SUMMARY:An Afternoon Craft Conversation with Christopher Feliciano Arnold
DESCRIPTION:DATE & TIME:\n\nWednesday\, October 13\, 2021 – 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLOCATION:\nDe La Salle Hall: Hagerty Lounge\, 1928 St. Marys Road\, Moraga\, CA 94575\nView a map and get directions.\n\n\n\n\nDESCRIPTION:\n“Post-Freudian Slips: How contemporary psychoanalytic thought can deepen the inner lives of your characters” by Christopher Feliciano Arnold \n\n\nThis craft talk will introduce students to a basic overview of contemporary psychoanalytic thought that can help them instill characters with a deeper level of psychological realism. Building upon the pioneering ideas of Sigmund and Anna Freud\, we will explore how the Post-Freudian thinkers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century can help writers render splintered selves\, fluid identities\, formative relationships\, traumas\, ecstasies and critical experiences like birth\, sex\, violence\, parenthood and death. \nChris Feliciano Arnold is the author of The Third Bank of the River: Power and Survival in the Twenty-First Century Amazon. He has written essays and journalism for The Atlantic\, Harper’s\, Outside\, Vice News\, The New York Times and more.

SUMMARY:Atsuro Riley
DESCRIPTION:Reads from his highly anticipated collection of poems\, Heard-Hoard\n\n\nFacebook Twitter Pinterest  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, October 14\, 2021 – 7:00pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCrowdcast\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets:\n\nSliding scale ($0-$100)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAtsuro Riley reads from Heard-Hoard (University of Chicago Press)\, his highly anticipated collection of poems. \n“Intoxicating. . . Sounds unheard and unrivaled since Atsuro Riley’s acclaimed debut permeate Heard-Hoard.  His elegant rhythms are atmospheric and robust\, his neologisms transform the ‘weed-embrangling snuffle-path\,’ his vernacular is magical as ‘dew-sparks galaxifying the crabgrass.’ Amid each mesmerizing reading\, like dancing to a good song for a good long time before truly hearing its lyrics\, Heard-Hoard’s remarkable stories crystallize; music becomes narrative. Atsuro Riley is an extraordinary poet. This book holds all the meanings of fantastic.” — Terrance Hayes\, National Book Award winning poet \nThis event will be streamed on our Crowdcast channel. \nREGISTER HERE \nAbout Heard-Hoard\nWinner of the Alice Fay di Castagnola Award from the Poetry Society of America\, this new collection of verse from Atsuro Riley offers a vivid weavework rendering and remembering an American place and its people. \nRecognized for his “wildly original” poetry and his “uncanny and unparalleled ability to blend lyric and narrative\,” Atsuro Riley deepens here his uncommon mastery and tang.  In Heard-Hoard\, Riley has “razor-exacted” and “raw-wired” an absorbing new sequence of poems\, a vivid weavework rendering an American place and its people. \nAt once an album of tales\, a portrait gallery\, and a soundscape; an “inscritched” dirt-mural and hymnbook\, Heard-Hoard encompasses a chorus of voices shot through with (mostly human) histories and mysteries\, their “old appetites as chronic as tides.”  From the crackling story-man calling us together in the primal circle to Tammy figuring “time and time that yonder oak\,” this collection is a profound evocation of lives and loss and lore. \nAbout Atsuro Riley\nAtsuro Riley is the author of Heard-Hoard\, winner of the Alice Fay di Castagnola Award from the Poetry Society of America\, and  Romey’s Order\, which was the recipient of the Whiting Writers’ Award\, the Kate Tufts Discovery Award\, The Believer Poetry Award\, and the Witter Bynner Award from the Library of Congress. His work has been honored with the Lannan Foundation Literary Fellowship\, the Pushcart Prize\, and the Wood Prize given by Poetry magazine. Brought up in the South Carolina lowcountry\, Riley lives in San Francisco.

