If you missed the Powell's reading a few weeks back, as I did, never fear. You can head for In Other Words on Wednesday, June 25th @ 7 PM and catch local mama Shari MacDonald Strong read from the new anthology she edited, The Maternal is Political. I've only made it through a few of the pieces, but I'm impressed so far. Shari's piece, Raising Boys In A Time of War, is definitely worth a read, both for its style and content. In fact, that's the piece we'll start our online discussion series next week. We aim to read an essay a week (or so) and talk about it here on Activistas. As a teaser, here's how Shari starts her piece:
During the summer before the 2004 election, I taught my children to call out "Peace!" when I asked, "What do we want?" and "Now!" when I prompted "When do we want it?"
Info on all her readings is posted on LiteraryMama, where she's a senior editor. See you on the 25th!
