SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Kim Addonizio and Bob Hicok
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Monday\, March 22nd at 6pm PT when Kim Addonizio joins us to discuss her latest collection\, Now We’re Getting Somewhere\, with Bob Hicock on Zoom!\n\nZoom Login Info\nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86298421877\n\nAbout Now We’re Getting Somewhere\nA dark\, no-holds-barred\, and often hilarious collection from a prize-winning poet\, veering between the poles of self and world.\n\nKim Addonizio’s sharp and irreverent eighth volume\, Now We’re Getting Somewhere\, is an essential companion to your practice of the Finnish art of kalsarikännit—drinking at home\, alone in your underwear\, with no intention of going out. Imbued with the poet’s characteristic precision and passion\, the collection charts a hazardous course through heartache\, climate change\, dental work\, Outlander\, semiotics\, and more.\nCombatting existential gloom with a wicked\, seductive energy\, Addonizio investigates desire\, loss\, and the madness of contemporary life. She calls out to Walt Whitman and John Keats\, echoes Dorothy Parker\, and finds sisterhood with Virginia Woolf.\n\nSometimes confessional\, sometimes philosophical\, these poems weave from desolation to drollery and clamor with raucous imagery: an insect in high heels\, a wolf at an uncomfortable party\, a glowing and self-serious guitar.\n\nA poet whose “voice lifts from the page\, alive and biting” (Sky Sanchez\, San Francisco Book Review)\, Addonizio reminds her reader\, “if you think nothing & / no one can / listen I love you joy is coming.”\n\nAbout Kim Addonizio\nKim Addonizio is the author of eight poetry collections\, two novels\, two story collections\, and two books on writing poetry: The Poet’s Companion (with Dorianne Laux) and Ordinary Genius. Her poetry collection Tell Me was a finalist for the National Book Award\, and her 2016 collection\, Mortal Trash\, won the Paterson Poetry Prize. Addonizio’s awards include fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation\, among other honors. She lives in Oakland\, California.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: Iain S. Thomas / The Truth of You: Poetry about Love\, Life\, Joy\, and Sadness
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith is thrilled to host Iain S. Thomas again for his new book The Truth of You: Poetry About Love\, Life\, Joy\, and Sadness.

I see you as a story\, as words I have spoken or may yet speak. Maybe only in a memory or a dream. \nI see your hands and your arms and your body and your legs and your face and I see what you have been and what you will be. I see you and in looking at you\, I want you to know that whoever you’ve had to be to survive all this\, I will not look away. \nI want you to know that there’s a space inside this book for you. \nSo if you have the time and the inclination\, you can sit here with me\, just for a while. \nAnd perhaps between us\, we can see everything that matters. \n-pleasefindthis \nAbout the authors\nIain S. Thomas is a writer and new media artist. He is the author of several books including Every Word You Cannot Say and the internationally bestselling I Wrote This For You series. When he’s not writing\, drawing or working\, he spends time with his family in the outdoors in Cape Town\, South Africa. \namanda lovelace is the author of several bestselling poetry titles\, including her celebrated “women are some kind of magic” trilogy as well as her new “you are your own fairy tale” series. she is also the co-creator of the believe in your own magic oracle deck. when she isn’t reading\, writing\, or drinking a much-needed cup of coffee\, you can find her casting spells from her home in a (very) small town on the jersey shore\, where she resides with her poet-spouse & their three cats. \nThis event is free and all ages\, but RSVP is required.
