SUMMARY:The King's English Bookshop presents Sara Zarr in Conversation with Corey Ann Haydu
DESCRIPTION:TKE proudly welcomes acclaimed author Sara Zarr (WFYP\, MFA Writing Faculty) for a discussion of and reading from her new middle reader novel\, A Song Called Home. Zarr will be in conversation with fellow YA author\, Corey Ann Haydu. \n\n\n\nThis free\, virtual event will take place on Crowdcast and you must register here to participate. \n\n\n\nAbout the book: \n\n\n\nFrom award-winning author Sara Zarr comes a story of the small moments that show us who we are\, and how family is not just something you’re part of\, but something you make. \n\n\n\nLou and her family don’t have much\, but for Lou it’s enough. Mom. Her sister\, Casey. Their apartment in the city. Her best friend\, Beth. It would be better if Dad could stop drinking and be there for her and Casey\, and if they didn’t have to worry about money all the time. But Lou doesn’t need better—she only needs enough. \n\n\n\nWhat’s enough for Lou\, however\, is not enough for Mom. Steve\, Mom’s boyfriend\, isn’t a bad guy\, he’s just…not what Lou is used to. And now\, he and Mom are getting married\, and that means moving. Packing up life as they’ve known it and storing it in Steve’s garage. Lou will be separated from everything in her small but predictable life\, farther from Dad than ever. \n\n\n\nTheir last night in the city\, Lou receives a mysterious birthday gift: A guitar\, left for her by their front door. There’s nothing saying who left it\, but it must be from Dad. And as she leaves the only place she’s ever known\, she starts to believe that if she can learn how to play it\, maybe she can bring a piece of him\, and of her old life\, home.

SUMMARY:The Long Field: A Memoir of Wales and the Presence of Absence--author talk with Pamela Petro
DESCRIPTION:The Long Field burrows deep into the Welsh countryside to tell how this small country became a big part of an American writer’s life. Petro twines her story around that of Wales by viewing both through the lens of hiraeth\, a Welsh word that’s famously hard to translate\, deriving from an old usage meaning ‘long field’\, but is also the name for the bone-deep longing for something or someone – a home\, culture\, language\, or a younger self. The Long Field braids memoir with the essential hiraeth stories of Wales\, and in doing so creates a radical new vision of place and belonging. \n\n\n\nPamela Petro (Nonfiction\, MFA Writing Faculty) is a writer\, artist\, and educator. She works in both research nonfiction and memoir—often braiding the two together—and as a visual artist works with experimental forms of photography. In addition to the MFA\, she teaches creative writing at Smith College and is the Director of the Dylan Thomas Summer School at the University of Wales\, Trinity St David. Her essays have been published in Lumina\, The Paris Review\, Granta\, Slab\, and Harvard Review Online.

SUMMARY:Kevin Prufer - THE ART OF FICTION and Craig Morgan Teicher - WELCOME TO SONNETVILLE\, NEW JERSEY
DESCRIPTION:In this his eighth collection of poetry (and fifth with Four Way Books)\, Prufer’s (Poetry\, MFA Writing Faculty) career-spanning talent for estranging the familiar—and also for recording the unthinkable with eerie directness—recurs\, enhanced and transformed by the collection’s meta-level attention to the role of fiction in our civic lives. Prufer describes\, often through personae\, a near future\, tracing there the political gambit of Fake News and the role of the imagination in our self-understanding (whether it’s cogent or delusional). Via both satire and direct address (to the point of reader-squeamishness)\, Prufer aims to understand the ugly-casual atmosphere of our often racialized\, pervasive distrust. The Art of Fiction fundamentally understands that fictions are deployed to divide us\, and they work: they get under our skin. Prufer powerfully explores the roles of imagination and art in how we explain ourselves to ourselves. \n\n\n\nLenore Marshall Poetry Prize-winning poet and nationally recognized literary critic Craig Morgan Teicher’s Welcome to Sonnetville\, New Jersey is a poetry collection about entering middle age\, raising a young family\, sustaining a marriage\, and taking care of a severely disabled child. Built around two sequences of sonnets\, and interrupted by two sets of lyric poems\, a set of prose poems\, and a long poem about death\, the book narrates a family’s move to the suburbs and their coming to terms with the ghosts of the past and with hard-to-hold hopes for the future.

SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry at the Library Series: featuring Steven Cramer & Joyce Peseroff
DESCRIPTION:Steven Cramer (Poetry\, MFA Writing Faculty) reads from his sixth collection\, Listen (MadHat Press\, 2020)\,  lucid\, smart portrayals of  the “darker corners” of despair through scores of illuminating juxtapositions.  Experimenting with many verse forms to give shape to the mind’s restless shifts and associations—sometimes absurdly funny\, bracingly honest\, and always sharp in thought and craft—the lyric testimony of Listen reaffirms the indispensable\, if fragile\, consolations of art. He is joined by Joyce Peseroff reading from her sixth collection\, Petition (Carnegie Mellon University Press\, 2020).
