April 2016 Poetry at Florey's!

Florey's Books invites you to our ongoing poetry event.

***Saturday, April 30th, 7:30-9:30pm***

The featured poets this month are: Sandra Anfang, Cordelia Leoncio, and Sherri Rose-Walker. The featured poets will be followed by an open mic period. Open mic sign-up is first come, first served. This event is open to the public and free of charge. You are welcome to bring a snack or beverage to share.

From the host, Sherri:

Dear Friends in Poetry,

Today, William Shakespeare's birthday (as near as can be figured), I want to invite you to join us at Florey's Books next Saturday, to celebrate the Bard, and bring down the curtain on National Poetry Month. I hope you've all been doing your part; reading, reciting and writing poetry whenever and wherever possible, and sharing the lovely lilt of language with everyone you know.

For this next poetic evening, Sandra Anfang, Cordelia Leoncio and I will bring touches of sweet harmony to your ears, and I hope you'll bring your own notes of music for open mic (3 minutes, please! I WILL remember to bring the hook this time!). Bring poems inspired by or for William Shakespeare, poems about poems and writing poems, or anything you choose. Please also bring, if you can, some snacks or drinks to grace the table so we can eat and drink together.

Pacifica Book Club: 'Hard Rain Falling', April 26th at Florey's!

Florey's welcomes you to our book club!

***Tuesday, April 26th, 7:30pm-9:00pm***

Come by for a chat about our April book, 'Hard Rain Falling' by Don Carpenter.

Don Carpenter’s Hard Rain Falling is a tough-as-nails account of being down and out, but never down for good—a Dostoyevskian tale of crime, punishment, and the pursuit of an ever-elusive redemption. The novel follows the adventures of Jack Levitt, an orphaned teenager living off his wits in the fleabag hotels and seedy pool halls of Portland, Oregon. Jack befriends Billy Lancing, a young black runaway and pool hustler extraordinaire. A heist gone wrong gets Jack sent to reform school, from which he emerges embittered by abuse and solitary confinement. In the meantime Billy has joined the middle class—married, fathered a son, acquired a business and a mistress. But neither Jack nor Billy can escape their troubled pasts, and they will meet again in San Quentin before their strange double drama comes to a violent and revelatory end.

About the Event:

“Finding You Time" is a fun, interactive workshop that will help you carve out time to pursue your happiness! We all have things we would like to try, learn, explore - but everyone is so busy these days. Where do we find the time? This workshop will show you how to find time for you - in places where you may least expect.

About Ms. Nelson:

Kathleen Nelson is a creativity coach, educator, author and musician. Kathleen has helped people find their bliss (and the time to pursue it) for most of her 20 years of teaching. We all have gifts we are given to develop to share with others in this world. We all have dozens of reasons why we don't - one of the most persistent reasons is we "don't have time".
