Her award-winning photography has graced the covers of books internationally and has been featured in shows throughout the city. After a successful 20-year career in photography\, she decided to take a left turn and go from telling a story with an image\, to telling a story with words. Nicole’s debut novel\, an apocalyptic women’s fiction thriller\, was inspired by a dream she had when a real life snow storm shut down all forms of public transportation in the city. PAST THIS POINT tells the story of one woman and her dog fighting to survive during a deadly virus outbreak that renders New York City a ghost town. \nA former Wallace Stegner Fellow and Merrill House and Clampitt House resident\, Peter Kline teaches writing at the University of San Francisco and in Stanford University’s Master of Liberal Arts Program.

SUMMARY:Litquake on Lockdown: Sarah Ray and A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety
DESCRIPTION:A youth movement is reenergizing global environmental activism. The “climate generation”—late millennials and iGen\, or Generation Z—is demanding that policy makers and government leaders take immediate action to address the dire outcomes predicted by climate science. Those inheriting our planet’s environmental problems expect to encounter challenges\, but they may not have the skills to grapple with the feelings of powerlessness and despair that may arise. Author and professor Sarah Jaquette Ray releases her new book A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety (UC Press)\, an “existential tool kit” for the climate generation. Combining insights from psychology\, sociology\, social movements\, mindfulness\, and the environmental humanities\, Ray explains why and how we need to let go of eco-guilt\, resist burnout\, and cultivate resilience while advocating for climate justice. FREE\, $5 suggested donation \nStreamed live on Crowdcast and Facebook Live!\nBooks are available from your favorite indie bookstores\, or order from bookshop.org!\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n \nSarah Jaquette Ray\nSarah Jaquette Ray teaches environmental studies at Humboldt State University in Arcata\, California\, and is also the author of The Ecological Other: Environmental Exclusion in American Culture.

SUMMARY:Alka Joshi with Angie Coiro
DESCRIPTION:This event is online.\nJoin us for an event with Alka Joshi\, your new favorite novelist. Reading during this time period can be challenging… but the exquisite story we’re about to share is guaranteed to sweep you away to another time and place. \nWe know you’ll love Alka’s debut\, The Henna Artist\, as much as we do. Beautiful and compellingly readable\, this novel effortlessly evokes post-Raj 1950s Jaipur\, all while completely enmeshing you in the conflicts and politics that drive the courageous protagonist Lakshmi Shastri. Against all odds\, and after fleeing an arranged marriage to an abusive older man\, the teenaged Lakshmi carves out a living for herself as a henna artist\, friend\, and confidante to wealthy\, upper-caste women within the grand Pink City. Then\, as a grown woman several years into this new life\, an exciting twist suddenly threatens to unravel all that Lakshmi has built. \nIn conversation with our own award-winning in house journalist\, Angie Coiro\, this is one literary conversation you do not want to miss. \nMore than just a romantic work of historical fiction\, The Henna Artist is based off Alka’s late mother’s life— but this story serves as a reimagining of what life might have been like if Alka’s mother hadn’t been in an arranged marriage at 18\, with three children by 21. Instead\, the novel recreates her life as if she had been able to pursue the independence and education that she never enjoyed in real life… the independence and education that Alka’s mother advocated for her. \nCaptivating and smart\, this is the perfect read for your digital book group— a novel that will transport you completely each time it is opened. \nRegistration for this event is open\, with the additional options of making a tax-deductible donation to Kepler’s Literary Foundation\, or supporting Kepler’s Books with a (non-tax-deductible) book purchase.  Donations will go toward Kepler’s Literary Foundation programs online\, in local schools and throughout our community.  \n**Registration will close one hour before the event; please reserve your spot early to guarantee access\, as registrations are limited.**
