SUMMARY:Jim Shepard
DESCRIPTION:Alfred Knopf in conjunction with City Lights Booksellers and Zoetrope Magazine present \nJim Shepard \ncelebrating the release of his new collection of stories \nThe World to Come \npublished by Knopf \nIntroduced by Michael Ray\, Managing Editor of Zoetrope Magazine \n“Without a doubt the most ambitious story writer in America\,” according to The Daily Beast\, Jim Shepard now delivers a new collection that spans borders and centuries with unrivaled mastery. \nThese ten stories ring with voices belonging to–among others–English Arctic explorers in one of history’s most nightmarish expeditions\, a young contemporary American negotiating the shockingly underreported hazards of our crude-oil trains\, eighteenth-century French balloonists inventing manned flight\, and two mid-nineteenth-century housewives trying to forge a connection despite their isolation on the frontier of settlement. In each case the personal is the political as these characters face everything from the emotional pitfalls of everyday life to historic catastrophes on a global scale. In his fifth collection\, Shepard makes each of these wildly various worlds his own\, and never before has he delineated anything like them so powerfully. \nJim Shepard is the author of seven novels and four previous story collections. He lives in Williamstown\, Massachusetts\, with his wife\, three children\, and three beagles. He teaches at Williams College.

SUMMARY:Jon Raymond
DESCRIPTION:Jon Raymond discusses his new novel\, Freebird\, with Zoetrope’s Michael Ray. \n\nPrasie for Freebird \n\n“Freebird is such a timely book\, considering the current deep divisions between right and left. A new classic for the collapsing political landscape of America.”—Kim Gordon \n\n“Jon Raymond has an impressive ability to recognize the tales that we all tell ourselves\, and then quietly lead us back to reality—excruciatingly familiar and unusually rainy.”—Miranda July \n\n“Freebird is an intelligent and absorbing multi-generational story of an American family\, written withgreat sensitivity\, insight\, and verve.”—Patrick deWitt \n\nAbout Freebird \n\nThe Singers are an all-American family\, and they’re about to lose everything. Anne\, who works in the Los Angeles Office of Sustainability\, finds herself caught in a shady business deal for recycling wastewater. Her teenage son\, Aaron\, can’t decide between college and a road trip to Mexico\, but his plans are derailed by Singer patriarch Grandpa Sam\, whose untold experience of the Holocaust is revealed when he enlists Aaron’s help in retrieving some gold coins from a safe-deposit box in Oakland. Anne’s brother\, Ben\, a former Navy SEAL\, returns from Afghanistan disillusioned and struggling with PTSD\, and starts down a path toward a radical act of violence—one that changes the family’s course forever. In Freebird\, the narratives converge and expand as Oregon Book Award-winner Jon Raymond explores political\, environmental\, and ethical dilemmas particular to our contemporary moment and reveals how the fates of our families are irrevocably tied to the currents of history.

SUMMARY:Sarah Anderson
DESCRIPTION:Swimsuit season is coming up! Better get beach-body ready! Work on those abs! Lift those butts! \n…Um\, or how about never mind to all that and just be a lump. Big Mushy Happy Lump!  \n  \n  \n  \nSarah Andersen‘s hugely popular\, world-famous Sarah’s Scribbles comics are for those of us who boast bookstore-ready bodies and Netflix-ready hair\, who are always down for all-night reading-in-bed parties and extremely exclusive after-hour one-person music festivals. \n  \nIn addition to the most recent Sarah’s Scribbles fan favorites and dozens of all-new comics\, this volume contains illustrated personal essays on Sarah’s real-life experiences with anxiety\, career\, relationships and other adulthood challenges that will remind readers of Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half and Jenny Lawson’s Let’s Pretend This Never Happened. The same uniquely frank\, real\, yet humorous and uplifting tone that makes Sarah’s Scribbles so relatable blooms beautifully in this new longer form. \n

SUMMARY:Victor Lodato
DESCRIPTION:Eight-year-old Edgar Fini remembers nothing of the accident people still whisper about. He only knows that his father is gone\, his mother has a limp\, and his grandmother believes in ghosts. When Edgar meets a man with his own tragic story\, the boy begins a journey into a secret wilderness where nothing is clear—not even the line between the living and the dead. In order to save her son\, Lucy has no choice but to confront the demons of her past. \nProfound\, shocking\, and beautiful\, Edgar and Lucy is a thrilling adventure and the unlikeliest of love stories. \nVictor Lodato is a playwright and the author of the novel Mathilda Savitch\, winner of the PEN Center USA Award for fiction. His stories and essays have appeared in The New Yorker\, The New York Times\, Granta\, and Best American Short Stories.

