Accidental Presidents author Jared Cohen and Fareed Zakaria at FDR site on Friday The Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum presents a conversation and book-signing on Friday, April 12 with Jared Cohen, author of Accidental Presidents: Eight Men Who Changed America and Fareed Zakaria, host of CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS. The 6 p.m. event is free to attend, but preregistration is required at www.fdrlibrary.org.

Only eight men have come to the office of president without being elected to it, when the incumbent died in office. In Accidental Presidents, Cohen demonstrates how the character of the person in that powerful

seat affects the nation and the world. Of the eight, only Theodore Roosevelt would have been elected in his own right, and only he, Truman, Coolidge and LBJ were reelected.

Writer/arborist William Bryant Logan to read from Sprout Lands Naturalists who can effortlessly combine sound science with sparkling prose are rare indeed, and worth celebrating. Among those living among us today is William Bryant Logan, a certified arborist, New York Botanical Garden faculty member and regular garden writer for The New York Times and other publications. Not only has his writing about trees and other natural wonders won a slew of awards, but he’s also a prominent translator of classic Spanish literature, including works by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, Federico García Lorca and Ramón del Valle-Inclán. His 1995 book Dirt: The Ecstatic Skin of the Earth was made into the documentary film Dirt! The Movie in 2009. Other beloved tomes by this writer/scientist include Oak: The Frame of Civilization and Air: The Restless Shaper of the World.

Logan comes to Oblong Books in Rhinebeck on Thursday, March 28 to talk about his latest volume, Sprout Lands:

Tending the Endless Gift of Trees. The book offers both practical knowledge about how to live with trees to mutual benefit and hope that humans may again learn what the persistence and generosity of trees can teach. Once, farmers knew how to make a living hedge and fed their flocks on tree-branch hay. Rural people knew how to prune hazel to foster abundance: both of edible nuts and of straight, strong, flexible rods for bridges, walls and baskets.

Townspeople cut their beeches to make charcoal to fuel ironworks. Shipwrights shaped oaks to make hulls. No place could prosper without its inhabitants knowing how to cut their trees so they would sprout again. Pruning the trees didn’t destroy them; rather, it created the healthiest, most sustainable and most diverse woodlands that we have ever known.

Discover the mysteries of pollarding, coppicing and other fascinating, millennia-old symbiotic traditions of woodland management from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on March 28 at Oblong Books & Music, located at 6422 Montgomery Street (Route 9) in Rhinebeck. Admission is free. To learn more about Logan’s work, visit www.williambryantlogan.com.

DAVID SEDARIS COMING TO THE BARDAVON

W

hen the dust clears from the still-raging oral history/memoir/ spoken-word renaissance, David Sedaris may well stand as the one to credit or to blame for the whole damn thing. His prose style, vocal inflections and emotional temperament spread memetically through the podsphere and the publishing platforms of the chatty classes, becoming in many ways the default voice of a generation of self-examining storytellers, New Journalists and comedians. In its review of David Sedaris’ new book Calypso, the Washington Post said, “After 25 years and nine essay collections, after publishing 500 pages of his own diary, the most shocking thing David Sedaris can do is reveal that he’s been holding things back.”

Sedaris returns to Poughkeepsie for his annual reading and signing at the Bardavon on Friday, April 25. All tickets cost $49. Members receive a $5 discount.

Peter Galison lectures on “Black Holes, Black Boxes & the Objective Image” at Vassar As its name clearly implies, Vassar’s Science, Technology and Society (STS) program takes an inclusive and interdisciplinary view that inclines it naturally toward the philosophical and cultural consideration of science. But there is plenty of science in their science, too.

On April 4, the STS program welcomes Dr. Peter Galison, who will be delivering this year’s Pauline Newman ’47 Distinguished Lecture on “Black Holes, Black Boxes and the Objective Image.”

Dr. Galison’s CV is a gaudy peacock fan of honors and distinctions, establishing the Joseph Pellegrino University Professor in History of Science and Physics at Harvard University as a rare example of a cutting-edge researcher and theoretician who also renders undiluted science approachable and appreciable to the laity.