We request that the in-person audience observe be 100% masked at the Hollywood Muse Masked Ball tonight! \nIn the Hollywood Muse Masked Ball\, poet Tony Seymour takes a deep dive into an extended work inspired by his “Hollywood Muse\,” enlisted for strictly inspirational purposes at a juncture when he desperately needed to get his creative juices flowing again\, in a time when beautiful sunsets\, swaying palms\, laid back locals and planeloads of tourists weren’t nearly enough. Seymour adds that “Essentially it starts on a love theme then expands into a poetic overview of how social structures have been the bane of civilization. It then ventures into taking all the myth out of dying and then formulating a strong sense of self as a human goal……to go beyond the ways of subconscious indoctrination.” \nSeymour was the publicist for Black Panthers Huey Newton and Erica Huggins POETRY in the early 70’s via City Lights Books. He’s seen it all\, and has always had plenty of words to sling. For years now\, however\, he’s been languishing in Hawaii. No real paradise in his eyes. Now\, for a minute\, he’s flying back to the Bay Area to re-engage with the world that made him\, and he’s induced his long-time friend\, the violinist India Cooke to bring to his epic recital the stellar musical interplay of Cooke+Crossman\, fully masked for the occasion. Cooke+Crossman comprises India and pianist Bill Crossman in a duo they have had going for a dozen years. \nCooke\, violinist\, composer\, and educator\, performs improv\, jazz and classical. She has performed with Pharaoh Sanders\, Peter Kowald\, Sun Ra\, Cecil Taylor\, Pauline Oliveros\, George Lewis\, Joelle Leandre\, Amiri Baraka and many others. She has also been a featured soloist with the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players. India has performed in Bay Area symphony and opera orchestras\, chamber ensembles and Broadway shows. As one of California’s most respected contract artists\, she has performed with the Louie Bellson Orchestra\, Sarah Vaughn\, Frank Sinatra\, Tony Bennett and many others. India has recorded sessions for Atlantic\, Fantasy and Stax records. As a featured recording artist she can be heard on Leo Records with Sun Ra and his Arkestra\, Black Saint Records and Hat Music’s “Nomadic Winds\,” Plainisphares’ “African Roots of Jazz” and Sparkling Beatnik Records “The Circle Trio~Live at the Meridian.” She recorded\, and released to critical acclaim\, her Grammy nominated debut cd as a leader\, “Music and Arts’ India Cooke~Redhanded.” India is currently on the Mills College Music Department Faculty\, Ensemble Directors & Lesson Instructors roster\, and teaches at her private studio – India’s Music Room. \nCrossman\, jazz/world-music pianist\, composer\, and educator\, is an innovator in freely-improvised jazz piano. He has performed with some of the world’s greatest jazz musicians and has appeared in performance venues and festivals from coast to coast and internationally. For over a dozen years\, Bill has played with jazz violinist India Cooke in the India Cooke-Bill Crossman Duo\, now renamed COOKE🔸CROSSMAN on their 2018 CD “Infinite Dimensions”. Bill can also be heard on The Troublemakers Union’s recent CD “Fight Back.” Bill’s jazz-styled musical “John Brown’s Truth\,” focusing on the last year of the famed anti-slavery abolitionist’s life\, has been staged throughout northern CA and in New York City. See website www.johnbrownstruthmusical.com. A poet himself\, Bill’s jazz piano has accompanied poetry readings by Al Young\, Genny Lim\, David Meltzer\, and others.

SUMMARY:Rebecca Solnit in conversation with Adam Hochschild on her new book Orwell's Roses
DESCRIPTION:Sparked by her unexpected encounter with the surviving roses he planted in 1936\, Solnit’s account of this understudied aspect of Orwell’s life explores  his writing and his actions—from going deep into the coal mines of England\, fighting in the Spanish Civil War\, critiquing Stalin when much of the international left still supported him (and then critiquing that left)\, to his analysis of the relationship between lies and authoritarianism.  \nThrough Solnit’s celebrated ability to draw unexpected connections\, readers encounter the photographer Tina Modotti’s roses and her Stalinism\, Stalin’s obsession with forcing lemons to grow in impossibly cold conditions\, Orwell’s slave-owning ancestors in Jamaica\, Jamaica Kincaid’s critique of colonialism and imperialism in the flower garden\, and the brutal rose industry in Colombia that supplies the American market.  \nThe book draws to a close with a rereading of Nineteen Eighty-Four that completes her portrait of a more hopeful Orwell\, as well as a reflection on pleasure\, beauty\, and joy as acts of resistance. \nWriter\, historian\, and activist Rebecca Solnit is the author of more than twenty books including  Call Them By Their True Names (Winner of the 2018 Kirkus Prize for Nonfiction)\, Men Explain Things to Me\, and A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities that Arise in Disaster. \nAdam Hochschild is an American author\, journalist\, historian and lecturer whose books include King Leopold’s Ghost\, To End All Wars: A Story of Loyalty and Rebellion\, and Spain in Our Hearts. \n\nAttendance is limited. Ticket with purchase of book now available at The Green Arcade Online Shop (www.TheGreenArcade.com). Individual tickets on sale closer to the event depending on availability. Doors open at 6:30 – event at 7pm. \n\n\nThis is a masked event and vaccination cards will be mandatory. The event will be livestreamed on YouTube. \nMany thanks to the McRoskey Mattress Company

