SUMMARY:Second Tuesday Poetry featuring Linda Scheller & Zubair Ahmed
DESCRIPTION:Modesto-Stanislaus Poetry Center presents Second Tuesday Poetry\, featuring Zubair Ahmed and Linda Scheller  \nDate: Tuesday\, July 12\, 2022 \nTime: 7:00 pm PST \nRSVP for Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZArcu6oqD4sGNDZmBo6MV6JoEG46YsUVpYJ  \n  \nLinda Scheller\nLinda Scheller is a poet\, playwright\, and essayist whose work has recently been published in Colorado Review\, On the Seawall\, Arkana\, Sugar House Review\, Terrain\, The Museum of Americana\, and The Wild Word. Her first book of poetry\, Fierce Light\, was published by FutureCycle Press in 2017. Recent honors include finalist for the Barrow Street Press Poetry Book Prize and The Word Works Washington Prize as well as Best of the Net and Pushcart Prize nominations. She is a founding board member of MoSt Poetry\, serves on the Stanislaus County Arts Council\, programs for KCBP Community Radio\, and belongs to the Modesto Chapter of the National League of American Pen Women. Wind & Children\, her new poetry book\, was published by Main Street Rag on June 8\, 2022. \n “Linda Scheller’s Wind and Children is a tragic and beautiful exposition of a teacher’s heart. Tinged with the uncertain fates of her children\, California climate chaos\, and bright birdsong\, these poems sing as a poignant “flute for the wind” in a broken “system that fosters indifference.” Through exquisite metaphor and gripping imagery\, this “mother of thousands” pens 36 years of service with grace and wonder\, regret and hope. And like a true teacher—with love. ~Kai Coggin\, educator and author of Mining for Stardust \n“In Linda Scheller’s Wind and Children\, fifth graders sit “hunched and silent/like a cloud of butterflies/forced to earth.” We worry over them\, their parents\, their homes\, the violence that surrounds them. Scheller refuses to turn away from difficult realities\, yet seeks understanding\, looking to the natural world. Reader\, you’ll travel far before you’ll find a more thoughtful guide than the one you meet and learn to love in the pages of this moving\, care-filled book.” ~Christopher Citro\, author of If We Had a Lemon We’d Throw It and Call That the Sun \n“Scheller brings the focus of her lens to the world\, showcasing a lifetime of literary lessons\, poetic remembrances\, and artistic manifestations. This volume is a beautiful addition to her work.” ~Indigo Moor\, Everybody’s Jonesin’ for Something \nFor more information and links to publications\, please go to lindascheller.com. \nZubair Ahmed\nZubair Ahmed was born and raised in Dhaka\, Bangladesh. He works as an engineer in Oakland. He also writes poetry\, having been named by Poets & Writers magazine as one of the top debut poets of 2012.

SUMMARY:MoSt Poetry Book Club   Vantage by Taneum Bambrick
DESCRIPTION:MoSt Poetry Book Club will meet Wednesday\, July 20\, 2022 at 4:30 pm Pacific at the Modesto Stanislaus County Library downstairs in the Maker’s Space. Sara Coito will lead a discussion of this month’s selection\, Vantage by Taneum Bambrick. One or two copies of the book are still available to borrow at the library desk. \nWinner of the APR/Honickman First Book Prize\, selected by Sharon Olds (who writes the introduction)\, Vantage is a fictionalized account of the poet’s time spent working as the only woman on a six-person garbage crew around the reservoirs of two massive dams. Bambrick began writing poems in order to document the forms of violence she witnessed towards the people and the environment of the Columbia River. Power—literal and metaphorical—runs through the collection and its stories\, as Bambrick finds connection across the lines.
