Lunch with Peter Geye Peter Geye’s latest book, A Lesser Light, is historical fiction set at Split Rock Lighthouse! Join us for lunch with Peter and hear about his inspiration for writing the book, as well as his process—and ask him any questions you may have. We’ll be in the party room at the Good Life Café for this ticketed event. Cost will be $20 and will include lunch and a presentation by Peter. Books will be available for sale—and if you’ve already purchased one from us, you’re welcome to bring it along to be signed. Tickets will be available at the store. Here's a link to an interview Peter did in May (it’s not a spoiler—he’ll have different things to say to us.)

Free Park & Ride Ifyou want to shop, dine, and take in 2nd St. Stage Downtown, but don't want to drive around looking for a parking spot, the Downtown Business Association (which we're part of) has a solution. The Heartland Express bus will pick you up and bring you back to the CHI St. Joseph's Health parking lot at South Main Avenue and 8th Street. Hint: we're open until 5:30, so you'll want to stop in at the bookstore first! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

A Rebellion of Care
David Gate
David Gate's debut collection of poetry, A Rebellion of Care, is due out July 15. From the publisher: "A Rebellion of Care is a moving manifesto in poems and essays, inviting readers to embrace their humanity and live fully alive in our age of social change, hyper-capitalism, and pervasive loneliness." Here is a very small sample of Gate's work:
yes, everyone is struggling right now
so please be gracious
be kind & patient, but subvert
every institution that relies on our suffering
The first poem in the collection is titled "A Manifesto for a Rebellion of Care" and sets up the reader for the rest of the collection, which is the encouragement you need right now (even if you don't know you need it.) These are poems for the folks that think they don't read poetry because they don't get it—you'll get these, I promise, and you'll feel better for having read them. Hopefully you'll share them with someone else who will feel better and so on and so forth. If I still haven't convinced you to give this collection a read, check out the poet's website to get a sense of who he is.
P.S. Once I do convince you........make sure you read the author's introduction to the collection.
