SUMMARY:Robert Reich: Fighting for the Common Good
DESCRIPTION:Robert Reich\, Chancellor’s Professor and Carmel P. Friesen Chair in Public Policy\, UC Berkeley; Former U.S. Secretary of Labor under President Clinton; Author\, The Common Good \nRobert Reich is one of the most beloved and influential voices in progressive politics today. In his new book\, The Common Good\, the former Secretary of Labor\, and professor of Public Policy at U.C. Berkeley contends that America has trapped itself in a vicious cycle of “whatever it takes” that has left us more divided than ever. As a result\, Americans are experiencing an erosion of trust in our media\, the largest income inequality in modern history\, and the resurgence of nationalist movements and racist rhetoric. \nYet despite this political bickering\, Reich argues this cycle can—and must—be reversed. He believes that Americans should focus on our shared ideals and values\, rather than what divides us. Join us as Robert Reich visits The Commonwealth Club to discuss The Common Good\, and how we can work together to create a stronger future for all. \nReich will discuss his belief that “the political class is beholden to special interests who demand unsustainable spending\, and that the unfunded liability crisis can be solved if we unshackle the engines of economic growth.” \nLocation: 110 The Embarcadero\, Taube Family Auditorium\, San Francisco\nTime: 5:30 p.m. check in\, 6:30 p.m. program\, 7:30 p.m. book signing \nNotes: Each ticket includes a copy of Robert Reich’s new book\, The Common Good. Reich photo by Delaney Inamine \nAll ticket sales are final and nonrefundable.

SUMMARY:Caroline Goodwin / The Paper Tree
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith hosts an evening of poetry and conversation with Caroline Goodwin (The Paper Tree) and Linda Norton (The Public Gardens). Please join us for this special Friday evening event! \n  \nThe poems in The Paper Tree are redolent in sound and rich in the details of place. Caroline Goodwin deeply knows these landscapes of which she writes\, goat hair and fireweed and cedar. She spins words with such velocity and cunning that the poems weave a spell. One arrives out the other side wild with rainwater and moss\, mussel shells and lupine. This is not a collection to read once\, but to savor and return to again and again. \n– Erin Coughlin Hollowell\, author of Pause\, Traveler \n  \nThe Paper Tree is a brave\, luminous\, and beautifully wrought book “where the need to name the shape / does not even exist / and nothing can be pinned / down or held as evidence.” It begins with stems and stones\, death and beads. Then Goodwin takes us deep into a teeming world characterized by perhaps\, where tiny gold frogs hop away and leave a cool sheen on the arms (“A kind of sleeve”) and medicine grows in the rushes. Ultimately\, the edges of that mythic landscape blur into the relentlessly technological\, political\, and embattled present. But when we finally enter the familiar world (of radiation\, mass-incarceration\, and friend requests)\, we do so with a broadened sense of these key particulars: mother\, father\, daughter\, sister\, ghost.” \n– Chiyuma Elliott\, author of California Winter League and Vigil \n  \n— \n  \nCaroline Goodwin was born and raised in Alaska and moved to California in 1999 to attend Stanford as a Wallace Stegner Fellow in poetry. She is also the author of Kodiak Herbal (MaCaHu Press\, 2008)\, Text Me\, Ishmael (Literary Pocket Book Series #2\, 2012)\, Trapline(JackLeg Press\, 2013) and Peregrine (Finishing Line Press\, 2015). She lives in the Bay Area and teaches at California College of the Arts and the Stanford Writer’s Studio. From 2014 – 2016 she served as the first Poet Laureate of San Mateo County\, CA. \n  \nLinda Norton is the author of a chapbook\, Hesitation Kit (EtherDome)\, and a book\, The Public Gardens: Poems and History (Pressed Wafer; introduction by Fanny Howe)\, a finalist for an LA Times Book Prize in 2012. Her second book\, Wite-Out\, is scheduled for publication this year. She is also a visual artist. Her collages have appeared on the covers of books by Claudia Rankine\, Julie Carr\, and others\, and were exhibited in Ireland in 2014 at the Dock Arts Centre\, courtesy of a grant from the U. S. Embassy in Dublin. In 2017 Linda became a citizen of Ireland/EU. You can find collages\, reviews\, interviews\, and excerpts from her books at thepublicgardens.blogspot.com.
