SUMMARY:SUTRA by Deborah Tomlin
DESCRIPTION:In 2022\, Deborah Tomlin was diagnosed with breast cancer from a routine mammogram. She underwent treatment\, which consisted of three different surgeries including a bilateral mastectomy. In SUTRA\, Tomlin chooses to paint her scars and unfamiliar body and to examine the healing process through her art. As Audre Lorde expresses\, in The Cancer Journals\, “Any woman who has had a breast removed because of cancer knows she does not feel the same. But we are allowed no psychic time or space to examine what our true feelings are\, to make them our own. With quick cosmetic reassurance\, we are told that our feelings are not important\, our appearance is all\, the sum total of self.” \nThe title SUTRA in sanskrit means to stitch\, to mend\, to bring together\, to heal. This body of work drew Tomlin to a more abstract approach to painting and drawing including the layering of collage materials and stitching directly on the canvas. Text based on comments by doctors and friends during her treatment is also significant to this work. Painting on top of overflowing and overlapping text expresses Tomlin’s grief and anger. Stitching directly on the canvas with yarn and thread reframes her sutures and scars through the lens of darning and mending\, traditionally women’s work\, transforming an object ripped and torn into a material stronger and more beautiful by the act of repair. \nVisit The Writer’s Center for open hours.

This February\, we will be discussing Everyone is Lying to You by Jo Piazza. \nLizzie and Bex were best friends in college. After graduation\, Bex vanished\, leaving Lizzie confused and devastated. \nFifteen years later\, Bex is now Rebecca Sommers\, a “traditional” Instagram influencer with millions of followers who salivate over her perfect life on her ranch with her five children and handsome husband\, Gray. Lizzie is a struggling magazine writer\, watching reels while her young children demand her attention. \nOne night out of the blue\, Bex calls Lizzie with a career-making proposition–an exclusive interview with her about her multimillion-dollar business venture and an invitation to MomBomb\, the high-profile influencing conference. \nAt the conference\, Bex goes missing and Gray is found brutally murdered on their ranch. Lizzie finds herself plunged into the dark side of the cutthroat world of social media that includes jealousy\, sordid affairs\, swingers\, and backstabbing. She must learn who her old friend has become and who she has double-crossed to try to find her\, clear her name\, and maybe even save her life. \nCopies of the book can be picked up at the front desk at the Connie Morella Library\, or you can borrow a digital copy from our online collection here.

SUMMARY:The Life and Legacy of Reverend Josiah Henson
DESCRIPTION:Enslaved; Abolitionist; Methodist Preacher; Underground Railroad conductor; Founder of the Dawn Settlement; Entrepreneur; Author. Presented by the Josiah Henson Museum and Park in Montgomery County. \nJosiah Henson\, born into slavery and scarred by brutal abuse\, overcame illiteracy and physical hardship to gain his freedom\, learn to read\, and become a Methodist preacher and community leader. A man of unwavering moral principles\, he repeatedly returned to the United States via the Underground Railroad to help fugitives settle in Canada\, founded the Dawn Settlement\, and published an 1849 autobiography that inspired Uncle Tom’s Cabin. His story profoundly influenced the abolitionist movement; Abraham Lincoln even credited Henson’s narrative\, alongside Uncle Tom\, as a catalyst for the Civil War. Henson traveled internationally to raise funds\, met Queen Victoria and U.S. President Hayes\, and devoted his later years to advancing education until his death.

SUMMARY:"Our Earth" Book Discussion Club
DESCRIPTION:Come\, share your ideas and learn more about environmental topics in this space for thoughtful exchange\, around fiction and non-fiction books. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nStarting from a common base to have real discussions about the environment\, this book discussion club is a great way to deepen ideas\, have respectful debates while listening to the points of view of others and broaden our understanding and vision on this important topic. Together\, we may discover new forms of commitment and imagine new sustainable and desirable horizons. \nThis month’s selection is Falter: has the human game begun to play itself out\, by Bill McKibben. “Thirty years ago Bill McKibben offered one of the earliest warnings about climate change. Now he broadens the warning: the entire human game\, he suggests\, has begun to play itself out. Bill McKibben’s groundbreaking book The End of Nature — issued in dozens of languages and long regarded as a classic — was the first book to alert us to global warming. But the danger is broader than that: even as climate change shrinks the space where our civilization can exist\, new technologies like artificial intelligence and robotics threaten to bleach away the variety of human experience. Falter tells the story of these converging trends and of the ideological fervor that keeps us from bringing them under control. And then\, drawing on McKibben’s experience in building 350.org\, the first truly global citizens movement to combat climate change\, it offers some possible ways out of the trap. We’re at a bleak moment in human history — and we’ll either confront that bleakness or watch the civilization our forebears built slip away. Falter is a powerful and sobering call to arms\, to save not only our planet but also our humanity.” — Provided by publisher. \nA limited number of copies will be available at the Check Out Desk.
