SUMMARY:Launch for Katie Burke / Urban Playground: What Kids Say About Living in San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:To outsiders\, the Bay Area is intrinsically linked to tech hubs and counterculture. But what about San Francisco’s kid culture? In her new book\, “Urban Playground: What Kids Say About Living in San Francisco\,” Katie Burke explores the experience of kids ages five to nine living in one of the country’s most iconic cultural hubs. \nThe book also includes thoughtful discussion questions designed to draw laughs\, explore various topics from silly to serious\, and facilitate discussion. \nWriter of Noe Kids\, a column of kid profiles for San Francisco neighborhood newspaper The Noe Valley Voice\, Katie Burke brings city kids’ personalities and perspectives to the page\, leading readers to see the joys and challenges to being a San Francisco kid. \nOne five-year-old tries to articulate the city’s aroma\, “I smell a delicious smell\, and it always smells like San Francisco. I don’t know what the smell is\, so I can’t really tell it to people\, but it smells different from ice cream.” \nBut it isn’t all about parks and ice cream. Drawing on her experience being an aunt to six nieces and two nephews (all of whom grew up in major cities)\, Burke unearths an often hidden and unasked perspective on the city’s more complicated subjects –– from homelessness to immigrant parents. By leaning in and crouching down to see a child’s point of view\, Burke shows us a part of San Francisco we never knew. \n\nKatie Burke is a family law attorney and writer in San Francisco. Prior to entering law school\, she earned a master’s degree in counseling. She owns Burke Family Law and writes Noe Kids\, a monthly column for The Noe Valley Voice\, in which she spotlights children ages four to twelve who live in San Francisco’s Noe Valley neighborhood\, after interviewing them on various themes. She also regularly contributes judicial and attorney profiles to San Francisco Attorney\, the Bar Association of San Francisco’s magazine. Burke has been published by HarperCollins\, the L.A. Times\, The Journal of Law and Social Challenges\, Trial Insider\, BASF Bulletin (the Bar Association of San Francisco’s newspaper)\, Legal by the Bay (the Bar Association of San Francisco’s blog)\, the San Francisco Chronicle\, The Examiner\, The Fairfield Citizen-News\, The SoMa Literary Review\, Women’s Voices\, The Sitting Room\, The Compass\, Culture-Voice\, and The Street Spirit. She has been broadcast for KQED\, read at Litquake\, and taught writing at City College of San Francisco. \n\nPlease note: this event will be held at The Bindery\, 1727 Haight. \nThis is a free\, all-ages event. The bar opens at 5:30pm; event starts at 6pm. \nRSVP appreciated but not required. \nAs with all of our events\, seating may be limited; you can guarantee a seat by pre-purchasing the book below — when checking out\, just be sure to include a note that you’d like to attend the event. If you cannot attend the event but would like to request a signed copy of Urban Playground\, order below and be sure to put your request in the comments field. \nAccessibility is important to us!

SUMMARY:1968 + Global Cinema w/ Author and Editor Christina Gerhardt
DESCRIPTION:A reading and conversation with Christina Gerhardt\, who will discuss her recent three books about 1968. \n1968 and Global Cinema puts cinemas of the long 1968 into dialogue with one another across national boundaries\, considering them in tandem histories of 1968 and the interplay among social movements globally. Screening the Red Army Faction: Historical and Cultural Memory studies the Red Army Faction (RAF)\, a German left-wing armed struggle group that existed from 1970 to 1998\, presenting the historical and political context out of which they emerged\, in post-fascist era West Germany and globally as the Cold War set in and self-liberation and self-determination wars were waged.

SUMMARY:Lisa Robertson at Point Reyes Books
DESCRIPTION:Poet Lisa Robertson visits Point Reyes to discuss her debut novel\, The Baudelaire Fractal. \nAbout The Baudelaire Fractal\nOne morning\, Hazel Brown awakes in a badly decorated hotel room to find that she’s written the complete works of Charles Baudelaire. In her bemusement the hotel becomes every cheap room she ever stayed in during her youthful perambulations in 1980s Paris … This is the legend of a she-dandy’s life. Part magical realism\, part feminist ars poetica\, part history of tailoring\, part bibliophilic anthem\, part love affair with nineteenth-century painting\, The Baudelaire Fractal is poet and art writer Lisa Robertson’s first novel. \n“As far as I’m concerned\, it’s already a classic.” – Anne Boyer \n“Robertson’s debut novel\, for those interested in the possibilities of fiction\, is not to be missed.” – Publishers Weekly \n“A new Lisa Robertson book is both a public event and a private kind of bacchanal.” – Los Angeles Review of Books. \nAbout Lisa Robertson\nLisa Robertson is a Canadian poet and essayist currently living in France. Born in Toronto in 1961\, she was a longtime resident of Vancouver\, where in the early 90s she began writing\, publishing and collaborating in a community of artists and poets that included Artspeak Gallery and The Kootenay School of Writing. In 2017 she was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Letters by Emily Carr University of Art and Design\, and in 2018\, the Foundation for the Contemporary Arts in NY awarded her the inaugural CD Wright Award in Poetry. She has taught at Cambridge University\, Princeton\, UC Berkeley\, California College of the Arts\, Piet Zwart Institute\, Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics and American University of Paris\, as well as holding research and residency positions at institutions across Canada\, the US\, and Europe.

