SUMMARY:Preserving Fire: A meditation on the prose of Philip Lamantia
DESCRIPTION:with Garrett Caples and Friends \nCelebrating the release of \nPreserving Fire: Selected Prose \nBy Philip Lamantia \nEdited by Garrett Caples \npublished by Wave Books \nPreserving Fire recounts the life and thought of Surrealist\, Beat Generation\, and San Francisco Renaissance poet Philip Lamantia through his fugitive prose works. Ranging from poetry to politics to mythology to dance\, from manifestos to travelogues to wartime declarations of conscientious objection\, these writings—expertly collected by Garrett Caples—offer a dynamic picture of Lamantia’s multifaceted intellectual life and the artistic movements he helped shape. \nPhilip Lamantia (1927–2005) was an influential Surrealist\, Beat\, and San Francisco Renaissance poet. He is the author of many books\, including Erotic Poems\, Touch of the Marvelous\, Meadowlark West\, Tau and Journey to the End\, and The Collected Poems of Philip Lamantia. \nGarrett Caples is the editor of Philip Lamantia’s Preserving Fire: Selected Prose (Wave Books\, forthcoming 2018)\, as well as the author of Power Ballads (Wave Books\, 2016)\, Retrievals (2014)\, The Garrett Caples Reader (1999)\, Complications (2007)\, and Quintessence of the Minor (2010). He is also the co-editor of The Collected Poems of Philip Lamantia (2013)\, Particulars of Place (2015) by Richard O. Moore\, and Incidents of Travel in Poetry: New and Selected Poems (2016) by Frank Lima. He is an editor at City Lights Books and curates the Spotlight Poetry Series there. He was also a contributing writer to the San Francisco Bay Guardian. He has written articles and blogged for the Poetry Foundation and occasionally blogs for blogcitylights.com. He has a Ph.D. in English from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and lives in San Francisco. \nPhilip was a visionary like Blake\, and he really saw the whole world in a grain of sand.\n—Lawrence Ferlinghetti \nPhilip Lamantia’s Collected Poems is beyond scale\, weight\, or measure. There is no proportion in this intertwining of soul-buildings. These are the inexorable and ineffable projects of an inspired consciousness set at full tilt in raging protest\, kisses\, prayers\, blessings and outraged demands. All from the deepest silence and farthest travel. The reader’s excitement is carried by Lamantia’s spiritual and physical beat. This surreal and mantic project drives farther than anything before or after. Breathtaking! These works are of synesthetic beauty to the eye\, the ear\, and the open interior of the heart. They come from the peaks and herbs and forests where the meadowlark speaks.\n—Michael McClure

SUMMARY:BINDERY: Yeah Yeah Yeah's Nick Zinner\, Zachary Lipez & Stacy Wakefield / 131 Different Things
DESCRIPTION:The Bindery hosts a special evening with the Yeah Yeah Yeah’sNick Zinner\, Zachary Lipez\, and Stacy Wakefield for their new book\, 131 Different Things. Please join us! \n  \nWhen Sam\, a bartender in New York\, hears that his ex\, Vicki\, his one true love\, has quit AA and is out drinking again\, he embarks on a quest to find her. Sam and his sidekick Francis trek from dive bars to gay bars to rocker bars—encountering skinheads\, party promoters\, underage drug dealers\, and dominatrixes—but they are always one step behind Vicki. It begins to seem like 131 different things are keeping the lovers apart. Before the night is over\, Sam will have to wrestle with what he is really looking for. \nNick Zinner—who plays guitar in the three-time Grammy-nominated band Yeah Yeah Yeahs—provides the visual framework for this inventive novella with his intimate photography. Known for his essays and music writing for Noisey\, Vice\, and Penthouse\, Zachary Lipez brings his pithy\, multilayered\, and self-deprecating voice to this debut work of fiction. The prose and photography are tied together in a playful taxonomic scheme by editor and art director Stacy Wakefield\, the author of the novel The Sunshine Crust Baking Factory. The three artists have collaborated on four previous books\, most recently Please Take Me Off the Guest List. \n  \n\n  \nZachary Lipez lives in New York City\, where he has tended bar for the last twenty years. He is a regular contributor to Noisey\, and his music and culture writing have also appeared in Vice\, Hazlitt\, Pitchfork\, Bandcamp Daily\, Talkhouse\, Inc.\, and Penthouse. \nNick Zinner plays guitar in the three-time Grammy-nominated band Yeah Yeah Yeahs and hardcore group Head Wound City. His photos have been published in four previous books\, as well as in the New York Times\, Vice\, and Rolling Stone. He has exhibited in solo shows in Tokyo\, Berlin\, New York\, London\, Los Angeles\, and Mexico City. \nStacy Wakefield’s artist books\, published for many years under the imprint Evil Twin\, have been collected by institutions including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and London’s Tate Modern. She runs a studio dedicated solely to book design and production. Her first novel\, The Sunshine Crust Baking Factory\, was published by Akashic in 2015. She lives in the Catskills and Brooklyn. \n  \n\n  \nPlease note: this event will be at The Bindery at 1727 Haight. \n  \nThis is a free\, all-ages event\, with mature themes. The bar opens with doors at 7pm; event begins at 7:30. \n  \nRSVP appreciated but not required. \n

SUMMARY:Chaya Bhuvaneswar discusses her new story collection\, White Dancing Elephants with Lydia Kiesling
DESCRIPTION:Chaya Bhuvaneswar discusses her new story collection\, White Dancing Elephants with Lydia Kiesling. \n\nPraise for White Dancing Elephants \n\n“Chaya Bhuvaneswar’s debut collection maps with great assurance the intricate outer reaches of the human heart. What a bold\, smart\, exciting new voice\, well worth listening to; what an elegant story collection to read and savor.” Lauren Groff \n\n“A bold\, honest\, often provocative first collection from a fresh new voice.” Jeff VanderMeer \n\n“Reading Chaya Bhuvaneswar is like receiving Lasik via literature—the world you return to is a little clearer and sharper for the time you’ve spent in her pages. She is a formidable talent\, formally accomplished and intellectually alive.”  Anthony Marra \n\nAbout White Dancing Elephants \n\nA woman grieves a miscarriage\, haunted by the Buddha’s birth. An artist with schizophrenia tries to survive hatred and indifference in small-town India by turning to the beauty of sculpture and dance. Orphans in India get pulled into a strange “rescue” mission aimed at stripping their mysterious powers. A brief but intense affair between two women culminates in regret and betrayal. A boy seeks memories of his sister in the legend of a woman who weds death. And fragments of history\, from child brickmakers to slaves in Renaissance Portugal\, are held up in brief fictions\, burnished\, made dazzling and unforgettable. \nIn sixteen remarkable stories\, Chaya Bhuvaneswar spotlights diverse women of color–cunning\, bold\, and resolute–facing sexual harassment and racial violence\, and occasionally inflicting that violence on each other. Winner of the 2017 Dzanc Short Story Collection Prize\, White Dancing Elephants marks the emergence of a new and original voice in fiction and explores feminist\, queer\, religious\, and immigrant stories with precision\, drama\, and compassion. \n
