SUMMARY:Thea Prieto discusses From the Caves with guest\, The Last Exit author Michael Kaufman
DESCRIPTION:Red Hen Press has teamed up with Lost City Bookstore in Washington\, D.C. for a virtual event series in 2022! \nJoin us in welcoming Thea Prieto as she discusses From the Caveswith guest\, The Last Exit author Michael Kaufman! \nAbout From the Caves: \nEnvironmental catastrophe has driven four people inside the dark throat of a cave: Sky\, a child coming of age; Tie\, pregnant and grieving; Mark\, a young man poised to assume primacy; and Teller\, an elder\, holder of stories. As the devastating heat of summer grows\, so does the poison in Teller’s injured leg and the danger of Tie’s imminent labor\, food and water dwindling while the future becomes increasingly dependent on the words Sky gleans from the dead\, stories pieced together from recycled knowledge\, fragmented histories\, and half-buried creation myths. From the Caves presents the past\, present\, and future in tandem\, reshaping ancient and modern ideas of death and motherhood\, grief and hope\, endings and beginnings. \n*** \nThea Prieto is a recipient of the Laurels Award Fellowship\, as well as a finalist for the international Edwin L. Stockton\, Jr. Award and Glimmer Train’s Short Story Award for New Writers. She writes and edits for Poets & Writers\, Propeller Magazine\, and The Gravity of the Thing\, and her work has also appeared at New Orleans Review\, Longreads\, Entropy\, The Masters Review\, and elsewhere. She lives in Portland\, Oregon\, where she teaches creative writing at Portland State University and Portland Community College. From the Caves is her first book. \nMichael Kaufman\, PhD\, is a writer of both fiction and non-fiction books. As an advisor\, activist\, and keynote speaker\, he has developed innovative approaches to engage men and boys in promoting gender equality and positively transforming men’s lives. Over the past four decades his work with the United Nations\, governments\, non-governmental organizations\, corporations\, trade unions\, and universities has taken him to fifty countries. Michael is the co-founder of the White Ribbon Campaign\, the largest effort in the world of men working to end violence against women. He volunteers as a senior fellow at Promundo (Washington D.C. ) and co-wrote its first State of the Worlds’ Fathers Report. He advised the French government in 2019 and the Canadian government in 2018 as a member of their respective G7 Gender Equality Advisory Councils. In 2017 he was awarded Canada’s Meritorious Service Cross. \nFrom the Caves will be available at Lost City Books!