SUMMARY:Sierra Crane Murdoch: Yellow Bird w/Lauren Markham
DESCRIPTION:EAST BAY BOOKSELLERS is excited to welcome Sierra Crane Murdoch to read from her new book\, Yellow Bird:Oil\, Murder\, and a Woman’s Search for Justice in Indian Country on Tuesday\, March 17th at 7pm. She will be joined in conversation by Lauren Markham. \nWhen Lissa Yellow Bird was released from prison in 2009\, she found her home\, the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in North Dakota\, transformed by the Bakken oil boom. In her absence\, the landscape had been altered beyond recognition\, her tribal government swayed by corporate interests\, and her community burdened by a surge in violence and addiction. Three years later\, when Lissa learned that a young white oil worker\, Kristopher “KC” Clarke\, had disappeared from his reservation worksite\, she became particularly concerned. No one knew where Clarke had gone\, and few people were actively looking for him. \nYellow Bird traces Lissa’s steps as she obsessively hunts for clues to Clarke’s disappearance. She navigates two worlds—that of her own tribe\, changed by its newfound wealth\, and that of the non-Native oilmen\, down on their luck\, who have come to find work on the heels of the economic recession. Her pursuit of Clarke is also a pursuit of redemption\, as Lissa atones for her own crimes and reckons with generations of trauma. Yellow Bird is an exquisitely written\, masterfully reported story about a search for justice and a remarkable portrait of a complex woman who is smart\, funny\, eloquent\, compassionate\, and—when it serves her cause—manipulative. Drawing on eight years of immersive investigation\, Sierra Crane Murdoch has produced a profound examination of the legacy of systematic violence inflicted on a tribal nation and a tale of extraordinary healing. \n  \nABOUT THE AUTHORS \n  \nSierra Crane Murdoch\, a journalist based in the American West\, has written for The Atlantic\, The New Yorker online\, Virginia Quarterly Review\, Orion\, and High Country News. She has held fellowships from Middlebury College and from the Investigative Reporting Program at the University of California\, Berkeley. She is a MacDowell Fellow. \nLauren Markham is a writer based in Berkeley\, California. Her work has appeared in VQR\, VICE\, Orion\, Pacific Standard\, Guernica\, The New Yorker.com\, on This American Life\, and elsewhere. Lauren earned her MFA in Fiction Writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts and has been awarded Fellowships from the Middlebury Fellowship in Environmental Journalism\, the 11th Hour Food and Farming Journalism Fellowship\, the Mesa Refuge\, and the Rotary Foundation. For the past decade\, she has worked in the fields of refugee resettlement and immigrant education.

SUMMARY:William J. Drummond
DESCRIPTION:discussing the subject of his new book \nPrison Truth: The Story of the San Quentin News \nfrom University of California Press \nSan Quentin State Prison\, California’s oldest prison and the nation’s largest\, is notorious for once holding America’s most dangerous prisoners. But in 2008\, the Bastille-by-the-Bay became a beacon for rehabilitation through the prisoner-run newspaper the San Quentin News. \nPrison Truth tells the story of how prisoners\, many serving life terms\, transformed the prison climate from what Johnny Cash called a living hell to an environment that fostered positive change in inmates’ lives. Award-winning journalist William J. Drummond takes us behind bars\, introducing us to Arnulfo García\, the visionary prisoner who led the revival of the newspaper. Drummond describes how the San Quentin News\, after a twenty-year shutdown\, was recalled to life under an enlightened warden and the small group of local retired newspaper veterans serving as advisers\, which Drummond joined in 2012. Sharing how officials cautiously and often unwittingly allowed the newspaper to tell the stories of the incarcerated\, Prison Truth illustrates the power of prison media to humanize the experiences of people inside penitentiary walls and to forge alliances with social justice networks seeking reform. \nWilliam J. Drummond is Professor of Journalism at the University of California\, Berkeley. His award-winning career includes stints at the Louisville Courier-Journal\, where he covered the civil rights movement\, and the Los Angeles Times\, where he was a local reporter\, then bureau chief in New Delhi and Jerusalem\, and later a Washington correspondent. He was appointed a White House Fellow by then president Gerald R. Ford and later became Jimmy Carter’s associate press secretary. He joined NPR in 1977 and became the founding editor of Morning Edition. At UC Berkeley\, Drummond was awarded the 2016 Leon A. Henkin Award for his distinguished service and exceptional commitment to the educational development of students from groups who are underrepresented in the academy.

