Co-presented with City Lights Booksellers & Publishers


In this latest novel-poem, Pulitzer Prize winner Forrest Gander takes us between his birthplace in the Mojave Desert and his current Northern California home, where tumultuous memories coalesce with the present. Gander, trained as a geologist, walked along much of the 800-mile San Andreas Fault toward the desolate town of his birth and found himself crossing permeable dimensions of time and space, correlating his emotions and the stricken landscape with other divisions: the fractures and folds underlying not only our country, but any self in its relationship with others. Join Forrest  in conversation with fellow poet Jane Hirshfield. FREE, $10-15 suggested donation
