SUMMARY:Gish Jen's The Resisters Book Talk with Helen Zia
DESCRIPTION:A moving and important story of an America that seems ever more possible\, The Resisters is also the story of one family struggling to maintain its humanity and normalcy in circumstances that threaten their every value–as well as their very existence. Gish will be in conversation with Helen Zia\, activist/author of Last Boat Out of Shanghai and Asian American Dreams. \n“The Resisters is palpably loving\, smart\, funny\, and desperately unsettling. The novel should be required reading for the country both as a cautionary tale and because it is a stone-cold masterpiece. This is Gish Jen’s moment. She has pitched a perfect game.” –Ann Patchett \nGISH JEN is the author of four previous novels\, a story collection\, and two works of nonfiction\, the latest of which was The Girl at the Baggage Claim: Explaining the East-West Culture Gap. Her honors include the Lannan Literary Award for fiction and the Mildred and Harold Strauss Living Award from the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. \nCo-presented by Oakland Asian Cultural Center\, National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum Bay Area Chapter\, Asian Health Services\, and Eastwind Books of Berkeley. \nFREE\, $3-5 suggested donation (no one turned away for lack of funds)

SUMMARY:Clement: Schulkind\, McClung\, Grafton\, & Barnes
DESCRIPTION:About the Authors \nLynne Barnes was born in Georgia and moved to New York City in 1968 with a front row ticket\nto HAIR\, before migrating to San Francisco in 1969\, two years after the Summer of Love. She\nwas part of a commune that thrived for twenty years in the Haight Ashbury. She is a former\npsych nurse and librarian. Her beloved partner\, Carole\, created the cover art for her book.\nFALLING INTO FLOWERS was the recipient of the 2017 Rainbow Award for Best Gay and Lesbian\nPoetry\, a finalist for the 2018 Eric Hoffer Book Award\, and received Honorable Mention in both\nthe “Gay” and “Poetry” categories for the 2018 San Francisco Book Festival. \nGrace Marie Grafton’s latest book\, LENS\, from Unsolicited Press\, features poems inspired by\nthe art of California. Six additional collections of her poetry have been published. Her poems\nwon first prize in the Soul Making contest (PEN women\, San Francisco)\, in Bellingham Review\,\nand from The National Women’s Book Association\, and have twice been nominated for a\nPushcart Prize. Ms. Grafton taught with CA Poets in the Schools\, earning twelve CA Arts Council\ngrants for her teaching programs. Recent poems appear in basalt\, Sin Fronteras\, Pirene’s\nFountain\, Canary\, Nostos\, Ambush\, Peacock Journal\, and Mezzo Cammin. \nKathleen McClung is the author of two poetry collections\, The Typists Play Monopoly and\nAlmost the Rowboat. Her work appears widely in journals and anthologies including Southwest\nReview\, Naugatuck River Review\, Mezzo Cammin\, The MacGuffin\, Forgotten Women\,\nSanctuary\, Fire and Rain: Ecopoetry of California\, and elsewhere. Winner of the Rita Dove\,\nMorton Marr\, Shirley McClure\, and Maria W. Faust national poetry prizes\, she is a Pushcart and\nBest of the Net nominee. Associate director of the Soul-Making Keats literary competition\, she\nhas mentored hundreds of writers at Skyline College\, The Writing Salon\, and other colleges and\nhas taught/advised student teachers in the credential program at Mills College. For ten years\nshe has directed Women on Writing: WOW Voices Now on the Skyline campus. In 2018-2019\nshe is a writer-in-residence at Friends of the San Francisco Public Library.\n \nLaura Schulkind\, an attorney by day\, is entrusted with others’ stories.

Her writing has also appeared in numerous literary\njournals including: The Dallas Review\, Diverse Voices Quarterly\, Dos Passos Review\, Forge\, The\nMacGuffin\, and Reed Magazine.\nHer recent collection The Long Arc of Grief\, dedicated to her parents\, was impelled by suddenly\nfinding herself in a world without them. But it also moves beyond grief\, exploring how we all\nnot merely carry on\, but live. In telling these stories\, she has been described as\, “a fearless\ntruth-teller\, shining the light of her poetic language on details we well might have missed\notherwise–the small\, miraculous moments of discovery\, heartbreak and redemption.” Barbara\nQuick (Vivaldi’s Virgins) Her published work\, and additional reviews can also be found at:\nwww.lauraschulkind.com\, along with musings on why “lawyer-poet” isn’t an oxymoron.