SUMMARY:Harry Dodge
DESCRIPTION:Harry Dodge discusses his new book\, My Metorite: Or\, Without the Random There Can Be No New Thing. \nPraise for My Metorite \n“Dodge has offered a new\, luminous angle on autobiography that not only traces where the body has been–but also what it loves\, how it thinks and feels within the potent intellectual and physical detritus of its lived world. Reading this book is like being bathed in the bright\, gritty sear of a comet’s tail. But the mark it leaves is stunningly terrestrial: a thumbprint of a mind on paper–singular in erudition\, hurtfully wonder-struck\, and true.” —Ocean Vuong \n“Harry Dodge’s voice and vision are singular\, but his genius is for revealing how each of us is plural. This is a beautiful record of his loves and deaths and ways of making\, but even its most intimate moments open out\, become portals to other possible worlds. No genre can hold this book. It is a work of tender force\, prying open every category. My Meteorite is breathtaking—or breathgiving\, because the whole thing oxygenates discourse\, makes me feel alive.” —Ben Lerner\n \n“Captivating. My Meteorite holds you in its thrall like a brilliant friend—so vulnerable\, hot\, funny\, and casually weird that you don’t notice the profundity until you’re already walloped by it. Dodge juxtaposes the tenderest of human details with hungry\, brain-splitting inquiries into the very premise of life\, and these shifts in scale are incredibly moving and provocative. Don’t forget to notice that Dodge is a masterful writer; that’s how he pulls this whole thing off.” —Miranda July \n“A thought-filled\, deeply moving and personal book. The past\, present\, and future collide like Harry’s meteorite to earth. Life is tenderly felt\, questioned\, and affirmed within the pages of this exquisite prose.” —Catherine Opie\n \n“Riveting. A freewheeling\, feral romp through the wilderness of consciousness and connection!” —Eula Biss\n\n“Harry Dodge’s fierce intelligence and love permeates and shapes every line of this book which is redolent with loss\, desire\, and truth. Expansive in scope and intimate in detail\, Dodge’s account of becoming a self while living in a world defined by community\, lifts the spirit as it feeds the mind. A major achievement.” —Hilton Als\n\n“Harry’s book is ‘outside’ the book. Why should you read it? You’re out there too. I could say this is the smartest memoir I ever read but that’s pulling us back to the safe place. We are animals\, machines\, friends\, reading things and we’ve never been talked to this way before. Seductive and wise\, My Meteorite is the conversation you want.” —Eileen Myles  \nAbout My Metorite \nAn expansive\, radiant\, and genre-defying investigation into bonding—and how we are shaped by forces we cannot fully know \nIs love a force akin to gravity? A kind of invisible fabric which enables communications through space and time? Artist Harry Dodge finds himself contemplating such questions as his father declines from dementia and he rekindles a bewildering but powerful relationship with his birth mother. A meteorite Dodge orders on eBay becomes a mysterious catalyst for a reckoning with the vital forces of matter\, the nature of consciousness\, and the bafflements of belonging. \nStructured around a series of formative\, formidable coincidences in Dodge’s life\, My Meteorite journeys with stylistic bravura from Barthes to Blade Runner\, from punk to Pale Fire. It is a wild\, incandescent book that creates a literary universe of its own. Blending the personal and the philosophical\, the raw and the surreal\, the transgressive and the heartbreaking\, Harry Dodge revitalizes our world\, illuminating the magic just under the surface of daily life.

