Are you happy, worried, or confused about how President Trump’s proposals could change your
life or impact your children’s future?
Come to the Loussac Library, for a facilitated discussion on what you
are thinking and feeling.
This is a program of discussions on Doing Democracy facilitated by Let’s Talk Alaska (LTAK). Listen to your neighbors, share your concerns, and discuss what you might do about them – individually and with others who care.
This is a new variation on a program in civic dialogue created by Alaska Common Ground and the Anchorage Library called Let’s Talk Alaska. Our prior discussions were on topics we selected guided by discussions guides we authored. Now, you – the participants – will choose the topics you wish to explore. The only requirement is that they address the program purpose of Doing Democracy and can be discussed in terms of the following questions:
1.
What about
this topic makes me Happy? Worried?
Confused?
2.
How does
this topic fit with the founding values of our nation as set forth in our
Constitution?
3. What can we do about this topic that upholds the
values we hold dear?
Join us as we discuss Nicole Stellon O’Donnell’s novel Steam Laundry—a novel in verse.
Based on the true story of Sarah Ellen Gibson, a miner’s wife during the Klondike and Alaska gold rushes. Sarah’s journey began as she followed her husband to Dawson City, Yukon Territory in 1898. She stayed there three years as the town’s boom and her marriage burned out.
The poems, written in the voices of Gibson, her family members, and the people who knew her, take on love, loss, failure, and desire. Some confront the drama of failed marriages, troubled family relationships, and alcoholism.
Others spin the dramatic details of hunting accidents and subarctic survival into compelling stories in verse. They embody the opposing voices of an era during which men and women struggled in different, but overlapping, universes.
By staring at Gibson through the spectral lenses of the people around her, the documents she left behind, and the vision of a contemporary poet, the particulars of Gibson’s life are transformed into an exploration of the people history usually forgets.

Join Perseverance Theatre as they discuss Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich.
The world as we know it is ending. Evolution has reversed itself,
affecting every living creature on earth. Science cannot stop the world from
running backwards, as woman after woman gives birth to infants that appear to
be primitive species of humans. Twenty-six-year-old Cedar Hawk Songmaker,
adopted daughter of a pair of big-hearted, open-minded Minneapolis liberals, is
as disturbed and uncertain as the rest of America around her. But for Cedar,
this change is profound and deeply personal. She is four months pregnant.
This program is being presented in conjunction with Perseverance Theatre's production of William, Inc. You can see William, Inc. can be seen at the Sydney Laurence Theatre, March 1-11.
Tickets to the performance will be given out at the book
club.

Join us as we discuss God and Jetfire: Confessions of a Birth Mother, a searching, eloquent memoir by Amy Seek about the joys and hardships of open adoption. It is a mother’s account of her decision to surrender her son in an open adoption and of their relationship over the twelve years that follow. Written with literary poise and distinction, it's the story of a life divided between grief and gratitude, regret and joy--an elegy for a lost motherhood, a celebration of a family gained, and an apology to a beloved son.
