SUMMARY:Book Launch with Andrea Wang in Convo w/ Debbi Michiko Florence
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the launch of THE MANY MEANINGS OF MEILAN with award-winning author Andrea Wang (WFYP\, June 2011)\, in conversation with Debbi Michiko Florence who is celebrating the release of JUST BE COOL\, JENNA SAKAI. Copies of Debbi’s books are not able to be personalized at this time. Only Andrea’s MG novel will offer personalization. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAndrea Wang is the award-winning author of the picture books The Nian Monster\, Magic Ramen\, and Watercress. The Many Meanings of Meilan is her debut middle-grade novel. The first character in Andrea’s Chinese name is an archaic one that means fragrant\, but her parents’ friends all thought it was the character for jade\, which sounds exactly the same. That sparked her lifelong interest in names and identity. She’d much rather be a rock than smelly. Andrea likes to write about family\, food\, and culture. She spent her childhood in Ohio and Boston and now lives in Colorado with her family. \n\n\n\nDebbi Michiko Florence is the author of middle grade novels Just Be Cool\, Jenna Sakai\, which received a starred review from Kirkus\, Keep It Together\, Keiko Carter\, a New England Book Award finalist; and the Jasmine Toguchi chapter books. A third-generation Japanese American and native Californian\, Debbi lives in Connecticut with her husband\, rescue dog\, rabbit\, and duck. Visit her online at debbimichikoflorence.com.

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.
