SUMMARY:Calligraphy Typewriters: The Selected Poems of Larry Eigner
DESCRIPTION:With Jennifer Bartlett\, Norma Cole\, Steve Dickison\, Richard Eigner\, Norman Fischer\, Jack Foley\, Kathleen Frumkin\, Lyn Hejinian\, Stephen Ratcliffe\, Kit Robinson \nJoin us for a celebration of Larry Eigner’s Selected Poems on what would be his 90th birthday. \nLarry Eigner (August 7\, 1927\, Swampscott\, MA – February 3\, 1996\, Berkeley\, CA) began writing poetry at age eight and was first published at age nine. Revered by poets and artists across a broad spectrum of generations and schools\, Eigner’s remarkably moving poetry was created through enormous effort: because of severe physical disabilities\, he produced his texts by typing with only one index finger and thumb on a 1940 Royal manual typewriter\, creating a body of work that is unparalleled in its originality. \n

SUMMARY:Augustus Rose
DESCRIPTION:Augustus Rose discusses his new novel\, The Readymade Thief with Robin Sloan. \n\nPraise for The Readymade Thief \n“In his highly addictive and multi-faceted first novel\, Augustus Rose pits an irrepressible and gritty young heroine against a sinister group of fanatics. The Readymade Thief is a kickass debut from start to finish.”—Colson Whitehead\, author of The Underground Railroad \n\n“The Readymade Thief is my favorite kind of book: an improbable one. The novel is a map of things—urban exploration\, secret societies\, the city of Philadelphia\, Marcel Duchamp\, very possibly the Home Alone movies—and if those things don’t seem to fit together\, well\, that’s the magic of the improbable book\, and the transmutation of obsessions\, by energy and intellect\, into something wholly new: a novel that’s unexpected\, uncategorizable\, unputdownable.”—Robin Sloan\, author of Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore \n\n“The Readymade Thief is a brilliant\, suspenseful\, and cinematic novel with an unforgettable heroine and a big story about art\, the nature of consciousness\, and all points in between. Be prepared to lose yourself in it.”—Edan Lepucki\, author of California and Woman No. 17 \n\nAbout The Readymade Thief \nLee Cuddy is seventeen years old and on the run\, alone on the streets of Philadelphia. \nAfter taking the fall for a rich friend\, Lee reluctantly accepts refuge in the Crystal Castle—a cooperative of homeless kids squatting in an austere\, derelict building. But homeless kids are disappearing from the streets in suspicious numbers\, and Lee quickly discovers that the secret society’s charitable façade is too good to be true. She finds an unexpected ally in Tomi\, a young artist and hacker whose knowledge of the Internet’s black market is rivaled only by his ability to break into and out of buildings. From abandoned aquariums to highly patrolled museums to the homes of vacationing Philadelphians\, Tomi and Lee can always chart a way to the next\, perfect hide-out. \nBut the harder Lee tries to escape into the unmapped corners of the city\, the closer she unwittingly gets to uncovering the disturbing agenda of the very men who pull the strings of the secret society she’s hoped to elude\, a group of fanatics obsessed with the secrets encoded in the work of early-twentieth-century artist Marcel Duchamp. What these men want is more twisted than anything Lee could’ve imagined\, and they believe Lee holds the key to it all. \nThe Readymade Thief  heralds the arrival of an astoundingly imaginative and propulsive new voice in fiction for fans of Marisha Pessl and Ernest Cline.