SUMMARY:Lisa Robertson
DESCRIPTION:reading from \nThe Baudelaire Fractal \npublished by Coach House Books \nA debut novel by acclaimed poet Lisa Robertson\, in which a poet realizes she has written the works of Baudelaire. One morning\, the poet Hazel Brown wakes up in a strange hotel room to find that she’s written the complete works of Charles Baudelaire. Surprising as this may be\, it’s no more surprising to Brown than the impossible journey she’s taken to become the writer that she is. Animated by the spirit of the poète maudit\, she shuttles between London\, Vancouver\, Paris\, and the French countryside\, moving fluidly between the early 1980s and the present\, from rented room to rented room\, all the while considering such Baudelairian obsessions as modernity\, poverty\, and the perfect jacket. .. Part memoir\, part magical realism\, part hilarious trash-talking take on contemporary art and the poet’s life\, The Baudelaire Fractal is the long-awaited debut novel by the inimitable Lisa Robertson. \nPoet and essayist Lisa Robertson has held residencies at the California College of the Arts\, Cambridge University; University of California\, Berkeley; UC San Diego; and American University of Paris. Her books include Cinema of the Present\, Debbie: An Epic (nominated for the Governor General’s Award in Canada)\, The Men\, The Weather\, R’s Boat (poetry) and Occasional Works and Seven Walks from the Office for Soft Architecture (essays). Lisa Robertson’s Magenta Soul Whip (Coach House) was named one of The New York Times 100 Notable Books of 2010\, and was longlisted for the 2011 Warwick Prize for Writing. She currently lives in France.

SUMMARY:Andrew Altschul
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Altschul discusses his new novel\, The Gringa. \nPraise for The Gringa \n“The Gringa bites off an impressive chunk of American—and Peruvian—history with dynamic prose. It’s an exciting addition to the literature of terrorism and revolution.” —KARAN MAHAJAN\, author of The Association of Small Bombs \n“What every even slightly conscious American writer is trying to figure out right now is how to write about the state of America without clambering atop a soapbox. This is the considerable achievement of Andrew Altschul’s The Gringa.” —DAVID SHIELDS\, author of Reality Hunger \n“An extraordinary novel…powerful and provocative\, stylish and smart\, culturally relevant and emotionally astute.” —MOLLY ANTOPOL\, author of The Unamericans \nAbout The Gringa \nLeonora Gelb came to Peru to make a difference. A passionate and idealistic Stanford grad\, she left a life of privilege to fight poverty and oppression\, but her beliefs are tested when she falls in with violent revolutionaries. While death squads and informants roam the streets and suspicion festers among the comrades\, Leonora plans a decisive act of protest—until her capture in a bloody government raid\, and a sham trial that sends her to prison for life. \nTen years later\, Andres—a failed novelist turned expat—is asked to write a magazine profile of “La Leo.” As his personal life unravels\, he struggles to understand Leonora\, to reconstruct her involvement with the militants\, and to chronicle Peru’s tragic history. At every turn he’s confronted by violence and suffering\, and by the consequences of his American privilege. Is the real Leonora an activist or a terrorist? Cold-eyed conspirator or naïve puppet? And who is he to decide? \nIn this powerful and timely new novel\, Andrew Altschul maps the blurred boundaries between fact and fiction\, author and text\, resistance and extremism. Part coming-of-age story and part political thriller\, The Gringa asks what one person can do in the face of the world’s injustice. \n

SUMMARY:Paul Lisicky / Later: My Life at the Edge of the World with Ryan Van Meter
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith welcomes Paul Lisicky back to the store for his new book\, Later: My Life at the Edge of the World. Please join us! \nWhen Paul Lisicky arrived in Provincetown in the early 1990s\, he was leaving behind a history of family trauma to live in a place outside of time\, known for its values of inclusion\, acceptance\, and art. In this idyllic haven\, Lisicky searches for love and connection and comes into his own as he finds a sense of belonging. At the same time\, the center of this community is consumed by the AIDS crisis\, and the very structure of town life is being rewired out of necessity: What might this utopia look like during a time of dystopia? \nLater dramatizes a spectacular yet ravaged place and a unique era when more fully becoming one’s self collided with the realization that ongoingness couldn’t be taken for granted\, and staying alive from moment to moment exacted absolute attention. Following the success of his acclaimed memoir\, The Narrow Door\, Lisicky fearlessly explores the body\, queerness\, love\, illness\, and belonging in this masterful\, ingenious new book. \n\nPaul Lisicky is the author of five books\, including The Narrow Door (a New York Times Editors’ Choice selection). He has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment of the Arts\, among others. He teaches in the MFA program at Rutgers University-Camden and lives in Brooklyn. \n  \nRyan Van Meter is the author of If You Knew Then What I Know Now\, as well as other essays published in magazines and selected for anthologies including The Best American Essays. He is an associate professor of creative writing at the University of San Francisco. Author photo by Bennett Honson. \n\nThis event is free and all ages. \nRSVP appreciated but not required. \nAs with all of our events\, seating may be limited; you can guarantee a seat by pre-purchasing the book here — when checking out\, just be sure to include a note that you’d like to attend the event.

