SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Michaeleen Doucleff
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Monday\, March 15 at 6pm PT when Dr. Michaeleen Doucleff joins us to discuss her book\, Hunt\, Gather\, Parent: What Ancient Cultures Can teach Us About the Lost Art of Raising Happy\, Helpful Little Humans\, on Zoom! \nZoom Login Info\nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/88078828927 \nPraise for Hunt\, Gather\, Parent\n“Parents: You don’t have to go to kid birthday parties anymore! Or awkwardly straddle playground equipment! Or create chore charts! In her funny\, honest\, and practical book\, Michaeleen Doucleff collects ancient wisdom that can restore sanity to parenting.”\n—Amanda Ripley\, New York Times bestselling author of The Smartest Kids in the World and High Conflict \n“THIS IS THE PARENTING BOOK I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! Frustrated by the challenges of being a new parent\, investigative journalist Michaeleen Doucleff straps her kid on her back and travels thousands of miles to learn why and how indigenous cultures seem to raise kids to be far more skilled\, confident\, and content than the kids back at home. Armed with respect and curiosity\, Doucleff realizes that incessant communication with her child while attempting to control every small thing leads her child to feel anxiety and act out. And that giving a child autonomy while building a loving connection yields highly skilled kids who cooperate\, regulate their emotions\, and pitch in without waiting to be asked. Smart\, humbling\, and revealing\, Hunt\, Gather\, Parent should force a re-set of modern American parenting and return a healthier and happier childhood to both parents and children.”\n—Julie Lythcott-Haims\, New York Times bestselling author of How to Raise an Adult and Real American \n“Michaeleen Doucleff’s Hunt\, Gather\, Parent breathes a gust of fresh air onto the parenting bookshelf. She gives us a whole new way of looking at raising kids\, and it is so beautifully intuitive even as it runs counter to everything we have been taught as Western parents. I loved all the families she introduces us to\, the landscapes she brings to life\, and her honesty about her relationships with her own daughter. It really does take a village to raise a child\, and it is pure joy to follow Michaeleen and Rosy from village to village seeing how it can be done. I can’t wait to talk to other parents about this book.”\n—Angela C. Santomero\, creator\, head writer\, and executive producer of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood and Blue’s Clues\, and author of Radical Kindness and Preschool Clues \nAbout Hunt\, Gather\, Parent\nThe oldest cultures in the world have mastered the art of raising happy\, well-adjusted children. What can we learn from them? \nWhen Dr. Michaeleen Doucleff becomes a mother\, she examines the studies behind modern parenting guidance and finds the evidence frustratingly limited and the conclusions often ineffective. Curious to learn about more effective parenting approaches\, she visits a Maya village in the Yucatán Peninsula. There she encounters moms and dads who parent in a totally different way than we do—and raise extraordinarily kind\, generous\, and helpful children without yelling\, nagging\, or issuing timeouts. What else\, Doucleff wonders\, are Western parents missing out on? \nIn Hunt\, Gather\, Parent\, Doucleff sets out with her three-year-old daughter in tow to learn and practice parenting strategies from families in three of the world’s most venerable communities: Maya families in Mexico\, Inuit families above the Arctic Circle\, and Hadzabe families in Tanzania. She sees that these cultures don’t have the same problems with children that Western parents do. Most strikingly\, parents build a relationship with young children that is vastly different from the one many Western parents develop—it’s built on cooperation instead of control\, trust instead of fear\, and personalized needs instead of standardized development milestones. \nMaya parents are masters at raising cooperative children. Without resorting to bribes\, threats\, or chore charts\, Maya parents rear loyal helpers by including kids in household tasks from the time they can walk. Inuit parents have developed a remarkably effective approach for teaching children emotional intelligence. When kids cry\, hit\, or act out\, Inuit parents respond with a calm\, gentle demeanor that teaches children how to settle themselves down and think before acting. Hadzabe parents are world experts on raising confident\, self-driven kids with a simple tool that protects children from stress and anxiety\, so common now among American kids.\nNot only does Doucleff live with families and observe their techniques firsthand\, she also applies them with her own daughter\, with striking results. She learns to discipline without yelling. She talks to psychologists\, neuroscientists\, anthropologists\, and sociologists and explains how these strategies can impact children’s mental health and development. Filled with practical takeaways that parents can implement immediately\, Hunt\, Gather\, Parent helps us rethink the ways we relate to our children\, and reveals a universal parenting paradigm adapted for American families. \nAbout the Author\nMichaeleen Doucleff is a correspondent for NPR’s Science Desk. In 2015\, she was part of the team that earned a George Foster Peabody award for its coverage of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Prior to joining NPR\, Doucleff was an editor at the journal Cell\, where she wrote about the science behind pop culture. She has a doctorate in chemistry from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and a master’s degree in viticulture and enology from the University of California\, Davis. She lives with her husband\, daughter\, and German shepherd\, Mango\, in San Francisco.

