SUMMARY:Elizabeth Bradfield in Conversation with Susan Rich | East End Books PTown
DESCRIPTION:East End Books Boston Seaport Presents: Elizabeth Bradfield “Cascadia Field Guide: Art\, Ecology\, Poetry” in Conv. w/ Susan Rich “Blue Atlas” Boston Store 4/14 @5pm \nElizabeth Bradfield is the author of five books\, and her poems have appeared in The New Yorker\, Poetry\, The Atlantic Monthly\, Orion\, and elsewhere. A Stegner Fellow and Audre Lorde Prize winner\, she is the founder of Broadsided Press\, teaches at Brandeis University\, and has worked as a naturalist in Cascadia and beyond for the past twenty-some years. Bradfield grew up in Tacoma and attended the University of Washington; she lives on Cape Cod. \nThis field guide is a deeply informative and wildly exuberant visual and literary romp through one of the most spectacular regions of the world–a varied chorus of voices and visual talents\, all celebrating the animals and plants of the great Pacific Northwest.–Ray Troll\, Artist and Co-author of Cruisin’ the Fossil Coastline \nSusan Rich is the author of eight books\, including Gallery of Postcards and Maps: New and Selected Poems\, as well as Cloud Pharmacy\, The Alchemist’s Kitchen\, Cures Include Travel\, and The Cartographer’s Tongue: Poems of the World. Her poetry has earned her awards from Fulbright Foundation\, PEN USA\, and the Times Literary Supplement (London). Individual poems appear in the Harvard Review\, New England Review\, O Magazine\, and Poetry Ireland\, among other places. Susan is co-editor with Kelli Russell Agodon of Demystifying the Manuscript: Creating a Book of Poems. She teaches at Highline College and directs Poets on the Coast: A Writing Retreat for Women from Seattle. Susan currently resides in Seattle\, Washington. \n“The remarkable poems of Blue Atlas chart an expansive life which spins around an epicenter of loss\, but loss is too tame a word\, really\, for what this speaker bears. ‘I am a woman swollen with the history of my dead\, ‘ Rich writes\, ‘a body awash in stories.’ She describes an imperiled childhood and a young adulthood that culminates in a coerced midterm abortion\, which ‘stays suspended in resin / like a tiny scorpion\, / transforming anger into amber.’ Blue Atlas exquisitely performs the way trauma–the utter loss of self-determination\, of choice–can turn a life to seawater\, to drift\, to ‘somehow\, the might still be–‘ mapping ‘constellations of in-between\, ‘ suspended between deciding and undeciding\, from a space outside of the circumference of longing\, where poetry lives.”–Diane Seuss\, author of frank: sonnets

