Bone Flute: A Woman Speaks, a posthumous reading honoring the legacy of local poet Irene Adler. Featuring Angela Narciso Torres with Nan Cohen, Robin Ekiss, Peter Kline, and Cintia Santana. Inspired by Bishop and Dickinson, Bone Flute: A Woman Speaks by Irene Adler gives equal voice to the unspeakable sorrows and wonders of being alive. Edited by award-winning poet Angela Narciso Torres, this posthumous collection provides a longitudinal poetic record of American life and womanhood echoing Linda Pastan, Mona Van Duyn, and Grace Paley. “Reading Bone Flute, we travel with the poet through the seasons of her life, moving through history, through memory, through geography, and yet with a powerful sense of immediacy. I feel certain that there are poems here . . . that will survive the way poems do, lodged like a tough plant in a crack in someone’s heart.” —from the foreword by Nan Cohen, author of Unfinished City “. . . Adler celebrates the small but profound joys that make any life a miracle in spite of suffering, ‘black clouds fringed silver.’” —Sally Ashton, author of Listening to Mars “Smooth seeming are the waters into which Irene Adler’s words cleanly dive.” —Cintia Santana, author of The Disordered Alphabet “Irene’s small and sacred meditations reveal what the owls, birds, and beetles already know: life’s ‘wild velocity’ lives in every ‘quill, bone, and feather.’” —Robin Ekiss, author of The Mansion of Happiness “Bone Flute is a wise testament to the pain and wonder of being human.” —Peter Kline, author of Mirrorforms Irene Adler was a poet and English teacher in Palo Alto, California where she was also a co-owner of the company that invented the Aerobie flying ring and the Aeropress coffee maker. By the time of her death in October 2023, she had written over 2,000 poems spanning 25 years. Information Source: Books Inc. | eventbrite

The MSAA State Field Tournament is the best opportunity for an archer to demonstrate a well-rounded ability to not only shoot but to endure. The Field tournament brings together the aspects of a 3D tournament and a target tournament. Like a 3D tournament, a course is walked and at shooting stations, shots are taken at targets that vary in distance. An important difference between the 3D tournament and the Field tournament is that multiple arrows are shot at the same target, that at the end of the day add up to more than 100 arrows shot! Online Registration Fees: The additional fees above the normal registration cost are the costs to process the credit card payments, and are strictly a pass-through cost. The MSAA does not gain these fees in any way. Information Source: Minnesota State Archery Association | eventbrite

Welcome to a Public Evening Tour ! Our behind-the-scenes walking tour of Lick Observatory showcases the instruments, technology, and the scientific discoveries we have been making for almost 150 years - including an up-close look at the 3-meter Shane Telescope, the largest telescope on the mountain. During twilight, staff will give a history lecture about the founding and construction of the observatory. Once the sky is dark (and weather permitting), guests will view celestial objects through the historic 36”-inch Great Refractor Telescope. Come look through the telescope just like professional astronomers did in the 1800s and experience how they made ground-breaking discoveries within our universe. This event will be approximately 4 to 6 hours long. Visitors should be prepared to walk about one mile during the evening, including taking stairs.
