SUMMARY:The Octogenarian Tour - Ketu Oladuwa
DESCRIPTION:The OctoGenarian Tour: Celebrating Poetry that Liberates Community-Building Dialogue.  \nJoin us for a conversation with Dr. Nia Nunn\, Lushima Lumumba\, and Ketu Oladuwa. \nFrom Ketu Oladuwa: \n“Join the celebration of 80 cycles around the sun by getting back to our human rootz with poetry\, music\, and engagement with artists and their communities. \nPoetry is more than words on a page; it’s a catalyst for transformation\, a bridge between personal healing and collective liberation. I’m Omowalé-Kétu Oladuwa\, a Poet\, cultural worker\, and lifelong learner. My OctoGenarian Tour celebrates Connection\, employing poetry\, storytelling\, and communal gathering.  \nEmerging from a journey of survival\, resistance\, and self-discovery—including five years on death row for a murder I did not commit—I found liberation through poetry in death’s house. My work testifies to the resilience of the hueman spirit\, and the power of art to heal and lift consciousness to face our inhibiting traumas\, and confront the institutions that threaten to erase us.”

SUMMARY:Benjamin Garcia & Matthew Morris – A Reading and Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Buffalo Street Books is excited to host Benjamin Garcia and Matthew Morris for a reading from their books Thrown in the Throat and The Tilling.  \nAbout the Books: \nWith language that arrives equal parts regal and raucous\, Thrown in the Throat  shines brilliant with sweat and an iridescent voice. “Sometimes even a diamond was once alive” writes Garcia in a collection that National Poetry Series judge Kazim Ali says “has deadly superpowers.” And indeed these poems arrive to our hands through touch-me-nots and the slight cruelty of mothers\, through closets both real and metaphorical. These are poems complex\, unabashed\, and needed as survival. Garcia’s debut is nothing less than exactly the ode our history and present and our future call for: brash and unmistakably alive. \n“The tragic mulatto\,” wrote the African American poet Sterling Allen Brown in a 1933 meditation on stereotype\, “is a victim of a divided inheritance”: pulled this way and that\, belonging nowhere. In 10 lyric essays shifting keys from Virginia\, where he grew up\, to Tucson\, his first home as a young man\, Matthew Morris sounds the depths of that embodied cliché: its fracturing simplifications\, its (partial\, mixed) truths. The light-skinned son of an African American father and a white mother\, he asks after the skin-housed present by way of the rooted past\, considering his late grandmother\, a painter whose grandparents left Due West\, South Carolina for Evanston\, Illinois in the decades before her birth; the twice-made film Imitation of Life\, which in its first iteration starred the light-skinned actor Fredi Washington; and the quiet gradations of color in an untitled Rothko print. Ever-searching\, The Tilling is an excavation of identity and a reflection on the beginnings of life and love—a (sometimes soft\, others chippy) biracial coming of age. The Tilling was chosen for the Seneca Review Books’ 2024 Deborah Tall Lyric Essay Book Prize. \nAbout the Authors: \nBenjamin Garcia’s first collection of poems\, Thrown in the Throat\, was selected for the 2019 National Poetry Series by Kazim Ali. He is a 2019 Lambda Literary Fellow\, was the 2017 Latinx Scholar at the Frost Place\, and was a 2018 CantoMundo Fellow at the Palm Beach Poetry Festival. His work has recently appeared or is forthcoming in American Poetry Review\, Best New Poets 2018\, Crazyhorse\, Kenyon Review\, The Missouri Review\, and New England Review. Garcia received his MFA from Cornell University and currently works as a sexual health and harm reduction educator in the Finger Lakes region of New York. \nSon of an African American father and a white mother\, Matthew Morris writes through questions of race\, identity\, family history\, and love. His nonfiction has been published in Seneca Review\, Fourth Genre via the Steinberg Memorial Essay Prize\, and Mid-American Review through the AWP Intro Journals Project\, and he has received a scholarship from the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference. His essay “Tidal Wave\,” published in apt\, was cited as “notable” in Best American Essays 2020. He is a graduate of the University of Arizona MFA program and is pursuing a PhD in English at the University of Missouri –Columbia.

SUMMARY:Let's Read & Discuss Climate @ BSB
DESCRIPTION:Talk with others in our community about climate change\, seen through contemporary fiction and non-fiction books. \nAbout the Books:  \nThe Water Knife\, a futuristic thriller by Paolo Bacigalupi about criminality in water distribution in a hot and dry Southwest meets A Thirsty Land by Seamus Mc- Graw\, a true account of conflicts over water rights in Texas that pit communities against each other. \nIn Water Wars\, Shiva uses her remarkable knowledge of science and society to outline the emergence of corporate culture and the historical erosion of communal water rights. Using the international water trade and industrial activities such as damming\, mining\, and aquafarming as her lens\, Shiva exposes the destruction of the earth and the disenfranchisement of the world’s poor as they are stripped of rights to a precious common good.