He received his 1983 PhD from Harvard in Theoretical High-Energy Physics and in the History of Science. Recently, he co-directed a feature documentary, Containment (2015), about the need to guard radioactive materials (and warn the future) for the 10,000-year future.

He also co-directed Secrecy (2008), on national security secrecy, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. In 1997, he was awarded a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Fellowship; he won a 1998 Pfizer Award for his 1997 Image and Logic: A Material Culture of Microphysics in the History of Science; in 1999 he received the Max Planck and Humboldt Stiftung Prize.

Woodstock Music & Art Fair in 1969

Diving into the Woodstock 50 lineup Headliners include The Killers, Chance the Rapper, Miley Cyrus, Jay-Z, Dead & Company, Imagine Dragons, The Black Keys and Janelle Monáe

E

veryone knew that the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock concert would fall in 2019, that it would be a big deal with multiple players involved and that it would probably come with its share of controversy, conflict, dissension and wrestling over disputed legacies. Par for the course, I suppose, for a concert that didn’t really happen anywhere near the Town of Woodstock.

Mid-Hudson locals, of course, were

completely unsurprised to learn that the still-vital Michael Lang – the highest-profile of the original concert’s founders and the accidental star of the successful motion picture, as notable for his preternatural composure amidst the chaos as for his boyish good looks – was neck-deep in all of it. Beyond that, much remained shrouded in confusion: two competing concerts on the same weekend?

One designed by the original founder and the other held at the original site? Who

owns what? Would it feature the legendary bands and artists of the ’60s, like the original concert, or would it feature the freshest, biggest pop and rock acts of the present, like the original concert? What does Woodstock even mean, 50 years later, to a generation that has its own zeitgeistdefining festivals like, well, Fyre?

The dust has settled and the logistics, at least, are clear.

There will be only one proper anniversary festival: Lang’s Woodstock 50, which will take place not at the venue and museum that now stand on Yasgur’s Farm, but at Watkins Glen, the location of several other less-famous but no-less-populous ’60s bacchanalia. After contemplating (and even announcing) a mega-concert on the very same weekend, the Bethel Center for the Arts has now elected to pass on a monolithic festival, hosting Ringo Starr instead on August 16 and Santana and the Doobie Brothers on August 17, and to distribute its observance of 50 throughout its 2019 programming: a rich run of events, including many celebrations and interrogations of

Woodstock that have little to do with music.

That left only the small matter of the lineup – a lineup that would be examined in every light and from every angle, read like a generational manifesto, analyzed tooth-and-nail by music fans, debated fiercely over whether it honors or disgraces the original. And which would be be tter: honor or disgrace?

Now that the preliminary lineup has been released, Michael Lang’s words about Woodstock 50’s relationship to the original resonate more powerfully and provide some conceptual clarity to those who read it carefully.

“Woodstock 1969 was a reaction by the youth of its time and the conditions we faced,” Lang said. “We proved that it is possible to live together in harmony and with compassion…with only our best selves represented. Woodstock gave people around the world hope, which is why I think it remains relevant today.”

With the hot words in that passage – “of its time…conditions we faced…relevant today” – Lang was signaling the old hippies that, while there would certainly

Lang’s words contained a certain urgent cajoling directed to youth: Take the political and cultural agency of music seriously, like we did.

Put down your phones and make something happen.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

Mar. 28, 2019 be ample provision for nostalgia, guitars and legacy maintenance, Woodstock 50 would be more about replicating the broad cultural function of the original concert than the narrow facts of it. Meanwhile, his words contained a certain urgent cajoling directed to youth: Take the political and cultural agency of music seriously, like we did. Put down your phones and make something happen.

Why would anyone ever doubt that Woodstock 50 would feature pop and rap headliners as well as bands in the earthy tradition of the original? We already have Mountain Jam for a festival in the direct musical legacy of Woodstock. The cultural legacy, on the other hand, dictates that some of the most resonant big-stage artists of the day need to be there, or it can’t be Woodstock.

Whether the curation nails that big target is a matter of opinion. I find the roster to be perfectly acceptable at the very worst. But of this lineup, it can be said: You will see in it what you want to see in it.

