DESCRIPTION:Multiple Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter Lenny Kravitz reflects on the first 25 years of his life in his new autobiography\, Let Love Rule\, the timeline of which culminates in the release of his first studio album\, which shares the book’s title. \nKravitz muses over duality – he grew up the son of Black Caribbean actress Roxie Roker\, a Christian\, and Sy Kravitz\, a successful TV producer who was white and Jewish – and follows his discovery of and immersion in music\, his life-changing relationship with ex-wife Lisa Bonet and the joy of being a father (their daughter is actress Zoë Kravitz)\, and his unwavering stance on making his music\, his way\, despite the many opportunities he had to sign with other labels before finding his first home with Virgin records. Along the way he shares personal revelations\, traumatic moments\, and drops a who’s who list of bold-faced music and movie industry names\, making this glimpse into the life and mind of a rock star a scenic ride. He’s speaking with Kiesha Garrison\, director of communications and culture programs at Microsoft.

SUMMARY:In Conversation: On Golden State
DESCRIPTION:This dystopian noir thriller – the latest novel from New York Times bestselling author Ben H. Winters – is set in the Golden State\, a sovereign nation established where California once stood\, and a place where like-minded Americans retreated after the erosion of truth and the spread of lies made public life and governance impossible outside its borders.

Joining Winters to discuss the book is Mitzi Rapkin\, host of the Lit Hub podcast “First Draft: A Dialogue on Writing.”

SUMMARY:An Evening With Terry McMillan & Glory Edim
DESCRIPTION:Live program + Q&A! Starts @ 8:30 p.m. EST. \nIn It’s Not All Downhill From Here\, Terry McMillan’s 10th consecutive New York Times bestselling work of fiction\, Loretha Curry is on the eve of her 68th birthday and has much to be happy about: a booming beauty-supply empire\, lifelong friends\, and a husband who still surprises her – and she’s determined to prove anyone with an outdated view of aging\, wrong. But when her world abruptly goes sideways\, Loretta must reimagine\, and realize\, a brand-new life. \nHailed by Publishers Weekly as “Lively and perceptive” and by the San Francisco Chronicle as “a funny and honest portrait of a woman\, late in life\, finding second chances\,” McMillan’s latest is a paean to the resilience and pragmatism of women\, something she discusses with conversation partner Glory Edim\, founder of the Well-Read Black Girl digital platform and editor of the printed anthology of the same name. \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:Storytime: The Worst Read-Aloud Books Ever
DESCRIPTION:Grades PreK – 3 \nIntroduced by Cierra Bragan\, Miami Mom Collective. \nLet’s get real – the English language is bizarre. A might be for apple\, but it’s also for aisle and aeons. Why does the word “gnat” start with a G but the word “knot” doesn’t start with an N? It doesn’t always make sense in Raj Haldar’s P is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Book Ever\, but don’t let these rule-breaking silent letters defeat you! \nYou can’t believe everything you hear. A single word can have many different meanings. And sometimes two words that sound alike can be spelled completely differently. In No Reading Allowed: The Worst Read-Aloud Book Ever\, Haldar takes a fresh look at the English language for children and their parents to laugh together. Ptolemy the pterodactyl is back to show us all how absurd and fun language can be when homophones\, homonyms\, and tricky punctuation are at play. \n  \nSponsored by:\n \nThe Children’s Trust Family Resource Guide | Romero Britto Coloring Book \nBook Club Flyer – English | Book Club Flyer – Spanish | Book Club Flyer – Creole

SUMMARY:2019 National Poetry Series Winners
DESCRIPTION:Special introduction by Daniel Halpern\, founder of HarperCollins imprint Ecco and the National Poetry Series. \nThe National Poetry Series was established in 1978 to recognize and promote excellence in contemporary poetry by ensuring the publication of five books of poetry annually through participating publishers. In addition\, the National Poetry Series has partnered with Miami Book Fair to award the Paz Prize in Poetry\, which ensures bilingual publication for a book of poems written in Spanish. This conversation features Michael Torres on An Incomplete List of Names: Poems\, in conversation with the judge who selected his manuscript\, Raquel Salas Rivera\, Lo terciario/The Tertiary. \nWho do we belong to? This is the question Torres ponders as he explores the roles that names\, hometown\, language\, and others’ perceptions each play on our understanding of ourselves in An Incomplete List of Names: Poems. More than a boyhood ballad or a coming-of-age story\, this collection illuminates the artist’s struggle to make sense of the disparate identities others have forced upon him. \nSponsored by:

Opening with a blessing from Pulitzer Prize-winner N. Scott Momaday\, the book contains powerful introductions from contributing editors who represent the five geographically organized sections. Each begins with a poem from traditional oral literatures and closes with emerging poets\, ranging from Eleazar\, a 17th-century Native student at Harvard\, to Jake Skeets\, a young Diné poet born in 1991\, and including renowned writers such as Luci Tapahonso\, Natalie Diaz\, Layli Long Soldier\, and Ray Young Bear. When the Light of the World Was Subdued\, Our Songs Came Through offers the extraordinary sweep of Native literature\, without which no study of American poetry is complete. \nModerated by Campbell McGrath\, Nouns & Verbs: New and Selected Poems. \nSponsored by
