SUMMARY:MIKE CHEN at Books Inc. Palo Alto
DESCRIPTION:With pieces featured in The Mary Sue\, The Portalist\, and Tor\, local writer Mike Chen shares his debut novel\, Here and Now and Then. \nTo save his daughter\, he’ll go anywhere–and any-when… Kin Stewart is an everyday family man: working in IT\, trying to keep the spark in his marriage\, struggling to connect with his teenage daughter\, Miranda. But his current life is a far cry from his previous career…as a time-traveling secret agent from 2142.Stranded in suburban San Francisco since the 1990s after a botched mission\, Kin has kept his past hidden from everyone around him\, despite the increasing blackouts and memory loss affecting his time-traveler’s brain. Until one afternoon\, his “rescue” team arrives–eighteen years too late.Their mission: return Kin to 2142\, where he’s only been gone weeks\, not years\, and where another family is waiting for him. A family he can’t remember.Torn between two lives\, Kin is desperate for a way to stay connected to both. But when his best efforts threaten to destroy the agency and even history itself\, his daughter’s very existence is at risk. It’ll take one final trip across time to save Miranda–even if it means breaking all the rules of time travel in the process.A uniquely emotional genre-bending debut\, Here and Now and Then captures the perfect balance of heart\, playfulness\, and imagination\, offering an intimate glimpse into the crevices of a father’s heart and its capacity to stretch across both space and time to protect the people that mean the most. \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nWednesday\, January 30\, 2019 – 7:00pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nBooks Inc.\n74 Town & Country Village\n\nPalo Alto\, CA

SUMMARY:Sally Wen Mao
DESCRIPTION:reading and in conversation with Jennifer S. Cheng \ncelebrating the release of \nOculus: Poems \npublished by Graywolf Press \nIn Oculus\, Sally Wen Mao explores exile not just as a matter of distance and displacement\, but as a migration through time and a reckoning with technology. The title poem follows a girl in Shanghai who uploaded her suicide onto Instagram. Other poems cross into animated worlds\, examine robot culture\, and haunt a necropolis for electronic waste. A fascinating sequence speaks in the voice of international icon and first Chinese American movie star Anna May Wong\, who travels through the history of cinema with a time machine\, even past her death and into the future of film\, where she finds she has no progeny. With a speculative imagination and a sharpened wit\, Mao powerfully confronts the paradoxes of seeing and being seen\, the intimacies made possible and ruined by the screen\, and the many roles and representations that women of color are made to endure in order to survive a culture that seeks to consume them. \nSally Wen Mao is the author of a previous poetry collection\, Mad Honey Symposium. She has received fellowships from the New York Public Library Cullman Center\, the George Washington University\, and Kundiman. Visit: http://www.sallywenmao.com/ \nJennifer S. Cheng is the author of MOON: Letters\, Maps\, Poems\, selected by Bhanu Kapil as winner of the Tarpaulin Sky Book Prize and named one of the Best Books of 2018 by Publishers Weekly; HOUSE A\, selected by Claudia Rankine as winner of the Omnidawn Poetry Book Prize; and Invocation: An Essay (New Michigan Press)\, A U.S. Fulbright scholar\, Kundiman fellow\, and Bread Loaf work-study scholar\, she is the recipient of the Academy of American Poets Harold Taylor Award\, the Ann Fields Poetry Award\, the Mid-American Review Fineline Prize\, and multiple Pushcart Prize nominations. Her poetry\, lyric essays\, and image-text work appear in Tin House\, AGNI\, Conjunctions\, Black Warrior Review\, The Normal School\, DIAGRAM\, The Volta\, Sonora Review\, Seneca Review\, Hong Kong 20/20 (a PEN HK anthology)\, and elsewhere.
