SUMMARY:Zoé Samudzi
DESCRIPTION:Zoé Samudzi discussing the subject of her new book\n\nAs Black as Resistance: Finding the Conditions for Liberation \nby William C. Anderson and Zoé Samudzi with a foreword by Mariame Kaba \npublished by AK Press \n\nOver the course of United States history\, resistance against oppression and the gains made from various struggles for everyone’s equality have often been Black led. However\, liberal politics and the lack of strong leftist political power are two problems impeding the continued progress of Black America. Expanding on their original essay The Anarchism Of Blackness\, Samudzi and Anderson make the case for a new program of transformative politics for Black Americans\, one rooted in an anarchistic framework likened to the Black experience itself. This is not a compromising book that negotiates with intolerance. As Black as Resistance is a declaration for everyone who is ready to continue progressing towards liberation for all people. \nZoé Samudzi Zoé Samudzi is a writer and doctoral student in Medical Sociology at the University of California\, San Francisco. Her research focuses on the scientific logics that produce race and gender\, particularly focusing on transgender health and the ways Blackness is constructed. Her writing has appeared in The New Inquiry\, Warscapes\, Truthout\, ROAR Magazine\, Teen Vogue\, BGD\, Bitch Media\, and Verso\, among others. She is also a member of the 2017/18 Public Imagination cohort of the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA) Fellows Program\, and she is a member of the Black Aesthetic\, an Oakland-based collective and film series exploring the multitudes and diversities of Black artistic production & literary-visual culture. \nVisit http://www.zoesamudzi.com \nWilliam C. Anderson is a freelance writer. His work has been published by the Guardian\, MTV\, and Pitchfork\, among others. You can read many of his writings at Truthout or at the Praxis Center for Kalamazoo College\, where he’s a contributing editor covering race\, class\, and immigration. \nMariame Kaba is an organizer\, educator and the founder and director of Project NIA\, a grassroots organization with a vision to end youth incarceration.

SUMMARY:BOOKSMITH: an evening with Kim Addonizio\, Donna Masini\, and Brittany Perham
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith hosts an evening with poets Kim Addonizio\, Donna Masini\, and Brittany Perham all reading from new work. Please join us! \n  \nMortal Trash by Kim Addonizio \n  \nPassionate and irreverent\, Mortal Trash transports the readers into a world of wit\, lament\, and desire. In a section called “Over the Bright and Darkened Lands\,” canonical poems are torqued into new shapes. “Except Thou Ravish Me\,” reimagines John Donne’s famous “Batter my heart\, Three-person’d God” as told from the perspective of a victim of domestic violence. Like Pablo Neruda\, Addonizio hears “a swarm of objects that call without being answered”: hospital crash carts\, lawn gnomes\, Evian bottles\, wind-up Christmas creches\, edible panties\, cracked mirrors. Whether comic\, elegiac\, or ironic\, the poems in Mortal Trash remind us of the beauty and absurdity of our time on earth. \n  \n  \n  \nKim Addonizio has been called “one of our nation’s most provocative and edgy poets.” She is the author of six poetry collections\, two novels\, two story collections\, and two books on writing poetry.  Her latest are Mortal Trash: Poems (W. W. Norton) and  Bukowski in a Sundress: Confessions from a Writing Life (Penguin). She has received fellowships from the NEA and Guggenheim Foundations\, two Pushcart Prizes\, and other honors.  Her writing has appeared in New York Times\, Poetry\, The Sun\, and numerous literary journals and anthologies. She offers poetry workshops privately in Oakland and online \n. \n  \n\n  \n4:30 Movie by Donna Masini \n  \nIn poems that are by turns intimate and wild\, provocative and tender\, award-winning poet Donna Masini explores personal loss\, global violence\, and the consolations of art. She brings her wit\, grief\, fury\, and propulsive energy to bear on the preoccupations of our daily lives and our attempts to bargain with endings of every kind. Equal parts lament and praise\, 4:30 Movie is fueled by despair and humor\, governed by the ways in which movies enter our imaginations and frame our experiences. The movie theater becomes a presiding metaphor: part waiting room\, part childhood\, part underground depths where the self is a bit player\, riding the subway with “its engine of extras.” Masini’s exquisite word play shows the mind wrestling ferociously to forestall grief\, as if finding the right words might somehow allow us to extend our beautiful foreshortened run. \n  \n  \nDonna Masini is the author of two previous collections of poetry and one novel. She was awarded the Barnard Women’s Poetry Prize\, a Pushcart Prize\, and New York Foundation of the Arts grant and a grant from the National Endowment for the arts. She teaches at Hunter College and lives in New York City. \n  \n\n  \nDouble Portrait by Brittany Perham \n  \nEach poem in Brittany Perham’s prize-winning collection links two portraits: lover and beloved\, child and parent\, citizen and country\, spirit and body\, living and dead. Each speaker investigates what it means to be in relationship to another: what does it mean to see and be seen\, to reflect and be reflected\, to address and be addressed? With musicality\, grit\, and humor\, these poems challenge our conceptions of identity and language. By questioning the ways we think and speak\, the ways we rehash and reshape our experience\, they formalize obsession. Emotionally stirring and unapologetic\, Double Portrait contemplates the nature of devotion. \n  \n  \nBrittany Perham is the author of Double Portrait (W.W. Norton\, 2017)\, which was selected by Claudia Rankine for the Barnard Women Poets Prize; The Curiosities (Free Verse Editions\, 2012); and\, with Kim Addonizio\, the collaborative chapbook The Night Could Go in Either Direction (SHP\, 2016). She is a Jones Lecturer in the Creative Writing Program at Stanford University\, where she was a Wallace Stegner Fellow. She lives in San Francisco. \n  \n\n  \nRSVP appreciated but not required. \n  \nIf you cannot attend the event but would like to request a signed copy of any of the authors’ books\, order below and be sure to put your request in the special field. \n\n\n\n\nBooks:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMortal Trash: Poems (Paperback)\n\nBy Kim Addonizio\n$15.95\nISBN: 9780393354348\nAvailability: On Our Shelves Now\nPublished: W.

SUMMARY:Bawdy Storytelling 'JACKPOT!'
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT BAWDY STORYTELLING\nStorytelling is about building a connection. So is sex. \nFor the past 11 years\, Bawdy has featured true stories of sex\, kink\, body image\, gender and more to build community and bring people together. We do regular live storytelling events in two cities\, but that’s just one way to enjoy Bawdy. Our podcast and YouTube channel are great ways to get your Bawdy fix\, too. \nOur live events feature an eclectic mix of authors\, poets\, comedians and actors – along with real people just like you – sharing their adventures in ten minutes or less\, with no notes. This is honest-to-badness story time with true sexcapades and poignant\, transformational tales at each and every show. Storytellers submit their material online and are chosen for their panache and sense of (mis)adventure. Dixie curates submitted stories\, then works with experienced and first-time storytellers to create a one-of-a-kind evening for each and every Bawdy. Her coaching superpowers tease out surprisingly powerful stories of sex\, kink or gender. Then at showtime\, Dixie coaches the audience\, too – creating an emotionally supportive\, unintimidating\, and sex-positive atmosphere that’s unique\, engaging and fun. Add connecting games (like the ever-popular Bang-O) and you have a show that’ll be your new favorite social event EVER. \nCome see what LA Weekly calls “The Moth for pervs” and meet new\, open-minded people. Before you know it\, you’ll be wanting to share your stories\, too. \nABOUT DIXIE DE LA TOUR \nDixie has earned the title of America’s premier sexual folklorist.
