SUMMARY:Kuwentuhan (Talkstory)
DESCRIPTION:Barbara Jane Reyes and Oscar Bermeo read from their poetry\, continuing a collaboration between artists\, audiences and The Poetry Center\, as a way of enlarging this circle beyond ethnic boundaries\, in contested urban spaces. \nKuwentuhan (Talkstory) takes the Tagalog term\, a phoneticized form adapted through the colonial Spanish\, as its title\, proposition\, and starting point. Kuwentuhan (“necessary step toward big talk\,” by one definition) is orally based\, informal in nature\, usually spontaneous\, and is always an opportunity for people to converge and share. It occurs in all kinds of social spaces as talkstory circle. \nThe project’s aim is to open up precisely the kind of human space that barely exists in our technological and “globalized” culture\, by allowing a select group of American poets out of widely disparate and polyglot cultural and geographic backgrounds to actually talk face to face\, sharing stories\, poetry and conversations among themselves and with audiences. They are interested in work that originates from a communal basis\, and in shaping a project that encourages collective creation\, by putting into action mechanisms for creating “live” person-to-person exchange between and among artists and audiences. \nKuwentuhan (Talkstory) is a project of The Poetry Center and Reyes\, supported by the Creative Work Fund.

SUMMARY:Max Ritvo Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Read about Max’s life at NPR. \nPraise for Four Reincarnations: \n“Marked by intellectual bravado and verbal extravagance. . . .One of the most original and ambitious first books in my experience.” —Louise Glück \n\n“A Max Ritvo poem is:\nA map drawn by hand to show where the body is buried.\nA card trick with words. . . ‘Don’t show me how you did it.’\nLike reading the last sentence in a book first.\nDragging words across the page like a bow across a string.\nA piece of candy covered with ants.\nLike silverfish ate the words off a page . . . and left you a riddle.\nAll of the above.”\n—Tom Waits \n\nAbout Four Reincarnations: \nReverent and profane\, entertaining and bruising\, Four Reincarnations is a debut collection of poems that introduces an exciting new voice in American letters.\nWhen Max Ritvo was diagnosed with cancer at age sixteen\, he became the chief war correspondent for his body. The poems of Four Reincarnations are dispatches from chemotherapy beds and hospitals and the loneliest spaces in the home. They are relentlessly embodied\, communicating pain\, violence\, and loss. And yet they are also erotically\, electrically attuned to possibility and desire\, to everything living / that won t come with me / into this sunny afternoon. Ritvo explores the prospect of death with singular sensitivity\, but he is also a poet of life and of lovea cool-eyed assessor of mortality and a fervent champion for his body and its pleasures.\nRitvo writes to his wife\, ex-lovers\, therapists\, fathers\, and one mother. He finds something to love and something to lose in everything: Listerine PocketPak breath strips\, Indian mythology\, wool hats. But in these poemsfrom the humans that animate him to the inanimate hospital machines that remind him of deathit’s Ritvo’s vulnerable\, aching pitch of intimacy that establishes him as one

SUMMARY:Mariela Griffor + Lynne Knight
DESCRIPTION:Mariela Griffor’s new book is a translation of Pablo Neruda’s Canto General: Song of the Americas\, edited by Jeffrey Levine\, perhaps Neruda’s most daring and ambitious project\, depicting history as a vast\, continuous struggle against oppression. Griffor was born in Concepción in southern Chile. She left Chile for an involuntary exile in Sweden and now lives in the U.S.\, in Michigan and Washington D.C.\, where she is Honorary Consul of Chile. She is the founder of Marick Press and is the author of three books of poems\,  Exiliana\, House\, and The Psychiatrist. \nLynne Knight’s new book of poems is The Persistence of Longing. Cecilia Woloch says\, “I’ve never read poems that seem to me more accurate about love and desire and sexual relationships and their almost-inevitable shattering—darkly gorgeous and expertly-crafted poems\, with a white-hot lyric intensity and a narrative pull that becomes cumulative\, an erotic veering toward doom.” She is the author of four full-length poetry collections and four chapbooks\, and translator of I Know (Je sais)\, by Ito Naga\, from the French. Among her honors are publication in Best American Poetry\, the Prix de l’Alliance Française 2006\, the 2009 Rattle Poetry Prize\, a Poetry Society of America Lucille Medwick Memorial Award\, and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

