SUMMARY:A U.S. Poet Laureate in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Billy Collins’ new collection\, Whale Day and Other Poems\, brings together more than fifty poems and showcases his deft mixing of the playful and the serious that has made him one of our country’s most celebrated and widely read poets. Here are poems that leap with whimsy and imagination\, yet stay grounded in the familiar\, common things of everyday experience. Collins takes us for a walk with an impossibly ancient dog\, discovers the original way to eat a banana\, meets an Irish spider\, and even invites us to his own funeral. Sensitive to the wonders of being alive as well as the thrill of mortality\, Whale Day builds on and amplifies Collins’ reputation as one of America’s most interesting and durable poets. \nModerated by Campbell McGrath\, Nouns & Verbs: New and Selected Poems. \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:Displaced at Home: An American Tale
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Joan Hilty\, editorial director at Nickelodeon. \nJoin Sophie Yanow (The Contradictions)\, Mike Hawthorne (Happiness Will Follow)\, and Kiku Hughes (Displacement) as they discuss stories that tackle the hard truths. Using the perceptive lenses of memory and time\, they focus on what’s really at the bottom of a lingering sense of displacement in what should be home – that it’s more than the sobering realization of who you are in your environment\, but the even deeper sense of reckoning experienced when you recognize who you are seen as – and how that affects who you become.

SUMMARY:Alicia Zuckerman: The Sally J. Freedman Reality Tour with Judy Blume
DESCRIPTION:Alicia Zuckerman first started doing research for The Sally J. Freedman Reality Tour when she was about 9 years old\, making this her longest-running project. Judy Blume‘s 1977 young adult book\, Starring Sally J. Freedman as Herself\, was Zuckerman’s introduction to Miami Beach\, and one of her very favorite Blume books. When she found herself living in Sally’s neighborhood a few decades later\, she was surprised by the ways in which the area felt familiar. And she wondered – would Judy Blume come take a walk with her through some of Sally’s old haunts? But what Zuckerman didn’t realize was that Sally’s Miami Beach was Judy’s Miami Beach. \n“It is my most autobiographical book\,” Blume told Zuckerman during that walk. “Those two years were the most important two years of my childhood.” \nCome along as the beloved author walks us through her old neighborhood and talks about how her time in Miami Beach shaped not only Sally J. Freedman\, but the beloved and fearless writer Blume would become.

Without a home\, without answers\, and finally without shackles\, Manu investigates the only clue she has about her past\, which leads her to a secret world buried within our own. A world straight out of Argentine folklore\, where the seventh consecutive daughter is born a “bruja\,” or witch\, and the seventh consecutive son is a “lobizón\,” a werewolf. \nSponsored by
