SUMMARY:Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan: Sarong Party Girls
DESCRIPTION:Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan presents Sarong Party Girls\, a brilliant and engaging novel—Emma set in modern Asia—about a young woman’s rise in the glitzy city of Singapore\, where old traditions clash with modern materialism. Jazzy is a bombastic yet tenderly vulnerable gold-digger who reveals the contentious gender politics and class tensions thrumming beneath the shiny exterior of Singapore’s glamorous nightclubs and busy streets. Moving through Jazzy’s colorful\, stratified world\, she realizes she cannot ignore the troubling incongruity of new money and old-world attitudes which threaten to crush her dreams.Vividly told in Singlish— Singaporean English with its distinctive cadence and slang—Sarong Party Girls brilliantly captures the unique voice of this young\, striving woman caught between worlds. With remarkable vibrancy and empathy\, Cheryl Tan brings not only Jazzy\, but the city of Singapore\, to dazzling\, dizzying life. \n\n\nBorn and raised in Singapore\, Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan is a New York–based journalist and author of A Tiger in the Kitchen: A Memoir of Food and Family\, and edited the fiction anthology Singapore Noir. She has been a staff writer at the Wall StreetJournal\, InStyle magazine\, and the Baltimore Sun.

SUMMARY:Laurel Ann Bogen + Mk Chavez
DESCRIPTION:Laurel Ann Bogen’s new book is Psychosis in the Produce Department: New and Selected Poems\, 1975-2015. Steve Kowit said\, “Laurel Ann Bogen’s poems are lethal and smoking…an exuberant mix of human passions\, a collection of poems that are at once mad with voltage and utterly sane.” Her collections include Washing a Language and The Last Girl in the Land of Butterflies. Ranging in themes as diverse as horrific beauty and exquisite madness\, dysfunctional families\, love and anti-love\, life in Los Angeles and Hollywood\, and growing up as a Baby Boomer\, these poems offer sly\, humorous\, surreal\, and genre-busting work that can only be called Vintage Bogen. She was also a founding member of the celebrated performance group Nearly Fatal Women. \nMk Chavez’s new book is Mothermorphosis. Blas Falconer says\, “The extraordinary poems in Mothermorphosis place readers in the particular life of a daughter and her schizophrenic mother; however\, a larger world\, full of war and tenderness\, misunderstanding and clarity\, vulnerability and empowerment…is present\, too\, so the book speaks with great urgency for all and to all of us.” She is author of Virgin Eyes and several other chapbooks; a new full-length collection\, Dear Animal\, is forthcoming this fall. Co-founder and co-curator of Lyrics & Dirges\, the Berkeley-based monthly reading series\, she is also co-director of the Berkeley Poetry Festival and a proud member of the Association of Black & Black Writers
