SUMMARY:Three Debut Poets on Family\, Love\, and Race
DESCRIPTION:Tommye Blount’s Fantasia for the Man in Blue orchestrates a chorus of distinct\, unforgettable voices that speak to the experience of the black\, queer body as a site of desire and violence. The speaker in Ricardo Alberto Maldonado’s The Life Assignment sorts through relationships\, trying to discern what was healthy from what was exploitative\, and asks: When tenderness is in short supply\, how can one protect oneself? How can one find home? In Horsepower: Poems\, Joy Priest explores the memories of her speaker – a mixed-race child being raised by her white supremacist grandfather in the shadow of Churchill Downs\, Kentucky’s world-famous horseracing track – before arriving in a state of self-awareness to confront the personal and political landscape of a harshly segregated Louisville. \nModerated by John King\, founder of The Drunken Odyssey: A Podcast About the Writing Life. \nSponsored by: \n \nIn partnership with:

SUMMARY:Enter At Your Own Risk: Inside a Cartoonist's Mind

SUMMARY:Virtual Pachanga: The YA Edition
DESCRIPTION:Grades 9 – 12 \nIn Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo\, 16-year-old Camino Rios lives for the summer – especially the first week of June – when her father visits her in the Dominican Republic. But this time\, on the day when his plane is supposed to land\, Camino arrives at the airport to see crowds of crying people. Roughly 1\,500 miles away in New York City\, Yahaira Rios is called to the principal’s office\, where she meets her “Ms. Universe-perfect” mother with her hair in rollers waiting to tell her that her father\, her hero\, has died in a plane crash\, and her entire world changes. Separated by distance – and Papi’s secrets – the two girls are forced to face a new reality\, one in which their worlds collide\, and their lives are forever altered. \nIsmée Williams’ This Train is Being Held is about Alex\, a baseball player. A great one. His papi is pushing him to go pro\, but Alex maybe wants to be a poet. Not that Papi would understand or allow that. Isa is a dancer. She’d love to go pro\, if only her Havana-born mom weren’t dead set against it\, just like she’s dead set against her daughter falling for a Latino. And Isa’s privileged private-school life – with her dad losing his job and her older brother struggling with mental illness – is falling apart. Not that she’d ever tell that to Alex. Fate\, and the New York City subway\, bring Alex and Isa together. Is it enough to keep them together when they need each other most? \nFREE bonus download: Official Spotify playlist for This Train is Being Held \nSponsored by \n \n

SUMMARY:Storytime: The Alphabet’s Alphabet
DESCRIPTION:Grades PreK – 2 \nHere’s a totally twisted take on the alphabet that invites readers to look at it in a whole new way: An A is an H that just won’t stand up right\, a B is a D with its belt on too tight\, and a Z is an L in a tug-of-war fight! Twenty-six letters\, unique from each other – and yet\, every letter looks just like one another! Kind of like … one big family. The Alphabet’s Alphabet is a mind-bending riddle of delightful doppelgängers and surprising disguises that reveal we’re more alike than we may think. You’ll never look at the alphabet the same way again! \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:Carolyn Forché: A Reading From In the Lateness of the World: Poems
DESCRIPTION:Carolyn Forché’s first new collection in 17 years\, In the Lateness of the World: Poems is a tenebrous book of crossings\, of migrations across oceans and borders but also between the present and the past\, life and death. The poems call to the reader from the end of the world where they are sifting through the aftermath of history. Forché envisions a place where “you could see everything at once … every moment you have lived or place you have been.” The world here seems to be steadily vanishing\, but in the moments before the uncertain end\, an illumination arrives and “there is nothing that cannot be seen.” In the Lateness of the World: Poems is a revelation from one of the finest poets writing today. \nSponsored by:
