Book Club | Poetry Discussion: Tropic of Squalor by Mary Karr


In Tropic of Squalor, Mary Karr dares to address the numinous--that mystery some of us hope towards in secret, or maybe dare to pray to. Her brazen verse calls us out of our psychic swamplands and into that hard-won awareness of the divine hiding in the small moments that make us human. In a single poem she can generate tears, horror, empathy, laughter, and peace. She never preaches. But whether you're an adamant atheist, a pilgrim, or skeptically curious, these poems will urge you to find an inner light in the most baffling hours of darkness.

Opening Reception | 2 Art Shows: Our Blues / The Devil I Dance With


Our Blues by Regina Y. Evans is a healing arts textile installation highlighting the sacredness and dynamic beauty of Black women. The installation focuses upon rage to joy, with the understanding that rage held with intention can be the fuel needed for upending injustices for the sake of necessary freedom. Black women are the holders of varied coded chapters, divine feelings, insistent jubilations, and spirited pathways. From the melancholy of a poetic blue musical note to the nurturing blue of the wise ocean deep…this is “Our Blues”. The Devil I Dance With: the Makings of the U.S. Thru African American Eyes is an expression of the tenderness artist Rebecca Boyd Driver feels for the strength of her people, who in the face of tremendous ongoing oppression not only survived, but made us, American people, a better people in all areas and paved the way for all those who followed. Driver feels that no matter who you are and how you are ‘colored’ by your past and present, you can appreciate the reality of how African American people have shaped this country, and how deeply Black people are underappreciated, given the outsized role they have played, in the furtherance of this country’s ideals and construction.

Book Discussion | Disputed Inheritance: The Battle over Mendel and the Future of Biology


Author Gregory Radick investigates how the Mendelian narrative that heredity is destiny took hold.   In 1900, few had heard of Gregor Mendel. Ten years later, he was famous as the father of genetics. Even today, Mendelian ideas serve as a standard entry point for learning about genes. The message students receive is plain: the twenty-first century owes an enlightened understanding of how biological inheritance really works to the persistence of an intellectual inheritance that traces back to Mendel’s garden. Gregory Radick will discuss his latest book which turns the inherited narrative on its head. Radick attributes Mendelism not to Mendel’s own work, but to the outcome of a ferocious debate between two English biologists in the early 20th century. On one side was William Bateson, who, in Mendel’s name, wanted biology and society reorganized around the recognition that heredity is destiny. On the other was W. F. R. Weldon, who thought Bateson’s “Mendelism” pushed knowledge of the modifying role of environments to the margins. Weldon died before he could finish a book detailing his alternative vision. Had Weldon lived, Radick argues, we might still talk of “genes,” but without the deterministic notion that the presence of a particular DNA variant is sufficient to determine if someone is born to be aggressive, alcoholic, blue-eyed, doomed to breast cancer, or crave caffeine. Instead, our gene talk would be routinely hedged with talk of internal and external contexts, because a gene would be seen as something with variable effects depending on the mix of other causes in play.

In celebration of the 400th anniversary of the settlement New Amsterdam by the Dutch, welcome Sara Cedar Miller, Historian emerita of the Central Park Conservancy, for an online discussion of the connection between tobacco and what is today Greenwich Village, Central Park, Harlem and the famed Village residents, the DeForest family.

The famed DeForests of Greenwich Village all descend from the Park's first farming family.

Book Discussion | Dorothea Rockburne: The Artist's First In-Depth Monograph


A conversation between Dorothea Rockburne and editor Svetlana Kitto to launch the first in-depth monograph of the artist’s seven-decade career. Published in July 2024, the book considers the full scope and varied range of Rockburne’s elegant yet deceptively simple sculptures, installations, and paintings. Essays explore her time at Black Mountain College and training as an artist; her background in dance including a brief period with the Judson Dance Theater; the physicality of her art as manifested through painstaking work with humble materials like chipboard, cup grease, paper, and linen; her long-standing engagement with mathematics; and her foregrounding of subjectivity and emotion, which puts her in particular dialogue with feminism, Minimalism, and wider contemporary abstraction. Balancing both new scholarship and never-before-published writings, studies, and drawings by the artist, this will be the definitive book on Rockburne’s expansive oeuvre for years to come.

