetry Award. \nPaul Hoover’s new book of poems is The Book of Unnamed Things. Mary Jo Bang says\, “Hoover’s concern with language’s representational inadequacy is shared by the L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poets he’s championed for years….However\, his own poems are more direct\, more lyrical\, and sometimes seethingly and seductively  melancholic. Central to all of them (regardless of language’s irrefutable limitations) is his keen intelligence and laconic wit.” Author of fourteen previous poetry collections\, he co-edited with Maxine Chernoff the literary magazine New American Writing and co-translated with her The Selected Poetry of Friedrich Hölderlin\, which won a PEN-USA Translation Award. Editor\, as well\, of Postmodern American Poetry: A Norton Anthology\, his honors include an NEA Fellowship\, the Frederick Bock Award of Poetry\, and the Jerome J. Shestack Prize of American Poetry Review.

SUMMARY:Leslie Jonath
DESCRIPTION:Presents Foraged Art: Creating Projects Using Blooms\, Branches\, Leaves\, Stones\, and Other Elements Discovered in Nature. \nTo reserve your seat\, purchase a copy of Foraged Art by speaking to a bookseller or ordering from our website. \n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, June 14\, 2018 – 7:30pm\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the spirit of land artists like Andy Goldsworthy\, the book is as much about discovery as it is about creation. Leaves shaped like lips might inspire a face; an array of rocks might be become an eclectic mosaic; winter’s first snow might be carved into glowing luminaria.Whether you love to look for heart-shaped flowers or want to make a peacock made with flower petals\, you will find great inspiration and joy in Foraged Art. \nArt\, meditation\, and nature meet in this adult focused activity book\, with projects that take inspiration from the natural environment\, using blooms\, pods\, branches\, stones\, and other natural elements. Divided into chapters by natural elements–flowers\, leaves\, rocks and pods\, and more\, the book encourages readers to forage and play outside using nature’s seasonal art box. With quotes by artists on nature and creativity\, Foraged Art is about making art from what you find and finding art in what you see. \nLeslie Jonath is an author\, book packager\, and producer specializing in content for food\, art\, design\, and children’s projects. She is the author of many books including Snowmen\, Everyone Loves Paris\, Give Yourself A Gold Star and Love Found. She lives in San Francisco.

SUMMARY:Michael Eric Dyson: Our Unfinished Conversation About Race in America
DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio 94.1 FM & Marcus Books present \nMICHAEL ERIC DYSON\nWhat Truth Sounds Like: RFK\, James Baldwin\, and Our Unfinished Conversation About Race in America\nHosted by Kevin Cartwright \nEntry $20\, entry & book $35\, 2 entries & book $45\, Tickets: 800-838-3006\, or independent bookstores\, Benefit KPFA\, Info: kpfa.org/events \nMichael Eric Dyson is one of America’s premier public intellectuals. The author of last year’s outstanding bestseller\, “Tears We Cannot Stop\,” Dyson is University Professor of Sociology at Georgetown University\, a frequent contributor to the New York Times\, and an editor of The New Republic. Ebony magazine named him one of America’s 100 most influential African-Americans. In addition\, Dyson is a uniquely outstanding public speaker\, employing exceptionally deep knowledge with a talent for immediacy\, terrific wit\, and an extraordinarily rich voice. \nHis new book\, What Truth Sounds Like deftly explores the tense intersection of the conflict between politics and prophecy- of whether we embrace political resolution or moral redemption to fix our fractured landscape. Dr. Dyson examines key players today\, from Jay-Z to Jordan Peele and LeBron James\, from Ta-Nehisi Coates to Kamala Harris. He ends with a paean to Wakanda\, the all too mythical nation celebrated in the film “Black Panther”. “If James Baldwin and his glorious crew could gather again\, they could hardly have a better place to reconvene and let the beautiful momentum of blackness wash over them as they sought to make America truly great. For the first time.” \nWhat Truth Sounds Like reveals how every big argument about race that persists to this day got a hearing in a crucial meeting convened in 1963 when Robert F. Kennedy invited James Baldwin and a few of his friends to discuss Black America’s rage: disdain for black dissent\, the belief that black folk wallow in the politics of ingratitude and victimhood\, and that they lack hustle and ingenuity.
