His landmark memoir\, The Color of Water\, published in 1996\, has sold millions of copies and spent more than two years on the New York Times bestseller list. Considered an American classic\, it is read in schools and universities across the United States. \nHis debut novel\, Miracle at St. Anna\, was turned into a 2008 film by Oscar-winning writer and director Spike Lee\, with a script written by McBride. \nHis 2013 novel\, The Good Lord Bird\, about American abolitionist John Brown\, won the National Book Award for Fiction and will be a Showtime limited series in fall 2020 starring Ethan Hawke. \nMcBride has been a staff writer for The Boston Globe\, People Magazine\, and The Washington Post\, and his work has appeared in Essence\, Rolling Stone\, and The New York Times. His 2007 National Geographic story “Hip Hop Planet” is considered an important examination of African American music and culture. \nA noted musician and composer\, McBride has toured as a saxophonist sideman with jazz legend Jimmy Scott\, among other musicians. He has written songs for Anita Baker\, Grover Washington Jr.\, Pura Fé\, Gary Burton\, and even for the PBS television character “Barney.” (He did not write the “I Love You” song for Barney\, but he wishes he did.) He received the Stephen Sondheim Award and the Richard Rodgers Foundation Horizon Award for his musical Bobos\, co-written with playwright Ed Shockley. His 2003 Riffin’ and Pontificatin’ musical tour was filmed for a nationally televised Comcast documentary. He has been featured on national radio and television in North America\, Europe\, Australia\, and New Zealand. He often does his public readings accompanied by a band. \nIn addition to being an author and a musician\, McBride has other attributes. He admits to being the worst dancer in the history of African Americana\, bar none (he claims he should be legally barred from dancing at any event he attends). And when he takes off his hat\, fleas fly out. Little things\, little talents. \nA native New Yorker and a graduate of New York City public schools\, McBride studied composition at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in Ohio and received his master’s degree at the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University. In 2015\, he was awarded the National Humanities Medal by President Obama “for humanizing the complexities of discussing race in America.” He holds several honorary doctorates and is currently a Distinguished Writer in Residence at New York University. \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nATTENTION BOOK CLUBS! \nIf you’re interested in reading The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store in preparation for James McBride’s event\, the Greensboro Public Library can provide you with books! \nEmail Amanda Sanson the following info and she’ll hook up your book club! \n\nyour name\, email address\, and phone number\nactive library card number\nbook title\nhow many books you would like borrow (up to 15)\ndate range you would like to borrow the books\nat which branch you would like to pick up your books\nif you would also like audio books (not available for every title)\n\n  \n  URL:https://greensborobound.com/event/james-mcbride/ LOCATION:Elliot University Center Auditorium\, UNCG\, 507 Stirling Street\, Greensboro\, NC\, 27412 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240514T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240514T190000 DTSTAMP:20260406T122957 CREATED:20240315T122811Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240405T161311Z UID:13500-1715709600-1715713200@greensborobound.com SUMMARY:A Conversation with Joseph Crespino\, author of ATTICUS FINCH\, THE BIOGRAPHY DESCRIPTION:Join Greensboro Bound for a book talk with JOSEPH CRESPINO\, author of Atticus Finch\, The Biography: Harper Lee\, her father\, and the making of an American icon.\n \nWho was the real Atticus Finch?