SUMMARY:Chris Carlsson at City Lights Books
DESCRIPTION:Hidden San Francisco: A Guide to Lost Landscapes\, Unsung Heroes and Radical Histories \nfrom Pluto Press \nSan Francisco is an iconic and symbolic city. But only when you look beyond the picture-postcards of the Golden Gate Bridge and the quaint cable cars do you realise that the city’s most interesting stories are not the Summer of Love\, the Beats or even the latest gold rush in Silicon Valley. \nHidden San Francisco is a guidebook like no other. Structured around the four major themes of ecology\, labour\, transit and dissent\, Chris Carlsson peels back the layers of San Francisco’s history to reveal a storied past: behind old walls and gleaming glass facades lurk former industries\, secret music and poetry venues\, forgotten terrorist bombings\, and much more. Carlsson delves into the Bay Area’s long prehistory as well\, examining the region’s geography and the lives of its inhabitants before the 1849 Gold Rush changed everything\, setting in motion the clash between capital and labour that shaped the modern city. \nFrom the perspective of the students and secretaries\, longshoremen and waitresses\, San Francisco uncovers dozens of overlooked\, forgotten and buried histories that pulse through the streets and hills even today\, inviting the reader to see themselves in the middle of the ongoing\, everyday process of making history together. \nChris Carlsson\, co-director of the “history from below” project Shaping San Francisco\, is a writer\, publisher\, editor\, photographer\, public speaker\, and occasional professor. He was one of the founders in 1981 of the seminal and infamous underground San Francisco magazine Processed World. In 1992 Carlsson co-founded Critical Mass in San Francisco\, which both led to a local bicycling boom and helped to incubate transformative urban movements in hundreds of cities\, large and small\, worldwide. In 1995 work began on “Shaping San Francisco;” since then the project has morphed into an incomparable archive of San Francisco history at Foundsf.org\, award-winning bicycle and walking tours\, and more than a decade of Public Talks covering history\, politics\, ecology\, art\, and more (see shapingsf.org). Beginning in Spring 2020\, Carlsson hosts “City Front” Bay Cruises leaving from Pier 40.\nCarlsson has written three books\, the most recent being Hidden San Francisco: A Guide to Lost Landscapes\, Unsung Heroes\, and Radical Histories (Pluto Press: 2020). His 2004 novel is set in a future “post-economic” San Francisco (After the Deluge\, Full Enjoyments Books: 2004)\, and his groundbreaking look at class and work in Nowtopia (AK Press: 2008) which uniquely examined how hard and pleasantly we work when we’re not at our official jobs. He has also edited six books including three “Reclaiming San Francisco” collections with the venerable City Lights Books. He redesigned and co-authored an expanded Vanished Waters: A History of San Francisco’s Mission Bay after which he joined the board of the Mission Creek Conservancy; he is on the board of the San Francisco Community Land Trust\, and also serves as an advisor to the Shipyard Trust for the Arts at Hunter’s Point. He has given hundreds of public presentations based on Shaping San Francisco\, Critical Mass\, Nowtopia\, Vanished Waters\, and his “Reclaiming San Francisco” history anthologies since the late 1990s\, and has appeared dozens of times in radio\, television and on the internet. \nvisit: http://www.chriscarlsson.com/ \nPraise for Hidden San Francisco \nSan Francisco is long overdue for a history like this! Smart and accessible\, this is a book that everyone who has left a piece of their heart in the city needs to read. Its vibrant stories of the past are invaluable tools for charting a sustainable\, inclusive future’ —Barbara Berglund Sokolov\, historian at Presidio Trust \n‘The history of San Francisco I’ve been waiting for. It not only reorients our conceptions of the past\, it gives us walking tour itineraries so we can viscerally experience how we are participants in the region’s remaking.’ —Sean Burns\, author of ‘Archie Green: The Making of a Working Class Hero’ (University of Illinois Press\, 2011) \n‘Brings erudition\, curiosity and passionate progressivism to a remarkably wide range of subjects – from the city’s profaned natural glories\, to little-known episodes in its labor history\, to a Homeric list of people\, organizations and movements that have tried to throw a spoke in the grinding cogs of various incarnations of The Establishment.’ —Gary Kamiya \n‘Every city needs and deserves a Chris Carlsson. San Francisco is fortunate to have him and Hidden San Francisco not just because history from below is worth remembering\, but more importantly because it is full of possibilities we should never forget for the present and future of The City’ —Jon Christensen\, adjunct assistant professor in the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability\, the Department of History\, and the Center for Digital Humanities at the University of California\, Los Angeles. \n‘Few people know the streets of San Francisco as well as Chris Carlsson. Sadly\, gentrification is fast ripping the heart out of a city that generations of artists\, immigrants\, and working-class radicals have made into a unique and wondrous place. This book\, thus\, can be read as an obituary for his beloved home or\, perhaps\, a call to arms to renew the city again’ —Peter Cole\, Professor of History\, Western Illinois University \n‘Unlike your conventional guide books telling you where to shop\, eat\, and be entertained\, this is a dissenter’s guidebook that invites you into a holistic view of the City – bringing to life the stories of everyone from the hot politicians and their corporate paymasters to the streetcar conductors\, secretaries\, and construction workers who built the city and keep it running’ —Peter Booth Wiley\, publisher and author \n‘Scores of sparkling vignettes – from Mission Rock to the Haight\, Balmy Alley to Telegraph Hill – illuminate the city with the torch of social criticism and the sharp lens of a local sage. This is history from below at its best and a guidebook through the byways of collective memory’ —Richard Walker\, author of ‘Pictures of a Gone City: Tech and the Dark Side of Prosperity in the San Francisco Bay Area’ (PM Press\, 2018). \n‘An original\, vivid people’s history of the nation’s ‘Left Coast City’. Photos\, maps\, and self-guided tours of over one hundred of the most important and iconic historic places and spaces bring to life the authors’ beautifully crafted and well-informed San Francisco stories’ —Bill Issel \n‘With the city awash these days with more and more newcomers\, Hidden San Francisco is more vital than ever for keeping us all connected to the wild\, weird\, and radical histories that make this place so special. Dig into it\, it’s full of gold’ —Susan Stryker\, director of ‘Screaming Queens: The Riot at Compton’s Cafeteria’

SUMMARY:Dennis Phillips & George Albon
DESCRIPTION:Dennis Phillips and George Albon read from their latest works\, Mappa Mundi and Lyric Multiples. \nAbout Mappa Mundi \nLike the medieval maps from which MAPPA MUNDI takes its title\, Dennis Phillips’ 16th volume of poetry is a survey of territory as subjective as it is tangible. Riffing off the unstable certainty of medieval world maps\, MAPPA MUNDI builds on\, refracts\, distills\, distorts and reexamines Phillips’ past works and recurring themes\, relying on\, among other techniques\, repeated motifs\, narrative tensions and lyrical condensations. Its three parts charting the key elements of city\, desert and islands\, MAPPA MUNDI sets a predicate to be expanded in its sequel\, The Cartographer’s Lament. \nAbout Lyric Multiples \nLyric Multiples comprises four essays written over the last decade. The subject is poetry but the essays range over such topics as the evolution of the human call\, ascensional modes of thinking\, pop songs\, the built environment and its discontents\, the post-punk moment\, its fruitful aftermath\, and much else. Throughout this book\, Albon explores unencountered varieties of aesthetic experience and the contributions they make to an ideal of social interconnectivity.

SUMMARY:Omnidawn Spring Books 2020
DESCRIPTION:Our Omnidawn book parties are legendary! Join us to get a first look at their latest titles. Hear great readings and meet the poets: \nDesirée Alvarez RAFT OF FLAME\nwinner of Omnidawn’s Lake Merritt Book Prize\,\nselected by Hoa Nguyen \nhttps://www.omnidawn.com/product/raft-of-flame-desiree-alvarez/ \n“The poems in Raft of Flame address inheritance haunted by colonial violence and genocide. The ghosts in the archives speak inside the poems\, addressing heritage next to loss. ‘I don’t see my face\, owl says before soaring\, / as the future is born of slave and colonizer / on the ledge of the window.’ Here we have the mysteries of mixed culture through the art made by the artists of the ancient Americas and Spain. Here a speaker asks\, ‘I’m here to see where / I come from to stop the din of not knowing.’ The poems time-travel across regions\, cultures\, and centuries. Alvarez frets history\, speaks to historical image-making\, religion\, and art. The poems invent new perspectives\, speak in masks\, present cinematic panoplies\, are many-tongued\, always clear-eyed. Richly they assemble\, speak to story with mythic address as they sing and range. These poems are fire.”