A Busy Day: Noon to 2 pm - Jeannette Hopkins, THE JUGGLER. Through the magic of rhythm, rhyme, and color author Jeanette Hopkins and artist Stormy Mochal capture the delight young readers experience when Henri sets out to learn to juggle . . . just about everything! 2 to 4 pm - Bruce Hopkins, THE TRUTH IN THE RIVERS. Thematically, the book has three distinct sections. The first section considers Howards early life as a young Japanese American student in the 1940s, living in California with his family. The second section of the book entitled Civil Rights addresses the author s experiences as a teacher of Black Studies during the 1960s. Finally, the ending of the book comes full circle, highlighted by the essay and poem “The Woodshed”. 4 to 6 pm - POETRY READING with Francine J. Harris and Michael Delp. The full-length debut from Francine J. Harris, ALLEGIANCE is about Detroit, sort of. Although many of the poems are inspired by and dwell in the spaces of the city, this collection does not revel in any of the cliché cultural tropes normally associated with Detroit. Instead, these poems artfully explore life in a city where order coexists with chaos and much is lost in social and physical breakdown. Michael Delps writing is richly nuanced and sharply imaged with an authenticity that comes only from someone native to Michigan experiences. His engaging portraits of Michigan, its freshwater landscapes, and their many invocations can function as metaphor for larger philosophical and ecological issues.
