SUMMARY:Enough to Lose: RS Deeren in conversation with Bonnie Jo Campbell
DESCRIPTION:In nine captivating short stories\, RS Deeren presents a vivid portrait of life in rural Michigan. Discover his new collection when he joins us in conversation with Bonnie Jo Campbell. \nThis event is free to attend. However it helps us in planning to receive your RSVP. Please register here so we know you plan to join us: https://sb-enoughtolose.eventbrite.com \nAbout the Book\nIn nine captivating short stories\, RS Deeren presents a vivid portrait of life in rural Michigan. Small family farms are dwarfed by looming wind turbines and are transformed into corporate enterprises; polarizing local and national politics turn neighbor against neighbor and raze long-standing community allegiances; hard-working families fight for survival in a home that is increasingly unrecognizable and untenable. Exploring the limitations of rugged individualism in the face of relentless economic downturn\, these stories feature recurring characters and narratives that span from the Great Flood of 1986 to the 2016 presidential election. \nWith unflinching empathy\, Deeren weaves together the colorful lives of landscapers\, hunters\, artists\, parolees\, retirees\, and entrepreneurs\, characters who reckon with their relationship to this unique slice of the rural Midwest. Enough to Lose reveals how a region resistant to change and outside intervention struggles to adapt and leaves locals feeling left behind. Deeren artfully illustrates the brutal realities of working-class rural life that are punctuated by moments of beauty\, humor\, and resilience. \nAbout the Author:\nA native “Thumbody\,” RS Deeren is an assistant professor of creative writing at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville\, Tennessee. His research interests include contemporary fiction\, US working-class studies\, and rural-urban dynamics. His fiction\, nonfiction\, and poetry have appeared in periodicals including The Great Lakes Review\, Joyland\, Midwestern Gothic\, and more. He has also worked as a line cook\, landscaper\, lumberjack\, and bank teller\, just like some of the characters in these stories. He received his PhD at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. \nAbout the Conversationalist: \nBonnie Jo Campbell is the author of six works of fiction\, including American Salvage\, finalist for the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award\, and Once Upon a River\, a national bestseller. The recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship\, AWP’s Grace Paley Prize for Short Fiction\, and a Pushcart Prize\, she lives outside Kalamazoo\, Michigan\, with donkeys.

SUMMARY:Fresh Coast Film Festival 2023
DESCRIPTION:The Fresh Coast Film Festival is the first of its kind: a documentary film festival celebrating the outdoor lifestyle\, water-rich environment and resilient spirit of the Great Lakes and Upper Midwest. The festival will gather the best in environmental and cultural filmmaking from around the world while creating a venue for\, and building a culture of\, Great Lakes storytelling.\n\nFresh Coast will be held annually in October during the height of fall color season in the Lake Superior harbor town of Marquette\, Michigan. Here the waves of an inland sea crash on the bedrock remains of the ancient Huron Mountains. A red lighthouse winks across the water at thousand-foot freighters slipping through the fog. Singletrack trails link a historic downtown with world class mountain biking\, trail running and waterfalls. After a day of play\, a vibrant brewing and dining scene rewards hard work with ingredients and inspiration drawn from the crisp clean waters of the world’s largest body of fresh water\, Lake Superior. We think you’ll like it here.\n\nFor filmmakers and students Fresh Coast will mean an opportunity to interact with environmental thinkers\, outdoors athletes and media professionals working in the outdoors industry. Who you know is as important as what you know and Fresh Coast is THE place in the Midwest to connect.\nA key component of the Fresh Coast experience will be guided outdoor activities to introduce visitors to the outdoor playground of the Marquette area. Rock climbing\, yoga\, waterfall hikes and mountain bike rides will all be offered as part of the Fresh Coast weekend.\n\nSo please join us for a weekend of storytelling\, learning and outdoor recreation like no other.