SUMMARY:An Evening with Alicia Garza
DESCRIPTION:Oneof the country’s leading organizers and a co-creator of Black Lives Matter\, Alicia Garza’s work has helped shape the discourse on activism and empowerment for more than a decade. \nIn 2013\, Alicia wrote what she called “a love letter to Black people” on Facebook\, in the aftermath of the acquittal of the man who murdered seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin. She wrote: Black people. I love you. I love us. Our lives matter. \nLong before #BlackLivesMatter became a rallying cry for this generation\, Alicia spent the better part of two decades learning and unlearning some hard lessons about organizing. The lessons she offers are different from the “rules for radicals” that animated earlier generations of activists\, and diverge from the charismatic\, patriarchal model of the American civil rights movement. \nIn her latest book\, The Purpose of Power\, Alicia reflects instead on how making room amongst the woke for those who are still awakening can inspire and activate more people to fight for the world we all deserve. Drawing on both her life and her work\, Alicia shares a new paradigm for change for the next generation of change-makers. \nJoin performer\, social worker\, and activist Honey Mahogany for a powerful conversation with Alicia about her life\, her work\, and how to build transformative movements to address the challenges of our time. \nFree\, suggested donation of $20. \nhttps://www.ciis.edu/public-programs/event-calendar/garza-alicia-october-20-2021 publicprograms@ciis.edu 415-575-6175

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Tiphanie Yanique and Edwidge Danticat
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, October 21st at 6pm PT when Tiphanie Yanique discusses her novel\, Monster in the Middle\, with Edwidge Danticat on Zoom! \nZoom Registration \nPraise for Monster in the Middle \n“Monster in the Middle is as boundless as it is affecting. Yanique’s prose leaps with possibility\, as her characters live and laugh and fight and love. Yanique captures romance from its peaks to its craters\, deftly weaving whole worlds from everything in between.”—Bryan Washington\, author of Memorial \n“A total wonder. Utterly original and structurally thrilling. I am in awe of this novel and Tiphanie Yanique’s masterful storytelling. This feels like a modern fable\, a contemporary folk ballad full of unforgettable characters who\, by the end\, felt as familiar to me as family. What a gorgeous ode to love and its power.” —Brandon Taylor\, author of Filthy Animals and Real Life \n“Tiphanie Yanique is one of our very best writers. This book is another marvel\, expertly mixing voices and styles\, even structures and traditions\, to capture the way lives naturally flow together and apart over time…Monster in the Middle is a book to study and savor.” —Matthew Salesses\, author of Craft in the Real World \nAbout Monster in the Middle \nFrom the award-winning author of Land of Love and Drowning\, an electric new novel that maps the emotional inheritance of one couple newly in love. \nWhen Fly and Stela meet in 21st Century New York City\, it seems like fate. He’s a Black American musician from a mixed-religious background who knows all about heartbreak. She’s a Catholic science teacher from the Caribbean\, looking for lasting love. But are they meant to be? The answer goes back decades—all the way to their parents’ earliest loves. \nVibrant and emotionally riveting\, Monster in the Middle moves across decades\, from the U.S. to the Virgin Islands to Ghana and back again\, to show how one couple’s romance is intrinsically influenced by the family lore and love stories that preceded their own pairing. What challenges and traumas must this new couple inherit\, what hopes and ambitions will keep them moving forward? Exploring desire and identity\, religion and class\, passion and obligation\, the novel posits that in order to answer the question “who are we meant to be with?” we must first understand who we are and how we came to be. \nAbout Tiphanie Yanique \nTiphanie Yanique is the author of the award-winning novel Land of Love and Drowning\, as well as the poetry collection\, Wife. Winner of the 2014 Center for Fiction First Novel award\, and a National Book Foundation 5 under 35 honoree\, she has also received a Rona Jaffe Award and a Fulbright scholarship.