Day One is headlined by one of the last stadium guitar-rock bands in the Killers and by one of the first in Santana. Over the last few years Miley Cyrus (why do I always call her Miley Ray Cyrus?) has distinguished herself as f *&*ing weird enough to belong here, by virtue of her elegy for a dead goldfish if for nothing else.

Down the lineup lies a rather wonderful integrated mess of old and new: John Fogerty, Melanie, Robert Plant and John Sebastian hanging in the green tent with Run the Jewels, Akon and Princess Nokia.

Day Two presents the sharpest headliner dichotomy of the weekend, with Dead & Company (perhaps relishing a chance to improve upon their lackluster ’69 set) edging out Chance the Rapper for top billing. You get the idea: This is not an EDM festival and this is not a bluegrass festival. David Crosby was a poignant add, as Woodstock ’69 was the secondever performance by CSNY, and it was a beauty. I wish they all still talked.

Day Three features what I imagine to be the most polarizing headliners in Jay-Z and Imagine Dragons. On the next tier down, we note the exquisite symmetry of two of the most incandescent female talents on the current scene, who come at it from opposite directions: Brandi Carlile and Janelle Monáe. That is killer stuff. Day Three also wins by virtue of the inclusion of the Zombies, revitalized in the 21st century and finally enjoying the years of cultic devotion and obsession that accrued well after their retirement in 1968. The Zombies are in some ways emblematic of the paradoxes of this lineup: It is reverent and it is revisionist.

Come to your own conclusions here: www.woodstock.com.

Chris Botti to perform at UPAC on Friday

A smooth jazz master with a truly global purview, trumpeter/composer Chris Botti is one of the very few pop superstars that the genre has produced. While he always keeps it accessible, singable and user-friendly, there is no denying the man’s musical substance. No one even really tries. Over the past three decades, Botti has recorded and performed with Sting, Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga, Josh Groban, Yo-Yo Ma, Michael Bublé, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, John Mayer, Andrea Bocelli, world’s-greatest violinist Joshua Bell and many more. But it is in his own work as composer, interpreter and bandleader that Botti has emerged as something of a visionary with his wide-ranging, integral fusions of world sounds and Western music.

Stereotypes of smooth jazz be damned, 2012’s Grammy-winning Impressions

THIS WEEKEND!

Northern Dutchess Symphony Orchestra performs “Flight” at CIA

Colony hosts Shana Falana, James Maddock this weekend The weekend moves from ethereal to earthy at Colony in Woodstock. Friday night’s triple bill is headlined by local legend Shana Falana’s heady blend of sonic (and visual) atmospherics, heavy tribal beats and crunchy guitars and unfailingly uplifting pop hooks.

Falana’s frequent associates Sound of Ceres mine a similar a vein with a more electronic bias. The duo recently completed a world tour with dreampop mega-act Beach House. Opening the show is Hiding behind Sound, the songwriting alias of the well-known Hudson Valley drummer Sammi Niss, performing for this show in duo format with Almanac Weekly music critic and Sweet Clementines guitarist John Burdick. Tickets cost $10 in advance and $12 at the door.

On Saturday night, all the sonic glitter and tempo-synched effects from the night

Narrator Gilles Malkine will read from works by Maya Angelou, Walt Whitman and Wendell Berry, among others. Pianist JoAnne Schubert, percussionist Paul Chambers, banjoist Jim Sullivan and guitarist Greg Dinger will accompany the singers in song styles that range from Renaissance to contemporary classical, gospel, pop, spirituals and bluegrass.

Ars Choralis, celebrated for its message to further the common good through music, has been a powerful presence in the Hudson Valley since 1965. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Barbara Pickhardt since 1976, the chorus has received awards for artistic excellence from the Arts Society of Kingston and for community service from the Ulster County YWCA.

The sibling trio Daniel, David and Julia Bailen follow the band-naming convention common among projects that include more than two members of one family. The band surnamed Bailen performs at BSP in Kingston on Thursday, April 4. To date, three singles comprise Bailen’s recorded output: advance samples from their debut, Thrilled to Be Here, due on April 26 on Fantasy Records. Produced by John Congleton (St. Vincent, War on Drugs), the three singles grab your collar with super-high-gloss production and arrangement. Slick and lush sibling harmony abounds, usually supporting Julia’s lead vocals. In terms of aesthetic politics, Bailen live right at the bend on the electro-soul and guitar-pop curve, where St. Vincent and Dirty Projectors made their killings, but bearing a non-contentious, heartbreak-saturated product that probably stands as good a chance in Nashville as in Brooklyn. The local rock session gods and tour junkies Restless Age open, along with the talented Lorkin O’Reilly.

