SUMMARY:Watercolor Workshop with Jessie Kanelos Weiner [Virtual Event\, Library members only\, RSVP Required]
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is FREE and open to Library members. \nSpace is limited and registration is required. Please RSVP here. \nThis event will run via Zoom from 17h00-18h00 on Thursday 11 June. \nPARIS IN STRIDE: A WATERCOLOR WORKSHOP \n11 years ago\, illustrator Jessie Kanelos Weiner was a young dreamer who arrived in Paris with artistic desires\, minimal talent and no tangible ambitions. With nothing but time and a sketchbook\, it’s the moment where she developed her distinct style by documenting the intoxicating fragrance of French roast chicken\, the circuitous streets of Paris and how she found her place amongst it all. Jessie will walk participants through her creative process\, her watercolor tips and tricks and some backstory on how her time in Paris shaped her career as a professional watercolorist. \nJessie is a Franco-American watercolor illustrator (Vogue\, WSJ\, NYT) and coauthor of Paris in Stride and New York in Stride.

SUMMARY:Evenings with an Author: Traci Brimhall [Virtual Public Event; RSVP Required]
DESCRIPTION:*Covid-19 Update: Although our physical space has temporarily closed\, the Library will continue with its Evening with an Author programming during the period of confinement. Our events will continue to be free and open to the public\, via Zoom (please RSVP here to receive meeting details and password). We have moved the events up\, to begin at 17h00 (Central European Time). Please check eLibris or our programs calendar for updates and line-up. \nJoin us for an evening of reading and discussion with poet and essayist Traci Brimhall. We will hear Traci read from her new essay “The Grief Artist” about the role of creativity and grief\, as well as discuss the work she is doing now researching creativity in epidemics. She lives 20 miles from the source of the 1918 flu outbreak and is looking at both the art produced at that time\, as well as what it means to grieve long distance. An audience Q&A will follow. \nIn “The Grief Artist\,” Traci braids several narratives that explore the relationship of the creative process to the grief processes of both death and divorce. She traces lost love letters she finds in a used book and ties them to the end of her marriage; examines the year she spent making hospice blankets after her mother’s death; and interviews a woman who used flowers from her mother’s funeral to make art for 100 days. In each of these Traci asks how art can help us grieve in a culture that no longer has public bereavement rituals and how the creative process can possibly even help us with the physical aspects of grief. \nTraci Brimhall is the author of four books: Come the Slumberless from the Land of Nod (Copper Canyon); Saudade (Copper Canyon); Our Lady of the Ruins (W.W. Norton)\, winner of the Barnard Women Poets Prize; and Rookery (Southern Illinois University Press)\, winner of the Crab Orchard Series in Poetry First Book Award. Her poems have appeared in The New Yorker\, Poetry\, The Believer\, The New Republic\, Orion\, and Best American Poetry. Her essays have appeared in Georgia Review\, Southern Review\, New England Review\, Brevity\, and cited as notable in several editions of Best American Essays.  She’s received fellowships from the Wisconsin Institute for Creative Writing and the National Endowment for the Arts.  She’s the Director of Creative Writing at Kansas State University and lives in Manhattan\, KS. \n

SUMMARY:Evenings with an Author: Visiting Fellow Mark Braude [Virtual Public Event; RSVP Required]
DESCRIPTION:*Covid-19 Update: Although our physical space has temporarily closed\, the Library will continue with its Evening with an Author programming during the period of confinement. Our events will continue to be free and open to the public\, via Zoom (please RSVP here to receive meeting details and password). We have moved the events up\, to begin at 17h00 (Central European Time). Please check eLibris or our programs calendar for updates and line-up. \nPlease join us for a discussion with author and American Library in Paris Visiting Fellow Mark Braude about his recent book\, The Invisible Emperor: Napoleon on Elba from Exile to Escape\,  a “coup de coeur” for the 2019 American Library in Paris Book Award and a community favorite. \nAs many of us continue to follow confinement or quarantine measures in the fight against covid-19\, themes of exile\, banishment\, and separation are at the forefront of our minds. Indeed\, Mark’s interest in Napoleon stems from this very specific experience of his off the main stage of Europe in 1814-15. In finding a novel approach to a larger than life personality\, Mark gives us something unexpected and fresh–he takes us far beyond those chapters of Napoleon’s life that have received extensive treatment and analysis. In our discussion\, Mark will tell us more about his research and findings\, and provide his reflections on how exile affected one of the most famous historical figures of all time\, reminding us that despite having lived an extraordinary life\, Napoleon was\, after all\, a human being who often found himself separated from or at the mercy of others\, as was the case during his exile on Elba. \nMark was selected as an American Library in Paris Visiting Fellow for Spring 2020. Though Mark was unable to join us at the Library in May 2020 as originally planned\, we look forward to welcoming him sometime in 2020-21\, during which time he will write\, research\, and engage further with our community by offering another lecture as well as a workshop. \nMARK BRAUDE is the author of The Invisible Emperor: Napoleon on Elba From Exile to Escape and Making Monte Carlo: A History of Speculation and Spectacle. He is currently at work on a book of narrative nonfiction about the French artist and model Kiki de Montparnasse\, focusing on her professional and romantic entanglement with the American photographer Man Ray in 1920s Paris\, to be published by W.W. Norton.

SUMMARY:[FULL] Evenings with an Author: Emilio Williams [Virtual Public Event; RSVP Required]
DESCRIPTION:This event is now full\, thank you for your understanding. A recording will be released in our Podcast series\, “Evenings with an Author.” \n*Covid-19 Update: Although our physical space has temporarily closed\, the Library will continue with its Evening with an Author programming during the period of confinement. Our events will continue to be free and open to the public\, via Zoom. We have moved the events up\, to begin at 17h00 (Central European Time). Please check eLibris or our programs calendar for updates and line-up. \n\nEmilio Williams presents\n“Empty Streets\, Busy Lives:\nA surprising historical tour of le Septième through the iconic photos of Eugène Atget (1857–1927)”\n\nA century ago\, ex-pat American photographers Man Ray and Berenice Abbott discovered a treasure trove of photos that an unknown commercial photographer\, Eugène Atget\, had taken of the empty streets of Old Paris. The surrealists became enthralled by his uncanny and eerie images\, now regarded as the foundational masterpieces of street photography. During his research on the history of 7th arrondissement\, Emilio found an album of forgotten photos of the district taken by Atget. For his lecture\, Emilio has combined those rarely seen photos with surprising discoveries of the colorful figures who lived in the neighborhood and walked the streets around the American Library in Paris.\n\nEmilio Williams divides his time between Paris and Chicago\, where he is a playwright resident and faculty member at Chicago Dramatists. This fall he will be teaching at Columbia College\, Dominican University\, and Georgia State University. He is currently working on a non-fiction book about the forgotten stories of the 7th arrondissement in the Parisian Left Bank. His award-winning theater plays have been produced and published internationally to much critical acclaim. In his previous life as a journalist\, he worked for CNN in Atlanta and Washington DC.\n\n\nPhoto: “Fontaine de Mars” Eugène Atget\, 1903.
