SUMMARY:Jeramy DeCristo
DESCRIPTION:Jeramy DeCristo is a black Bay Area-based artist and writer working in sound\, text\, image\, structure and movement. The conceptual dimensions of his work\, whether art installation or poetry\, emerge largely from thinking and rethinking blackness as a profoundly radical aesthetic form and material; specifically he thinks through the formal\, material and epistemological worlds made possible in and through black music. He also makes music under his own name and the pseudonym OKeh. DeCristo is currently a University of California President’s Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Literature Department at UC San Diego where he is working on a book about black experimental music\, entitled Blackness and the Writing of Sound in Modernity. He obtained his PhD from the History of Consciousness Program at UC Santa Cruz in 2015.

SUMMARY:Jensen Beach + Colin Winnette
DESCRIPTION:Colin Winnette talks with Jensen Beach about his short story collection\, Swallowed by the Cold (Graywolf Press). \n\nPraise for Jensen Beach: \n\n“The shocking accident in the first story of Swallowed by the Cold centers this collection like a knife. Jensen Beach understands the deep uneasiness of men and women\, and in his stories lie surprises—mortal surprises\, among others—that are revealed in vivid episodes of quiet harm. This book held me fast.”—Ron Carlson \n\n“Jensen Beach is a master of linguistic restraint\, a writer whose precision\, empathy\, and relentless honesty form the spine of this extraordinary work of fiction. Taken individually\, these stories are works of art. It’s when the collection is viewed as a whole\, however\, that an intricate fictional latticework emerges. Each story here is the progenitor of the next\, each life therein a quiet catastrophe\, each character both victim and witness\, bound to every other character in those unknowable ways that bind us all together. This is not just a book\, but a world.”—Jack Livings\, author of The Dog \n\n“Swallowed by the Cold moved me enormously. Jensen Beach renders his characters in a way that is both unsettling and deeply complex\, and he imbues the Swedish landscape that surrounds them with a layered personality. This is a wonderful book—graceful and assured\, spare and compassionate—and Jensen Beach is a fiercely talented writer.”—Molly Antopol \n\n\nAbout Swallowed by the Cold: \n\nThe intricate\, interlocking stories of Jensen Beach’s extraordinarily poised story collection are set in a Swedish village on the Baltic Sea as well as in Stockholm over the course of two eventful years.\nIn “Swallowed by the Cold\,” people are besieged and haunted by disasters both personal and national: a fatal cycling accident\, a drowned mother\, a fire on a ferry\, a mysterious arson\, the assassination of the Swedish foreign minister\, and\, decades earlier\, the Soviet bombing of Stockholm. In these stories\, a drunken\, lonely woman is convinced that her new neighbor is the daughter of her dead lover; a one-armed tennis player and a motherless girl reckon with death amid a rainstorm; and happening upon a car crash\, a young woman is unaccountably drawn to the victim\, even as he slides into a coma and her marriage falls into jeopardy.\nAgain and again\, Beach’s protagonists find themselves unable to express their innermost feelings to those they are closest to\, but at the same time they are drawn to confide in strangers. In its confidence and subtle precision\, Beach’s prose evokes their reticence but is supple enough to reveal deeper passions and intense longing. Shot through with loss and the regret of missed opportunities\, “Swallowed by the Cold” is a searching and crystalline book by a startlingly talented young writer.
