SUMMARY:Poetry book group – Independent Bookshop Week
DESCRIPTION:For Independent Bookshop Week\, we have partnered with publisher And Other Stories. \nPoetry book club! Come along to discuss poetry collection\, Pitch & Glint by Lutz Seiler\, translated by Stefan Tobler. This is a particularly special occasion as publisher and translator Stefan will be joining us for the discussion.   \nOn its original publication in 2000\, Pitch & Glint was widely hailed as a landmark in German poetry. Rooted in Seiler’s childhood home\, an East German village brutally undermined by Soviet Russian uranium extraction\, these propulsive poems are highly personal\, porous\, twisting\, cadenced\, cryptic and earthy\, traversing the rural sidelines of European history with undeniable evocative force. The frailty of bodies\, a nearness to materials and manual work\, the unknowability of our parents’ suffering\, and ultimately the loss of childhood innocence\, all loom large in poems where sound comes first. \nAs Seiler says in an essay\, ‘You recognise the song by its sound. The sound forms in the instrument we ourselves have become over time. Before every poem comes the story that we have lived. The poem catches the sound of it. Rather than narrating the story\, it narrates its sound.’ \nWe’ll meet at 6.30 in the upstairs private room of The Albion pub. (Note the venue change for this one – we are meeting at The Albion.) \nTo sign up\, pop in and buy a copy of Pitch & Glint or let us know if you need this delivered to you. If you already have a copy\, we just ask that you buy a different book published by And Other Stories… how about some poetry featuring an angel rescuing an accountant from hell? \nFrom July\, we plan to keep running a poetry group. Do let us know if you are interested.

SUMMARY:Short fiction book group – Independent Bookshop Week
DESCRIPTION:For Independent Bookshop Week\, we have partnered with publisher And Other Stories. \nJoin us for a discussion of one our favourite short story collections\, Black Vodka by Deborah Levy.  \n‘Elisa said Yes and I said Yes. We said Yes in all the European languages. Yes. We said yes we said yes\, yes to vague but powerful things\, we said yes to hope which has to be vague\, we said yes to love which is always blind\, we smiled and said yes without blinking.’ (‘A Better Way to Live’) \nHow does love change us? And how do we change ourselves for love – or for lack of it? Ten stories by acclaimed author Deborah Levy explore these delicate\, impossible questions. In Vienna\, an icy woman seduces a broken man; in London\, a bird mimics an old-fashioned telephone; in adland\, a sleek copywriter becomes a kind of shaman. These are twenty-first century lives dissected with razor-sharp humour and curiosity\, stories about what it means to live and love\, together and alone. \nWe’ll meet at 6.30 in the upstairs private room of The Lansdown pub. \nTo sign up\, pop in and buy a copy of Black Vodka or let us know if you need this delivered to you. If you already have a copy\, we just ask that you buy a different book published by And Other Stories… have you read Boulder yet? You must. \nFrom July\, we plan to keep running a short fiction book group – discussing both short stories and novellas. Do let us know if you are interested.

SUMMARY:Julian Baggini Faces The Music
DESCRIPTION:Heron Books is delighted to support the Bristol Humanists’ summer solstice fundraiser and social. \nThe forces of Julian Baggini\, philosopher and writer\, combine with the musical talent of Inivisible Apples. \nCome and have fun\, listen to great music\, drink\, eat and chat and raise money for two very worthy causes. The Invisible Apples will play 2 unplugged sets from their album ‘The Golden Threads and Invisible Lights of Duka’\, and in between will be ‘in conversation’ with Julian Baggini about their collaboration\, how they create their work and why humans create music. \nInvisible Apples are a jazz duo\, comprising legendary Bristol pianist JOHN BAGGOTT\, best-known for his work with the likes of Portishead\, Massive Attack\, and most recently Robert Plant\, and PETE JUDGE on flugelhorn. Pete will be familiar from a host of leftfield contexts\, such as the mighty Get the Blessing and acoustic multi-instrumentalists Three Cane Whale. Together\, they have developed a unique rapport as an acoustic jazz duo\, with an approach that is spiritual\, passionate\, exploratory and meditative. The dexterity of John’s piano playing finds its perfect foil in Pete’s unmistakable plangency. They will play music from their album ‘The Golden Threads and Mystic Lights of Duka’\, and some other favourites too. \nJULIAN BAGGINI has written on various philosophical subjects including rationality\, identity\, food and atheism. He has written numerous books\, and regularly writes for magazines and newspapers including\, Prospect\, the Guardian\, the FT and the Wall Street Journal. At St Georges\, Bristol he hosts a regular public philosophy session ‘Philosophical Times’. He is a patron of Humanists UK. Julian has an abiding interest in creativity\, and has explored with musicians and others how they go about creating their art and what it means. Julian will be in conversation with Pete & John about their collaboration\, how they create their work\, and maybe even\, why humans create music & what the point of it is! \nWe will provide a bookstall selling Julian’s books. Invisible Apples CD will be on sale too. \nAll proceeds will go to Faith to Faithless* helpline and UNICEF Gaza Appeal. All presenters have waived their fees. \n* Faith to Faithless Helpline\, recently launched by Humanists UK supports people leaving high-control religions \nBuy your tickets from: https://www.wegottickets.com/event/616767