SUMMARY:Margaret Randall
DESCRIPTION:Margaret Randall returns to The Poetry Center after a hiatus of fifty years — she appeared here\, reading her poetry\, in December 1966\, sharing the stage with Mexican poet Sergio Mondragon\, with whom she was at the time co-editing and producing the truly singular\, internationally renowned literary journal El Corno Emplumado\, out of Mexico City. This visit\, she will be presenting the most substantial anthology of modern and contemporary Cuban poetry ever to appear for English language readers\, and conversing with her audience. This event is free and open to the public. \nFeaturing the work of more than fifty poets writing across the last eight decades\, Only the Road / Solo el Camino (Duke University Press\, 2016) is the most complete bilingual anthology of Cuban poetry available to an English readership. It is distinguished by its stylistic breadth and the diversity of its contributors\, who come from throughout Cuba and its diaspora and include luminaries\, lesser-known voices\, and several Afro-Cuban and LGBTQ poets. Nearly half of the poets in the collection are women. Only the Road paints a full and dynamic picture of modern Cuban life and poetry\, highlighting their unique features and idiosyncrasies\, the changes across generations\, and the ebbs and flows between repression and freedom following the Revolution. Randall\, who translated each poem\, contributes extensive biographical notes for each poet and a historical introduction to twentieth-century Cuban poetry. \nMargaret Randall (New York\, 1936) is a poet\, essayist\, oral historian\, translator\, photographer and social activist. She lived in Latin America for 23 years (in Mexico\, Cuba\, and Nicaragua). From 1962 to 1969 she and Mexican poet Sergio Mondragón co-edited El Corno Emplumado/The Plumed Horn\, a bilingual literary quarterly that published some of the best new work of the sixties. When she came home in 1984\, the government ordered her deported because it found some of her writing to be “against the good order and happiness of the United States.” With the support of many writers and others\, she won her case in 1989.

SUMMARY:Lauren Grodstein
DESCRIPTION:Please join Green Apple Books on Clement street Thursday\, March 30th at 7:00pm as we welcome Author Lauren Grodstein\, reading from and discussing her book Our Short History. \nKaren Neulander\, a successful New York political consultant\, has always been fiercely protective of her son\, Jacob\, now six. She’s had to be: when Jacob’s father\, Dave\, found out Karen was pregnant and made it clear that fatherhood wasn’t in his plans\, Karen walked out of the relationship\, never telling Dave her intention was to raise their child alone. \nBut now Jake is asking to meet his dad\, and with good reason: Karen is dying. When she finally calls her ex\, she’s shocked to find Dave ecstatic about the son he never knew he had. First\, he can’t meet Jake fast enough\, and then\, he can’t seem to leave him alone. \nWith just a few more months to live\, Karen resists allowing Dave to insinuate himself into Jake’s life. As she tries to play out her last days in the “right” way\, Karen wrestles with the truth that the only thing she cannot bring herself to do for her son–let his father become a permanent part of his life–is the thing he needs from her the most. With heart-wrenching poignancy\, unexpected wit\, and mordant humor\, Lauren Grodstein has created an unforgettable story about parenthood\, sacrifice\, and life itself. \n“In Our Short History\, Lauren grodstein breaks your heart\, then miraculously pieces it back together so it’s bigger–and stronger–than before. This novel will leave you appreciating both the messiness of life and the immense depths of love.” —Celeste Ng\, author of Everything I Never Told You.

