4/2 THURSDAY 7PM, FINCH LANE ART GALLERY — U of U Guest Writers Presents Carolina Ebeid

Join us at Finch Lane Art Gallery for a reading and discussion of Hide: Poems, a reinvention of visual poetry and personal history charting exile’s impact on memory, identity, and futurity. Intellectual and intimate, Carolina Ebeid's Hide gathers shreds of memory, dream, and the ordinary artifacts of diaspora, as the poet casts a sounding line into her patrilineal and matrilineal histories in Palestine and Cuba. With the hum of cassettes and the glow of projectors, these poems superimpose voice upon voice, image upon image, a here upon a there, to disclose the choral noise inside post memory.

Books will be available for purchase.

Carolina Ebeid is a multimedia poet. She is the author of You Ask Me to Talk About the Interior and the chapbook Dauerwunder: a brief record of facts. Her next book Hide is forthcoming from Graywolf Press in winter of 2026. Her work has been supported by the Stadler Center for Poetry at Bucknell University, Bread Loaf, CantoMundo, the NEA, and a residency fellowship from the Lannan Foundation.

4/7 TUESDAY 10AM — Breakfast Club

Join us for a literary Kaffeeklatsch! Books, coffee, snacks, and chats every Tuesday morning in the Happy Camper Deli on the first floor across from our store.

Join author Taira Soo for a reading and conversation about her debut memoir Just a Little Buzzed, moderated by writer and broadcaster Mary Dickson.

More than a story about illness, Just a Little Buzzed explores the space between who you were and who you are becoming. Soo and Dickson will discuss identity, reinvention, and the unexpected paths that shape a life.

Taira Soo is a writer, performer, and creative director. Her debut memoir, Just a Little Buzzed, explores identity, illness, and reinvention. She is the founder of the independent imprint split & type.

4/14 TUESDAY 10AM — Breakfast Club

4/16 THURSDAY 6:30PM — Sasha Abramsky - American Carnage: How Trump, Musk and Doge Butchered the U.S. Government

Join us in store for a reading and discussion of Sasha Abramsky's American Carnage, the first book-length reckoning with the consequences of Donald Trump’s war on the so-called "deep state," told through the experiences of eleven fired federal workers as their lives are thrown into chaos. Their stories, which show a country in a profound moment of crisis and dislocation, are America’s stories. What happened to them — the bullying, the intimidation, the deliberate removal of financial stability — also happened to hundreds of thousands of other employees.

There will be a book signing following the event.

Sasha Abramsky is The Nation's Western correspondent and the author of a weekly political column for the magazine. His work has also appeared in The Atlantic, The New Yorker Online, The New Republic, The Village Voice, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, and many other publications. He is the author of eleven books, including The American Way of Poverty: How the Other Half Still Lives, The House of Twenty Thousand Books, Little Wonder: The Fabulous Story of Lottie Dod, the World's First Female Sports Superstar, and Chaos Comes Calling: The Battle Against the Far-Right Takeover of Small-Town America. Abramsky teaches writing at UC Davis.
