SUMMARY:Alice Notley: The Descent of Alette Day 1
DESCRIPTION:Alice Notley reads The Descent of Alette \nMonday & Tuesday NOV 14–15\n7pm @ The Lab\, 2948 16th Street\, San Francisco\nadmission: $10 per night\, $5 low income\nfree for SFSU students and Poetry Center and/or Lab members \nco-sponsored by The Poetry Center and False Starts Reading Series at The Lab \nAcross two nights\, Monday and Tuesday NOV 14 and 15\, Alice Notley will read the entirety of her visionary book-length poem\, The Descent of Alette (Penguin Poets\, 1996). \nIn The Descent of Alette\, Alice Notley presents a feminist epic\, a bold journey into the deeper realms. Alette\, the narrator\, finds herself underground\, deep beneath the city\, where spirits and people ride endlessly on subways\, not allowed to live in the world above. Traveling deeper and deeper\, she is on a journey of continual transformation\, encountering a series of figures and undergoing fragmentations and metamorphoses as she seeks to confront the Tyrant and heal the world. Using a new measure\, with rhythmic units indicated by quotation marks\, Notley has created a “spoken” text\, a rich and mesmerizing work of imagination\, mystery\, and power. \nAlice Notley was born in Bisbee\, Arizona in 1945 and grew up in Needles\, California in the Mojave Desert. She was educated in the Needles public schools\, Barnard College\, and The Writers Workshop\, University of Iowa. She is the author of numerous books of poetry\, and of essays and talks on poetry\, and has edited and co-edited books by Ted Berrigan and Douglas Oliver. She edited the magazine CHICAGO in the 70s and co-edited with Oliver the magazines SCARLET and Gare du Nord in the 90s. She is the recipient of the Los Angeles Times Book Award\, the Griffin Prize\, the Shelley Memorial Award\, the Lenore Marshall Prize\, and the Poetry Foundation’s Ruth Lilly Prize. Her latest book is Certain Magical Acts\, from Penguin.

SUMMARY:Alan Bernheimer
DESCRIPTION:DIESEL\, A Bookstore in Oakland welcomes poet/translator Alan Bernheimer\, to the store to discuss and sign\, Lost Profiles on Tuesday\, November 15th at 7:00pm. \nPoet Alan Bernheimer provides a long overdue English translation of the French literary classic\, Philippe Soupault’s Lost Profiles. It is a retrospective of a crucial period in modernism written by Soupault\, the co-founder of the surrealist movement. Opening with a reminiscence of the international Dada movement in the late 1910s and its transformation into the beginnings of surrealism\, Lost Profiles ushers its readers into encounters with a variety of literary lions: We meet an elegant Marcel Proust\, renting five adjoining rooms at an expensive hotel to “contain” the silence needed to produce Remembrance of Things Past; an exhausted James Joyce putting himself through grueling translation sessions for Finnegans Wake; and an enigmatic Apollinaire in search of the ultimate “objet trouve.” Soupault sketches lively portraits of surrealist precursors like Pierre Reverdy and Blaise Cendrars\, a moving account of his tragic fellow surrealist Rene Crevel\, and the story of his unlikely friendship with right-wing anti-Vichy critic George Bernanos. The collection ends with essays on two modernist forerunners\, Charles Baudelaire and Henri Rousseau. With an afterword by Ron Padgett recounting his meeting with Soupault in the mid 70’s and a preface by Breton biographer Mark Polizzotti\, Lost Profiles confirms Soupault’s place in the vanguard of twentieth-century literature. \nAlan Bernheimer’s most recent poetry collection is The Spoonlight Institute. He has lived in the Bay Area since the late 1970s\, where he was active in Poets Theater and produced a radio program\, In the American Tree\, of new writing by poets. He has translated works by Robert Desnos and Valery Larbaud.

SUMMARY:Kelly Luce
DESCRIPTION:Praise for Kelly Luce: \n“Kelly Luce makes a persuasive case for why she should be one of your favorite new short-story writers.” – SF Chronicle on Three Scenarios in Which Hana Sasaki Grows a Tail \n\n“Luce manages to effortlessly capture both what it’s like to be a foreigner in Japan & to write in a believable way from the perspective of a native.” – The Japan Times \n\nAbout Pull Me Under: \nA searing debut novel from one of the most imaginative minds in fiction.\nKelly Luce’s “Pull Me Under” tells the story of Rio Silvestri\, who\, when she was twelve years old\, fatally stabbed a school bully. Rio\, born Chizuru Akitani\, is the Japanese American daughter of the revered violinist Hiro Akitani–a Living National Treasure in Japan and a man Rio hasn’t spoken to since she left her home country for the United States (and a new identity) after her violent crime. Her father’s death\, along with a mysterious package that arrives on her doorstep in Boulder\, Colorado\, spurs her to return to Japan for the first time in twenty years. There she is forced to confront her past in ways she never imagined\, pushing herself\, her relationships with her husband and daughter\, and her own sense of who she is to the brink.\nThe novel’s illuminating and palpably atmospheric descriptions of Japan and its culture\, as well its elegantly dynamic structure\, call to mind both Ruth Ozeki’s “A Tale for the Time Being “and David Guterson’s “Snow Falling on Cedars.” “Pull Me Under” is gripping\, psychologically complex fiction–at the heart of which is an affecting exploration of home\, self-acceptance\, and the limits of