The cast of Us does a terriďŹ c job with the challenge of bringing to life both the core characters and the doubles who threaten them. (Above) Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o as "Red," Adelaide Wilson's doppelganger, in this movie written, produced and directed by Jordan Peele.

California nightmare Jordan Peele delves deeper into horror genre with Us

I

s it mean-spirited to criticize the director of a horror film for failing to scare me, when he has just made a highly professional effort to bring to the screen something that embodies his own personal sense of what’s frightening?

It feels that way sometimes: that, in order to be a fair and impartial judge of cinematic product, this critic needs to dial down her own imperviousness to what many moviegoers reportedly find scary. More specifically, I tend to see humor rather than threat in most of the scenarios typically employed in the horror genre. While a depiction of depraved human cruelty is a likelier bet to unsettle me than, say, some malevolent supernatural entity, even Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs strikes me as funny, in a dark way.

That predilection makes me a tough audience to crack for Jordan Peele’s new feature Us, his follow-up to the wildly successful Get Out (2017). Lots of people are going to adore this movie, and I wish them joy of it.

Alas, it just didn’t work for me – not nearly as well as its predecessor, which was dripping with acid observations about race relations in America.

While the title is meant to suggest “USâ€? (and the doppelgänger b a d d i e s explicitly identify themselves, when asked what exactly they are, as “Americansâ€?), the metaphorical subtext of Us is armchair sociology at best, reminiscent of the aliens = Communists trope in 1950s sci/fi movies.

of a dehumanized, resentful underclass that dwells literally underground has an honorable lineage in popular culture (think of the Morlocks in H. G. Wells’ The Time Machine, or the scruffy social discards of London Below in Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere); but in Us, the explanation of the motivations for the antagonists’ aboveground killing spree is so offhand and undeveloped that it seems almost like an afterthought on the writer/ director’s part. And thinking too hard about what this is all supposed to mean leads one inevitably into a quicksand of myriad plot holes – especially once a notentirely-surprising plot twist is revealed at the end.

Us works far better as a straightforward horror flick than as social commentary, as Peele has said was his intent – again, if genre conventions such as home invasions and evil twins are the sorts of things that make your skin crawl. The director certainly puts his excellent cast through the requisite steps to evoke a sense of menace, ably abetted by Michael Abels’ clever score. Being grounded in sketch comedy, he also can’t resist defusing the tension at intervals with a bit of humor.

Often this takes the form of seeing smart black characters do things that dumb white people are notorious for doing in slasher movies, like going down into that creepy cellar alone. It’s not attempting to deconstruct and subvert the genre in the overt manner of Joss Whedon’s Cabin in the Woods or Edgar Wright’s Shaun of the Dead, but it does manage to get in a few pokes at the clichÊs. Contemporary device-dependent lifestyles also take a

NIGHT SKY

Leaving our galaxy

L

ast week, on the Equinox, we were able to orient ourselves relative to our planet’s tilt. Now let’s think bigger – much bigger.

Our home galaxy, the Milky Way, is so vast that relatively few people have any sense of it. In September, when people living here away from city lights see the creamy glow crossing the entire sky, they can grasp that they’re looking into the vast flat plane of our galaxy’s disk shape as seen from our interior, worm’s-eye perspective. Right now, in the early spring, we are given the opposite orientation.

During this dark moonless week, if you step out into a field or next to a reservoir, so that you can see a large sweep of the night sky, you’ll observe no trace of the Milky Way. That’s because these nights our planet is oriented so that the Galaxy’s flat pancake disk is coincident with the horizon. So, picture the galaxy’s flat plane as an extension of the surface of the lake next to you. The Milky Way’s glow is invisible because it runs along the horizon, around you in all directions, dimmed by the thick air along the skyline.

