SUMMARY:Mark Terrill: Great Balls of Doubt w/ Jon Langford
DESCRIPTION:Mark Terrill’s new book of poems\, launching tonight\, is Great Balls of Doubt\, a collection of poems and prose poems with illustrations by Jon Langford\, hailed by Anne Waldman as “a solid collection from a vigilant compañero of the real work\, an ally of the Zen wing of the New American Poetry of observation & witness.” Born in Berkeley\, Terrill has lived for many years in Germany\, publishing numerous collections of poetry and prose\, including Bread & Fish (The Figures\, 2002) and Diamonds & Sapience (Dark Style\, 2017). His work has appeared in over a thousand journals and anthologies\, including City Lights Review\, Bombay Gin\, Empty Mirror\, Jacket\, Diagram\, Rattle\, RHINO\, and Talisman\, and been translated into French\, German\, and Portuguese. \nJon Langford is a musician and visual artist who first came to prominence with art/punk music collective the Mekons. He has also released many recordings as a solo artist and with other bands (the Three Johns\, the Waco Brothers\, Four Lost Souls\, and more). Tonight he will accompany Terrill’s reading on guitar and also perform songs from his own extensive repertoire. Langford’s art has been collected in two books\, Nashville Radio and Skull Orchard Revisited\, and in 2015 he was artist in residence at the Country Music Hall of Fame\, which commissioned him to paint a series of portraits for its exhibition “Dylan\, Cash\, and the Nashville Cats: A New Music City.”

SUMMARY:Bonnie Tsui
DESCRIPTION:presents Why We Swim \n“A fascinating and beautifully written love letter to water. I was enchanted by this book.” —Rebecca Skloot\, bestselling author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks \nHumans\, unlike other animals that are drawn to water\, are not natural-born swimmers. We must be taught. Our evolutionary ancestors learned for survival; now in the twenty-first century we swim in freezing Arctic waters and piranha-infested rivers to test our limits. Swimming is an introspective and silent sport in a chaotic and noisy age; it’s therapeutic for both the mind and body; and it’s an adventurous way to get from point A to point B. It’s also one route to that elusive\, ecstatic state of flow. These reasons\, among many others\, make swimming one of the most popular activities in the world. \nWhy We Swim is propelled by stories of Olympic champions\, a Baghdad swim club that meets in Saddam Hussein’s palace pool\, modern-day Japanese samurai swimmers\, and even an Icelandic fisherman who improbably survives a wintry six-hour swim after a shipwreck. New York Times contributor Bonnie Tsui\, a swimmer herself\, dives into the deep\, from the San Francisco Bay to the South China Sea\, investigating what about water—despite its dangers—seduces us and why we come back to it again and again.\n\nAbout the Author\n\nBonnie Tsui lives\, swims\, and surfs in the Bay Area. A longtime contributor to the New York Times and California Sunday Magazine\, she has been the recipient of the Jane Rainie Opel Young Alumna Award from Harvard University\, the Lowell Thomas Gold Award\, and a National Press Foundation Fellowship. Her last book\, American Chinatown: A People’s History of Five Neighborhoods\, won the Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature and was a San Francisco Chronicle bestseller and Best of 2009 Notable Bay Area Books selection. Her website is bonnietsui.com.\n\n\n\nPraise For…\n\n“A beautifully written love letter to water and a fascinating story. I was enchanted.”\n—Rebecca Skloot\, bestselling author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks \n“The only thing better than reading Bonnie Tsui’s writing about swimming is swimming itself—and both are sublime. Why We Swim is an aquatic tour de force\, a captivating story filled with adventure\, meditation\, and celebration.”\n—Susan Casey\, New York Times bestselling author of The Wave and Voices in the Ocean \n“This is a jewel of a book\, a paean to the wonders of water and our place within it.”\n—James Nestor\, author of Deep: Freediving\, Renegade Science\, and What the Ocean Tells Us about Ourselves \n“Magnificent. Only a truly great story can hold my attention and Why We Swim had me nailed to the chair . . . I love this book.”\n—Christopher McDougall\, bestselling author of Born to Run and Natural Born Heroes \n“Why We Swim is a gorgeous hybrid of a book. Bonnie Tsui combines fascinating reporting about some of the world’s most remarkable swimmers with delightful meditations about what it means for us naked apes to leap in the water for no apparent reason. You won’t regret diving in.”\n—Carl Zimmer\, author of She Has Her Mother’s Laugh: The Powers\, Perversions\, and Potential of Heredity