SUMMARY:Adam Gellings & Nathan Lipps - Poetry Reading & Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Poets Adam Gellings and Nathan Lipps will join us for a reading\, followed by a conversation with Suzanne Richardson. \nAdam J. Gellings is a poet & instructor from Columbus\, Ohio. He received his MFA from Ashland University & his PhD from the State University of New York at Binghamton\, where he was the recipient of a fellowship from the Marion Clayton Link Endowment. His poems have appeared in numerous journals & magazines including the Academy of American Poets’ Poem-a-Day\, Copper Nickel\, Salamander\, Southern Humanities Review\, Willow Springs & elsewhere. His debut poetry collection Little Palace was released in fall 2022 by Stephen F. Austin State University Press. \nIn his debut poetry collection Little Palace\, Adam Gellings gives readers a perfect example of that often-repeated but rarely achieved instruction: “show\, don’t tell.” These sophisticated poems wander through the busy streets of Paris\, past quiet courtyards full of flowers\, into a kitchen that smells of fresh-baked bread. This metropolitan yet nostalgic collection brings the reader into new places and experiences while reminding them of familiar truths about human connection\, the fugitive feeling of travel\, and the universality of art. \nNathan Lipps is the author of Built Around the Fire and the chapbook the body as passage. Born and raised along the rural coast of western Michigan\, he currently lives in Ohio and works as an Assistant Professor at Central State University. His work has been published in the Best New Poets\, Colorado Review\, Cleaver\, EcoTheo Review\, North American Review\, TYPO\, and elsewhere. Nathan is the recipient of a Peter Taylor Fellowship\, an Excellence award in Research (Binghamton University)\, and a Poetry Fellowship (WSU) and was a Suzzanne Wilson Artist-in-Resident (GAAC). \nHis book Built Around the Fire delves into notions of place\, the enveloping wonder and plight of our environment\, and the complexities of rural culture: an examination of hierarchies\, conservatism\, generational religion\, and the perpetuation of patriarchal norms. Such concepts are juxtaposed with a personal narrative: the rise and failure of a relationship\, the deafening silence that arrives within any new vacancy\, and the eventual need to learn to adapt in order to grow. These two themes—the notion of a midwestern place and its ideologies\, and the notion of a failed relationship— work in tandem to speak for a shared struggle. The small family farm is dying out and the personal relationship dies right alongside it. What remains is a chance at rebirth\, change\, a looking outward\, finally\, as much as a looking inward. Though there is brokenness\, and pain\, there is also hope.

SUMMARY:"Rooms: The Works and Life of JJ Manford" with Gordon Sander and JJ Manford
DESCRIPTION:Join author and biographer Gordon Sander and artist JJ Manford for a conversation at Buffalo Street Books. \nAbout the Book: When Gordon Sander ’72\, BA ’73\, began an artist residency at Risley Residential College in 2002\, he was returning to familiar ground. The author\, photographer\, and journalist had come back to the Hill twice before to work on books and had a history of hiring Risleyites as assistants. But this time would be different. Not only would Sander end up doubling his planned one-year stay\, he’d also meet a fine arts major who’d go on to become a lifelong friend and collaborator. \nThat student was Jonathan “JJ” Manford ’06—the subject of Sander’s ninth book\, titled Rooms\, to be published by a small Latvian art press in January 2024. “Back at Cornell I envisioned writing a book about JJ at some point\,” admits Sander\, whose byline has appeared in the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, and numerous other publications. “The idea was like one of those bubbles at the bottom of a glass of soda.” Now a painter whose work has been mentioned in the New Yorker\, Manford was named by the popular online art marketplace Artsy as one of its most sought-after “emerging” artists in 2022. \nAbout the Artist: JJ Manford’s remarkable work and exquisite style\, which has been described as “psychedelic realism\,” has been featured in The New Yorker\, Art Net and numerous other publications. His “lush interiors\,” to paraphrase The New Yorker\, hang in various museums\, including ICA Miami and Everson Museum of Art of Syracuse\, as well as many distinguished private collections.