SUMMARY:Dave Mountjoy: Being With Cows
DESCRIPTION:How Nature Can Heal\n  \nJoin us for the launch of Being With Cows by Dave Mountjoy\n  \nBeing with Cows tells the heartbreaking\, heartfelt\, and ultimately\, transformational story of how one man\, shattered by the sudden death of his brother\, was helped to a place of acceptance and quiet joy through the presence and gentle stillness of his cows. It was a healing so deep and complete\, that he realised others would benefit from his experience and the idea for the ‘Being with Cows’ retreats was born; a retreat where everyone can benefit from ‘cowfulness’ and the quiet journey to a simpler way of being. \nAn inspirational story about grief\, family\, mindfulness and the healing power of nature\, Being with Cows is for anyone in search of inner peace and simplicity in an increasingly complex world. \nDave Mountjoy was born in rural Worcestershire in the UK and spent most of his childhood on his mum’s family farm. After leaving school\, he developed a passion for travel\, taking him to Israel\, Uganda and on explorations around the British Isles. Working as a volunteer for the RSPB\, his love and gratitude for the sheer majesty of the natural world was deepened by stays on nature reserves in England\, Scotland and Wales. He lives on a farm in the French Pyrenees with his partner Diana and their two boys. \nThe event will be chaired by Gill Farrer-Halls of The Literary Consultancy. \nTickets are free; please book to reserve your place below. \nYou can preorder the book here.\nBooks will be available for collection and signing at the event. \n

SUMMARY:Phoebe Stuckes and Rose Ruane – Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to launch Birding by Rose Ruane and Dead Animals by Phoebe Stuckes\n18.30\, Friday 10 May\, in the Clifton Arcade \nHeron Books is thrilled to host Phoebe Stuckes and Rose Ruane to celebrate their debut novels. We are huge fans of their writing – we’ve been lucky enough to read advance copies of their brilliant books – and can’t wait to hear from the authors themselves.\nPhoebe and Rose will be in conversation with Ash Bond\, author of Peregrine Quinn and the Cosmic Realm. \nDead Animals by Phoebe Stuckes \nThere is something creeping at the edge of your vision\, lingering somewhere just out of focus. All it would take is to let your mind wander\, to let it come into view. A young woman wakes after a house party with scratches and bruises – and a gap in her memory. \nAs the violent truth comes back to her – a series of events she struggles to name – her anger grows. Solace comes in the form of enigmatic\, captivating Helene\, who knows what the man at the party did\, has suffered at his hands too. An act of violence demands one in return and Helene is planning revenge. \nBut who can afford to ask for justice\, when the cost is murderously high? \nBirding by Rose Ruane \nIn a small seaside town\, autumn is edging into winter\, gulls ride winds over the waves\, and two women pass each other on the promenade\, as yet unaware of each other’s existence. In the nineties Lydia was a teen pop star\, posed half naked on billboards everywhere with a lollipop between her lips and no idea how to live\, letting the world happen to her. Now\, three decades later\, Lydia is less and less sure that what happened to her was in the least bit okay. The news cycle runs hot with #MeToo stories\, and a famous former lover has emerged with a self-serving apology\, asking her to forgive him. Suddenly\, the past is full of trapdoors she is desperately trying not to fall through. \nJoyce\, in middle age\, has never left home.She still lives with her mother Betty. With their matching dresses\, identical hairdos and makeup\, they are the local oddballs. Theirs is a life of unerring routine: the shops\, biscuits served on bone china plates\, dressing up for a gin and tonic on Saturday. Nice things. One misstep from Joyce can ruin Betty’s day; so Joyce treads carefully. She has never let herself think about a different kind of life. \nWith mordant wit and lyrical prose\, Birding asks if we can ever see ourselves clearly or if we are always the unreliable narrators of our own experiences. It is a story about the difference between responsibility and obligation\, unhealthy relationships and abusive ones\, third acts and last chances\, and two women trying to take flight on clipped wings. \nTickets include a glass of wine on arrival. Tickets are £5 or free with the purchase of Birding and/or Dead Animals.\nTickets are fully redeemable against buying the books on the night.\nBook orders will be available to collect and get signed on the night.

