SUMMARY:Katherine Applegate
DESCRIPTION:Meet beloved author Katherine Applegate  and fall in love with Wishtree\, a heartwarming story that reveals the powers of love\, healing\, and community \n\n\n\n\n\nRed is an oak tree who is many rings old. Red is the neighborhood “wishtree”―people write their wishes on pieces of cloth and tie them to Red’s branches. Along with a crow named Bongo and other animals who seek refuge in Red’s hollows\, this wishtree watches over the neighborhood. You might say Red has seen it all.  Until a new family moves in. Not everyone is welcoming\, and Red’s experience as a wishtree is more important than ever. \nFunny\, deep\, warm\, and nuanced\, this is Katherine Applegate at her very best―writing from the heart and from a completely unexpected point of view. \nKatherine Applegate is the Newbery Medal–winning and #1 New York Times bestselling author of numerous books for young readers\, including The One and Only Ivan\, Crenshaw\, Wishtree\, and the Animorphs series.

SUMMARY:Songs of Dismantling: Standing as Witness in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:Poets Randall Mann and  Fernando Pérez \nread poetry and discuss the poetic experience as a method of cultural healing \nmoderated by Ingrid Rojas Contreras \nA night of reading and discussion where “Standing as witness” is the over-riding theme. An exploration of the demonization and marginalization of the “other” in the U.S. What do we need to admit to ourselves to move beyond injustice and totalitarian impulses. What memes could be useful to us in spreading a message of inclusion. Poetry is explored as a vehicle to transform culture. \nFernando Pérez celebrates the release of a new book of poetry \nA Song of Dismantling: Poems \npublished by University of New Mexico Press \nIn this dynamic debut collection\, Fernando Pérez employs lyric and nonce forms to interrogate identity politics and piece together a complex family history. The book embodies fragmentation in form and story\, exploring how migration affects relationships between people of different generations. Pérez invites readers on the journey as his family story unfolds over time and distance. \nRandal Mann’s most current collection is titled: \nProprietary \npublished by Persea Press \nProprietary and critiques corporate culture\, depicting (and slyly rebuking) the American materialism that erupted in the 1980s and has metastasized ever since. For years\, Randall Mann has been hailed as one of contemporary American poetry’s most daring formalists\, expertly using craft as a way of exploring racy subjects with trenchant wit and aplomb. \nFernando Pérez teaches at Bellevue College. His poems have been widely published in literary journals\, including Crab Orchard Review\, Más Tequila Review\, Exquisite Corpse\, and Hinchas de Poesia. \nRandall Mann is the author of Complaint in the Garden (2004)\, which won the Kenyon Review Prize in Poetry; Breakfast with Thom Gunn (2009)\, finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for Gay Poetry and the California Book Award; Straight Razor (2013)\, also a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award; and Proprietary (2017). He is co-author of the textbook Writing Poems (2007). Mann received the 2013 J. Howard and Barbara M.J. Wood Prize from Poetry. His most recent book is Proprietary: Poems\,  published by Persea Press. \nIngrid Rojas Contreras is the 2014 recipient of the Mary Tanenbaum Literary Award in Nonfiction from the San Francisco Foundation. She has received awards and support from Bread Loaf\, Hedgebrook\, the San Francisco Writer’s Grotto\, Djerassi Artist Residency\, National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures\, and the San Francisco Arts Commission. Currently\, she is working on a memoir about her grandfather\, a medicine man from Colombia who it was said could move clouds.

SUMMARY:Sébastien Régnier and Barbara Browning / Who the Hell is Imre Lodbrog?
DESCRIPTION:The Bindery welcomes Sébastien Régnier and Barbara Browning for a reading and live music in celebration of their new book\, Who the Hell is Imre Lodbrog?. Join us! \nA very true love story\, told in counterpoint\, about friendship\, politics and rock n roll. \nIn Barbara Browning’s eyes\, Imre Lodbrog is the greatest aging French rock star you’ve never heard of\, with the appeal of “Leonard Cohen\, Bob Dylan or Serge Gainsbourg on shrooms.” For Imre Lodbrog\, music is an alter-ego experience―a late-in-life outlet for a mild-mannered screenwriter deeply shaped by the generation of May ‘68. Both ask the same questions: What revolution has wreaked more havoc and beauty than rock ‘n’ roll? And why do a certain few geniuses inside every revolution go silent and unrecognized? \n— \nSébastien Régnier is an award-winning screenwriter from France (Kabloonak\, Martha Martha). \nBarbara Browning has published three novels\, including The Gift (or\, Techniques of the Body) – a New York Times Editor’s Choice – as well as I’m Trying to Reach You and The Correspondence Artist.