LEARN MORE \nSpoken Word: A Cultural History\nA fascinating history of the art form that has transformed the cultural landscape\, by one of its influential practitioners\, an award-winning poet\, professor\, and slam champion. In 2009\, when he was twenty years old\, Joshua Bennett was invited to perform a spoken word poem for Barack and Michelle Obama\, at the same White House “Poetry Jam” where Lin-Manuel Miranda declaimed the opening bars of a work-in-progress that would soon revolutionize American theater. That meeting is but one among many in the trajectory of Bennett’s young life\, as he rode the cresting wave of spoken word through the 2010s. In this book\, he goes back to its roots\, considering the Black Arts movement and the prominence of poetry and song in Black education; the origins of the famed Nuyorican Poets Cafe in the Lower East Side living room of the visionary Miguel Algarín\, who hosted verse gatherings with legendary figures like Ntozake Shange and Miguel Piñero; the rapid growth of the “slam” format that was pioneered at the Get Me High Lounge in Chicago; the perfect storm of spoken word’s rise during the explosion of social media; and Bennett’s own journey alongside his older sister\, whose work to promote the form helped shape spaces online and elsewhere dedicated to literature and the pursuit of human freedom.    A celebration of voices outside the dominant cultural narrative\, who boldly embraced an array of styles and forms and redefined what—and whom—the mainstream would include\, Bennett’s book illuminates the profound influence spoken word has had everywhere melodious words are heard\, from Broadway to academia\, from the podiums of political protest to cafés\, schools\, and rooms full of strangers all across the world.\n \nA NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR\n“A “rich hybrid of memoir and history” (The New Yorker) of the literary art form that has transformed the cultural landscape\, by one of its influential practitioners\, an award-winning poet\, professor\, and slam champion.” \n“Bennett…transport[s] us back to the city blocks\, bars\, cafes and stages these artists traversed and inhabited…an instructive text for young poets\, artists or creative entrepreneurs trying to find a way to carve out a space for themselves…Shines with a refreshing dynamism.” —The New York Times \n  \n  URL:https://greensborobound.com/event/joshua-bennett/ LOCATION:McNair Hall Auditorium\, 1601 E Market St\, Greensboro END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240220T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240220T180000 DTSTAMP:20260406T122957 CREATED:20231220T145033Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240208T171243Z UID:13323-1708444800-1708452000@greensborobound.com SUMMARY:Diane Flynt\, Southern Apples Lost and Found: The People & Places Behind 300 Years of Apples in the South DESCRIPTION:Join Greensboro Bound\, Well-Spring Retirement Community\, and the Greensboro Public Library as we welcome DIANE FLYNT.

Our bodies and the subconscious are also wise and rich resources for inspiration and for instilling a sense of joy\, possibility\, and permission in the writing process. In this workshop\, we’ll use exercises focused on the five senses\, breathwork\, and theater-inspired movement to tap into the knowledge contained in our bodies and subconscious. You’ll walk away with new ways to bypass the internal critic\, play and experiment\, and find entry points for your writing\, whether you’re drafting a new piece or revising existing work. \n\n \n  \n  \nNICOLE LUNGERHAUSEN  writes fantasy and science fiction\, with a focus on stories that center hope and compassion\, woman-identified characters\, especially multi-generational narratives\,\nand non-romantic relationships.

Her writing was included in Abyss & Apex’s 2019 “Best\nof” anthology\, and received an honorable mention from Writers of the Future in 2020. Nicole’s latest work will be published by The Future Fire\, a magazine of socio-political\, feminist\, and queer sci fi and fantasy\, in June 2022.\nA professional actor for 10+ years\, Nicole takes a body-centered approach to writing\, using sensory exercises\, movement\, and breath and voice work as part of the creative process. As a coach\, she works with fiction and non-fiction writers to discover their voices and the stories they truly love to write\, and with non-profits to create and tell stories about their work and why it matters. Nicole holds dual B.A.s in Creative Writing and Theater from San Francisco State University.

Writers will work to create a narrative voice that speaks directly to the reader. This voice layers time frames (I felt then\, I feel now)\, and makes something ordinary seem strange or something strange seem ordinary. We will consider alternatives to conventional plots. How does a text build suspense and dramatic tension without moving toward the resolution of conflict? The writers WG Sebald\, Chris Kraus\, Adrienne Kennedy\, David Shields\, Sarah Manguso\, John Haskell\, Édouard Levé\, and Richard Rodriguez come to mind as practitioners. We will discuss craft and form elements borrowed from music\, visual art\, and film: fugue structures\, bricolage\, collage\, jump cuts\, fades\, montage\, close-ups\, long shots\, and exploded moments. We will work with lists and blocks of text. \n \nLAURIE STONE  is author of six books books including recently Streaming Now\, Postcards from the Thing that is Happening (Dottir Press\, 2022)\, Everything is Personal\, Notes on Now (Scuppernong Editions\, 2020)\, and My Life as an Animal\, Stories (Northwestern University Press/Triquarterly Press\, 2016).