SUMMARY:9th Ave: Teresa K. Miller with Roxane Beth Johnson and Jenny Qi
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday\, October 22nd at 7pm PT when Teresa K. Miller is joined by fellow poets Roxane Beth Johnson and Jenny Qi to celebrate her collection\, Borderline Fortune\, at 9th Ave! \nMasks Required for In-Store Event \nJoin us virtually by registering here \nPraise for Borderline Fortune \n“The poems in Teresa K. Miller’s Borderline Fortune emphasize the greater context of our existence as individuals\, as family members\, and as cultures. Miller mines family as a construct\, whether naturally related or collected. She interrogates relationships with the lens of a geologist\, exploring the physical\, chemical\, and biological properties of the gravitational fields that pull us together and the elements that erode us. Several ages are explored by the poems\, acknowledging the violence that must be present for eloquent transition and rebirth. The poems in Borderline Fortune are so sharply crafted\, they serve as the pick and axe that dig deep into the granite of the past. Miller questions specific characters\, many ghosts from the past that hold secrets to a history she is rebirthing. The poems shape a world created from the knowledge and the mythology Miller has extracted.” —Elmaz Abinader\, author of This House\, My Bones and cofounder of VONA \n“Borderline Fortune feels like a book that was written to save oneself\, to enact through poetry a means of salvation. Teresa K. Miller weaves together transcendent astonishments\, precise images of the natural world\, histories of horrors still present in the land\, & personal revelations as intimate as bruises\, weaving them into a single\, entangled whole. Borderline Fortune is not a book that solves a problem\, but a book that creates a net\, a thing made of both solidity & gaps\, open enough to be pulled through the dangers\, strong enough to haul a body up to the air. This salvation happens in the reading\, how the reader creates the net along with the poem\, hand-in-hand\, each one pulling the other to the surface\, ceaselessly\, with every memory of beauty & of grief. The book is a reminder that salvation is an ongoing work\, for\, as Miller writes\, ‘In the end\, there was no end.’” —Mathias Svalina\, creator of the Dream Delivery Service and author of The Wine-Dark Sea \n“In the sweeping expanses of Borderline Fortune\, Teresa K. Miller grapples with the complexity of inheritance\, the complicated legacies of family\, history\, and place. What created us\, and what do we in turn create? How closely twined are belonging and betrayal? Here\, history\, identity\, and the natural world meet and merge: ‘a riven nausea in the cambium\, / some needle-leafed private anguish.’ Geography itself is sentient and responsive: ‘lies twine into granite\, brine / into mineral creatures made of lace.’ In the end\, the poems form a landscape we must immerse ourselves in\, their movement as dark and unpredictable as the ocean or tectonic plates\, and their story one we don’t navigate as much as survive: ‘Haul / yourself out\, / one frozen leg at a time.’” —Laura Walker\, author of swarm lure and psalmbook \nAbout Borderline Fortune \nA collection that explores inherited trauma on an individual and communal level\, from a National Poetry Series–winning poet who “refus[es] the mind’s limits” (Carol Muske-Dukes) \nBorderline Fortune is a meditation on intangible family inheritance—of unresolved intergenerational conflicts and traumas in particular—set against the backdrop of our planetary inheritance as humans. As species go extinct and glaciers melt\, Teresa K. Miller asks what we owe one another and what it means to echo one’s ancestors’ grief and fear. Drawing on her family history\, from her great-grandfather’s experience as a schoolteacher on an island in the Bering Strait to her father’s untimely death\, as well as her pursuit of regenerative horticulture\, Miller seeks through these beautifully crafted poems to awaken from the intergenerational trance and bear witness to our current moment with clarity and attention. \nAbout Teresa K. Miller \nA graduate of Barnard College and the Mills College MFA program\, Teresa K. Miller is the author of sped (Sidebrow) and Forever No Lo (Tarpaulin Sky) as well as co-editor of Food First: Selected Writings from 40 Years of Movement Building (Food First Books).

