13: Chris Belcher & Chloé Cooper Jones (March 23, 2023) Joined by Adam Falkner, Saeed offers an oasis of communion, with the self and with one another, in this standing-room only event. Jones ushers his readers toward the realization that the end of the world is already here-and the apocalypse is a state of being. Greenlight was thrilled to welcome award-winning author and long-time friend of the store Saeed Jones back to our store to celebrate the release of his new poetry collection, Alive at the End of the World. In haunted poems glinting with laughter, pierced by grief and charged with history, Jones explores the public and private betrayals of life as we know it. 14: Saeed Jones & Adam Falkner (March 30, 2023) Despite some technical difficulties, this packed and proud event was still so preciously intimate. Greenlight welcomed Wong for an in-store reading and conversation with award-winning author of A Burning, Megha Majumdar. As humorous as it is profound, Which Side Are You On is a celebration of seeking a life that is both virtuous and fun, an ode to mothering and being mothered. How can we live with integrity and pleasure in this world of police brutality and racism? In author, activist, and our own Brooklyn neighbor Ryan Lee Wong's extraordinary debut novel, an Asian American activist is challenged by his mother to face this question amidst generational change, a mother’s secret, and an activist’s coming-of-age. 15: Ryan Lee Wong & Megha Majumdar (April 6, 2023) Montgomery joined us virtually with James Tate Hill for a conversation exploring writing disability and ways to discover hope and healing amidst emotional and environmental collapse. In her new book Halfway from Home, Montgomery turns to nostalgia as a way to grieve a rapidly-changing world, excavating the stories and scars we bury and unearthing literal and metaphorical childhood time capsules and treasures. Now her family is ravaged by addiction, illness, and poverty the country is increasingly divided and the natural worlds in which she seeks solace are under siege by wildfire, tornadoes, and unrelenting storms.
When she left a chaotic home at eighteen, author Sarah Fawn Montgomery chased restlessness, claiming places on the West Coast, Midwest, and East Coast, while determined never to settle. 16: Sarah Fawn Montgomery & James Tate Hill (April 13, 2023)
