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: Anissa Bouziane [Virtual Public Event; RSVP Required]

Bouziane. Anissa was born in Tennessee\, daughter of a Moroccan father and a French mother.  She grew up in Morocco\, but returned to the US to attend Wellesley College\, and went on to earn an MFA in fiction writing from Columbia University. Her debut novel\, Dune Song\, is rooted in her experience of witnessing the collapse of the Twin Towers. She now works and teaches in Paris. \n“I came to the Sahara to be buried.” \nAfter witnessing the collapse of the World Trade Center\, Jeehan Nathaar leaves her New York life with her sense of identity fractured and her American dream destroyed. She returns to Morocco to make her home with a family that’s not her own. Healed by their kindness but caught up in their troubles\, Jeehan struggles to move beyond the pain and confusion of September 11th. On this desiccated landscape\, thousands of miles from Ground Zero\, the Dune sings of death\, love\, and forgiveness. \n

SUMMARY:[FULL] A Virtual Movement Workshop with Hiie Saumaa [Free to members; registration required]
DESCRIPTION:*This workshop has filled and the sign up link has been removed. If you signed up\, your response has been recorded and you can expect a confirmation email by Monday 6 April. If you hoped to sign up but were not able to before the offering filled\, please stay tuned for other virtual programming possibilities. We will not open a waitlist for this workshop. Thank you!*\nWe are pleased to be offering our first virtual movement workshop for adults! This workshop will be held on Thursday 16 April from 17h-19h and will be free and open to Library members. Space is limited and advance registration is required.\nJoy of Movement\nIn this workshop\, we learn to connect to our home\, the body\, through movement. The class is based on Nia dance\, a technique developed in the US in the 1980s. This method blends movements from dance arts\, martial arts\, and healing practices. We use simple choreography and free dance. In Nia\, as in any somatic method\, the focus is always on how you feel when you move and on finding comfort\, energy\, ease\, and support through movement. No previous dance experience is necessary; all ages can participate (though this workshop is intended primarily for adults). We dance barefoot and in comfortable exercise clothes. I hope the class will give you energy\, joy\, calm\, and a sense of healing. \n  \nHiie Saumaa (Ph.D\, Columbia) is a somatic dance educator\, writer\, and scholar. She teaches classes and workshops in mind-body movement techniques (Nia dance\, BodyLogos\, JourneyDance) and writes about dance\, health\, and the creative process. She has taught movement in the US\, Estonia\, France\, and Romania. Hiie writes a regular column for the Journal of Alternative & Complementary Therapies and her articles have appeared in international peer-reviewed dance journals. She is currently finishing a book on the artistry of Jerome Robbins. In 2018-19\, she was an inaugural fellow at Columbia’s Institute for Ideas & Imagination in Paris and an artist in residence at the Cite Internationale des Arts. She has taught at Columbia University\, New York University\, the University of Tennessee\, and Paris College of Art.

SUMMARY:Understanding the American University Application Process: with College Goals (By RSVP)
DESCRIPTION:For teens ages 14-18 and their parents\n \n  \n \n  \nGiven the demands of the American university application process\, students interested in pursuing higher education in the US are well advised to begin preparing early in their high school career\, before they embark on their final two years of study toward the French bac or IB. What do families need to know for their students to be successful and satisfied by the university search and application process? How do students produce a strong and interesting US university application? College Goals’ counselor\, Andrea van Niekerk\, will address the complexities of the American university application system\, with special attention to the process and mechanics.

Still based in Silicon Valley\, she now works with both American and international families as part of College Goals. Andrea has over 20 years of experience in college admission and academic advising.

SUMMARY:Evenings with an Author: Roger Lipsey
DESCRIPTION:Politics and Conscience: Dag Hammarskjöld on the Art of Ethical Leadership\, published in late February\, gives us the occasion to look at Hammarskjöld’s life and contributions as a whole. Roger’s talk\, richly illustrated with photographs and documents\, will explore Hammarskjöld’s eight-plus years as secretary-general of the United Nations\, his simmering conflict with Charles de Gaulle (the UN? “ce machin!”)\, and the power of his political thought and practice.\n\n\n\n‘At a time when political leadership in many contexts seems to be assimilating itself to the worst and most corrosive bits of the entertainment industry\, and when the whole ideal of public service is disregarded or despised\, it matters that we know where to look for hope and challenge.  Dag Hammarskjöld’s extraordinary example of a statesmanship that was at once astute\, humble\, courageous\, patient and risky is as necessary for us as water in the desert; and in this welcome book\, Hammarskjöld’s finest modern biographer sets out with model clarity and passion just what we might learn from him\, just what we might hold ourselves accountable to.’    \n— Rowan Williams\, Master of Magdalene College (Cambridge)\, Archbishop of Canterbury (ret.) \n\n\n\n\nRoger is the author of Hammarskjöld: A Life (2013)\, the first full biography in 40 years\, well-received in the English-speaking world and Scandinavia. He has published many other books on topics ranging from the spiritual in twentieth-century art to the life of the Trappist monk and author Thomas Merton. Roger has an undergraduate degree from Yale College and a PhD from the Institute of Fine Arts (New York University). Visit rogerlipsey.net for a complete overview of his work as a writer.