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Warren Ellis on Nina Simone's Gum with Joe Cardamone
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, October 23rd at 12pm PT when Warren Ellis joins us to discuss his book\, Nina Simone’s Gum\, with Joe Cardamone on Zoom! \nTHIS IS A TICKETED EVENT \nTickets are available here\, and include a copy of Nina Simone’s Gum with signed bookplate and access to the virtual event. \nPraise for Nina Simone’s Gum \n“In praise of meaning-rich relics and magical things. Totally heartwarming project.” — Max Porter \n“A unique study of a fan’s devotion\, of transcendence and of the artistic vocation – it’s got depth and great warmth. It’s a beautiful piece of work.” — Kevin Barry \n“A moving\, inspirational insight into a beautiful mind.” — Jim Jarmusch \n“A warm homage and affecting memoir.” — Kirkus \nAbout Nina Simone’s Gum \nFrom award-winning musician and composer Warren Ellis comes the unexpected and inspiring story of a piece of chewing gum. Featuring an introduction from Nick Cave. \n“Warren has turned this memento\, snatched from his idol’s piano in a moment of rapture\, into a genuine religious artefact.” —Nick Cave \nOn Thursday July 1st\, 1999\, Dr. Nina Simone gave a rare performance as part of Nick Cave’s Meltdown Festival. After the show\, in a state of awe\, Warren Ellis crept onto the stage\, took Dr. Simone’s piece of chewed gum from the piano\, wrapped it in her stage towel and put it in a Tower Records bag. The gum remained with him for twenty years; a sacred totem\, his creative muse\, growing in significance with every passing year. \nIn 2019\, Cave – his collaborator and great friend – asked Warren if there was anything he could contribute to display in his Stranger Than Kindness exhibition. Warren realized the time had come to release the gum. Together they agreed it should be housed in a glass case like a holy relic. Worrying the gum would be damaged or lost\, Warren decided to first have it cast in silver and gold\, sparking a chain of events that no one could have predicted\, one that would take him back to his childhood and his relationship to found objects. \nNina Simone’s Gum is about how something so small can form beautiful connections between people. It is a story about the meaning we place on things\, on experiences\, and how they become imbued with spirituality. It is a celebration of artistic process\, friendship\, understanding and love. \nAbout Warren Ellis \nWarren Ellis is an Australian multi-instrumentalist and composer\, most famous for his work as collaborator and bandmate of Nick Cave\, in both the Bad Seeds and Grinderman. Both solo and alongside Nick he is also a multi-award winning film composer whose soundtracks include The Proposition\, The Road\, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford\, Mustang and most recently This Train I Ride. His own band Dirty Three have released eight studio albums since 1994 and he is an in-demand producer and writer\, working with artists including Marianne Faithful\, Jupiter and Okwess and Tinariwen.

SUMMARY:Lessons on Moving Through Change\, Loss\, and Disruption
DESCRIPTION:We all go through times when it feels like the ground is being pulled out from underneath us and what we relied on as steady and solid may change or even appear to vanish. Not only are loss and separation painful\, but even positive changes can cause great stress. Yet life is full of change: birth\, death\, marriage\, divorce\, a new relationship\, losing or starting a job\, beginning a new phase in life or ending one. Change is stressful\, even when it is much desired or anticipated. The unknown can feel scary and threatening. \nExperienced mindfulness teacher Kaira Jewel Lingo provides accessible advice on navigating difficult times of transition by drawing on Buddhist teachings on impermanence to help us establish equanimity and resilience. Her latest book\, We Were Made for These Times\, dives into her work\, providing essential teaching and meditation\, unfolding a step-by-step process to nurture deeper freedom and stability in daily life. \nIn this era of global disruption-where threats to our individual\, social\, and planetary safety abound-life can feel overwhelming. Kaira Jewel’s work provides us with powerful ways to meet life’s challenges with wisdom\, resilience\, and ease. The time-honored teachings that Kaira shares help us develop presence and compassion\, supporting us to release the fear\, doubt\, and resistance that hold us back. \nJoin CIIS Integrative Health Studies professor Megan Lipsett for a conversation with Kaira Jewel about her teaching and her latest book\, and learn how to move through change\, loss\, and disruption to find both freedom and stability. \nFree\, suggested donation of $10. \n  \nhttps://www.ciis.edu/public-programs/event-calendar/lingo-jewel-kaira-october-28-2021 publicprograms@ciis.edu 415-575-6175

