SUMMARY:Mapping the Bay: with Kim Shuck and friends
DESCRIPTION:poetry and discussion exploring the pathways language takes through land\, water\, and air. \nPoetry is all around us. Hidden in the trauma and joys of a life lived in full witness of the events of the last few centuries on a penisula haunted by languages lost but reclaimed\, hidden\, yet in plain sight. \nLocal poets read from new and old works. What does it mean to stand as witness to lost histories? How does one heal great traumas and offer new pathways to loving each other in nature?

SUMMARY:Miranda Popkey: Topics of Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Miranda Popkey discusses her debut novel Topics of Conversation with Rachel Khong. \nPraise for Topics of Conversation \n“An intimate evisceration of our narrow imaginings of female sexuality\, a brilliantly structured character study\, and a book that repeatedly asks how women can fully trust their own desires when they’ve grown up steeped in the wrong stories. Its narrator is as skeptical of her own self-delusive fictions as she is of the stifling cliches and shallow fantasies about women’s interior lives perpetuated by the wider culture.”-–Karen Russell\, author of Orange World \n“A pleasingly unsentimental novel about attraction and repulsion and the fluid line between the two.  Popkey writes about these emotional eddies with such thrilling detachment you’ll wonder why you ever worried about love at all.”–Jenny Offill\, author of Dept. of Speculation \n“Penetrating\, brutal\, a brilliant new voice in contemporary fiction.”–Ben Marcus\, author of Notes from the Fog \nAbout Topics of Conversation \nMiranda Popkey’s first novel is about desire\, disgust\, motherhood\, loneliness\, art\, pain\, feminism\, anger\, envy\, guilt–written in language that sizzles with intelligence and eroticism. The novel is composed almost exclusively of conversations between women–the stories they tell each other\, and the stories they tell themselves\, about shame and love\, infidelity and self-sabotage–and careens through twenty years in the life of an unnamed narrator hungry for experience and bent on upending her life. Edgy\, wry\, shot through with rage and despair\, Topics of Conversation introduces an audacious and immensely gifted new novelist.
