SUMMARY:Jenny Offill: Weather
DESCRIPTION:Jenny Offill\, bestselling author of Dept of Speculation\, visits Point Reyes to discuss her highly anticipated novel\, Weather. Jenny will be in conversation with the bookstore’s Stephen Sparks. \nAbout Weather:\nLizzie Benson slid into her job as a librarian without a traditional degree. But this gives her a vantage point from which to practice her other calling: she is a fake shrink. For years she has tended to her God-haunted mother and her recovering addict brother. They have both stabilized for the moment\, but Lizzie has little chance to spend her new free time with husband and son before her old mentor\, Sylvia Liller\, makes a proposal. She’s become famous for her prescient podcast\, Hell and High Water\, and wants to hire Lizzie to answer the mail she receives: from left-wingers worried about climate change and right-wingers worried about the decline of western civilization. As Lizzie dives into this polarized world\, she begins to wonder what it means to keep tending your own garden once you’ve seen the flames beyond its walls. When her brother becomes a father and Sylvia a recluse\, Lizzie is forced to address the limits of her own experience–but still she tries to save everyone\, using everything she’s learned about empathy and despair\, conscience and collusion\, from her years of wandering the library stacks . . . And all the while the voices of the city keep floating in–funny\, disturbing\, and increasingly mad. \nAbout Jenny Offill:\nJENNY OFFILL is the author of the novels Last Things (a New York Times Notable Book of the Year and a finalist for the L.A. Times First Book Award)\, and Dept. of Speculation\, which was shortlisted for the Folio Prize\, the Pen Faulkner Award and the International Dublin Award. She lives in upstate New York and teaches at Syracuse University and in the low residency program at Queens University.

SUMMARY:Two Remarkable Poets on Disability Poetics and Activism
DESCRIPTION:The Poetry Center’s In Common Writers Series opens 2020 with a program featuring two remarkable poet/writers\, each with significant work in disability poetics and activism. This event\, with Jennifer Bartlett and Denise Leto\, is supported by the Walter & Elise Haas Fund. \nJennifer Bartlett was born in the San Francisco Bay Area. Of her work\, Nathaniel Tarn writes\, “Jennifer Bartlett has created not a new form of surrealism\, nor of magical realism\, but a kind of supernal realism which leaves room for dreams\, visions\, and angels as well as the panoplies of both country and urban life.” She lives in Brooklyn\, New York\, and she works part-time in the Office of the President of New York City Transit. Here she works with a team on bringing accessibility to the New York City transit system. In addition to being a poet and writer\, she is an activist for people with disabilities throughout New York. \nDenise Leto is a multidisciplinary poet\, writer\, editor\, and dance dramaturge. She wrote the book of poetry for the collaborative dance performance Your Body is Not a Shark\, exploring feminist embodiment\, voice\, and disability poetics.  Denise is a member of Olimpias\, an international disability performance collective. Her current project is an ecopoetic exploration of the San Francisco Bay. New poems are forthcoming in Quarterly West and Rogue Agent.
