SUMMARY:C. Dale Young + Rick Barot
DESCRIPTION:Please join Green Apple Books on Clement street on Thursday\, May 12th at 7:00 p.m. as we host C. Dale Young and Rick Barot\, who will be reading from their collections of poetry Halo and Chord\, respectively. \n  \nPraise for C. Dale Young \n“Sometimes the ability to convey information compactly and quickly has moral grace. [Young’s] writing can put garrulous narration or evasive speechifying to shame.” —Robert Pinsky \n“Young is a doctor as well as a poet\, and [his poetry] demonstrates a skilled physician’s combination of empathy and formal precision.” —NPR \n“Like medicine\, poetry may demand that we treat wounds\, that we understand mortality\, that we apply all possible skill to the often messy terrain of human life. But poetry can also demand that we not repair\, that we leave torn what is torn. This is Young’s great gift. He balances his desire to treat his subjects exquisitely and assiduously with his healthy skepticism about easy resolutions.” — Los Angeles Review of Books \n\nPraise for Rick Barot’s Chord \n“I loved that I could feel him wrestling to understand his life\, even while the poems make clear that he knows the limits of understanding. The fluidity with which Barot walks this difficult line between meaning and certainty makes these poems feel more born than made. This is a fantastic book.” —Bob Hicok \n“Chord is a smart\, moving\, and elegant collection that takes none of its hard-won assertions for granted.” —Paisley Rekdal \n\nC. Dale Young practices medicine full-time and teaches in the Warren Wilson MFA Program for Writers. A recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation\, his poems and short fiction have appeared widely. The author of four collections of poetry\, most recently The Halo (Four Way Books\, March 2016)\, he lives in San Francisco. \nRick Barot has published three books of poetry with Sarabande Books: The Darker Fall (2002)\, Want (2008)\, which was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award and won the 2009 Grub Street Book Prize\, and Chord (2015)\, which was a finalist for the LA Times Book Prize and the PEN Open Book Award\, and the winner of the 2016 UNT Rilke Prize. He has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Artist Trust of Washington\, the Civitella Ranieri\, and Stanford University\, where he was a Wallace E. Stegner Fellow and a Jones Lecturer. He lives in Tacoma\, Washington and directs The Rainier Writing Workshop\, the low-residency MFA program in creative writing at Pacific Lutheran University. He is also the poetry editor for New England Review.

In this space women can gather together to create\, perform\, and support each other in their artistic endeavors in the Bay Area.”

SUMMARY:Martin Seay + Robin Sloan
DESCRIPTION:Martin Seay will talk about The Mirror Thief (Melville House)\, one of the most talked-about debut novels of 2016\, with Robin Sloan. \nPraise for The Mirror Thief \n“A true delight\, a big\, beautiful cabinet of wonders that is by turns an ominous modern thriller\, a supernatural mystery\, and an enchanting historical adventure story…A splendid masterpiece\, to be loved like a long-lost friend\, an epic with near-universal appeal.”—Publishers Weekly (starred and boxed) \n“Matched in its ambition only by its accomplishment. This literary\, noir thriller–drenched in grit\, paranoia\, and desperation–pulls the reader inexorably through a Russian doll of mysteries that span centuries and cultures. One hell of a debut novel.” —Chris Phipps\, Diesel Books Oakland \n“An incredible feat of storytelling . . . A delicious stew of Los Angeles-type noir\, Da Vinci Code mystery\, Rebel Without a Cause toughness\, and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance mechanical spirituality.” —Steve Salardino\, Skylight Books \n\nAbout The Mirror Thief: \nA globetrotting\, time-bending\, wildly entertaining masterpiece in the tradition of “Cloud Atlas.”\n“Publishers Weekly” raved that “with near-universal appeal . . .Seay’s debut novel is a true delight\, a big\, beautiful cabinet of wonders that is by turns an ominous modern thriller\, a supernatural mystery\, and an enchanting historical adventure story.”Set in three cities in three eras\, “The Mirror Thief” calls to mind David Mitchell and Umberto Eco in its mix of entertainment and literary bravado.\nThe core story is set in Venice in the sixteenth century\, when the famed makers of Venetian glass were perfecting one of the old world’s most wondrous inventions: the mirror. An object of glittering yet fearful fascination was it reflecting simple reality\, or something more spiritually revealing? the Venetian mirrors were state of the art technology\, and subject to industrial espionage by desirous sultans and royals world-wide. But for any of the development team to leave the island was a crime punishable by death. One man\, however a world-weary war hero with nothing to lose has a scheme he thinks will allow him to outwit the city’s terrifying enforcers of the edict\, the ominous Council of Ten . . .\nMeanwhile\, in two other Venices Venice Beach\, California\, circa 1958\, and the Venice casino in Las Vegas\, circa today two other schemers launch similarly dangerous plans to get away with a secret . . .\nAll three stories will weave together into a spell-binding tour-de-force that is impossible to put down an old-fashioned\, stay-up-all-night novel that\, in the end\, returns the reader to a stunning conclusion in the original Venice . . . and the bedazzled sense of having read a truly original and thrilling work of art.
