SUMMARY:2017 Library Laureates  Gala: Library Love Stories
DESCRIPTION:Join us April 7th as we once again gather under the nautilus at the Main Library for the 2017 Library Laureates Benefit Gala! This year’s theme is Library Love Stories\, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love. \nDATE:  April 7\, 2017\nTIME:  7:00 PM Reception followed by Dinner\nLOCATION:  Main Library — 100 Larkin Street\, San Francisco \nAt Library Laureates\, the art of conversation is practiced in intimate salons within the heart of San Francisco’s Main Library\, as you and your guests enjoy drinks and dinner with one of the 30-plus authors scheduled to attend. An event like no other\, Library Laureates allows you unprecedented access to explore and discover the seeds of inspiration from a wide array of experiences\, complimented by exquisite food\, exceptional cocktails and extraordinary company. The evening’s woven tapestry of tales will stay with you long after our gala ends\, as you’ll be furnished with a copy of a book from your table’s author. We suspect that work will resonate on a more personal level now that you’ve spent the evening with a treasured wordsmith. \nGuests of honor include author\, publisher\, and Library champion Peter Booth Wiley\, poet and publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti (our first Honorary Library Laureate)\, along with more than 30 other luminaries of the literary world. \nCo-chaired by Nion McEvoy and Camilla Smith\, the 2017 Library Laureates Benefit Gala\, made possible by our sponsors and other supporters (listed below)\, benefits the partnership of Friends and the San Francisco Public Library that makes the exceptional difference for our community by offering a premier library system in San Francisco. \nLast year’s event sold out. Make sure to take advantage of the Sponsorship Opportunities/Table Sales available now. \nPlease contact Laurie Berk at laurie.berk@friendssfpl.org for more information. \n– See more at: http://www.friendssfpl.org/events/librarylaureates/#sthash.fBcn8xBG.dpuf

SUMMARY:Alex Dimitrov w/ Noah Warren
DESCRIPTION:As part of our National Poetry Month reading series Alex Dimitrov discusses his new collection\, Together and By Ourselves\, with Noah Warren. \n\nPraise for Alex Dimitorv \n\n“Dimitrov is that rarest of creatures\, a true poet and a truly contemporary poet. Thank god he’s here.” —Michael Cunningham \n\n“Alex Dimitrov’s passionate\, headlong poems seem to want to carve beneath the surface of gestures\, beneath the skin\, to the warm and dangerous blood beneath.” —Mark Doty \n\n“Dimitrov is a vital new energy in American poetry.” Los Angeles Review of Books \n\nAbout Together and By Ourselves \n\nTogether and by Ourselves\, Alex Dimitrov’s second book of poems\, takes on broad existential questions and the reality of our current moment: being seemingly connected to one another\, yet emotionally alone. Through a collage aesthetic and a multiplicity of voices\, these poems take us from coast to coast\, New York to LA\, and toward uneasy questions about intimacy\, love\, death\, and the human spirit. Dimitrov critiques America’s long-lasting obsessions with money\, celebrity\, and escapism whether in our personal\, professional\, or family lives. What defines a life? Is love ever enough? Who are we when together and who are we by ourselves? These questions echo throughout the poems\, which resist easy answers. The voice is both heartfelt and skeptical\, bruised yet playful\, and always deeply introspective.
