SUMMARY:A Sixteen Rivers Press Launch Celebration with Poets Erin Rodoni and Gillian Wegener
DESCRIPTION:Reading from new collections\, Body\, in Good Light and This Sweet Haphazard\, respectively.\n\n\n\nAbout Erin Rodoni’s Body\, in Good Light: \nThroughout this debut collection\, Rodoni distills experience for its essence\, rendered in language that is fierce\, tender\, penetrating in its precision\, and astonishing in its turns of phrase. Whether describing “turncoat cells” of cancer\, the half-smile scar of a  caesarian\, or the alien landscape of childhood seared by wildfire\, Rodoni’s poems remind us how tenuous our lives are\, how each moment arrives as inescapably painful and miraculous as birth.

SUMMARY:Edie Meidav discussing Kingdom of the Young
DESCRIPTION:Edie Meidav in Conversation with Larry Bensky discussing Meidav’s story collection\, Kingdom of the Young. \n\n\n\n\n“Ambitious\, original\, deliciously philosophical. Kingdom of the Young invites comparison to the cronicas of Clarice Lispector and the fabulas of Italo Calvino.”–Carolyn Cooke\, author of Daughters of the Revolution \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe dynamic characters in Kingdom of the Young are searching: for adventure\, work\, love\, absolution\, better chances elsewhere. In a symphonic stream of consciousness\, a fanatical child army loses faith in its commander as he ages unforgivably into his thirties. A woman possessed with wanderlust and a small inheritance seeks love among the cave-dwelling Roma in Granada. Traumatized war veterans run local rackets; smarmy bureaucrats rise through the ranks of repressive regimes; civilians attempt to escape the stranglehold of life under dictatorships. From the honeycombed caves outside the Alhambra to the streets of Havana\, from hospital wards to quinceanera parties\, these stories–along with the collection’s illuminating nonfiction coda–testify to Meidav’s vast imaginative range. \nEdie Meidav is the author of three novels–The Far Field\, Crawl Space\, and Lola\, California. Her honors include a Lannan Literary Award\, the Kafka Award for Best Novel by an American Woman\, the Bard Fiction Prize\, a Whiting Award\, and a Howard Fellowship. She teaches at the UMass MFA program and lives in Amherst. \nLarry Bensky is a Berkeley journalist\, radio host\, political activist\, educator\, and Proust scholar

DESCRIPTION:Joan Frank reads from her new novel\, All the News I Need\, winner of the Juniper Prize for Fiction admiistered by UMass Press. \n\n\n\n\n“A deep dive into the heart of friendship\, of memory and regret\, of aging and loss… redemptive and wholly satisfying surprises…Joan Frank has gifted us with two unforgettable characters in a novel filled to bursting with hard truths and shimmering beauty.”—Bob Wake\, Cambridge Review \n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, April 19\, 2017 – 7:30pm\n\n\n\n\n\nA story of love and sex and friendship\, of art and travel—and of those small changes\, within our reach\, that may help us save ourselves—somewhere toward the end. \n“This wholly original novel asks and answers the most urgent of all questions: how are we to live? In precise\, pointillist prose\, Joan Frank humbly delivers an unforgettable and unconventional love story with characters who both define and defy the rules of aging.

A reviewer of literary fiction for the San Francisco Chronicle\, she lives in Northern California.

SUMMARY:Jacqueline Winspear  reads from her latest Maisie Dobbs adventure\, In This Grave Hour.
DESCRIPTION:Jacqueline Winspear reads from her latest Maisie Dobbs adventure\, In This Grave Hour. \n\n\n\n\n“A female investigator every bit as brainy and battle-hardened as Lisbeth Salander.”–Maureen Corrigan\, NPR’s Fresh Air \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday September 3rd 1939. At the moment Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain broadcasts to the nation Britain’s declaration of war with Germany\, a senior Secret Service agent breaks into Maisie Dobbs’ flat to await her return. Dr. Francesca Thomas has an urgent assignment for Maisie: to find the killer of a man who escaped occupied Belgium as a boy\, some twenty-three years earlier during the Great War. \nIn a London shadowed by barrage balloons\, bomb shelters and the threat of invasion\, within days another former Belgian refugee is found murdered. And as Maisie delves deeper into the killings of the dispossessed from the “last war\,” a new kind of refugee — an evacuee from London — appears in Maisie’s life. The little girl billeted at Maisie’s home in Kent does not\, or cannot\, speak\, and the authorities do not know who the child belongs to or who might have put her on the “Operation Pied Piper” evacuee train. They know only that her name is Anna. \nAs Maisie’s search for the killer escalates\, the country braces for what is to come. Britain is approaching its gravest hour — and Maisie could be nearing a crossroads of her own. \nJacqueline Winspear is the author of the bestselling Maisie Dobbs series\, which includes Journey to Munich\, A Dangerous Place\, Leaving Everything Most Loved\, Elegy for Eddie\, and eight other novels. Her standalone novel\, The Care and Management of Lies\, was also a bestseller and a Dayton Literary Peace Prize finalist. Originally from the United Kingdom\, she now lives in California.
