Event Details

Join noted poet Azure Antoinette as she looks back at her 2018 collection of poetry—Whyld: a write of passage—and brings today's injustices into focus. NOIR: a 20/20 Experience is a discussion about history and how it repeats. Brutality at the hands of law enforcement, inequity in the criminal justice system and the 2020 aftermath of George Floyd's death will be a part of this dialog.

Attendees will receive a copy of Whyld: a write of passage, while supplies last, as part of our Books for Good Trouble: Social Justice Dialogues programming series. These dialogs encourage discussion of local community concerns and connects books, creators and encourages positive changes in our neighborhoods.

The Books for Good Trouble programming series is supported in whole or in part by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, administered in California by the State Librarian.