This means our galaxy’s North Pole should be high overhead. And so it is: High up, especially after 10 p.m., you’ll see the Big Dipper. Its most famous usefulness involves following its two leftmost stars downward as they point to a lonely star of their same medium brightness. This is Polaris, the North Star.

But almost as well-known in Observational Astronomy 101 is to look at the right side of the Big Dipper, its curving handle, and follow its “arc to Arcturus,” spring’s brightest star. Well, pretty close to orange Arcturus lies the north Galactic Pole: the direction that’s 90 degrees from the flat plane of the Milky Way’s disk.

The Big Dipper is very nearly in that same direction. Travel that way and you’re exiting our galaxy in the least amount of time. So, the direction toward the Big Dipper lets you sight through the least amount of foreground Milky Way gas, dust and member stars.

Look Dipperward and you gaze through the clearest window out of our own galaxy and

During this dark moonless week, if you step out into a field or next to a reservoir, so that you can see a large sweep of the night sky, you’ll observe no trace of the Milky Way.

to interviews, was to make a pure genre movie with an ensemble of black actors playing middle-class Californians who, narratively speaking, could be cast in any color. In this he succeeds splendidly. The Wilsons are a family who enjoy beach vacations, whose doofy dad Gabe (Winston Duke) tells doofy dad jokes, whose overprotective mom Adelaide (Lupita Nyong’o) is a retired ballet dancer, whose young teenage daughter Zora (Shahadi Wright Joseph) never takes her nose out of her cellphone except to make sarcastic comments, whose middle-school-aged son Jason (Evan Alex) has attention deficit issues. That they also happen to be people of color should no longer raise any eyebrows over “plausibility.” The movie’s widespread appeal should serve as a potent reminder to studios that black people’s stories can span a broad gamut of experience.

The cast of Us does a terrific job with the challenge of bringing to life both the core characters and the doubles who threaten them. Worthy of special mention, besides Nyong’o, Duke, Wright Joseph and Alex, is the ever-wonderful Elisabeth Moss, who wrings every iota of snark out of her role as Kitty, an unhappily married mother of twins, neighbor and friend to the Wilson family. Although most of the Tethered (Adelaide’s counterpart Red being the exception, for reasons that should not be spoiled) are almost entirely nonverbal, they do have distinct personalities reflecting aspects of the characters to whom they are connected, as befits a story that plays on the archetype of doppelgängers as symbolizing the suppressed darker tendencies of human nature.

If there were an Oscar for Best Choreography, I’d give one to Peele and his ensemble immediately for their remarkably effective use of movement to convey the personas of their doubles. Red’s command of dance moves, assimilated from Adelaide, powerfully informs her fighting skills; Jason’s feral double Pluto travels mainly on all fours like a cross

toward the trillion distant galaxies that comprise the rest of the visible universe.

That’s why the first 1995 Hubble “Deep Field” photograph, when the Space Telescope stared for 100 hours at a single tiny spot in the sky, the size of a sand grain held at arm’s length, it was deliberately taken in this direction, into and beyond the Big Dipper. It’s the quickest way out of here if you don’t want to stop and chat with any aliens.

All of this is most entertaining to watch, even if you’re not, strictly speaking, scared by it to the degree intended. Though I wouldn’t enshrine it in as lofty a cinematic category as Get Out, Us is a well-made movie with plenty of strengths.

The African-American and Latino barbers were interviewed while they tended to their clients, capturing the atmosphere of their business. Interview questions ranged from first experiences and business naming to how they see their establishment witnessing and contributing to community-building.

The evolution of barbershops is an under-recognized history, especially in the Hudson Valley. In the Jim Crow era, black-owned barbershops were safe spaces where African-American men could freely socialize. The tradition remains today in Newburgh, where there are 22 barbershops in just 3.8 square miles.

“Newburgh Barbershops: Shaping Communities” exhibition opens Sunday The Newburgh Community Photo Project (NCPP) hosts an opening reception on Sunday, March 31 at 5 p.m. for “Newburgh Barbershops: Shaping Community.” The unique exhibit, which grew out of another community event called “Barbershop Conversations,” showcases photography and interviews that celebrate nine barbershops and their role as social and community anchors for Newburgh.

The exhibit runs through June 1, with regular hours on Saturdays from noon to 6 p.m. or by appointment. Admission is free and open to the public.

