SUMMARY:William Brewer reads poems about addiction Mill Valley Library Cosponsored by Marin Poetry Center
DESCRIPTION:These moving and dramatic poems tackle the pain of the opioid addiction in West Virginia\, how it affects family\, addicts and the community. Brewer manages to infuse the poems with beauty and hope as well as speaking in the many voices of the epidemic \nRooted in the physical and spiritual landscape of West Virginia\, the poems focus on the small town of Oceana (nicknamed Oxyana for the record number of overdoses there)\, Oceana acts as a stand-in for West Virginia as a whole\, which has the highest OD rate in the country. \nThe poems are at once dreamlike and visceral\, and the images in it draw on the beauty and pain of a West Virginia that is\, in Brewer’s words “last on every list\,” a state that people in the nation’s capital\, only a few hours away\, barely acknowledge and clearly don’t care much about. \nWilliam Brewer’s book\, I Know Your Kind (Milkweed Editions\, 2017) was the winner of the National Poetry Series. His work has appeared in Boston Review\, The Iowa Review\, Narrative (where it was awarded the 30 Below Prize)\, ZYZZYVA\, New England Review\, The New Yorker\, and other journals. Currently a Stegner Fellow at Stanford University\, he was born and raised in West Virginia. For more about William Brewer\, see the PBS segment or the ZYZZYVA interview.

SUMMARY:Vincent Pizzuto
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, May 31st at 7:00 p.m. as we welcome Vincent Pizzuto as he reads from his new book Contemplating Christ. \nThe incarnation has made mystics of us all. What if we read the gospels as if that were true? In his book Contemplating Christ\, Vincent Pizzuto offers an exploration of the interior life for modern contemplatives that is as beautiful as it is compelling. With an emphasis on the gospels and Christian mystical tradition\, his book explores ancient themes in new and surprising ways. Drawing on his rich experience as an academic and priest\, Pizzuto gradually unfolds the Christian mystery of deification to which the whole of biblical revelation and the Christian contemplative life are ordered: through the incarnation\, we have all been made “other Christs” in the world.
