SUMMARY:The Y Family (The Y Knots) Saturday Storytime
DESCRIPTION:Join us as The Y Family reads from their book\, The Y Knots! \nRSVP \nAbout the Book \n“We are the Ys!” \nThis delightful family of four is split into two distinct pairs: those who ask “why” and those whose antics generate the question. The younger Ys spend much of their days creating the most amazing adventures at home by using their powers of imagination. With nothing more than the household items surrounding them\, a simple room can be transformed into a seaworthy pirate ship\, a hands-in-the-air rock concert\, or even an underwater exploration. The older Ys struggle to understand the reasoning behind the little Ys’ massive messes\, often creating knots in their plans\, but they soon begin to catch on and play along too. \nThe Y Knots is an imaginatively playful and thought-provoking book filled with silliness\, laughs\, and relatable moments\, and it’s impossible not to love. Eye-catching illustrations and real-life examples pulled from the author’s day-to-day family experiences come together to form a story enveloped with curiosities. When parents are stuck on the “what if” worry\, this lovable tale is here to answer with a “why not\,” which is exactly what you might find yourself saying on your OWN next adventure! \nAbout the Authors \nThe “Y” family lives on a magical country piece of property in Ashford\, Connecticut. They enjoy outdoor adventures with their two Bernedoodle pups\, Finn and Kota\, and are a puzzle and board game enthusiast group of people. They are real-life “Y” characters\, constantly asking why and always teaching one another something new. They face each day by focusing on the positives and surrounding themselves with the people whom they love. They have many Y series stories to tell and cannot wait to share them with the world!

SUMMARY:Ian A. Lane (Pain\, Power & Pride) Author Talk and Signing
DESCRIPTION:Bank Square Books presents an author talk and signing with Ian A. Lane for the book\, Pain\, Power & Pride: Evidence-Based Strategies for Living Fully Despite Persistent Pain. \nRegister \nAbout the Book \nLiving with persistent pain can be isolating and disempowering\, especially when personal identity\, stigma\, and healthcare biases change how pain is experienced and treated for some people. Pain\, Power\, and Pride is a science-driven\, affirming guide to reclaiming agency and living fully despite chronic pain. \nWritten by nursing epidemiologist and pain scientist\, Dr. Ian A. Lane\, this book integrates contemporary pain science with LGBTQ+ health equity\, exploring how bio-\, psycho- and social contexts intersect to influence pain experiences. Rather than offering quick fixes\, it provides practical\, evidence-based strategies for understanding pain self-management\, navigating healthcare visits\, strengthening communication\, and building sustainable coping and self-regulatory skills. \nDesigned for queer people living with pain\, their families and chosen families\, and the clinicians who care for them\, Pain\, Power\, and Pride bridges research and real-world application. Grounded in science and centered on inclusion\, this book reframes pain as a complex human experience deserving of respect and effective\, personalized support. \nPain does not define you. Agency\, knowledge\, and pride can help guide the way forward. \nAbout the Author \nIan A. Lane is a nursing epidemiologist and clinical pain scientist whose research focuses on the causes and consequences of pain and behavioral health conditions among queer young people. He is one of a small number of researchers worldwide dedicated to this area of study and is the author of Pain\, Power & Pride: Evidence-Based Strategies for Living Fully Despite Persistent Pain\, the first and only available book devoted exclusively to pain disparities affecting LGBT people and what might be done about them. In addition to his scholarship\, Dr. Lane serves as an academic nurse leader in Rhode Island\, with joint appointments at Brown University and Providence College. Beyond his academic work\, he enjoys spending time with his husband\, Zachary\, and training their two Mini Hippo Dogs\, Finn & Rhody.