SUMMARY:Tripwire Cross-Cultural Poetics Series: Momtaza Mehri and Zoé Samudzi\, reading and in conversation
DESCRIPTION:Remote access event\, free and open to the public \nREGISTER TO ATTEND\n—or—\nWatch this program at YouTube \nWith emcee\, alex cruse \nThis remote-access event starts promptly at 12:00 pm Pacific Time\, and is free and open to the public. Real-Time Captioning link will be provided at the event. Media Captioning provided after the event\, at our YouTube channel and at Poetry Center Digital Archive. For other reasonable accommodations please contact poetry@sfsu.edu \nPlease note early start-time\, to accommodate our guest and audience in the UK\, and elsewhere. \nFor our third program in the Tripwire Cross-Cultural Poetics Series\, we are delighted to welcome two of the more outstanding young Black writers and intellectuals at work in the US and UK. Momtaza Mehri\, in London\, and Zoé Samudzi\, here in the Bay Area\, will each read from their work\, engage in conversation with one another and with emcee alex cruse\, and respond to questions from the audience. We welcome this rare opportunity to bring these two Afro-diasporan writers and thinkers together across continents. \n\n“…A poet is drenched in a singularity\, sodden with its viscous specificity. A poem speaks for itself exactly when it declares it speaks for others. The Black poet is an isotope of both hope & despair. The Black poet is both a reluctant & enthusiastic interlocutor of what is known as the Black condition\, which conditions & structures the World that invented it. The Black poem asks you where it hurts & demands no particular answer. The Black poet knows this is a question one can spend a life trying to answer….”\n—Momtaza Mehri\, “Harlem Is Hijaz Is Havana Is Harar\, Or: The Whole Point of the Black Arts Movement Is That They Were Moving”\n“We [Afro-]diasporans joke often about the genre of poetry and prose born out of a longing for a motherland animated only by hungry verses. There’s a cowardice to this: nostalgic memory\, a narrativized nostalgia for memories and experiences and beauty that never belonged to you\, is easy. But situating oneself in the wake and afterlife of those traumas and beautiful/beautified struggles is far harder still.”\n—Zoé Samudzi on Momtaza Mehri\, The Poetry Project Newsletter\, Summer 2020\n\nMomtaza Mehri is a poet and independent researcher. Her work has been widely anthologised and has appeared in Granta\, Artforum\, The Guardian\, BOMB\, and Real Life Mag. She is the former Young People’s Laureate for London. Her latest pamphlet\, Doing the Most with the Least\, was published in 2019 by Goldsmiths Press. More here. \n\n“As Black as Resistance [by Zoé Samudzi and William C. Anderson] is an urgently needed book…a call to action through an embrace of the anarchy of blackness as a recognition and a refusal of the deathly logics of liberalism and consumption. In the face of the ever expanding carceral state\, levels of inequality\, environmental degradation\, and resurgent fascism\, this book offers a map to imagining the liberated futures that we can and mus and do make.”\n—Christina Sharpe\, author of In the Wake: On Blackness and Being\n\nZoé Samudzi is a writer\, photographer\, and a doctoral candidate in Medical Sociology at the University of California\, San Francisco. Her writing has appeared in The New Inquiry\, Warscapes\, Truthout\, ROAR Magazine\, Teen Vogue\, BGD\, Bitch Media\, Open Space\, and Verso\, among others. With William C. Anderson\, Samudzi is coauthor of As Black as Resistance: Finding the Conditions for Liberation (foreword by Mariame Kaba\, AK Press\, 2018). More here. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeatured: \nMomtaza Mehri\, Granta Podcast\, Ep. 94\, October 7\, 2020 \nMomtaza Mehri\, “Poets Should Ride the Bus: On Diane di Prima (1934–2020)\,” at Verso Books\, November 3\, 2020 \nMomtaza Mehri at Open Space\, 2018 \n“Blackness As a State of Matter: A Conversation with Zoé Samudzi\,” by Will Furtado\, at Contemporary And\, C&’s Top Articles of 2019 \nZoé Samudzi at Open Space\, 2018–2019 \nVideo: \nView earlier events in the Tripwire Cross-Cultural Poetics Series \n\n\n\n\nEvent contact:\n\nThe Poetry Center\n\n\n\nEvent email:\n\npoetry@sfsu.edu\n\n\n\nEvent sponsor:\n\nThe Poetry Center\, Tripwire Cross-Cultural Poetics Series\n\n\n\nRegister to Attend:\n\n\nhttps://sfsu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_3fVkVa5mS2iU5P5jmed6TQ

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Sam Cohen and Andrea Lawlor
