SUMMARY:Cynthia Zarin launches her new poetry collection Next Day: New and Selected Poems
DESCRIPTION:Beginning with several dozen new poems that have appeared in The New Yorker\, among other publications\, this volume is a tour through Zarin’s five exquisitely made collections\, beginning with The Swordfish Tooth\, published in 1989. Zarin\, a poet in the line of Elizabeth Bishop\, allows the reader to experience human truths through a poem’s shape and music\, bodied forth through intimate images–the turn in the stair\, a snow globe\, naked birch branches\, a vase of flowers–and a propulsive syntax. From the clarity of childhood memory to the maze of marriage and divorce\, from her own consciousness–shaping landscapes of New York\, Cape Cod\, and Rome\, to the shifting tides of history and the troubled conscience of a nation\, her subject matter encompasses all of a woman’s life\, with passion–its risks\, satisfactions\, and shattering immediacy–her first and truest subject.

SUMMARY:Carolyn Jack launches hew debut novel The Changing of Keys
DESCRIPTION:With his father dead\, a gifted\, fourteen-year-old pianist finds himself sent away from his Caribbean home against his will\, to study classical music in the U.S. with a family friend he’s never met. His first angry\, frightened step away from the controlling mother he’s never been able to reach becomes a sharp break with her expectations: he leaps into the dramatic and cutthroat world of opera. In this high-stakes milieu\, his fierce desire to be a star fires both his brilliance and the dark distrust of women and of love that is the legacy of his childhood\, a legacy that threatens his career\, his impulsive marriage\, and the young daughter he never wanted.

SUMMARY:Paulina Bren launches her new book She-Wolves: The Untold History of Women on Wall Street
DESCRIPTION:First came the secretaries from Brooklyn and Queens—the “smart cookies” who learned on the job despite the obstacles. Then came the first Harvard Business School grads\, who\, despite their hard-earned diplomas\, often settled for less. Eventually came the yuppies of the 1980s in power suits and commuter sneakers. In She-Wolves\, award-winning historian Paulina Bren tells the story of the first generations of women who fought their way into the bad-boy culture and lavish opulence of the finance world. If the wolves of Wall Street made a show of their ferocity\, the she-wolves did so with tough-as-nails persistence. Starting at a time when “No Ladies” signs hung across the doors of Wall Street’s clubs and unapologetic sexism and racism were the norm at top firms\, Bren chronicles the remarkable women who demanded a seat at the table. She-Wolves is an engaging and enraging look at the collision of women\, finance\, and New York from the go-go years to ground zero.

SUMMARY:Sarah Gronningsater in conversation about her new book The Rising Generation
DESCRIPTION:The Rising Generation chronicles the long history of emancipation in the United States through the cradle-to-grave experiences of a generation of black New Yorkers. Born into precarious freedom after the American Revolution and reaching adulthood in the lead-up to the Civil War\, this remarkable generation ultimately played an outsized role in political and legal conflicts over slavery’s future\, influencing both the nation’s path to the Civil War and changes to the US Constitution. \nSarah will be in conversation with author Matt McCarthy. Matt is the author of The Real Doctor Will See You Shortly & Odd Man Out

SUMMARY:Stephen Bruno reads from his debut Building Material
DESCRIPTION:As an academically gifted Latino kid growing up in the Bronx\, Stephen Bruno’s family had high aspirations for his future. He attended magnet schools and selective academic programs and was on track to realize his potential. But those dreams were derailed when\, much to his Mami’s dismay\, he followed a girlfriend to Minnesota and a dead-end job. Languishing and unable to get it together\, Stephen eventually moved back home. Broke and eager to make a way for himself–and away from the oppressively religious father wreaking havoc on his love life–the affable\, easy going\, and quick-witted Stephen lands a much-coveted job as a doorman at a high-end building on Park Avenue. \nHilarity and drama soon abound as Stephen learns the dos and don’ts of being a doorman for the rich and famous and witnesses the antics going on behind the front entrance of this swanky building. In Building Material\, he shares those entertaining tales and introduces an unforgettable cast of characters–from Puerto Rican and Albanian doormen battling it out for turf to quirky one percenters to slimy sugar daddies to his peers\, both friends and frenemies. Throughout\, Stephen offers a glimpse into the unfathomable lives of the residents and a sharp portrait of an everyday man wanting more for himself. \nBoth poignant and laugh-out-loud funny\, Building Material is a captivating true tale of class\, failure\, and redemption–and how to come back swinging–from a gifted young talent.