SUMMARY:Caribbean Nights - Lyra Poetry Festival
DESCRIPTION:Heron Books will be bookselling at this fascinating event\, part of the Lyra Poetry Festival \nhttps://www.watershed.co.uk/whatson/12523/caribbean-nights-poetry \nIn the 1980s the UK had little idea of the wealth of poetry coming from the Caribbean. In 1986\, the BBC’s thought-provoking Arena film Caribbean Nights: Poetry changed all that. \nThe film features Trinidadian intellectual Darcus Howe chairing an illuminating discussion with St Lucian poet Derek Walcott (1992 Nobel Prize for Literature)\, pioneering British-Jamaican reggae poet Linton Kwesi Johnson and emerging British-Guyanese poet Fred D’Aguiar. \nFollowed by a talk with poet and editor Rishi Dastidar\, 2023 TS Eliot Prize winner Anthony Joseph\, Louisa Adjoa Parker\, and Bristol academic Madhu Krishnan. \nHelen Thomas will then read a new poem inspired by the film.

SUMMARY:Chris French: The Science of Weird S**t!
DESCRIPTION:Why our minds conjure the paranormal \nWhat better way to mark All Fools Day (no\, this is not an April Fool) than an event that seeks to debunk the myths around the paranormal? \nThis event is organised by Bristol Humanists\, with Heron Books providing the bookstall. \nEver since records began\, in every known society\, a substantial proportion of people have reported unusual experiences\, often labelled ‘paranormal’. Opinion polls show that the majority of the public accept that paranormal phenomena do occur. This widespread belief can only mean one of 2 things. Either the paranormal is real or else belief in the paranormal can be explained psychologically. \nGhostly encounters\, alien abduction\, reincarnation\, talking to the dead\, UFO sightings\, inexplicable coincidences\, out-of-body and near-death experiences. Are these legitimate phenomena? If not\, then how should we go about understanding them? Chris French investigates paranormal claims to discover what lurks behind this “weird s**t.”\nIn the Science of Weird S**t he will debunk ESP\, communicating with the dead\, and alien abduction claims\, among other phenomena. All the while\, however\, he says that our belief in such phenomena is neither ridiculous nor trivial; if anything\, such claims can tell us a great deal about the human mind if we pay them the attention they are due. \nChris French is Emeritus Professor and Head of the Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit in the Psychology Department at Goldsmiths\, University of London. He is a Fellow of the British Psychological Society and of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry and a Patron of Humanists UK. He has published well over 150 articles and chapters covering a wide range of topics. His main current area of research is the psychology of paranormal beliefs and anomalous experiences. He frequently appears on radio and television casting a sceptical eye over paranormal claims. His most recent book\, to be published in March 2024 by MIT Press\, is The Science of Weird S**t: Why Our Minds Conjure the Paranormal. \nEveryone is welcome to attend. Bristol Humanists’ events are FREE to members; they ask others to make a contribution of £3/£1. You can join Bristol Humanists here https://www.bristolhumanists.com/membership and for more information on Bristol Humanists https://www.bristolhumanists.com/

SUMMARY:Dancing in the Shallows - Clare Reddaway
DESCRIPTION:Clare Reddaway launches her gorgeous and gentle novel\, Dancing in the Shallows at the Clifton Library. \n6.30 for a 7pm start. All details in the link below. We are so looking forward to hearing from Clare about the book and will have a bookstall at the event. \n‘She’s had this feeling before. This feeling of marking time. Of pressing her nose against a window and watching as everyone else lives their best lives.’Isla Wintergreen has not seen her grandfather since she was seven\, but when she unexpectedly inherits his cottage on the Isle of Skye\, she cannot resist the opportunity to escape her purposeless life. \nAs she slowly becomes a part of the island community\, she learns more about the family she never really knew – from her estranged father\, to her reclusive grandfather\, and her intelligent but oppressed great-grandmother. Meanwhile\, her mother Cathy reflects on her own past. Mother and daughter both hope to find new freedom – but can family patterns ever really be broken?Told through the lives of four generations of Isla’s family\, all linked by their connection to water\, ‘Dancing in the Shallows’ masterfully explores family relationships and generational inheritance.

SUMMARY:Bristol Humanists Author Event - Anil Seth
DESCRIPTION:Darwin Day Lecture \nBeing You: the new science of consciousness with Professor Anil Seth \n‘Human consciousness is just about the last surviving mystery’\, so said philosopher Daniel Dennett. \nSomehow\, within each of our brains\, billions of neurons work to create our conscious experience. How does this happen? And why do we experience life in the first person? Charles Darwin reasoned that there is a unity of all living things. That unity\, he reckoned\, applies not just to bodies but also to minds. Scientists continue to debate the question of exactly how the brain (a biological organ) gives rise to a mind (with its intangible mental processes). \nAnil Seth will open up some of these ideas in his exploration of being you. He will challenge your understanding of perception and reality\, and turn what you thought you knew about yourself\, on its head. World-renowned neuroscientist Seth puts forward a radical new theory of consciousness and self. \nFull details: https://www.meetup.com/bristol-humanists/events/297640024/\nTickets: https://www.wegottickets.com/event/604068