The barbershops were documented by NCPP director Vincent Cianni and NCPP

BOOKS The merits of being invisible Woodstock Bookfest features Akiko Busch at Kleinert this Saturday

W

hat is a reader to make of the curiosities of a writer whose greatest engagement now is with invisibility? This reader should have known by the title of the book, How to Disappear: Notes on Invisibility in a Time of Transparency, that Akiko Busch would drag me down the rabbit hole of the idea of being unseen, into considerations of brain disorders and VR and AR developments, across a terrain of mystical entities who live in rocks and fissures, underwater or up a tree to be actually unseen by others…and leave me with even more questions in the end.

In How to Disappear, Busch proposes that we curate our identity. We engage in multiple networks of information, even reaching a personal level of micro-celebrity in our social media worlds. “There’s this constant drumbeat to make everything public,” she says. “We live to see and be seen.”

She quotes Christopher Lasch, who noted that “Success in our society has to be ratified by publicity.” As the impulse to brand and market a persona has come to dominate human intercourse, particularly among people who frequent their screens more often than they meet in the flesh, there’s another side of being human that has been forgotten.

It’s that impulse to escape notice, to meld into the crowd or the environment, to hide from the spotlight, to be private.

Busch writes that the idea of being unseen, of silently traveling as a spectral presence, has become a rarity. At the extreme, being undetected can be a symbol of prestige, something to be desired. Escaping notice, we can indulge in being autonomous and singular. We can privately maintain our identity, even as we fit in with the immediate social, cultural and environmental landscape. Balancing the two opposing impulses may be vital to our sense of wellbeing.

Busch writes that being ignored can be useful, and that empathy grows when the self disappears (a point right out of the Buddha’s playbook) – although people on the margins of society may experience invisibility in a much less self-actualizing, self-nurturing way. Aging brings on a wholly

new, perhaps unwanted cloak of invisibility.

Whole communities go unnoticed and, therefore, may be excluded from prospering in the game of life. They may be excluded from choosing whether to be seen or not.

In her search to understand what invisibility is and what it means to sentient beings (including some plants) to become invisible, Busch turned to the sciences, to literature, to traveling into foreign cultures and landscapes. She cites interesting facts about animals who can camouflage themselves through crypsis, and describes the Rochester Cloak, and talks about object permanence and a child’s assumption of selfagency as being a milestone of childhood development. She mentions invisible friends and the psychic intimacy of cloistering.

I asked what brought her to this subject.

She answers, “About five years ago, when the kids were out of the house, I went through a repositioning. It’s a time when you start to reconsider who you are. You’re past being a social unit; you began to think of yourself as a broader…At first the subject was speculative. My research was far and wide. So the title didn’t come until I was well down the road.

“I love writing about place – Iceland, a wide New Hampshire lake – but I couldn’t structure the book by place. Lots of [the text] is abstract. And it’s not written chronologically. I knew I would end it with wonder. Wonder is the connective tissue.”

In the book she quotes Scott Grafton: “We have come to the point of viewing ‘self ’ as a process…While we can talk about self in the singular, that singularity is an illusion.”

And from Daniel Gilbert: “The person you are right now is transient.” Busch says, “We think of ourselves as cohesive wholes. But we don’t have a fixed identity. You have this thought that you are who you are.

KIWANIS ICE ARENA

You change. We’re even disappearing from ourselves in this moment.”

Busch discovers that dissolution of the self – the one fixated on her own image – can also be a cause of joy and rapture, as exemplified by people who experience ecstatic seizures or take mind-blotting pharmaceuticals. She quotes Elizabeth Sherman, the woman who took her into the deep: “Diving, I lose me a little bit; I am insignificant, and at the same time, part of something extraordinary.”

And she reminds us of Peter Matthiessen’s admonition to “make no impression.”

“But this is not about checking out, abdicating your responsibility in society,” she says. “It’s about finding your place in the human community and connecting with that greater community. I feel it’s a message, something that people are happy to hear, even millennials.”

