SUMMARY:Poets Ron Sauer + Dan De Vries
DESCRIPTION:Ron Sauer \nRon Sauer is a native New Yorker and a leading light of the North Beach art and poetry scene\, known for trenchant social satires and poignant love poems and for translations of Baudelaire\, Aloysius Betrand\, and Jacques Prevert. A troubadour of urban America\, Sauer is a musician\, collagist\, art collector\, teacher of film history and literature\, polymath critic\, and compulsive talker. The only formal education he admits to is a summa cum laude in Horizontal Angelology. He likes to spend his free time playing haberdasher to the happily impoverished. He is the co-founder\, with artist Rebecca Peters\, of Fly-By-Night Productions\, which stages art exhibitions\, and publishes Off the Cuff Press broadside editions of new poetry and prose. \nDan De Vries \nBorn in Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, Dan De Vries has lived in San Francisco since ’91. Before then\, Denver\, Laramie\, Vancouver\, Ann Arbor\, and periodically up and down the San Francisco peninsula. Grad school in Wyoming and the University of Michigan (Hopwood prize in major fiction in 1980). Poems\, Past & Presently\, published in 2014 by IFSF. Author of three novels\, Trees for Tomorrow\, Blasphemous Rumors\, and Piggery\, and a short story collection\, The Mountain King.\nThe Secret is sacred\, but it is also somewhat ridiculous. The practice of the mystery is furtive and even clandestine\, and its adepts do not speak about it. There are no respectable words to describe it\, but it is understood that all words refer to it\, or better\, that they inevitably allude to it\, and thus\, in dialogue with initiates\, when I have prattled about anything at all\, they have smiled enigmatically or taken offense . . . Borges\, from “The Sect of the Phoenix\,” tr. Anthony Kerrigan

SUMMARY:Mama Said
DESCRIPTION:Please join us here at Green Apple Books on Clement in welcoming the writers of Mama Said for an evening of laughs\, libations and light hors d’oeuvres. The fun begins on Monday\, May 2nd at 7:00pm at our Clement St. location (506 Clement). \nA gorgeous and heartfelt tribute to the joys and frustrations of motherhood\, Mama Said is a collection of personal narratives and artwork created by mothers\, for mothers. The beautifully illustrated text takes readers through the range of human emotions that come along with nurturing a tiny human. The stories invite mothers to join their hearts in the sacred sisterhood of creation and go beyond the personal choices of how one mothers\, and instead unearth the universal themes of love\, fear\, humanity and humor all mothers experience. \nThese brave women share their hopes\, dreams\, and doubts\, as well as their laughter\, tears\, and even a few bodily fluids\, on this journey through what it means to love another soul like you never thought possible. \nPraise for Mama Said \n“A brilliant tribute to what it means to be a mother. The overall tone is one of celebration\, but these mamas are not afraid to open their hearts and share the raw reality of pregnancy\, birth and humanity. A delightful and validating read for mothers everywhere.” \n  \nAs always\, this in store event is free and open to the public.