\n–Hoa Nguyen\, author of Violet Energy Ingots and Judge of Omnidawn’s Lake Merritt Prize\n~~~~~\nAnthony Cody BORDERLAND APOCRYPHA\nwinner of the Omnidawn 1st/2nd Book Prize\,\nselected by Mei-mei Berssenbrugge\nhttps://www.omnidawn.com/product/borderland-apocrypha/ \n“Read Cody’s investigations\, these beyond-poems\, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo of 1848\, Mexican Indian lands\, the untold occupations of America — as if you are hanging on that open-air killing tree. Notice the vortex of existence\, yours\, ours\, the trapezoids of punishments\, the dotted lines and splattered shapes of skin-text and the searing howls cut down the middle of the word bodies\, usurpation\, rape and theft bursting across the emptiness pages\, terminations and exiles pinned on the Race Grid. Open these scrolls and peer at half-humanity America cutting you down\, dangling — there is no wall after all\, just a mirror of executions\, “reach for the hand of a friend” “in a dream”\, you are the “savage captured\,” the “KickingSingingKickingSinging chant”\, you are the segmented ink-jitters on Cody’s pages\, you are the “atomic” Brown radiating yourself out of the 1850’s into this present of border mania. Read Cody ’s script\, like no other — a photo-zoom of tragic roots and revelations\, cartographies of “power and control\,” and the transcendence of innocent bodies\, somehow — American soul. Cody presents what has not been revealed\, what must be said. This one-of-a-kind-book settles all cases against all border-crossers. It is possible: a brave\, bold syntax\, an unseen intelligence of ourselves\, a new America. Bravo for these compassionate and brutal time-spaces\, this brisling land voice— an exemplar of a bursting literature. Everything starts over now.”\n—Juan Felipe Herrera\n~~~~~\nJennifer Hasegawa LA CHICA’S FIELD GUIDE TO BANZAI LIVING\nhttps://www.omnidawn.com/product/la-chicas-field-guide-to-banzai-living-jennifer-hasegawa/ \n“In the West\, the word “banzai” was mostly recognized as the WWII battle cry of kamikaze pilots\, but in truth\, the word literally means 10\,000 years and is associated with wishes for long life and celebration. It is a word that is both complex and compelling. The same could be said for the poems in Hasegawa’s La Chica’s Field Guide to Banzai Living. The collection takes us from Hawai‘i to the U.S. Continent to Babylon to outer space\, and Hasegawa’s use of story is both empowering and arresting. . . . What I admire most about Hasegawa’s poems is how she uses darkness to reveal what the world today desperately needs—the presence of light.”\n—Lisa Linn Kanae\, author of Sista Tongue\n~~~~~\nDavid Koehn SCATTERPLOT\nhttps://www.omnidawn.com/product/scatterplot-david-koehn/ \n“David Koehn’s Scatterplot is a book full of names and near-misses best described by its attention to narrative…when it is the narrative we associate with dreams! Or as Koehn himself says\, “I was stumbling around the aisles of a dream.” This line in particular has everything to do with what I love most about this book. Every poem throws itself headlong into litanies of images reminding us that\, even when we are lost or dying or anxious\, we are still very much alive.”\n—-Jericho Brown\, author of The Tradition\n~~~~~\nCraig Santos Perez HABITAT THRESHOLD\n(Rusty will present Craig’s work as he requested; he is very sorry not to be able to attend! HABITAT THRESHOLD will be available tonight for purchase)\nhttps://www.omnidawn.com/product/habitat-threshold-craig-santos-perez/ \n“Craig Santos Perez returns poetry to its ancient vocation: not only to sing of the dark times\, in a public voice\, but to sing in and against the darkness. Always exquisite in his attention to the placement of words for power\, beauty\, and insight\, with Habitat Threshold Perez raises poetry to earth magnitude: his pastorals\, odes\, sonnets\, haikus\, recyclings\, occasional verse\, lullabies\, and chants sing plainly and with great precision of the vast and intricate inequalities in and through which world-ecology enmeshes us. These are songs of protest\, to be recited in places of public debate and decision\, and to be learned by children\, but also love songs\, for family\, place\, plant and animal\, celebrating the many-hued lifeways of humans and their others. The poems find music in inconvenient truths\, with a sobering and detailed indictment of our Capitalocene footprint. Habitat Threshold asks us to change our lives: it is motivating\, necessary\, and inspiring work.” –Jonathan Skinner\, poet\, editor\, and founder of Ecopoetics.\n~~~~~\nLM Rivera AGAINST HEIDEGGER\n(LM Rivera has made a short film for the Moe’s/Omnidawn night attendees’ viewing pleasure and provocation. We are very grateful. AGAINST HEIDEGGER will be available tonight for purchase)\nhttps://www.omnidawn.com/product/against-heidegger-l-m-rivera/ \n“Offering unexpected sojourns in thinking\, Rivera’s whirlwind of well-weighted words is filled with surprising\, beautiful\, and haunting linguistic collisions and juxtapositions. Rivera’s postmodern poetry helps disclose what Heidegger meant when he proclaimed that we don’t speak language; language speaks us. I thus hear Rivera’s ‘against’ less as ‘opposed to’ and more as ‘leaning on’—leaning on or into ‘an abundant emptiness’—in the quest to go further\, ‘again and again\,’ into those questions we grow into and beyond\, as the answers we embody generate new questions\, opening pathways perhaps (‘with all ambiguity intact’) into a future we might still share.”\n–Iain Thomson\, author of Heidegger\, Art\, and Postmodernity