Author of The Incidental Steward (a collection of essays about citizen science and stewardship), Geography of Home: Writings on Where We Live, The Uncommon Life of Common Objects: Essays on Design and the Everyday and Nine Ways to Cross a River: Midstream Reflections on Swimming and Getting There from Here, Busch was a contributing editor at Metropolis Magazine for 20 years and has been published in numerous national magazines, newspapers, and exhibition catalogues. She has taught at the University of Hartford and Bennington College and is currently on the faculty at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

She lives in the Hudson Valley and makes it a point to swim across the Hudson River once a year.

Akiko Busch will be onstage at the Kleinert/James Center with Melissa Holbrook Pierson and James Lasdun for the Woodstock Bookfest panel, “New Forms for Personal Stories,” on Saturday, March 30 at 11:30 a.m. Admission costs $15 at the door.

Thursday/Friday, March 28/29 Kicking off with the ever-raucous Story Slam on Thursday night, the weekend offers daylong and half-day intensive workshops on Friday. The lineup of workshop leaders includes NPR host and memoirist Jacki Lyden, teaching “The Art of the Interview”*; teacher and memoirist Beverly Donofrio with “The Art of Crafting Your Memoir”*; agent extraordinaire Lynn Johnston guiding writers through “So, You Want to Get Published?”; author, memoirist, beloved teacher Abigail Thomas with “Just Get Some Work Done”*; and two half-day workshops with singer/songwriter and memoirist Bar Scott’s “Working with Words (When Words are Scary)” and author/ fertility workshop leader Julia Indichova presenting “Birth a Book, Raise Your Voice.” (* indicates sold out) WAMC’s Joe Donahue returns on Friday evening for the Donahue Interview, a regular feature at the Bookfest and one that always highlights an iconic contemporary writer at the top of his or her game. This Friday, Donahue will be talking with Sigrid Nunez, author of the new novel The Friend and recipient of the National Book Award for fiction. Her other works include the novels Salvation City and The Last of Her Kind, and Sempre Susan: A Memoir of Susan Sontag. Nunez has been a recipient of a Whiting Award, the Rome Prize in Literature and a Berlin Prize Fellowship.

Saturday night, Jacki Lyden brings her award-winning interviewing skills to the stage at 8 p.m. in a keynote conversation with Reema Zaman, award-winning writer, speaker, actress and author of the critically acclaimed memoir I Am Yours, a title that has been adopted into the curriculum of several high schools through an Innovation Grant from the Oregon Board of Education.

Lest those schmoozing opportunities be forgotten: Little Bites and Big Libations Cocktail Parties are held not once, but twice. Oriole9 on Tinker Street is the place to be at 6 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday evenings. Tickets cost $25, included with full festival passes.

Sunday, March 31 Breakfast at Joshua’s on Sunday morning is a longstanding tradition, with Bar Scott and Abigail Thomas welcoming a casual conversation. The gathering sets the tone (yes, it often involves some singing!) for the last round of author talks later in the day.

At 11:30 a.m., a special event sponsored

by One Day University will feature Joseph Luzzi, distinguished professor of Literature and Italian at Bard College, in a talk, “The Presidents’ Book Club.”

Professor Luzzi will guide us through a fascinating “Presidents’ Library,” as he

explores the books that shaped six of the most powerful men to occupy the Oval Office. Stating that some of the nation’s most popular presidents shared a common trait – that of being voracious readers – he says, “We can establish a connection between great readers and great leaders.”

From Thomas Jefferson to Barack Obama, the connections between presidential action and presidential reading are shown to be intimately linked, as Luzzi highlights the books that inspired their thoughts and guided their actions.

Last but never least, Frankel’s own panel “Memoir à Go-Go!” convenes at 2 p.m. to delve into the writing of memoirs by authors Jodie Patterson, Emily Bernard and Amanda Stern. Patterson is a social activist, entrepreneur and writer, whose current memoir, The Bold World: A Memoir of Family and Transformation, underscores the author’s remarkable matriarchal lineage. Bernard is a prolific writer and the Julian Lindsay Green & Good Professor of English at the University of Vermont, whose memoir is titled Black Is the Body: Stories from My

Grandmother’s Time, My Mother’s Time and Mine. Stern is the author of 13 books: 11 for children written under pseudonyms, a novel and the memoir Little Panic: Dispatches from an Anxious Life.