SUMMARY:Kate Gale and Helen Benedict at Skylight Books!
DESCRIPTION:In The Good Deed\, Helen Benedict offers a stark\, powerful portrait of women on opposite sides of a refugee camp in Greece: the refugees trapped inside\, and the troubled American tourist whose good intentions morph into a dangerous delusion\, resulting in a poignant\, layered novel on displacement and belonging\, love and betrayal\, and the jagged space between altruism and egoism. \nHelen Benedict\, a professor at Columbia University\, is the author of seven previous novels\, six books of nonfiction\, and a play. Her newest novel\, The Good Deed\, hailed by Kirkus\, Publishers Weekly and Booklist\, comes out of the research she conducted for her 2022 nonfiction book\, Map of Hope and Sorrow\, which earned PEN’s Jean Stein Grant for Literary Oral History in 2021. Benedict’s previous novel\, Wolf Season\, received a starred review in Library Journal\, which wrote\, “In a book that deserves the widest attention\, Benedict ‘follows the war home\,’ engaging readers with an insightful story right up until the gut-wrenching conclusion.” Benedict’s 2011 novel\, Sand Queen\, was named a “Best Contemporary War Novel” by Publishers Weekly. A recipient of the Ida B. Wells Award for Bravery in Journalism\, and the James Aronson Award for Social Justice Journalism\, she is also the author of The Lonely Soldier: The Private War of Women Serving in Iraq. Her writings inspired a class action suit against the Pentagon on behalf of those sexually assaulted in the military and the 2012 Oscar-nominated documentary\, The Invisible War. Her nonfiction books on sexual assault have been translated into Czech and Hungarian\, where they were the first books on the subject ever to be published in those countries. Her books have been translated into seven languages.\n\nUnder a Neon Sun\nFor people living in houses and apartments\, with stay-at-home jobs\, the pandemic was inconvenient. For Mia–a student and housekeeper whose budget is so tight she lives in her car–the pandemic destroys the very source of her paltry income. Fortunately\, gutsy and funny Mia is a determined survivor. After weeks of cutting her limited spending even further\, missing meals along the way\, her wealthy employers become desperate for her services again. This time\, she’s determined not to let them take advantage of her as they have in the past. Her newfound confidence gives her new hope as she works to escape the shackles of poverty on her own terms. Sally Rooney meets Elizabeth Strout in this brilliant fiction debut.\n\nKate Gale is the co-founder and managing editor of Red Hen Press\, which has been publishing for more than thirty years in Los Angeles. She is also the author of seven books of poetry including The Goldilocks Zone and The Loneliest Girl\, as well as several librettos including Rio de Sangre with Don Davis—who wrote the music to the Matrix movies. Kate grew up in an intentional community. From those beginnings\, she has put herself through school\, ultimately receiving a Ph.D. in English literature from Claremont Graduate University. Since 1989\, she has taught writing at universities in Los Angeles every semester\, and has also taught publishing at Oxford\, Columbia University\, Harvard University\, and USC. She served as president of PEN USA from 2005–2006. Currently\, Kate teaches publishing and poetry at Chapman University and lives in Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:E.P. Tuazon at The Open Book Canyon Country
DESCRIPTION:Author E.P. Tuazon will be selling the newly published short story collection\, “A Professional Lola.” As described by ZZ Packer: “These tales of Filipinos and Filipino Americans—gay\, bi\, straight\, trans\, lovelorn\, longing\, curious\, grief-stricken and hopeful—are a breath of fresh air. Each story is like a snapshot\, a curio\, a windowpane glimpse into lives caught mid-moment and on the verge. Populated by ex-beauty queens and performances artists\, dancers and nurses\, lawyers\, stick-up artists\, and Bigfoot obsessives\, each story is an engine unto itself. E.P. Tuazon is a bright star who is only getting started.” \nThe event will include a reading\, Q&A\, giveaways\, and raffle!

SUMMARY:Kim Stafford presents As the Sky Begins to Change
DESCRIPTION:As the Sky Begins to Change is a book of poems to wake the world\, lyric anthems for earth and kin. \nIn his third poetry collection from Red Hen Press\, Kim Stafford gathers poems that sing with empathy\, humor\, witness\, and story. Poems in this book have been set to music\, quoted in the New York Times\, posted online in the Academy of American Poets Poem-a-Day series\, gathered in a chapbook sold to benefit Ukrainian refugees\, posted online in response to Supreme Court decisions\, composed for a painter’s gallery opening\, and in other ways engaged with a world at war with itself\, testifying for the human project hungry for kinship\, exiled from bounty\, and otherwise thirsting for the oxygen of healing song. \n“Kim Stafford is a priest and poet\, songwriter and philosopher. Each of these meticulously crafted poems offers the ability to see our interconnected world with a tender\, resilient heart that only grows stronger over time. You will come to the book like that lucky raccoon who finds a plum tree in one of the early poems\, feasting until you are “bandit happy\, lusty gusto\, shaky elbow\, roly poly / on your side helpless with joy.” —James Crews\, author of Kindness Will Save the World \nKim Stafford will be joined by Beth Wood\, local poet and songwriter who will share a few songs and poems inspired by Stafford’s work.

DESCRIPTION:Andrew Lam discusses the fourteen pieces in Stories from the Edge of the Sea\, exploring love and loss\, lust and grief\, longing and heartbreaks through the lives of Vietnamese immigrants and their children in California. \nAt times humorous and ecstatic\, other times poetic and elegiac\, the fourteen pieces in Stories from the Edge of the Sea explore love and loss\, lust and grief\, longing and heartbreaks through the lives of Vietnamese immigrants and their children in California. A younger dancer is haunted by memories of almost dying on a boat when they escaped from Vietnam\, a widow processes her husband’s death through frantic Facebook postings\, a writer enters an old lover’s home and sees a ghost at twilight.

These stories are indelible\, profound\, and unforgettable.” —Lynn Novick\, codirector of The Vietnam War \nTime: 7:00PM – 8:15PM \nLocation: Live on Zoom\, register directly HERE.