SUMMARY:Elena Imbimbo (Disturbing the Curse) Author Talk and Signing
DESCRIPTION:Bank Square Books presents an author talk and signing with Elena Imbimbo for her book\, Disturbing the Curse. Elena will be in conversation with J.L. Willow \nRegister \nAbout the Book \nAlice Carta went to Canada to leave her bad memories of London behind for good. An archaeologist by trade\, she chose a job in a library in a tiny\, remote town in Nova Scotia. A peaceful\, sleepy village with a view of the bay\, in which she could process difficult emotions without anyone bothering her. She adopted a companion\, a German Shepherd named Boldy\, and settled in for a reclusive chapter in her life. \nThen she found the body. Boldy discovers a man’s body half-buried in the snow\, which pulls Alice into close relationship with the local Chief Constable’s office. Against everything in her\, Alice gets swept into a baffling whirlwind of intrigue\, arson\, deception and murder. When Philip\, her friend and co-conspirator from London shows up unexpectedly\, the two find themselves trying to unravel a case of stolen artifacts\, hidden identities and a decades-old curse. \nA secret bunker in the library holds clues to a World War II alliance between two local men–long dead–which may prove to be at the core of all the mystery. Alice and Philip play their own cards\, while pretending to be fully on board with law enforcement\, and also keeping close to their civilian contacts. When it seems that everyone in the town of Steep Ridge might be complicit\, the pair rush to solve the murders before they join the body count. \nAbout the Author \nElena is a researcher and analyst specializing in conflict prevention and resolution. She holds a degree in Russian Language and Literature as well as an MA in International Journalism. She is also a writer and serves as co-executive director of a local CERT\, a volunteer organization that supports emergency services. Born and raised in Italy\, Elena now lives in the United States with her husband and children. \nAbout J.L. Willow \nJ. L. Willow is the author of several works including the Amazon bestselling novel Missing Her. She graduated from Stevens Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Engineering in mechanical engineering and a minor in engineering management. While she spends her days working in her field of study\, her nights are spent dreaming up new thrilling (and often horrifying)\ntales.

SUMMARY:Ange Mlinko (Foxglovewise) James Merrill Fellow Reading
DESCRIPTION:Bank Square Books and The James Merrill House present an author talk and reading with fellow\, Ange Mlinko. \nRegister \nAbout the Book \nAnge Mlinko\, whose poetry is “irresistible” (Los Angeles Review of Books)\, opens our perception of other lives\, or lives unlived. \nFoxglovewise is\, at its core\, a response to the singular experience of the loss of one’s parents. It begins at an Eastern Orthodox Epiphany ritual in Florida and ends in a cemetery in Los Angeles. Yet\, as with Ange Mlinko’s other books of poetry\, the collection uses geography as a trope for the ways in which we try to map out our lives and make them legible\, even as poetry\, music\, and paintings suggest that much of what happens\, or matters\, to us is “not on the maps” (not to mention “the apps”). Whether it’s Europa borne over the waves\, or gravestones bearing aliases rather than birth names\, or books bequeathed to us by relatives in languages we can’t read\, we live “up in the air” or “on the wing” and not in fixed coordinates. \nMlinko’s poetry is suffused with wit\, erudition\, beauty\, and boundless energy. As Declan Ryan wrote of her work in The Times Literary Supplement\, “A reader could be merely dazzled by all this surface stylishness . . . but then they would miss the heart beneath it all.” Foxglovewise is a direct line to the author’s heart. \nAbout the Author \nAnge Mlinko is the author of seven books of poetry\, most recently Foxglovewise\, and a book of lyric criticism\, Difficult Ornaments: Florida and the Poets. A new chapbook\, Darkroom\, is available from Foolscap Press in Nashville. She is a frequent contributor to The New York Review of Books and The London Review of Books\, and has received the Randall Jarrell Award in Criticism as well as the Frederick Bock Prize from the Poetry Foundation\, a Guggenheim Fellowship\, and residencies at Hawthornden Castle and Civitella Ranieri. She has taught workshops at the Bread Loaf Writers Conference and the Key West Literary Seminars\, and currently teaches poetry at the University of Florida\, where she directs the MFA program.