SUMMARY:Randa Jarrar
DESCRIPTION:Praise for Randa Jarrar: \n“Jarrar does what every brave storyteller should do-she makes sense of what other writers leave outside the bounds. She connects us with that which others have left unsaid.” – Colum McCann\, author of Transatlantic \n\n“Him\, Me\, Muhammad Ali is a searing collection of short stories about loving\, lusting\, losing\, and surviving. Randa Jarrar is one of the finest writers of her generation. Her voice is assured\, fiercely independent\, laced with humor and irony–and always\, always\, honest.” – Laila Lalami\, author of The Moor’s Account \n\n“Randa Jarrar’s prose is bold and luscious and makes the darkly comic seem light.  The voices in Him\, Me\, Muhammed Ali are powerful individually\, and overwhelming as a chorus. This wonderful work isn’t just a collection: it’s a world.” – Mat Johnson\, author of Loving Day \n\n“Wow! These vibrant\, funny\, earthy\, and above all yearning (for love\, for family\, for home) stories are a revelation. Jarrar combines the invention of Calvino\, the sprung style of Paley\, the poetic imagery of Babel. But that mash-up isn’t mere stylistic exuberance; it’s a restless\, relentless and deeply affecting effort to forge identity out of fragments\, to make a whole out of halves. These are the stories we need right now.” – Peter Ho Davies\, author of The Welsh Girl \n\n“Fearless\, funny\, and sad\, soaring and earthly\, fable-like and visceral\, full of families\, lovers\, friends\, strangers and lonely children. These stories laugh with and think through and rise against\, which is just to say they brilliantly demonstrate Jarrar’s huge talent\, compassion and range. “Him\, Me\, Muhammad Ali astonishes from start to finish.” – Sam Lipsyte\, author of The Ask \n\nAbout Him\, Me\, Muhammad Ali: \nAward-winning novelist Randa Jarrar’s new story collection moves seamlessly between realism and fable\, history and the present\, capturing the lives of Muslim women and men across myriad geographies and circumstances. With acerbic wit\, deep tenderness\, and boundless imagination\, Jarrar brings to life a memorable cast of characters\, many of them “accidental transients”a term for migratory birds who have gone astrayseeking their circuitous routes back home. Fierce and feeling\, Him\, Me\, Muhammad Ali is a testament to survival in the face of love\, loss\, and displacement.\nRanda Jarrar is the author of a highly successful novel\, A Map of Home\, which received an Arab-American Book Award and was named one of the best novels of 2008 by the Barnes & Noble Review. She grew up in Kuwait and Egypt\, and moved to the United States after the first Gulf War. Her work has appeared in the New York Times Magazine\, the Utne Reader\, Salon.com\, Guernica\, the Rumpus\, the Oxford American\, Ploughshares\, and more. She blogs for Salon\, and lives in California.

SUMMARY:Book Passage at 40!
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a day of fun and celebration: \n10:00 am\nWe’re starting off with the kids\, inviting them to come up and read stories they have written or whatever they feel like reading. Among the many who will be there reading\, we expect the kids from INK to be there with their first book Dragon Mist and its new sequel. Come hear some of our local students read their work! We are showcasing the writers of tomorrow as part of our 40th Anniversary celebration. This is entirely selfish on our part. We’re hope that they will get the feel for how much fun it is to read in front of a bookstore audience. If so\, they might just be coming back for years to come with books they have written. Time will be limited. So please contact Joy (joy@bookpassage. com) to let us know you will be a reader! (But we warn you! Famous authors have told us it could be habit-forming.) \n3:00 pm\nIn the afternoon there will be a reception in the café for Tom Killion’s new collection of graphic arts that will be displayed both in the cafe and the gallery. Tom Killion is a native of Marin County who has been producing acclaimed Japanese-style woodcut prints of the California landscape for over forty years. Killion has created over 400 relief prints\, and has produced five handmade art books depicting landscapes from California to Europe and Africa. Killion’s most recent book\, California’s Wild Edge\, is a fresh collaboration with Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gary Snyder. \n4:00 pm\nIsabel Allende\, Anne Lamott and Don George will speak about the history of the bookstore and what it means to them and the community. Following that there will be a slide presentation about the store (shamelessly heaped in nostalgia!). And following that\, we will break out the bubbly and celebrate \nAnd here’s where you can help!\nWe are asking our friends to bring a “not too used” book to donate to our Hospice Used Book department. We will be donating a portion of the day’s new book sales to Hospice to help support their wonderful programs.

He chronicles the heartbreak of losing countless friends to AIDS\, which very nearly killed him\, too; his co-founding of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation during the terrifying early years of the epidemic; his conception of the AIDS Memorial Quilt\, the largest community art project in history; the bewitching story of 1970s San Francisco and the magnetic spell it cast for thousands of young gay people and other misfits; and the harrowing\, sexy\, and sometimes hilarious stories of Cleve’s passionate relationships with friends and lovers during an era defined by both unprecedented freedom and possibility\, and prejudice and violence alike. \nWhen We Rise is not only the story of a hero to the LQBTQ community\, but the vibrantly voice memoir of a full and transformative American life–an activist whose work continues today. \nPreorder on Amazon today! \nhttps://www.amazon.com/When-We-Rise-Life-Movement/dp/0316315435