SUMMARY:Hannah Lillith Assadi
DESCRIPTION:Hannah Lillith Assadi in conversation with Shawn Wen about her debut novel\, Sonora. \nPraise for Sonora \n“Sonora is the most eerie and unusual coming of age story I’ve ever encountered—not a tale of innocence lost\, but of innocence never had. In a story steeped in sorcery and curses\, Assadi looks to the heavens\, wild-eyed and bewildered.”—Catherine Lacey\, author of Nobody is Ever Missing \n“With penetrating grace\, Hannah Lillith Assadi details the intoxicating precarity of being young and alive and desperate to change. Sonora is unforgettable and deeply felt\, the type of book that brings you close\, infiltrates you\, and leaves you with the sense that you’ve just lived an entire life.”—Alexandra Kleeman\, author of You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine \n“In Sonora\, Hannah Lillith Assadi documents\, with lyric ferocity\, the agony\, love\, and bafflement of belonging to a family. A scorching story of youth and the losses and sorrows of growing up estranged.”—Ben Marcus. author of The Flame Alphabet \nAbout Sonora \nAhlam\, the daughter of a Palestinian refugee and his Israeli wife\, grows up in the arid lands of desert suburbia outside of Phoenix. In a stark landscape where coyotes prowl and mysterious lights occasionally pass through the nighttime sky\, Ahlam’s imagination reigns. She battles chronic fever dreams and isolation. When she meets her tempestuous counterpart Laura\, the two fall into infatuated partnership\, experimenting with drugs and sex\, and watching helplessly as a series of mysterious deaths claim high school classmates. \nThe girls flee their pasts for New York City\, but as their emotional bond heightens\, the intensity of their lives becomes unbearable. In search of love\, ecstasy\, oblivion\, and belonging\, Ahlam and Laura’s drive to outrun the ghosts of home threatens to undo them altogether.

SUMMARY:Safiya Sinclair
DESCRIPTION:Praise for Cannibal: \n“Stunning debut collection”—Publishers Weekly starred review \n\n“Reading (and rereading) Sinclair is an urgently necessary\, absolutely unparalleled experience.”—Diego Báez\, Booklist starred review \n\n“Safiya Sinclair writes strange\, mythological\, gorgeously elaborate lyric poems\, with a diction that is both arcane and contemporary. . . . Her language is distinctive\, assured\, and a marvel to read.”—Cathy Park Hong\, from her introduction to Safiya Sinclair in the Boston Review\n \n“Cannibal is nothing less than an entrancing debut that reveals the teeming intellect and ravishing lucidity of a young poet in full possession of her literary powers. Here is a poetry that richly interrogates power and history while also eloquently and furtively asserting the possibilities of nature\, desire\, and the body as ceremonial and spiritual sources of resistance and affirmation.”—Major Jackson\, author of Roll Deep \n\n“With exquisite lyrical precision\, Safiya Sinclair is offering us a new muscular music that is as brutal as it is beautiful. Intelligent and elemental\, these poems mark the debut of a poet who is dangerously talented and desperately needed.”—Ada Limón\, author of Bright Dead Things \n\nAbout Cannibal: \nColliding with andconfrontingThe Tempestand postcolonial identity\, the poems in Safiya Sinclair’s Cannibal explore Jamaican childhood and history\, race relations in America\, womanhood\, otherness\, and exile. She evokes a home no longer accessible and a body at times uninhabitable\, often mirrored by a hybrid Eve/Caliban figure. Blooming with intense lyricism and fertile imagery\, these full-blooded poems are elegant\, mythic\, and intricately woven. Here the female body is a dark landscape; the female body is cannibal. Sinclair shocks and delights her readers with her willingness to disorient and provoke\, creating a multitextured collage of beautiful and explosive poems.

SUMMARY:Dean Radar
DESCRIPTION:celebrating the release of his new collection of poetry \nSelf-Portrait as Wikipedia Entry  \nfrom Copper Canyon Press \nWikipedia articles are never finalized. In Dean Rader’s energized and inventive new book\, the poet considers identity of self and society as a Wikipedia page—sculpted and transformed by the ever-present push and pull of politics\, culture\, and unseen forces. And\, in the case of Rader\, how identity can be affected by the likes of Paul Klee’s paintings and the characters from the children’s stories about Frog and Toad. Rader’s cagey voice is full of humor and inquiry\, warmly inviting readers to fully participate in the creation. \nBorn in Oklahoma\, Dean Rader has published in the fields of poetry\, American Indian studies\, and popular culture. He is a professor of English at the University of San Francisco\, and writes regularly on literature and politics for The San Francisco Chronicle.
