SUMMARY:Variny Yim
DESCRIPTION:Please join Green Apple Books on Clement street Thursday\, October 13th at 7:00 p.m.\, as we welcome Author Variny Yim as she reads from and discusses her book The Immigrant Princess. \n  \nBook Description: When three generations of women from the Cambodian royal family live as immigrants in the U.S.\, they struggle to find meaning and relevance in a new country that challenges their traditions and forces them to build a new life. Career-driven Sophea Lim\, the oldest granddaughter\, is saddled with the cultural responsibility of taking care of her mother and grandmother. However\, when she loses both a promotion and her American boyfriend\, she blames it on her traditional Cambodian upbringing and starts a war in her close-knit family. Although Sophea has an ally in her younger sister Ravy\, her mother and grandmother find her first-world complaints trivial compared to the real-world suffering of two-million Cambodians who perished at the hands of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge including her father. Turmoil erupts when Ravy encourages Sophea to move out of the house she shares with her mother and grandmother. Will Sophea shirk her responsibility to take care of her elders? Is her quest for independence worth hurting the two people she loves most? \n  \nAs always\, this in store event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Poetry Flash: Therése Halsheid + Lenore Weiss
DESCRIPTION:Therése Halscheid’s new book of poems is Frozen Latitudes. Paul Lisicky says\, “The wrenching attempt to comprehend a father’s dementia fires Therése Halscheid’s Frozen Latitudes. Past starvation\, past an encounter with a demanding landscape\, the poet emerges tougher\, wiser\, her compassion intact.” Her previous collections include Powertalk\, Without Home\, and Uncommon Geography\, which was a finalist for the Paterson Poetry Prize. A photographer as well as a poet\, she’s traveled widely through cultural exchange programs\, teaching in England and Russia\, and through the Alaskan Arts Council with an Inupiaq Eskimo tribe on White Mountain; her photography has chronicled her journeys and been in juried shows. She’s received fellowships from the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation and the New Jersey Council for the Arts. \nLenore Weiss’s new book of poems is Mortal. Sharon Doubiago says\, “Lenore Weiss’s psychic linguistic engagement borders on the surreal\, on the transcendent\, the mystical\, the magical\, and on the mundane and familiar.” She’s published two earlier books of poems\, Cutting Down the Last Tree on Easter Island and Two Places. She’s blogged for the Jewish Book Council and Basmati\, and she works as copy editor for the Blue Lyra Review.
