Grabbing an old paper bag and some rusty scissors\, the whole family wades into the muck to collect as much of the muddy\, snail covered watercress as they can. At first\, she’s embarrassed. Why can’t her family get food from the grocery store? But when her mother shares a story of her family’s time in China\, the girl learns to appreciate the fresh food they foraged. Together\, they make a new memory of watercress. Andrea Wang tells a moving autobiographical story of a child of immigrants discovering and connecting with her heritage\, illustrated by award winning author and artist Jason Chin\, working in an entirely new style\, inspired by Chinese painting techniques. An author’s note in the back shares Andrea’s childhood experience with her parents.

SUMMARY:My City of Dreams -- Lisa Gruenberg
DESCRIPTION:Join Lisa Gruenberg (Nonfiction\, June 2007) as she speaks virtually about her memoir\, My City of Dreams\, through Temple Concord in Syracuse\, NY. \n\n\n\nIn this carefully researched and hauntingly written memoir\, Lisa Gruenberg records not only her own life\, but also that of relatives long lost to darkness\, terror\, and murder. In dreamlike sequences she weaves known facts of the lives of those lost into tableaus of imagined family dinners\, conversations\, and leisure activities set in the Vienna landscape. She embodies her aunt Mia as she walks in her shoes\, sees with her eyes\, and speaks with her voice. These flights into the past are presented within the framework of Gruenberg’s own family\, her husband and daughters\, and her father. He escaped from Vienna in 1939 and shared few of his memories with her\, and those only late in life. \n\n\n\nThe trauma and feelings of guilt often described in Holocaust survivors is reflected in this memoir\, also the burden shared by so many of their children and grandchildren. At the same time\, this tale is one of lightness and finding balance. My City of Dreams is an important landmark in 21st century testimony of the Holocaust. Read an excerpt from the book. \n\n\n\n—Sabine Hildebrandt\, author of Anatomy of a Murder: Ethical Transgressions and Anatomical Science during the Third Reich

SUMMARY:Memoirs of a Black Girl - Q & A with The Boston Globe
DESCRIPTION:Join The Boston Globe‘s Black History Month Film Festival in a virtual screening and discussion of Thato Mwosa’s (WSS\, June 2017) first narrative feature\, Memoirs of a Black Girl.  \n\n\n\nMemoirs of a Black Girl is a Coming-of-Age feature drama that explores the lives of diverse urban students in an underserved High School in Roxbury\, MA. The protagonist\, Aisha Johnson\, a young black girl who epitomizes “black girl magic\,” is one of four city-wide finalists for a prestigious college scholarship. In order to win the award\, Aisha must outperform the other candidates. Under normal circumstances\, these things would prove easy for Aisha\, whose academic history has shown nothing but excellence. But these aren’t normal circumstances. Aisha’s world is turned upside down when she reports on the school’s resident “it girls\,” for smoking weed in the bathroom at school. Aisha is targeted for being a “snitch.” She must learn not only to navigate the challenging obstacles but to survive while keeping her eyes on the prize.

SUMMARY:Writing by Ear: Incorporating the Poetic\, with Michael Mercurio
DESCRIPTION:Every writer—no matter how accomplished they may be—feels the pressure of finding the right words to invigorate their manuscripts\, to tell stories that resonate with readers and that linger for a long time. In this half-day workshop\, writers will explore how the origins of words we use and the sounds of them can enhance their writing across any and all genres. Incorporating these poetic sensibilities into your work can help to create meaning you didn’t know was there and to get your work to stand out when it crosses an editor’s desk. This workshop will include a brief history lesson on the peculiarities of the English language\, an opportunity to discuss some tried-and-true strategies for using words as springboards for inspiration\, and plenty of time to write.

SUMMARY:Writing by Ear: Incorporating the Poetic\, with Michael Mercurio
DESCRIPTION:Every writer—no matter how accomplished they may be—feels the pressure of finding the right words to invigorate their manuscripts\, to tell stories that resonate with readers and that linger for a long time. In this half-day workshop\, writers will explore how the origins of words we use and the sounds of them can enhance their writing across any and all genres. Incorporating these poetic sensibilities into your work can help to create meaning you didn’t know was there and to get your work to stand out when it crosses an editor’s desk. This workshop will include a brief history lesson on the peculiarities of the English language\, an opportunity to discuss some tried-and-true strategies for using words as springboards for inspiration\, and plenty of time to write.