SUMMARY:THE GARDE: Peter King (The Game) Author Talk and Signing
DESCRIPTION:Bank Square Books and The Garde Arts Center present and author talk and signing with Peter King for his book\, The Game. Peter will be in conversation with Jeff Benedict. \nTICKETS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS EVENT. Purchase Tickets \nAbout the Book \nWith his signature blend of history\, insider reporting\, sharp opinion\, and vivid anecdote\, Peter King offers an extraordinary front-row-seat chronicle of the modern NFL\, taking us into the defining moments\, teams\, controversies\, and more. \nFor 40 years\, Peter King’s unmatched access\, curiosity\, and passion have made him synonymous with the National Football League. He broke countless stories\, giving us the human side of the sport and influencing countless reporters. Players trusted him; coaches and owners revealed information to him. He gathered it all into notebooks and columns that kept fans riveted. \nNow\, in The Game\, King has brought all his knowledge and insight together in one place to tell the story of the modern NFL as no one else could. Moving from the mid-1980s\, when the league went head-to-head with baseball in popularity\, to the present\, when it dominates every other entertainment in America\, King narrates the NFL’s explosive rise from the inside. He puts us in the room with Pete Rozelle\, toward the end of the legendary commissioner’s career and life. He takes us on the Madden Cruiser\, on a cross-country journey with John Madden. He goes behind the scenes in the Reggie White free-agency saga\, when the small-town Green Bay Packers made the canniest offer you’ll ever hear. He gives us Deion Sanders’s philosophy on how to be great on the field and how to work the system off it. He shows us Steve Young\, lying in a bed with IVs in each arm after the greatest game of his life on the biggest stage. He shares the bizarre story of how a tanning bed and some well-timed push-ups helped catapult Peyton Manning to the top of the 1998 draft. He reveals Nick Foles’s mastery of a moment no one thought he could be equal to. He brings us inside the worlds of referees\, of owners\, of NFL drafts. Looking at the future\, he fires a warning shot about the greed overtaking the game. \nTime and again\, King was in limousines\, on planes\, in locker rooms\, and on sidelines where players and coaches told him why they did what they did\, whom they hated\, whom they thought highly of\, what they dreamed of achieving. The result is The Game—a portrait of the modern NFL in all its messy glory\, from one of the greatest storytellers the sport has ever produced. \nAbout the Author \nPeter King wrote for Sports Illustrated from 1989 to 2018\, including the weekly multiple-page column “Monday Morning Quarterback.” He is the author of five books\, including Inside the Helmet. He has been named National Sportswriter of the Year three times. He lives in Brooklyn\, New York. \nAbout Jeff Benedict \nJeff Benedict is a bestselling author as well as a film and television producer. He is the coauthor of the #1 New York Times bestseller Tiger Woods\, which was the basis of the Emmy-nominated HBO documentary Tiger\, and The Dynasty\, the definitive inside story of the New England Patriots under Robert Kraft\, Bill Belichick\, and Tom Brady\, which was a New York Times bestseller and the basis of a ten-part documentary series for Apple TV+\, which Benedict executive produced. He is also the author of a bestselling biography of LeBron James.

SUMMARY:Brittany Perham (Executrix) Author Talk and Signing
DESCRIPTION:Bank Square Books presents an author talk and signing with Brittany Perham for her book\, Executrix. \nAbout the Book \nAn innovative memoir that questions narrative structure and the nature of memory itself while exploring the complexity of familial relationships \nExecutrix begins with a mystery: Why would the author’s father\, from whom she had been estranged for more than a decade\, change his will in the weeks before his death to make her the executor of his estate? Executrix charts the process of sorting out the business of this indebted estate using the language of real estate foreclosure\, income tax audits\, and medical records. The executor transforms the disjointed details of a life into a tidy financial narrative that meets the demands of claimants; the writer transforms the disjointed details of a life into a story that meets the demands of memory. Through this twin accounting\, Perham asks the big questions: What are the implications of being the child of an alcoholic? How do we reconcile memories that are fragmented\, elided\, or nonexistent? And what does it mean to write true “nonfiction”? With surprising humor\, real tenderness\, and\, above all\, a daring formal inventiveness\, Executrix launches a critical investigation into family stories and secrets\, and the genre of memoir itself. \nAbout the Author \nBrittany Perham is the author of Double Portrait\, which received the Barnard Women Poets Prize; The Curiosities; and\, with Kim Addonizio\, the collaborative word/art project The Night Could Go in Either Direction. Her poetry\, fiction\, and nonfiction appear in Poetry\, Prairie Schooner\, Gulf Coast\, Poetry Society of America\, The San Francisco Chronicle\, and elsewhere. Perham’s work has received support from the Civitella Ranieri Foundation\, the Hemingway House\, the James Merrill House Foundation\, Vermont Studio Center\, the Wallace Stegner Fellowship Program\, and Yaddo. She lives in San Francisco. \nRSVP

SUMMARY:Alexandra Beller (The Anatomy of Art) Author Talk and Signing
DESCRIPTION:Bank Square Books presents an author talk and signing with Alexandra Beller for the book\, The Anatomy of Art. \nRegister \nAbout the Book \nThis book acts as a personal mentor\, helping artists navigate and overcome creative blocks. \nThe Anatomy of Art is a field guide for artists working in dance\, theatre and performance. \nTwelve interrelated drivers of the creative process – including Time\, Space\, Relationship\, Meaning\, and Context & Culture – form a working map for inquiry. \nThrough more than 1\,000 questions\, scores and frameworks\, the book activates rehearsal\, teaching and performance\, keeping choice alive in the body. \nThe book draws on three decades of devised dance and theatre and supports creative work of any scale that calls for bravery\, personal vision and rigorous inquiry. It can be opened anywhere and used for a few minutes in the studio or throughout the life of a project. \nA preface by Marisa Tomei and short offerings from artists across three generations – including Bebe Miller\, Brenda Dixon Gottschild\, Deborah Hay\, Emanuel Gat\, and others – add pressure\, contrast and lived intelligence. \nAbout the Author \nAlexandra Beller is a Brooklyn-based choreographer\, director\, performer and educator\, and the Artistic Director of Alexandra Beller/Dances.
