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
