How do we carry those stories forward? Rosner delves into how we speak about the unspeakable, and how we construct memory and memorials. She explores the echoes of legacies among descendants of holocaust survivors; descendants of Cambodian survivors of the Killing Fields, descendants of African American slaves, descendants of survivors of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, of Armenia, Rwanda, and 9/11. Rosner also examines current brain research, describing the efforts to understand the intergenerational inheritance of trauma, both emotional and physical, as well as the intricacies of remembrance in the aftermath of atrocity. Survivor Café becomes a lens for numerous constructs of memory―from museums and commemorative sites to national reconciliation projects to small-group cross-cultural encounters. Elizabeth Rosner’s novels include The Speed of Light (Ballantine 2001) translated into nine languages, short-listed for France’s Prix Femina, recipient of the Prix France Bleu Gironde, and awarded the Harold Ribalow Prize; Blue Nude (Ballantine 2006), named a Best Book by the San Francisco Chronicle; and Electric City (Counterpoint 2015) named among the best books of 2014 by NPR. Her essays and reviews appear in the New York Times Magazine, Elle, San Francisco Chronicle and many other publications.

JAVIER REGUEIRO AYAHUASCA: Soul Medicine of the Amazon Jungle 2nd edition/revised & expanded and SAN PEDRO HUACHUMA: Opening the Pathways of the Heart LIFESTYLE ENTREPRENEURS PRESS | SPIRITUALITY | SEPTEMBER 2017 In this revised and expanded edition of Ayahuasca: Soul Medicine of the Amazon Jungle, a master of ayahuasca (also known as an ayahuasquero), offers a guide for the ever-increasing number of people who approach this powerful Amazonian rainforest medicine for their own personal healing and development. Indeed, ayahuasca was recently described in The New Yorker as being as ubiquitous as "having a cup of coffee." Here Javier Regueiro provides practical and meaningful advice on how to use it, bridging the cultural gap between native use and the current use of ayahuasca by Westerners. He also shares his extensive knowledge of plant medicine, providing background about the plant, its history, how to engage with it and how to learn through its use. Regueiro includes stories of his own experience of transformation, and stories from many he’s guided over the years. ------ San Pedro (Echinopsis pachanoi), also known in South America as Huachuma, is a psychoactive cactus native to the Andes, but more importantly it’s an ancestral medicine that has been used for millennia for healing and ceremonial purposes. It is sometimes called a master heart opener and emotional healer, and has a very different impact from ayahuasca. In San Pedro Huachuma: Opening the Pathways of the Heart, Javier Regueiro discusses how our Western psychic and psychological make-up differs radically from that of Andeans, and how our needs differ just as much from the needs of Andean inhabitants and their ancestors. Regueiro intends to bridge the cultural gap in ways that honor the wealth of wisdom gathered through centuries and at the same time address our present day state of emotional disconnection and spiritual confusion, which are at the root of most physical, emotional, and mental diseases. -------- Javier Regueiro, a Spanish national who grew up in Switzerland, moved to Peru in 2004 to study Amazonian plant medicine and shamanism and has apprenticed with teachers in the Iquitos and Pucallpa areas. He is a Rebirther, Avatar Master, and a full-time ayahuasquero living in Pisac, Peru, where he created the Ayaruna Center, hosting retreats and conducting healing work. He speaks fluent English, Spanish, French, German and Italian. [email protected] Kleinworks Agency FRANKFURT 2017 Page 3 RICHARD BOCH THE MUDD CLUB FERAL HOUSE | MUSIC | SEPTEMBER 2017 The Mudd Club was a loud, dirty dream with a radical aesthetic born of Punk, No Wave and the celebrity-infused Downtown and East Village art performance and music scene. There was nothing like it and author Richard Boch, who was its doorman during much of its four and a half year run, saw and experienced all of it. The Mudd Club was filled with the famous and soon- to- be famous, from Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jeff Koons, and Robert Rauschenberg to Johnny Rotten, The Hell's Angels, and John Belushi. Marianne Faithful, Talking Heads, Frank Zappa, William Burroughs, are just a few who stepped on stage. This book is a cornucopia of memories, images, and tales of how this famed wicked downtown club acquired a chic, often elitist reputation. The New York Times referred to Richard Boch as making “live or die decisions” as the club's “longtime alpha doorman. Today his is an artist and writer. He is currently editing Bobby Grossman’s Low Fidelity: Still Photographs 1975-1983 and recently contributed a sidebar to Tannenbaum’s Grit and Glamour. DAVID BIESPIEL THE EDUCATION OF A YOUNG POET COUNTERPOINT | MEMOIR | OCTOBER 2017 "Beguiling … Biespiel shows himself to be exhilarated as much by failure as by success … (he) will surely inspire other writers to embrace the bodily character of writing." ―Publishers Weekly starred "Lyrical, affectionate . Graceful reflections on creativity." ―Kirkus "A feast: of language, of memory, and of insights into how one young writer came into his own." ―Patrick Phillips, author of Blood at the Root and Elegy for a Broken Machine This beautifully rendered memoir about creative beginnings, in the vein of Umberto Eco’s classic Confessions of a Young Novelist, offers a moving account of David Biespiel’s awakening to writing and to how language can shape a life. Impelled by the wonder and delight of the imagination, Biespiel, always restless with curiosity and enthusiasm, writes for every creative soul who longs to shape the actions of their world into art and literature. David Biespiel, an award-winning poet and longtime National Book Critics Circle poetry judge, is the author of A Long, High Whistle. He’s written five books of poetry, most recently The Book of Men and Women, named one of the Best Books of the Year by the Poetry Foundation. He writes the Poetry Wire column for The Rumpus. Among his honors are a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in Literature, a Wallace Stegner Fellowship, and a Lannan Fellowship.