Book Discussion | First in the Family: A Story of Survival, Recovery, and the American Dream


In this deeply moving and lyrical memoir, Jessica Hoppe, creator of NuevaYorka, shares an intimate, courageous account of what it means to truly interrupt cycles of harm. During the first year of quarantine, drug overdoses spiked, the highest ever recorded. And Hoppe’s cousin was one of them. “I never learned the true history of substance use disorder in my family,” Hoppe writes. “People just disappeared.” At the time of her cousin’s death, she’d been in recovery for nearly four years, but she hadn’t told anyone. Hoppe shares her journey, the first in her family to do so, and takes the reader on a remarkable investigation of her family’s history, the American Dream, and the erasure of BIPOC from recovery institutions and narratives, leaving the reader with an urgent message of hope.

Book Discussion | Joy in Service on Rue Tagore: New Poetry by Paul Muldoon


Paul Muldoon has created some of the most original and memorable poetry of the past half century. Joy in Service on Rue Tagore sees him writing with the same verve and distinction that have consistently won him the highest accolades. Here, from artichokes to zinc, Muldoon navigates an alphabet of image and history, through barleymen and Irish slavers to the last running wolf in Ulster. The search involves the accumulated bric-a-brac of a life, and a reckoning along the way of gains against loss. In the poet’s skillful hands, ancient maps are unfurled and brought into focus—the aggregation of Imperial Rome and the dismantling of Standard Oil, the pogroms of a Ukrainian ravine and of a Belfast shipyard. Through modern medicine and warfare, disaster and repair, these poems are electric in their energy, while profoundly humane in their line of inquiry.

Concert | Sacred Rights, Sacred Song: A Concert of Concern


Created by artist/activist Francine M. Gordon in collaboration with Dr. J. A. Kawarsky, Sacred Rights, Sacred Song – A Concert of Concern, premiered in Cleveland, Ohio on November 6, 2010. Between 2010 and 2016, concerts of concern were produced in Atlanta, Baltimore, New York City, Philadelphia, and in the Israeli cities of Jerusalem, Kfar Saba, and Beit Shean. These concerts asked difficult questions about the obvious conflicts within Israeli society between right-wing Public Jewish law and the aspiration to live by liberal democratic values. Today, 14 years later, Israel’s existence as a sovereign state, defined by both liberal democratic values and core Jewish values, is under the greatest threat since Her founding 76 years ago. The ongoing armed conflict between the Israel Defense Forces and Iran’s heavily armed proxies at Israel’s borders has been toxic for all people of goodwill in the Holy Land. The hatred and fear of the past 24 years, exacerbated by excessive right-wing ideologies in both Palestinian and Israeli civil societies, has taken the great project of the Jewish People off course. Sacred Rights, Sacred Song returns to the stage to bring the voice of the Moral Middle to the conversation about the future of the Holy Land in a concerted and harmonious way.

Book Discussion | The Movement by Clara Bingham (In Person AND Online!)


Award-winning journalist Clara Bingham’s new book, The Movement, is the first oral history of the decade that built the modern feminist movement. The book captures the years 1963–73 in the voices of the women at the forefront, from Bella Abzug to Shirley Chisholm, Gloria Steinem, the Janes, and much more. It gives center stage to the unsung heroes of the fight for gender equality and highlights the vital role played by activists of color. Bingham discusses with novelist and journalist Farai Chideya the intimate inside story of what it felt like to be at the forefront of the modern feminist crusade, when women rejected thousands of years of custom and demanded the freedom to be who they wanted and needed to be.