SUMMARY:Fresh Coast Film Festival After Party with FINKEL
DESCRIPTION:Join us Friday evening at 9PM for a Fresh Coast after party! This is a chance to visit with filmmakers\, fellow attendees\, organizers\, and enjoy a brew and a live performance from FINKEL!\nJane and Brian Spencer of FINKEL seem to arrive from the near future\, or perhaps somewhere out there\, appearing with a slight shimmer of a dimension adjacent to our own. With an atmosphere treading the periphery of pop\, the duo’s tangible vocal presence overlays hypnotic\, cinematic pulsations in a combination that teases out details of last night’s otherworldly dreams and tempts the waking state to return to its astral analog.\n\nFINKEL aims to inspire creativity and strengthen human connection while deterring the fears and insecurities attached to making art. That’s why they’re creating a docu-series in partnership with Slow Blink where they travel globally to new locations\, meet new collaborators\, and make music inspired by their adventures together. The vulnerability involved in making art is hugely beneficial for everyone. The more open we are with ourselves\, the more understanding we can be of the world around us.\n\nAs a proof-of-concept\, FINKEL hunkered down on the isolated\, snow-covered Mackinac Island\, nestled in the middle of Lake Huron and wrote\, Islanders. The process was filmed by Slow Blink and was released as a feature-length documentary in September of 2022 via Kamikaze Dogfight and Gravitas Ventures.\n\nIn 2023 FINKEL will continue their documentary journey\, collaborate with more incredible artists\, and perform on stages all over the globe. Sink your teeth into the entire catalog at finkelband.com.

SUMMARY:Lindsay Lou: Queen of Time Release Tour
DESCRIPTION:Ore Dock Brewing Co. is thrilled to bring Lindsay Lou and her band back to Marquette!\nTickets on Sale now!\n\nDoors at 6:30pm | Show at 7:30pm\n\nNamed among NPR’s “12 Best Live Performances” in 2015\, Lou has long been beloved as a live performer\, from Telluride Bluegrass Festival to Stagecoach\, Celtic Connections to Australia’s National Folk Festival\, and a “Can’t Miss Act” at AmericanaFest—not to mention acclaim from PBS\, No Depression\, Billboard\, Holler\, Paste\, and The Bluegrass Situation\, among other outlets.\nLou’s vocals are a powerful companion to her songwriting. “In an era when style and trends can become genericana\, [Lou] focuses on the song\,” said No Depression. “It is infectious and joyful\, soulful even.” The undeniable centerpiece throughout Queen of Time (Lou’s newest album\, set to release September 29\, 2023)\, Lou’s voice is a molasses-sweet instrument equally capable of clarion ache\, slicing deep into the soul.

SUMMARY:Thin Air Kellie Parker in conversation with Erin Craig
DESCRIPTION:Michigan author Kellie Parker\, award-winning writer of YA fantasy and thrillers\, will be in Grand Rapids to share her newest book in conversation with fellow Michigan YA author Erin Craig! \nThis event is free to attend. However it helps us in planning to receive your RSVP. Please register here so we know you plan to join us: https://sb-thinair.eventbrite.com \nAbout the Book\nEight hours. Twelve contestants. A flight none of them might survive. A flight to Paris full of teenagers seeking opportunity turns deadly in this suspenseful\, locked-door YA thriller. Perfect for fans of Diana Urban\, Karen McManus\, and Jessica Goodman. \nSeventeen-year-old boarding school student Emily Walters is selected for an opportunity of a lifetime—she’ll compete abroad for a cash prize that will cover not only tuition to the college of her choice\, but will lift her mother and her out of poverty. \nBut almost from the moment she and 11 other contestants board a private jet to Europe\, Emily realizes somebody is willing to do anything to win. Between keeping an eye on her best friend’s flirty boyfriend and hiding her own dark secrets\, she’s not sure how she’ll survive the contest\, much less the flight. Especially when people start dying… \nAs loyalties shift and secrets are revealed\, Emily must figure out who to trust\, and who’s trying to kill them all\, before she becomes the next victim. \n  \nAbout the Author:\nKellie M. Parker is an award-winning writer of YA fantasy and thrillers. She has college degrees in biology and nautical archaeology\, but she’s always found her sense of adventure most satisfied by a great story. When not writing\, Kellie can be found teaching her four children\, camping\, baking\, and gardening. She lives with her family in west Michigan. \nAbout the Conversationalist: \nErin A. Craig is the New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrows and Small Favors. She has always loved telling stories. After getting her BFA in Theatre Design and Production from the University of Michigan\, she stage-managed tragic operas filled with hunchbacks\, séances\, and murderous clowns\, then decided she wanted to write books that were just as spooky. An avid reader\, an embroidery enthusiast\, a rabid basketball fan\, and a collector of typewriters\, Erin makes her home in West Michigan with her husband and daughter.
