SUMMARY:The Places We Belong
DESCRIPTION:A conversation about belonging\, identity\, and how we define those things for ourselves\, and how others define them for us. Join host Jason Herndon as he chats with authors Gabriel Bump author of Everywhere You Don’t Belong\, and Connor Towne O’Neill author of Down Along With That Devil’s Bones.  Get your copies of  at our independent bookseller partner\, Scuppernong Books! \nHOW TO WATCH\nZoom\nMeeting ID: 828 1236 6045\nPasscode:139172 \n  \nGABRIEL BUMP grew up in South Shore\, Chicago. His nonfiction and fiction have appeared in Slam magazine\, the Huffington Post\, Springhouse Journal\, and other publications. He was awarded the 2016 Deborah Slosberg Memorial Award for Fiction. He received his MFA in fiction from the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst. He lives in Buffalo\, New York. \nEverywhere You Don’t Belong\nIn this alternately witty and heartbreaking debut novel\, Gabriel Bump gives us an unforgettable protagonist\, Claude McKay Love. Claude isn’t dangerous or brilliant—he’s an average kid coping with abandonment\, violence\, riots\, failed love\, and societal pressures as he steers his way past the signposts of youth: childhood friendships\, basketball tryouts\, first love\, first heartbreak\, picking a college\, moving away from home. \nClaude just wants a place where he can fit. As a young black man born on the South Side of Chicago\, he is raised by his civil rights–era grandmother\, who tries to shape him into a principled actor for change; yet when riots consume his neighborhood\, he hesitates to take sides\, unwilling to let race define his life. He decides to escape Chicago for another place\, to go to college\, to find a new identity\, to leave the pressure cooker of his hometown behind. But as he discovers\, he cannot; there is no safe haven for a young black man in this time and place called America. \nPercolating with fierceness and originality\, attuned to the ironies inherent in our twenty-first-century landscape\, Everywhere You Don’t Belong marks the arrival of a brilliant young talent. \nCONNOR TOWNE O’NEILL‘s writing has appeared in New York magazine\, Vulture\, Slate\, RBMA\, and the Village Voice\, and he works as a producer on the NPR podcast White Lies\, which was a finalist for the 2020 Pulitzer Prize in Audio Reporting. Originally from Lancaster\, Pennsylvania\, he lives in Tuscaloosa\, Alabama\, and teaches at Auburn University and with the Alabama Prison Arts + Education Project. This is his first book. \nDown Along With That Devil’s Bones\nJournalist Connor Towne O’Neill takes a deep dive into American history\, exposing the still-raging battles over monuments dedicated to one of the most notorious Confederate generals\, Nathan Bedford Forrest. Through the lens of these conflicts\, O’Neill examines the legacy of white supremacy in America\, in a sobering and fascinating work sure to resonate with readers of Tony Horwitz\, Timothy B. Tyson\, and Robin DiAngelo. \nWhen O’Neill first moved to Alabama\, as a white Northerner\, he felt somewhat removed from the racism Confederate monuments represented. Then one day in Selma\, he stumbled across a group of citizens protecting a monument to Forrest\, the officer who became the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and whom William Tecumseh Sherman referred to as “that devil.” O’Neill sets off to visit other disputed memorials to Forrest across the South\, talking with men and women who believe they are protecting their heritage\, and those who have a different view of the man’s poisonous history. \nO’Neill’s reporting and thoughtful\, deeply personal analysis make it clear that white supremacy is not a regional affliction but is in fact coded into the DNA of the entire country. Down Along with That Devil’s Bones presents an important and eye-opening account of how we got from Appomattox to Charlottesville\, and where\, if we can truly understand and transcend our past\, we could be headed next.

SUMMARY:The More Extravagant Feast with Leah Naomi Green
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of conversation with Walt Whitman Award-winning poet\, LEAH NAOMI GREEN! Hosted by author\, Jacob Paul.\nThis event is co-sponsored by the High Point University Phoenix Series. \nPurchase your copies of Leah’s books at our independent bookseller partner\, Scuppernong Books! \nHow to Watch\nZoom\nMeeting ID: 821 4674 4361\nPasscode: 565858 \nLEAH NAOMI GREEN teaches English and Environmental Studies at Washington and Lee University and lives in the Shenandoah Mountains where she\, her partner\, and their daughters homestead and grow food. Green received an MFA from The University of California\, Irvine. Her work has appeared in or is forthcoming from The Paris Review\, Tin House\, The Southern Review\, Ecotone\, Pleiades and Shenandoah. Her most recent work\, The More Extravagant Feast (Graywolf Press\, 2020)\, which was selected by Li-Young Lee for the Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets. Her chapbook\, The Ones We Have\, received the 2012 Flying Trout Chapbook prize.\n\nTHE MORE EXTRAVAGANT FEAST\nThis book keeps faithful company with the world and earns its name. The darkness and suffering of living on earth are assumed in this work\, woven throughout the fabric of its lineated perceptions and insights\, and yet\, it is ultimately informed by the deep logic of compassion (is there a deeper human logic?) and enacts the wisdom of desire and fecundity reconciled with knowledge of death and boundedness. These poems remind us that when language is used to mediate between a soul’s inner contents and the outer world’s over-abundance of being and competing meanings\, it’s possible to both transcend the nihilism of word games\, thereby discovering a more meaningful destiny for language\, as well as reveal the body of splendor which is Existence.—Li-Young Lee \nJACOB PAUL is the author of the novels\, Last Tower to Heaven (C&R Press\, November 2019)\, A Song of Ilan (Jaded Ibis\, 2015) and Sarah/Sara (Ig\, 2010). His most recent performance-based collaboration was showcased at LadyFest CLT. His work has also appeared in numerous magazines and journals\, including\, most recently in Massachusetts Review and Seneca Review. He teaches creative writing at High Point University in North Carolina. \n
