SUMMARY:On the Moors of Omaha: Essays with Trebbe Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Trebble Johnson neither hides from pain nor romanticizes joy. In the distinctive voice for which she is known\, she explores how the true value of a sacred site is not always where we think it is\, how a motorcycle ride upended a fear of desire\, how it’s possible to make friends with a clear-cut forest\, and other pieces that bring startling new perspectives to things we often take for granted. These sixteen essays not only chart one woman’s journey through a passionate life\, they inspire all of us to open up to the marvels that are waiting to reveal themselves. \nJoin Trebbe Johnson for an author reading of On the Moors of Omaha: Essays at Buffalo Street Books!

SUMMARY:BOOK SIGNING WITH DR. CHRIS ELLIS - RESILIENT CITIZENS: THE PEOPLE\, PERILS\, AND POLITICS OF MODERN PREPAREDNESS
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Buffalo Street Books with Dr. Chris Ellis for a discussion and signing of RESILIENT CITIZENS \nAbout the book: Resilience is a mindset. From war zones to wildfires\, pandemics to power outages\, the threats we face today seem bigger\, scarier\, and more unrelenting than ever before. Why\, then\, does society take a critical view of those who prepare for the worst while hoping for the best? Why do so many people write them off as crazy\, conspiracy-minded “doomsday preppers”?\nIn Resilient Citizens\, Army officer and disaster expert Dr. Chris Ellis challenges the myths\, dismisses the fearmongering\, and takes a much-needed\, long-overdue scholarly look not just at prepper culture in America\, but our overall social\, physical\, intellectual\, emotional\, and spiritual health. This isn’t another doomsday prepper guide or government-endorsed emergency brochure. It’s a deep dive into the people\, perils\, and politics of preparedness—from ranchers in the Rockies to policymakers globally—and a call to action for those who refuse to outsource their safety to luck or bureaucracy. \nAbout the author: Dr. Chris Ellis is a career Army officer\, disaster readiness expert\, and lifelong student of how people\, communities\, and nations prepare for the worst. With over twenty-six years of military service—including time in combat zones and collaborative work across five continents—Chris has seen firsthand what resilience looks like under pressure.\nChris holds a Ph.D. in Government from Cornell University\, along with four other advanced degrees covering public policy\, military strategy\, and international security. His work blends academic insight with boots-on-the-ground experience\, tackling big-picture threats like civil unrest\, nuclear catastrophe\, economic collapse\, and even the end of the world.

SUMMARY:ALMANAC: A MURMURATION - Christine Gelineau
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Buffalo Street Books with local author Christine Gelineau for observations on the intersections between real life\, stories\, and the natural world in this contemplative memoir as she reads from her new book\, ALMANAC: A Murmuration \nAbout the Author: Christine Gelineau is past Associate Director of the Creative Writing Program at Binghamton University and teaches creative nonfiction and poetry at the Maslow Family Graduate Program in Creative Writing at Wilkes University\, a program she helped to found. She is the prize-winning author of three books of poetry: Crave\, Appetite for the Divine\, and Remorseless Loyalty; and editor\, with Jack B. Bedell\, of the anthology French Connections: A Gathering of Franco-American Poets. \nAlmanac: A Murmuration is a memoir that is stitched through with a thread of autobiography and by a thread about the nature of language and narrative: the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves\, the stories we fashion about how we matter as a nation\, and stories we weave about our relationships with other-than-human animals and with the endangered natural world we are a part of.

SUMMARY:ECODEVIANCE: A GENERATIVE WRITING CLASS
DESCRIPTION:With nicole v. basta. ECODEVIANCE is a term borrowed from the poet CA Conrad. Here\, we will use the idea (“subversive syllabus for a queer ecopoetics”) to practice presence with our words and with the earth outside the typical constraints of our society and our minds. Through extensive multi-step prompts\, you will be asked to burrow forward without turning back (i.e. keep your pen moving in a way that allows your mind to slip out of its linear grip). This is a generative creative writing class where we will use the cycles of nature and the vastness of time (starting back in pre-human times) to explore unconventional ways to approach a page and emerge more potent writers. We will reject time and question what it means to be in touch with “nature” in a world constantly distancing itself/ exploiting nature. We will also borrow inspiration from queer revolutionaries and resistors. This class is meant for all types of creatives\, all people.