SUMMARY:Crossroads: Stories of Queer Spirit
DESCRIPTION:Welcome! Before joining the call\, please read the full event description below— \nCROSSROADS is a meeting place for all those who worship\, pray\, and make magic in the margins. It is a gathering of witches and heretics\, hermits and revolutionaries\, shadow-dwellers and truth-tellers. We are survivors\, edge-walkers\, and freaks claiming our connections with the Divine. Through storytelling we are offered a mirror in which to see our selves more clearly\, to understand our place in the world\, and to expand our perception of what is possible. \nThis is an event intended to share\, honor\, and receive stories of queer spiritualities. Stories can range from individual experiences in time to overarching themes in one’s life\, or anything in between. Topics may include ways that people engage in ritual; how LGBTQIA+ identities intersect with religion/spirituality (or not); times of questioning and struggle; ecstatic moments; solo or group religious experiences; healing and recovery journeys of all kinds; the spiritual dimensions of gender and sexuality; relationships with deity\, ancestors\, and/or plant/animal/spirit allies; the role of spirituality in political work; and anything else that feels like it belongs here. Participants are asked to give content notes when relevant and take care of themselves as needed. \nPROGRAM for our virtual gathering:\n– arrivals\n– opening\n– reading by Zoe Tuck\n– reading by Audra Puchalski\n– intermission (stretch\, hydrate\, etc)\n– reading by April Gray Robin\n– performance by Jax Padilla de la Rosa\, Zulay Holland\, and Joelle Bueno of DREAM CLUB\n– space for reflections &/or spontaneous offerings\n– weaving the web (making connections)\n– closing\n– depart \nThe original plan for this gathering was to take place in the flesh at The Majestic Saloon\, a queer bar in so-called Northampton\, Massachusetts. As before\, at the first gathering (https://www.facebook.com/events/606478350123542/) and still now in the virtual realm\, Crossroads is a space that centers LGBTQIA+ community. The offerings made are by and for LGBTQIA+ people\, with love and solidarity. I am excited to widen the circle here\, on the internet! \nYOU (yes\, you!) ARE INVITED TO BRING SOME WORDS OR A PIECE OF ARTWORK OR MOVEMENT OR ANY OTHER SHARE-ABLE EXPRESSION YOU FEEL INSPIRED TO OFFER IN THIS SPACE. This event will include curated storytelling\, as well as an open time for anyone to share in the spirit of the intentions outlined here. You can plan ahead\, or respond in the moment\, if you wish. You can share something you made/authored\, or something made/authored by someone else\, as long as you name that. \nMy vision for this night is to normalize talking about spirituality in queer spaces\, to stoke the fire in our hearts\, to support us in feeling less alone\, and to tend the need for soul-full community. In no way do I imagine or want for us to have the same spiritualities. Rather I imagine that what brings us here is a pull toward mystery\, a deep curiosity about the fabric of the universe\, and a reverence for the unknowable. \nEach one of us offers something beautifully unique to this conversation. Our experiences and practices of spirituality are as different as we are\, and simultaneously I believe we may find a sense of unity in our convictions as queer people desiring liberation… \nWe are not trying to fit in; we are trying to burn down that which seeks to confine us. We are not out to redeem the faith of our (grand)parents. We do not want mainstream religion to “accept” us into the fold of lukewarm neo-liberalism. We are critical of the ways state religion\, particularly Christianity\, has been taken up as an ideological and material tool of colonization\, genocide\, imperialism\, and capitalism. So\, too\, are we critical of the appropriation and commodification of spiritual practices for the purpose of wealth and fame. \nWe are anti-fascist\, anti-zionist\, and pro-abolition. We seek the downfall of all that exploits life for profit and endangers our communities\, and our spiritualities are an expression of that seeking. We are full of rage and grief and terror. We reject platitudes of hope and comfort in the face of very real systemic violence. \nWe connect with the Divine in meaningful ways that align with our values and embolden us to be our bravest\, kindest selves. We are outcasts and prophets\, here to consecrate our words\, to create sacred space\, to bear witness to and learn from each other\, to weave a web among us\, to make the Mighty Dead proud. \nLink to join the Zoom call (up to 100 people with video and 10k without) is here: https://zoom.us/j/554306591\n.\n.\n.\nIf you are interested in receiving information about future CROSSROADS events\, please sign up to be on the mailing list through this form: \nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfjjvn27TCEhuv_fmnmAc6DNLRAKrLN-8Ahm7k78m7hw71dcg/viewform
