SUMMARY:Angie Sijun Lou & Karen Tei Yamashita - Dark Soil: Fictions and Mythographies
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes Angie Sijun Lou and Karen Tei Yamashita for the launch of Dark Soil: Fictions and Mythographies—a new anthology edited by Lou and featuring ten new stories from Yamashita\, all centered around Santa Cruz’s history\, along with eight works of nonfiction from authors including Brandon Shimoda and Juliana Spahr. \n \nAbout Dark Soil \nEight authors’ works of personal nonfiction join with ten new stories by Karen Tei Yamashita to illuminate the hidden histories of places large and small. Faced with a scant historical record in her urge to reconstruct the layered past of Santa Cruz\, Karen Tei Yamashita turns to fiction set amidst its architecture. Ten stories explore the California city to animate what might have been\, to build the fullness of lives forgotten\, and to honor their living with story and possibility. Following this impulse into the realm of nonfiction\, eight other writers chart their own counternarratives of place through the greater United States. Diverging and converging in their scale and scope\, from an unnamed lot on the bank of the Ohio River to the territory of Guam\, these works use language as an instrument of excavation\, uncovering layers of hurt and desire concealed in the land. \nAngie Sijun Lou is a Kundiman Fellow and a PhD candidate in literature and creative writing at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. Her writings have appeared in the Kenyon Review\, Joyland\, Best Small Fictions\, and Gulf Coast. She lives in Oakland. \nKaren Tei Yamashita is the author of seven books (including I Hotel\, finalist for the National Book Award\, and most recently Sansei and Sensibility)\, all published by Coffee House Press. Recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters from the National Book Foundation\, the John Dos Passos Prize for Literature\, and a United States Artists’ Ford Foundation Fellowship\, she is professor emerita of literature and creative writing at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. \nPurchase your own copy of Dark Soil at: Bookshop Santa Cruz – Dark Soil \nThis event is co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Saturday Shakespeare
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the Shakespeare Workshop at UCSC\, this in-person meeting of the Saturday Shakespeare Group will take place on Saturday\, May 11th in the new Aptos Library\, with a Zoom option for those who can not attend in person. The nominal meeting time is 10:00 am\, library doors open at 10:00 am. \nThe speaker for this meeting will be Sean Keilen\, Professor of Literature\, University of California\, Santa Cruz. \nSean is a regular speaker to the group\, and always presents original and stimulating ideas. He is also the founding Director of Shakespeare Workshop\, a research center of The Humanities Institute. \nReadings: Act III Scene 2 (starting with Hamlet “Why\, let the stricken deer go weep”\, line 266 in the Pelican edition) + Act III Scenes 3 and 4 + Act IV Scenes 1-6 \nReading Coordinator: Bob Peterson | rpeterson@scu.edu\nIf you would like to read please email the reading coordinator as soon as possible. \nZoom Information\nFor those who will be attending by Zoom\, here is the Zoom information. The link is:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/89795220016?pwd=QRcs1tQt6TAxaaBdYqUrXW6XVu4JlJ.1\nMeeting ID: 897 9522 0016\nPasscode: 755261 \nAll Scheduled Meetings \n\nApril 27 | Paul Whitworth\nMay 4 | Charles Pasternack\nMay 11 | Sean Keilen\nMay 18 | Michael Warren\nMay 25 | DVD showing\nJune 1 | Zoom only showing of DVD\n\nDirections\nThe Aptos library is easy to find –> Exit highway 1 at State Park Drive and go north to Soquel Drive. Turn left on Soquel Drive and the library is almost immediately on the right. The address is 7695 Soquel Dr\, Aptos\, CA 95003. There is free parking. \nThe Text\nWe will be using the Pelican edition. If you would like to read please get hold of a copy of this edition because there are differences between different editions. There are two sources for the play\, the second quarto (Q2) of 1604-5 and the first folio (F) of 1623. The folio contains 70 lines not in Q2 and lacks 230 that are in Q2. Most editions combine them in a conflated text\, thus making a long play even longer. The pelican edition does not do that\, but sticks almost entirely to Q2. As a result there will be significant differences between the Pelican edition and an edition that uses a conflated text. \nUnfortunately Bookshop Santa Cruz won’t order copies for the group (unless all copies are paid for in advance). You will therefore need to order a copy yourself. Alternatively you can buy it on Amazon. It is difficult to find the Pelican edition by searching on the Amazon site. Better is to google “Hamlet Pelican Edition Amazon”. \nDonations to Santa Cruz Shakespeare\nOur meetings are free\, but we suggest that members make a contribution to Santa Cruz Shakespeare. \nTo do this you can either make a donation by credit card or send a check payable to Santa Cruz Shakespeare:\nSanta Cruz Shakespeare\n501 Upper Park Rd\nSanta Cruz\, CA 95065 \nIf you send a check\, it would be helpful if you could indicate that this gift is on behalf of the Saturday Shakespeare Group. \nNew Members Wanted\nWe are always looking for new members. Everyone is welcome. If you know of anyone who would be interested in attending these meetings\, please encourage them to do so. Contact saturdayshakespeare@gmail.com to be added to the mailing list. \nNote: It is strongly encouraged to attend in person if you possibly can. The lectures and readings will be much more vivid for those actually present\, and the in-person interactions will restart the social aspect of the group.
