DESCRIPTION:Award-winning Berkeley poet RACHEL RICHARDSON and author LAUREN MARKHAM to 
 present their latest works: "Smother: Poems" and "Immemorial". \n\nIn 
 "Smother: Poems", Richardson interrogates the impossible question, How 
 should we raise our children in, and for, a world that is burning? But 
 these are not poems of giving up. Rather, they sing their song of 
 resistance made from the music that is available to us now.\n\nIn a 
 dazzling synthesis of reporting, memoir, and essay, in "Immemorial", 
 Markham reflects on the design and function of memorials, from the 
 traditional to the speculative, in an attempt to reckon with the grief of 
 climate catastrophe.\n\nRACHEL RICHARDSON is the author of "Smother" and 
 two other poetry collections, "Copperhead" and "Hundred-Year Wave". She is 
 the co-founder of Left Margin LIT as well as a former Stegner and NEA 
 Fellow. Her poems have appeared in The Atlantic, The New York Times, The 
 Yale Review, APR, and elsewhere. In 2024 she was named an inaugural 
 Artists-in-Fire Resident through the Confluence Lab, and has completed FFT2 
 wildland firefighter training. She teaches as Distinguished Visiting Writer 
 in the MFA program at St. Mary's College, and lives in Berkeley.\n\nLAUREN 
 MARKHAM is the award-winning author of "Immemorial", "A Map of Future 
 Ruins: On Borders and Belonging", and "The Far Away Brothers: Two Young 
 Migrants and the Making of an American Life". Her essays and reportage 
 regularly appears in outlets such as the Atlantic, Harper's, The New York 
 Review of Books, The New York Times Magazine and VQR, where she is a 
 contributing editor. She teaches writing and has spent over fifteen years 
 working at the intersection of education and immigration. She is currently 
 at work on a novel.\n