SUMMARY:Bill Ayers
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we welcome Bill Ayers\, here on a national tour to celebrate the release of his latest book\, Demand the Impossible!: A Radical Manifesto. \n  \nIn an era defined by mass incarceration\, endless war\, economic crisis\, catastrophic environmental destruction\, and a political system offering more of the same\, radical social transformation has never been more urgent. We must imagine a world beyond what this rotten system would have us believe is possible. \nIn critiquing the world around us\, Ayers uncovers cracks in the system\, raising our sights for radical change\, and envisioning strategies for building a movement to create a more humane\, balanced\, and peaceful world. \n  \n“For Bill Ayers\, it is the freedom of our collective imagination that links the contemporary world—ensconced as it is in pervasive militarism\, racist violence\, and environmental devastation—to the flourishing of our planet. This is a manifesto that should be read by everyone who wants to believe that “another world is possible.” — Angela Y. Davis\, author of Abolition Democracy and Freedom is a Constant Struggle \n“With huge numbers of us recognizing the need for transformative change\, this ambitious and exuberant book perfectly matches its historical moment. Ayers fearlessly confronts the intersecting crises of our age—endless war\, surging inequality\, unchecked white supremacy and perilous planetary warming—while mapping emancipatory new possibilities. From the first page\, his courage is contagious.” — Naomi Klein\, author of This Changes Everything and The Shock Doctrine \n“Demand the Impossible is more than a book\, more than a manifesto. It is a torch. Bill Ayers’ vision for a humane future is incendiary—fire that incinerates old logics and illuminates new paths. If we do not end the violence of militarism\, materialism\, caging\, dispossession\, debt\, want\, ignorance\, and global warming\, our very survival is impossible. Read aloud.” — Robin D. G. Kelley\, author of Freedom Dreams

SUMMARY:Michael McClure + Garrett Caples
DESCRIPTION:A landmark work of bio-romanticism\, Mephistos and Other Poems is the first completely new collection in five years from legendary Beat and SF Renaissance poet  Michael McClure. The title sequence\, “Mephistos\,” stems from McClure’s ongoing “grafting” experiment\, growing new poems from fragments of his older works. “Some Fringes” is a series of haiku-like nature poems\, while the 17-part “Rose Breaths” derives from the poet’s practice of meditation. The freestanding poems grouped under the title “Being” pay homage to many of McClure’s collaborators and fellow travelers\, such as Bruce Conner\, Terry Riley\, and Dave Haselwood. The book climaxes with “Song Heavy\,” recounting McClure’s recent encounter with a beached whale in Rockport\, MA\, and recalling his classic “For the Death of 100 Whales\,” which he read at the Six Gallery in 1955—the inaugural moment of American eco-poetics. \n Garrett Caples is the author of Power Ballads  (forthcoming from Wave Books\, 2016)\, Retrievals (2014)\, The Garrett Caples Reader (1999)\, Complications (2007)\, and Quintessence of the Minor (2010). He is the co-editor of The Collected Poems of Philip Lamantia (2013). He is the poetry editor at City Lights Books and curates the Spotlight Poetry Series there. He is also a contributing writer to the San Francisco Bay Guardian. He has written articles and blogged for the Poetry Foundation and occasionally blogs for blogcitylights.com. He has a Ph.D. in English from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and lives in San Francisco.

SUMMARY:Michael Goorjian
DESCRIPTION:“Something in me knows of a life I was meant to live but for whatever reason\, I have not . . . ” \nIn What Lies Beyond the Stars\, these words ring painfully true for Adam Sheppard\, a San Francisco programmer who has spent the vast majority of his 30-something years lost in the dim glow of a computer screen. On the verge of a psychotic break\, Adam begins to have a recurring dream of his early childhood and the hauntingly rustic town of Mendocino California where he grew up. Convinced he has left something behind there\, something vital to his present sanity\, Adam walks away from his current life to figure out what that is. \nOne night on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean\, lost in thoughts of suicide\, Adam has a chance encounter with a mysterious woman. Later he realizes that she is Beatrice\, a long forgotten childhood friend whose fiery spirit and red hair had filled his young heart with immeasurable wonder. The coincidence of their reunion only deepens as Adam discovers that Beatrice has returned to Mendocino also due to a recurring dream\, eerily similar to his own. \nAre they lost soul mates drawn together through time and space? As Adam begins to hope that his life could be more than a bleak virtual wasteland\, he finds himself a pawn in a game that pits dark forces against those few quixotic souls who still search for meaning\, beauty\, and magic in the world. \nMichael Goorjian is an Emmy Award–winning actor\, filmmaker\, and writer. His acting credits include Party of Five\, Leaving Las Vegas\, and SLC Punk. As a filmmaker\, he achieved widespread recognition for his first major independent film\, Illusion\, starring Kirk Douglas. Other directing credits include the Louise Hay documentary\, You Can Heal Your Life\, Wayne Dyer’s l’m The Shift\, and the Hay House film anthology\, Tales of Everyday Magic. Michael lives in Oakland\, California.