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, March 10th at 6pm PT when Sam Cohen discusses her story collection\, Sarahland\, with Andrea Lawlor on Zoom!\n\nZoom Login Info\nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85188314830\n\nPraise for Sarahland\n“A bold collection that explores how we might break free from or reimagine ourselves and our places in the universe.”—Kirkus\, starred review\n\n“Reading SARAHLAND is pure pleasure – what a voice! What a constant flow of funny and vulnerable and distinct awarenesses! Sam Cohen’s writing is joyously itself and places its own keen\, insightful gaze on the ways we relate to ourselves and to others.”—Aimee Bender\, author of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake\n“I’m deeply struck by the emotional wisdom\, the cultural smarts\, the literary vulnerability and serious skills happening in SARAHLAND. Rarely do I feel so seen by a book. I gobbled this work up with feverish excitement and gratitude\, and weeks later feel like I am carrying these stories around in my head and in my heart.”—Michelle Tea\, author of Against Memoir\n\n“Cohen handles her sentences\, her Sarah’s\, both gently and confidently. The result: a debut of equal parts ugly and beauty\, a debut full of heartbreakingly real characters.” —Jean Kyoung Frazier\, author of Pizza Girl\nAbout Sarahland\n\n“Queer\, dirty\, insightful\, and so funny” (Andrea Lawlor)\, this coyly revolutionary debut story collection imagines new origins and futures for its cast of unforgettable protagonists—almost all of whom are named Sarah.\n\nNAMED A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2021 BY THE MILLIONS * OPRAH MAGAZINE * ELECTRIC LITERATURE * REFINERY29\n\nIn Sarahland\, Sam Cohen brilliantly and often hilariously explores the ways in which traditional stories have failed us\, both demanding and thrillingly providing for its cast of Sarahs new origin stories\, new ways to love the planet and those inhabiting it\, and new possibilities for life itself. In one story\, a Jewish college Sarah passively consents to a form-life in pursuit of an MRS degree and is swept into a culture of normalized sexual violence. Another reveals a version of Sarah finding pleasure—and a new set of problems—by playing dead for a wealthy necrophiliac. A Buffy-loving Sarah uses fan fiction to work through romantic obsession. As the collection progresses\, Cohen explodes this search for self\, insisting that we have more to resist and repair than our own personal narratives. Readers witness as the ever-evolving “Sarah” gets recast: as a bible-era trans woman\, an aging lesbian literally growing roots\, a being who transcends the earth as we know it. While Cohen presents a world that will clearly someday end\, “Sarah” will continue.\n\nIn each Sarah’s refusal to adhere to a single narrative\, she potentially builds a better home for us all\, a place to live that demands no fixity of self\, no plague of consumerism\, no bodily compromise\, a place called Sarahland.

SUMMARY:Reuben Jonathan Miller in conversation with Terah Lawyer
DESCRIPTION:City Arts & Lectures presents: Reuben Jonathan Miller in conversation with Terah Lawyer\nCo-presented with Impact Justice \nMonday\, March 8\, 2021\n6:00pm Pacific Time\nKQED Broadcast: 03/21/2021\, 03/23/2021\, 03/24/2021\nTICKETS \n  \n\n\nThis event is a presented in partnership with Impact Justice \nReuben Jonathan Miller is a sociologist\, criminologist and a social worker who teaches at the University of Chicago in the School of Social Service Administration where he studies and writes about race\, democracy\, and the social life of the city. His book\, Halfway Home: Race\, Punishment\, and the Afterlife of Mass Incarceration\, shows that the American justice system was not created to rehabilitate\, and how parole is structured to keep classes of Americans impoverished\, unstable\, and disenfranchised long after they’ve paid their debt to society. Miller has been a member at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton New Jersey\, a fellow at the New America Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation\, and a visiting scholar at the University of Texas at Austin and Dartmouth College. A native son of Chicago\, he lives with his wife and children on the city’s Southside. \nTerah Lawyer has been an advocate for incarcerated people for more than a decade as a peer health educator\, a certified drug and alcohol counselor\, a youth diversion specialist\, and now as program manager for the Homecoming Project\, an innovative re-entry housing program at Impact Justice. Ms. Lawyer is herself a formerly incarcerated person\, and that experience informs her commitment to improving the justice system. \nImpact Justice is a national innovation and research