Platte Clove Artist-inResidence Program The Catskill Center offers an Artistin-Residence Program every year, open to visual artists, writers, poets, composers, performing artists and environmental researchers who have an affinity for the natural world. Residencies can last up to five days, from Sunday night through Friday evening, from June 17 through October 25. The work produced should foster an appreciation of the environment through the aesthetics of art.

Since the early 19th century and the beginning of the American Landscape movement, the Catskill escarpment has remained an enduring source of artistic inspiration for generations of artists. The residency provides a tranquil and rustic workplace located in the landscape where American landscape art began.

The residency takes place at the Platte Clove cabin, situated at the Catskill Center’s Platte Clove Preserve, near the villages of Tannersville, Hunter and Windham. Artists will reside in a rustic cabin on the edge of 208 wild, pristine acres full of hiking trails, multi-tiered waterfalls and old-growth

Mar. 28, 2019 forests. The cabin is located along Plattekill Creek in a remote section of the Catskills near several popular trailheads; hikers are commonly seen in the area. The nearest grocery store and hospital are seven miles away. It is suggested that applicants have access to a car during the residency.

There is electricity in the cabin, along with a gas-heat stove and cooktop oven, a refrigerator and a telephone. The cabin does not have running water; there is an outhouse behind the building and there are no showers. The cabin has three twin beds on the second floor and a trundle bed on the main floor. Residents are required to bring their own linens and/or a sleeping bag. Local telephone service is provided, but cell service is weak in Platte Clove and there is no Wi-Fi available. Residents are expected to bring their own food, potable water and supplies for their stay. Pets are not allowed. The cabin is not wheelchairaccessible.

A mandatory orientation meeting will be held on Saturday, June 15 with all accepted applicants. There is a $40 fee to apply for the program. The stay in the cabin is free of charge. The application fee includes a one-year membership to the Catskill Center. Applications must be received by April 12. Final decisions are shared in early May.

“In this case,” says Vinck, “our interest began when we realized that so many people are denying the Holocaust. Our objective is to shed light on the subject.” Having served on the boards of Wilderstein Preservation and the Roosevelt-Vanderbilt Historical Associations, and as National Park Service

If you’re looking for someone who’ll always be happy to see you and give you unconditional love forever, look no further! That someone could be waiting for you at Saugerties Animal Shelter. TIGER; very sweet 6-year old brown tabby cat girl who’d make a perfect addition to your loving family.

HOT SHOT; laid back 1-year old gray & white cat boy who likes to watch the world go by. Very, very sweet. LILY; 8-year old cat girl came in naked. She lost most of her fur due to a flea allergy. Hair has mostly grown back. Very sweet. Loves to cuddle. No other pets, please. ATHENA; 2-3 year old sweet, independent, affectionate, opinionated black & white cat girl. She was a wonderful mom & her kittens were all adopted. Now it’s her turn to be loved. LEXI; beautiful tiger cat girl w/a heart of gold! Lexi was adopted, but was bullied by the resident cat, and now finds herself back at the shelter. If you can give this 3-year old sweetheart the quiet, loving home she needs, she will thank you every day! DORIAN; shy, spayed, 2-3 year old female cat who just needs a quiet house to decompress & be loved. Dorian was a lonesome stray. CHARLOTTE; 6-7 yrs old. She was an owner surrender. Low income and they moved out of a bad situation into a rent assisted place. They had no choice. Charlotte is very stressed at the shelter (on meds and calming supplements but she’s still chewing on herself and the walls.. turning in circles holding her tail). Pitty mix. Sweet. Loves people. No other pets, please. SABRINA; 4-year old Hound mix girl. She’s very sweet & affectionate. Pleaseno cats. Dogs- males only & need a “meet & greet”. DEXTER; 8-year old Pit mix, is so stressed at the shelter. His caregivers, whom he loved dearly, surrendered him. If you’d like to adopt an older dog whose heart is broken, please visit Dexter at the shelter.

Dexter needs to be your one and only; please- no children or other pets. Dexter wants to love again and to be loved. Please visit The Town of Saugerties Animal Shelter, 1765 Route 212 (behind the transfer station) to meet these beautiful beings or call (845)679-0339 to answer any questions you may have.