SUMMARY:Nikki Giovanni: Make Me Rain
DESCRIPTION:Presented by KPFA Radio 94.1 FM with Marcus Books \nHosted by Nina Serrano \nNikki Giovanni’s poetry has inspired\, enlightened\, and captivated generations of readers. She is cherished by the nation and revered in the African-American community as a potent and affirming siren of culture\, tradition\, and the issues of our time. In MAKE ME RAIN Giovanni is as sharp and outspoken as ever\, bringing profound and timely poems that call attention to injustice and give readers an unfiltered look into the more guarded regions of her heart. \nIn MAKE ME RAIN Giovanni celebrates her loved ones and unapologetically declares her pride in her Black heritage\, while exploring the enduring impact of the twin sins of racism and white nationalism. With this compendium she reaffirms her place as a uniquely vibrant and relevant American voice with poems such as\, “I Come from Athletes\,” and “Rainy Days\,” which call out segregation and Donald Trump; “Unloved (for Aunt Cleota)\,” and “When I Could No Longer\,” a personal elegy for the relatives who saved her from an abusive childhood home. \nThe poet recently trended on Twitter after thousands logged on to hear her chat virtually with activist Angela Davis.  From the records she released in the 1970’s\, to her devout tribute of a “thug life” tattoo to honor rapper Tupac Shakur\, Giovanni is recognized by younger generations for her insight\, connectedness\, and the comforting familiarity of her voice.  She is the admired elder stateswoman of African American letters\, and final representative of an extraordinary cohort that once included her dear friends\, writers Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison. \nWith MAKE ME RAIN\, a beloved American poet challenges us with a powerful and deeply personal collection of verse that speaks to the injustices of society while illuminating the depths of her own heart. Stirring\, provocative\, and poignant\, these poems pierce the heart and nourish the soul. \nSuggested Donation $5-$20. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/nikki-giovanni-make-me-rain-tickets-170040590985

This profound and graceful book not only redefines what is ‘Orwellian\,’ it reimagines how we might live a life of greater intention by opening our hearts to what is beautiful\, brave\, and of Earth.” —Terry Tempest Williams\, author of Erosion \nAbout Orwell’s Roses\n“In the year 1936 a writer planted roses.” So begins Rebecca Solnit’s new book\, a reflection on George Orwell’s passionate gardening and the way that his involvement with plants\, particularly flowers\, and the natural world illuminates his other commitments as a writer and antifascist\, and the intertwined politics of nature and power. \nSparked by her unexpected encounter with the surviving roses he planted in 1936\, Solnit’s account of this understudied aspect of Orwell’s life explores  his writing and his actions—from going deep into the coal mines of England\, fighting in the Spanish Civil War\, critiquing Stalin when much of the international left still supported him (and then critiquing that left)\, to his analysis of the relationship between lies and authoritarianism. Through Solnit’s celebrated ability to draw unexpected connections\, readers encounter the photographer Tina Modotti’s roses and her Stalinism\, Stalin’s obsession with forcing lemons to grow in impossibly cold conditions\, Orwell’s slave-owning ancestors in Jamaica\, Jamaica Kincaid’s critique of colonialism and imperialism in the flower garden\, and the brutal rose industry in Colombia that supplies the American market. The book draws to a close with a rereading of Nineteen Eighty-Four that completes her portrait of a more hopeful Orwell\, as well as a reflection on pleasure\, beauty\, and joy as acts of resistance. \nAbout Rebecca Solnit and Jenny Odell\nRebecca Solnit is the author of more than twenty books\, including Recollections of My Nonexistence\, A Field Guide to Getting Lost\, The Faraway Nearby\, A Paradise Built in Hell\, River of Shadows\, and Wanderlust.