center advancing new ideas and solutions for justice reform. Impact Justice was founded in 2015 on an idea: to create an organization that would imagine\, innovate\, and accept absolutely nothing about the status quo of our current justice system. We know the problems: too many people locked up\, including far too many people of color; families broken up and broken by our justice system; and a culture that too often treats people based on fear\, oppression\, and bias. For us to build the future we need\, we must build the world we want today. Info at https://impactjustice.org/ \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cristina Rivera Garza and Kit Schluter\, reading and in conversation
DESCRIPTION:Remote access event\, free and open to the public \nREGISTER TO ATTEND\n—or—\nWatch this program at YouTube \nWith emcee\, Carolina de Robertis \nSupported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts \nThis remote-access event starts promptly at 7:00 pm Pacific Time\, and is free and open to the public. Real-Time Captioning link will be provided at the event. Media Captioning provided after the event\, at our YouTube channel and at Poetry Center Digital Archive. For other reasonable accommodations please contact poetry@sfsu.edu \n\n\n\nCelebrated novelist\, poet\, and essayist Cristina Rivera Garza returns to The Poetry Center. She’ll be joined by poet and translator Kit Schluter\, in Mexico City. They’ll each read from their own writings\, then join in conversation with one another and with novelist Carolina de Robertis as emcee\, and respond to questions from the audience. \n\nOne day\, on a cloudy March afternoon to be more exact\, I was in a classroom lined with long\, rectangular windows in an old colonial building in the heart of Mexico City. Through one of those windows\, in the most surprising manner\, someone entered. It was a young man. He said he’d come from Oaxaca and that he wanted to meet me. I believe he sat in on the session in which we discussed the methods of documentary poetry\, the writing practice that incorporates and subverts\, that embraces and tests the public language of the dispossessed and the suffering…. Later\, that same young man who came in through the window as if it was a door asked me something impossible\, which is the only thing worth asking for.\n—Cristina Rivera Garza\, “Taking Shelter\,” Introduction to Grieving: Dispatches from a Wounded Country\n\nCristina Rivera Garza. “Born in Mexico and a resident of the United States for over two decades\, Rivera Garza is a prolific and multifaceted author of fiction\, essays\, and scholarship\, including nearly twenty works in Spanish. Her novels…are deeply informed by her training as a historian and frequently feature characters who stumble upon images\, texts\, or people that disturb the supposed clarity of the historical record.” (from the MacArthur Fellows citation\, 2020). Three of Rivera Garza’s acclaimed six novels have appeared in the US—most recently\, The Taiga Syndrome (El mal de la taiga\, trans. Suzanne Jill Levine and Aviva Kana); The Iliac Crest (La cresta de Ilión\, trans. Sarah Booker); and No One Will See Me Cry (Nadie me verá llorar\, trans. Andrew Hurley). \nWithin this past year\, Rivera Garza’s complete poems\, La fractura exacta: Poesía completa\, were published in Spanish (from Ediciones Libros del cardo\, in Chile). And three remarkable books of nonfiction also appeared\, in the US in English translation: Grieving: Dispatches from a Wounded Country (tr. Sarah Booker); The Restless Dead: Necrowriting & Disappropriation (tr. Robin Myers); and La Castañeda Insane Asylum: Narratives of Pain in Modern Mexico (tr. Laura Kanost). On the faculty at the University of Houston since 2016\, Rivera Garza is Distinguished Professor of Hispanic Studies and Creative Writing. Visit her blog (in Spanish and English)\, No hay tal lugar: U-tópicos contemporáneos. \n\nTrust\nWhen I first looked in the mirror\, I thought I looked dead\, but I had simply become a child. Beside my face was a blue cake so radiant\, even its light was edible.\n—Kit Schluter\, at The Brooklyn Rail\n\nKit Schluter is a poet-translator and bookmaker. His poetry and stories have appeared in Boston Review\, BOMB\, Brooklyn Rail\, Folder\, Hyperallergic\, and in the chapbooks Inclusivity Blueprint\, Journals\, Translations of Forgetting\, Without is a Part of Origin\, and the collections of stories and drawings\, 5 Cartoons/5 caricaturas (tr. Mariana Rodríguez\, Juan Malasuerte Editores)\, The Good in Having a Nuclear Family (Despite Editions)\, and his first full-length collection of poetry\, Pierrot’s Fingernails (Canarium Books\, 2020).

