Books Reading Today

Posted by Paul Constant on Sat, Apr 25, 2009 at 10:02 AM

c954/1240594269-miller.jpg Three events and an open mic today.

Brenda Miller reads at Elliott Bay Book Company. Here is a synopsis of her book, Blessing of the Animals: "A new dog leads Brenda Miller to explore the blurred edges between the physical and the spiritual, to probe the connective tissues of magnetism, memory, and mysticism." Sounds ruff!

The Hugo House hosts an event tonight with the poets Keely Isaak Meehan, Linden Ontjes and Christian Swenson. Here is the description of this event: The three poets "will perform one poem in multiple mediums; then you'll be asked to translate it back into a poem." This could be terribly fun or terribly lame. One way to find out, I guess.

And at the library, Steve Scher hosts a forum titled “Political Spin: A Conversation about Frost/Nixon and the Role of Media in Politics." Sarah Palin's disastrous Katie Couric interview will also be discussed. This is clearly the reading of the day.

The full readings calendar, including the next week or so, is here.

Under her leadership, Alaska invested more than $5 billion in state savings, increased education funding, and implemented the Senior Benefits Program that provides support for low-income older Alaskans. She created Alaska’s Petroleum Systems Integrity Office to provide oversight and maintenance of oil and gas equipment, facilities and infrastructure, and the Climate Change Subcabinet to prepare a climate change strategy for Alaska. She also established the Rural Subcabinet to create stronger, safer and healthier communities in the state’s outlying regions.

Palin was set up by Katie Couric and CBSm. John Ziegler'z excellent documentary details the media's explicit efforts to take her down.

Strong, intelligent and patriotic Christian women scare the hell out of the Godless, pro-homosexual left.
