SUMMARY:Reaching Out / Reaching In: How to Send Hope to Imprisoned Writers
DESCRIPTION:Every day at the Durland Alternatives Library\, we see poetry’s power to bridge divides and foster radical hope\, and we want to share that with you! Prisoner Express – a project of the library – provides opportunities for incarcerated people of all genders to express themselves creatively and receive meaningful feedback. Over 400 incarcerated people participate in our poetry program – they send us their writing in hopes of being published in our semi-annual poetry anthology\, and look forward to receiving a friendly response from someone outside of the prison system. In this workshop\, library staff will read a few selected poems aloud\, then support participants as they write a response to someone whose work resonates. We have seen time and again how much this program benefits not only the incarcerated writers\, but the volunteers themselves. We hope you’ll join us!

SUMMARY:The Raging Erie: Life and Labor Along the Erie Canal
DESCRIPTION:Join professors Mark Ferrara and Roger Hecht for a conversation on the stories of the ordinary people who lived\, worked\, and died along the banks of the Erie Canal\, emphasizing the forgotten role of the poor and working class in this epochal transformation. \nAbout the Book \nThe completion of the Erie Canal in 1825 was a monumental achievement. Linking the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean\, it transformed New York City into a hub of international trade\, drove the rise of industrial cities in once sparsely populated areas\, and accelerated the westward expansion of the United States. Yet few of the laborers who toiled along the canal shared in the prosperity it brought. \nMark S. Ferrara tells the stories of the ordinary people who lived\, worked\, and died along the banks of the canal\, emphasizing the forgotten role of the poor and working class in this epochal transformation. The Raging Erie chronicles the fates of the Native Americans whose land was appropriated for the canal\, the European immigrants who bored its route through the wilderness\, and the orphan children who drove draft animals that pulled boats around the clock. Ferrara also shows how the canal served as a conduit for the movement of new ideas and religions\, a corridor for enslaved people seeking freedom via the Underground Railroad\, and a spur for social reform movements that emerged in response to the poverty and suffering along its path. \nBrimming with vivid characters drawn from the underbelly of antebellum life\, The Raging Erie explores the social dislocation and untold hardships at the heart of a major engineering feat\, shedding light on the lives of the canallers who toiled on behalf of American expansion. \nAbout the Author \nMark S. Ferrara is professor of English at the State University of New York. His recent books include American Community: Radical Experiments in Intentional Living (2020) and Living the Food Allergic Life (2023).

SUMMARY:Leaves Falling Backwards
DESCRIPTION:About the Book \nOn December 28\, 2017 I was having a holiday drink with my partner and her friend. Around 6pm\, I got up\, went into the bathroom\, and when I came out I told them “something’s not right” pointing to my upper chest. Shortly thereafter\, I fell back in my chair. My eyes were rolling and I lost consciousness. My partner called 911. \nI had a massive heart attack at age 64. \nMy family was told that I probably would not survive this event. I was in the hospital for over two weeks. I was mentally out of it much of that time. When I went home\, I was in a fog for several months: felt like people were coming at me and the walls were closing in. Was paranoid\, and my memory had vanished. It took many\, many months for me to begin to feel normal. \nAbout the Author \nTish Pearlman is a poet\, writer\, broadcast journalist and community and political activist originally from Manhattan Beach\, California.