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Tracy Anne Hart on Stevie Ray Vaughan
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Monday\, November 30 at 6:00pm PST when photographer Tracy Anne Hart discusses her book\, Seeing Stevie Ray\, with former Creem magazine editor Robert Duncan on Zoom! \n10% of each book sold will be donated to the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank.\nStevie Ray Vaughan regularly donated to local food banks while on tour\, and in partnership with Hart we are pleased to do so in his memory.\nIf you would like to donate to the food bank directly\, we encourage you to do so here. \nKeep an eye out for our upcoming auction of an archival print of Stevie by Tracy Anne Hart. Posting November 20\, 2020! \nZoom Login Info\nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/89343683958 \nAbout Seeing Stevie Ray \nIt may be difficult to say anything about Stevie Ray Vaughan that hasn’t already been said. The skinny kid from Oak Cliff on the south side of Dallas who followed his older brother Jimmie in and out of local blues clubs and eventually to Austin would go on to establish himself as the finest guitar player of his generation and perhaps the best of all time. Vaughan was truly a conduit for the symphony of the universe. The music that flowed through him endeared him to hordes of fans and won him near-divine status among guitarists. Vaughan continues to inspire and enthrall even decades after his passing. \nWhat others have attempted to portray in prose\, photographer Tracy Anne Hart has expressed in imagery. From 1983 until just before his death in 1990\, Hart captured Vaughan as he summoned magic with his passion\, his technique\, his intensity\, and his love and respect for the music. The result is a deeply felt visual portrait of Stevie Ray Vaughan that tells us almost as much about the photographer behind the camera as it does about the musician in front. Through Hart’s eyes and mind\, readers will experience his genius in an entirely new way. \nHart also provides a glimpse at Vaughan’s legacy\, offering evidence of some of the next generation of guitarists who consider Vaughan a principal influence. The sum of her efforts comprises a work that offers a visual feast for guitar enthusiasts and music fans in Texas and beyond. Enjoy the photographs and remember to listen to Stevie’s music as often and as loudly as possible! \nAbout the Author \nTRACY ANNE HART\, a professional photographer since 1981\, is the owner of The Heights Gallery (www.theheightsgallery.com). Her photographs of music legends have been exhibited in galleries and are in private collections from Texas to Australia. Her work has graced album and DVD covers\, billboards\, international magazines\, and other media.

The series explores issues of race-\, gender-\, and class-based inequity through the lenses of the criminal justice system\, migration\, and displacement. The VOW Education Program connects over 20\,000 educators\, students\, and advocates each year with these stories and issues through oral history-based curricula\, trainings\, and holistic educational support.

SUMMARY:Author: Rand Quinn\, Class Action: Desegregation and Diversity in San Francisco Schools
DESCRIPTION:Quinn discusses the contentious racial politics that emerged from school desegregation and why the school district gradually resegregated despite a court mandate. \nSan Francisco’s school board is once again rethinking its student assignment system. Debates over student assignment trace back over a half century and map the long struggle to desegregate the city’s schools. In Class Action: Desegregation and Diversity in San Francisco Schools\, Rand Quinn explains the contentious racial politics that emerged from school desegregation and why the school district gradually resegregated despite a court mandate. Student assignment — once the remedy for government discrimination through busing and other desegregative mechanisms — soon became a tool intended to create diversity. \nRand Quinn is associate professor of education at the University of Pennsylvania. His research focuses on the origins and political consequences of private sector engagement in public education\, the politics of race and ethnicity in urban school reform and the impact of community-based institutions\, organizations and action in education.

Memoirist and professor Alden Jones sets out to explore why. But when a sudden personal crisis occurs while she is writing\, Jones realizes she must confront some difficult truths\, both in her life and on the page. THE WANTING WAS A WILDERNESS is a profoundly original work that blends criticism\, craft analysis\, and a memoir of Jones’s own time in the wilderness. The result is a celebration of WILD and a map of our long path to self-discovery. \nAbout The Long Accomplishment \nRick Moody\, the award-winning author of The Ice Storm\, shares the harrowing true story of the first year of his second marriage in this eventful\, month-by-month account. \nAt this story’s start\, Moody\, a recovering alcoholic and sexual compulsive with a history of depression\, is also the divorced father of a beloved little girl and a man in love; his answer to the question “Would you like to be in a committed relationship?” is\, fully and for the first time in his life\, “Yes.” \nAnd so his second marriage begins as he emerges\, humbly and with tender hopes\, from the wreckage of his past\, only to be battered by a stormy sea of external troubles—miscarriages\, the deaths of friends\, and robberies\, just for starters. As Moody has put it\, “This is a story in which a lot of bad luck is the daily fare of the protagonists\, but in which they are also in love.” To Moody’s astonishment\, matrimony turns out to be the site of strength in hard times\, a vessel infinitely tougher and more durable than any boat these two participants would have traveled by alone. Love buoys the couple\, lifting them above their hardships\, and the reader is buoyed along with them.