SUMMARY:"Feminism Is Alive and Well in the Novel" Jennifer Savran Kelly in conversation with Aggeliki Pelekidis and Aida Zilelian
DESCRIPTION:About the Event: Across genres\, styles\, and forms\, feminism is alive and well in contemporary literature. Aggeliki Pelekidis’s Unlucky Mel (Cornell University Press\, 2024) is a humorous and moving feminist campus novel and Aida Zilelian’s All the Ways We Lied (Keylight Books\, 2024) is a heartfelt family saga focused on four sisters. Please join us for a lively reading and conversation about their stories and publishing journeys. Moderated by Jennifer Savran Kelly\, author of Endpapers. \nAbout the Books: \nAll the Ways We Lied – Set in Queens\, New York\, meet the Manoukians—a dysfunctional Armenian family and the fraying rope that binds them. While a father deteriorates from terminal illness\, three sisters contend with one another\, their self-destructive pasts\, and their indomitable mother as they face the loss of the one person holding their unstable family together. Kohar\, the oldest sister\, is happily married\, yet grapples with fertility issues and\, in turn\, her own self-worth. Lucine\, the middle child\, is trapped in a loveless marriage and haunted by memories of her estranged father. Azad\, the beloved youngest child\, is burdened by an inescapable cycle of failed relationships. By turns heartfelt and heart wrenching\, All the Ways We Lied introduces a cast of tragically flawed but lovable characters on the brink of unraveling. With humor and compassion\, this spellbinding tale explores the fraught and contradictory landscape of sisterhood\, introducing four unforgettable women who have nothing in common\, and are bound by blood and history. \nUnlucky Mel: A Novel –  PhD candidate Melody Hollings is in the final year of her creative writing program in upstate New York. Her dream life of landing the perfect academic job somewhere far away from her small hometown and publishing her first novel is so close to becoming a reality. But first she has to finish writing that book. Oh\, and graduate. To do both\, she needs her good friend Ben to reciprocate all the help she’s given him over the years on his writing. But when Mel’s widowed father starts acting strangely\, she is thrown. After chalking it up to a dramatic attempt to manipulate her into moving back in with him\, she discovers that he really is suffering from dementia. Now she’ll need to stay local to care for him. Her dream is dying and her best option is to win a postgraduation fellowship through her alma mater. Despite all the upheaval in Mel’s life\, rather than helping her\, Ben turns on her in a shocking betrayal. For the first time\, Mel has a nemesis! The stress of caring for her father\, teaching too many students\, and living with so much uncertainty over her future escalates Mel’s desire for retribution–until one night\, she discovers an opportunity to ruin Ben’s reputation. Unlucky Mel is a smart\, funny debut in which Pelekidis explores the lengths we’re willing to go to in order to even the score and the ways in which women are often expected to sacrifice their professional ambitions for the men in their lives.

SUMMARY:"A Grand Love: Stories for Grandparents of Transgender Grandchildren" with Janna Barkin
DESCRIPTION:About the Event: Join us to celebrate the release of Janna Barkin’s new book A Grand Love: Stories for Grandparents of Transgender Grandchildren. \nAbout the Book: A Grand Love is a book of personal stories and observations from the perspectives of the author\, grandparents of transgender grandchildren\, and transgender people themselves. Transgender people have never been more visible in our society than right now. There is evidence that transgender and gender diverse people benefit greatly when they have the support\, love\, and acceptance of their parents and families. Grandparents have an opportunity to play a crucial role in family dynamics and contribute to positive outcomes for their loved ones. Grandparents who become aware that their grandchild’s gender identity doesn’t match the sex assigned to them at birth can feel confused and alone. While the field of knowledge in this area is growing at a very fast pace\, many therapists\, counsellors\, teachers\, and school administrators remain unskilled and uninformed when it comes to working with transgender or gender diverse children and their parents\, grandparents\, and other family members. A Grand Love provides consistently positive and uplifting educational guidance. The book includes a glossary of terms\, educational chapters about gender identity and what it means to be transgender\, information on the latest research on gender\, and lists of non-profits and other organizations that support transgender youth and families. Part educational\, part storytelling\, and chock-full of inspiration\, A Grand Love: Stories for Grandparents of Transgender Grandchildren will inform and uplift anyone who reads it.

SUMMARY:"World Headquarters" Reading and Signing
DESCRIPTION:About the Event: Peter Fortunato will read from and sign copies of his new poetry collection World Headquarters. Peter Fortunato has published several other poetry collections\, the novel\, Carnevale (from Fomite Press) and a memoir\, Desert Wind: My Life in Qatar. \nAbout the Book: The three sections of World Headquarters resonate with and reinforce the interconnectedness among the local and universal\, the personal and political\, the human and non-human worlds. Poems comprising Part II\, ad-Dawha\, were begun while Peter Fortunato lived in Doha\, the capital of Qatar. During the rapid modernization of that desert emirate\, Fortunato taught four years at the newly opened Weill Cornell Medicine. But where exactly is the world’s headquarters—these poems dance across the horizons of the mind\, unlimited in its essence\, particular in its myriad expressions.