  • Addition to Summer Letter
    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.

In the spring of 2012, drawing upon Portland’s ethic of community engagement and creativity, a public call was sent out for brief written expressions of the times that would reflect upon the egalitarian, utilitarian and civic nature of this new infrastructure project. The call requested short lines of text (fifty characters or less) to be painted onto silt fencing during the temporary Art Starts Now phase and then stamped into sidewalk paving during the permanent Impressed Concrete phase. Eleven hundred submissions were received, and one hundred and two of them were selected as “orange lines” for use in the project through a blind-jury selection process.

  • 2014 English Letter
    the English Letter Spring 2014 The School of Writing, Literature, and Film Dear Friends of the School of Writing, Literature, and Film: Two defining moments in the history and identity of English at OSU took place less than a decade apart in the 1960s. Bernard Malamud’s immigrant narrative of transformation, in which “a bearded, fatigued, lonely” English professor from New York arrives in the lush landscape of “Cascadia” (aka Oregon) College, was published as A New Life (1961). And by the mid-sixties, OSU had graduated its first class of English majors. Marking the centenary of Malamud’s birth (1914-2014), as well as 50 years of excellence in writing and the literary arts, the School hosted a gathering of faculty, students, alumni, and community members in the Valley Library Special Collections on April 24 to kick off a multi- year celebration. Organized by the English Student Association and Assistant Professor Lily Sheehan, the event honored Malamud with readings from A New Life and talks by faculty members Neil Davison, J.T. Bushnell, Ehren Pflugfelder, and Ray Malewitz. This year has also been transformative for Moreland Hall. Designed by architect John Beddes in 1917, the exterior of Moreland Hall retains its 1917 façade and Beaux-Arts detail. The interior is being renovated to reflect a twenty-first century outlook on arts and humanities education, student activities and engagement. The remodel has opened up 1600 square feet of atrium space, which will be ready by fall 2014 for exhibitions of faculty and student work, readings, and performances. Renovation has included development of new seminar-style class- Inside: rooms on the 2nd floor; a state-of-the-art writing lab on Moreland’s first floor is also planned.