SUMMARY:Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz with Steve Wasserman: Not a Nation of Immigrants
DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio 94.1 FM presents \nRoxanne Dunbar-Ortiz with Steve Wasserman: A KPFA Zoom Event \nNot a Nation of Immigrants: Settler Colonialism\, White Supremacy\, and a History of Erasure and Exclusion \n“Her thought-work and writing are both full-force with courage and wisdom. In the age of telling truth\, she says\, the US has yet to correct its narrative to acknowledge its settler-colonialist and imperialist past and present. This book should be taught in classrooms; readers will finish it changed.” \n-Booklist\, Starred Review \n“Dunbar-Ortiz’s message is clear: uplifting narratives about the United States as a ‘nation of immigrants’ allow the country to hide from its history of colonialism\, genocide\, slavery\, and racism . . . . [T]his thought-provoking account will prove insightful for all.” \n-Library Journal \nMany Americans will say proudly that we are a nation of immigrants. In this bold new book\, acclaimed historian Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz asserts that this self-congratulatory myth is harmful because it masks the US’s history of settler colonialism\, genocide\, white supremacy\, slavery\, and structural inequality\, all of which we still grapple with today. This myth\, she claims\, is a convenient response by the ruling class to the demands for decolonialization\, reparations\, and social justice. This paradigm-shifting new work from the author of An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States insists that we need to stop perpetuating this simplistic and inaccurate ideal and embrace the real history of the United States. \nRoxanne Dunbar-Ortiz grew up in rural Oklahoma\, the daughter of a tenant farmer. Dunbar-Ortiz has been active in the international Indigenous movement for more than four decades. She is the author of eight books. \nSteve Wasserman is currently publisher of the award-winning Heyday Books. \nSuggested Donation $5-$20. \n  \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/roxanne-dunbar-ortiz-not-a-nation-of-immigrants-tickets-170048201749

Ross Gay is interested in studying joy. His four books of poetry include the National Book Award winning Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude (2015)\, and his latest\, Be Holding (2020)\, is the winner of the PEN /Jean Stein Book Award. Gay is also the author of the NYT bestselling collection of essays\, The Book of Delights\, and co-author\, with Aimee Nezhukumatathil\, of the chapbook Lace and Pyrite: Letters from Two Gardens. A long time gardener and advocate for cultivating community\, Gay is a founding member of the food justice and joy project the Bloomington Community Orchard.

SUMMARY:Poetry & the Senses Fall 2021 Fellows Reading
DESCRIPTION:The Arts Research Center will celebrate the 2021 Fall Poetry Fellows with a reading of work created during their fellowship semester. This event will feature undergrad fellows Anastasia Le and Gisselle Medina; graduate fellows Lindsay Choi and Vincente Perez; faculty fellows Ahmad Diab and Jesse Nathan; and community fellows Maurya Kerr and D’mani Thomas\, and be followed by a short conversation and Q&A with Chiyuma Elliott. \nDuring fall 2021\, these amazing poetry fellows will explore and push against the theme coexistence.  The word coexistence has a spatial component\, and implies the sharing of space or cohabitation within overlapping territories; it also has a temporal dimension\, suggesting simultaneous presence with others in the same moment in time. These fellows engage capaciously with issues of mutuality\, synchronicity\, interdependence\, and care – from enlivening exchanges between beings\, to the porous line between animate and inanimate\, to the challenges of living together on our planet\, to the uncanny shivers of coincidence. \nPlease read more about these fellows here.

SUMMARY:On Healing Indigenous Landscapes through Indigenous Science
DESCRIPTION:Despite the undeniable fact that Indigenous communities are among the most affected by climate devastation\, Indigenous science is very rarely found in mainstream environmental policy or discourse. While holistic land\, water\, and forest management practices born from a millennia of Indigenous knowledge systems have much to teach all of us\, Indigenous science has long been ignored\, otherized\, or perceived as “soft”-the product of a systematic\, centuries-long campaign of racism\, colonialism\, extractive capitalism\, and delegitimization. \nJessica Hernandez (Maya Ch’orti’ and Zapotec)\, environmental scientist and founder of environmental agency Pina Soul\, introduces and contextualizes Indigenous environmental knowledge and proposes a vision of land stewardship that heals rather than displaces and generates rather than destroys. She breaks down the failures of western-defined conservatism and shares alternatives-citing the restoration work of urban Indigenous people in Seattle\, her family’s fight against ecoterrorism in Latin America\, and holistic land management approaches of Indigenous groups across the continent. \nIn Dr. Hernandez’s latest book\, Fresh Banana Leaves: Healing Indigenous Landscapes through Indigenous Science\, she breaks down why western conservationism isn’t working and offers Indigenous models informed by case studies\, personal stories\, and family histories that center the voices of Latin American women and land protectors. \nJoin Dr. Hernandez in a conversation about her life and work and explore how to stop the eco-colonialism ravaging Indigenous lands to restore our relationship with Earth to one of harmony and respect. \nFree\, suggested donation of $10. \nhttps://www.ciis.edu/public-programs \npublicprograms@ciis.edu 415-575-6175
