My AccountToday’s Featured Book Event:
One Square Inch of Silence (Powells City of Books, @7:30pm): Emmy Award-winning acoustic ecologist Gordon Hempton pens a beautifully written call to arms against the agents of manmade noise in One Square Inch of Silence (Free Press), an eloquent defense of natural quiet that comes packaged with the author’s astounding recordings of nature.
Other Book Event’s Today:
Sage Cohen and Tom Maddox Reading (Barnes and Noble Lloyd Center, @7:00pm): An ongoing poetry reading series curated by Sage Cohen, author of the new book Writing the Life Poetic.
Candy Tan: Beyond Heaving Bosoms (Powells Books at Cedar Hills Crossing, @7:00pm): From the creators of the beloved blog Smart Bitches, Trashy Books comes a guide to the most popular — and maligned — fiction genre. Beyond Heaving Bosoms (Fireside) is Candy Tan and Sarah Wendell’s hilariously sarcastic but always affectionate study of romance novels, perfect for hardcore fans and dabblers alike.
Mountain Writers Third Wednesdays Reading Series (The Press Club, @7:30pm): Hear three poets who may liberate your range of tastes and perceptions:
*Lindsay Hill* is intense, even at parties, but when language wakes you at 2 am, what can you do? his most recent books are NdjenFerno (Vatic Hum) and Contango (Singing Horse).
*Patrick Bocarde *writes of alien invasion and failed relationships as if they were related. He’s active on the local reading scene, including work on kboo, and strongly deserves a new book.
*Sean Patrick Hill* has won contests, residencies and a trip to new york with his poetry. He has been published widely, including /Exquisite Corpse, Willow Springs, New York Quarterly, and Redactions..
