SUMMARY:Edith Wharton's The Custom of the Country
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Edith Wharton\, The Custom of the Country. \nFirst published in 1913\, Edith Wharton’s The Custom Of The Country is scathing novel of ambition featuring one of the most ruthless heroines in literature. Undine Spragg is as unscrupulous as she is magnetically beautiful. Her rise to the top of New York’s high society from the nouveau riche provides a provocative commentary on the upwardly mobile and the aspirations that eventually cause their ruin. One of Wharton’s most acclaimed works\, The Custom Of The Country is a stunning indictment of materialism and misplaced values that is as powerful today for its astute observations about greed and power as when it was written nearly a century ago. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

SUMMARY:A Conversation with Robert Pinsky
DESCRIPTION:Join former three-term US Poet Laureate and Long Branch\, NJ native Robert Pinsky for an evening of conversation in celebration of the release of his memoir Jersey Breaks.  The evening will be moderated by the Dean of The Wayne D. McMurray School of Humanities and Social Sciences\, David Hamilton Golland\, Ph.D. \n“Truly the voice of the Jersey Shore.” – Bruce Springsteen \nThe acclaimed poet takes an affectionate look back. The U.S. poet laureate from 1997 to 2000 and “an expert at nothing except the sounds of sentences in the English language\,” Pinsky (b. 1940) moves back and forth in time\, narrating his life in crisp\, self-deprecating prose. “If I have a story to tell\,” he writes\, “it’s how the failures and aspirations of a certain time and place led to poetry.” That place was Long Branch\, New Jersey\, where the author grew up in an Orthodox\, lower-middle-class family in a neighborhood that was both poor and segregated. In the “sounds of Hebrew\,” Pinsky heard Milton\, Blake\, and Whitman. He recalls reading stories and poems in the glossy magazines in his optician father’s waiting room as well as the “exact moment when I became a writer\,” thanks to Through the Looking Glass. As an “ambitious\, pseudointellectual freshman” at Rutgers University\, he encountered and enjoyed Ulysses and the poetry of William Carlos Williams\, T.S. Eliot\, and Allen Ginsberg. Pinsky confesses that his way of writing a poem stems from getting a “tune in my head…like noodling at the piano\,” and his approach fostered his popular Favorite Poem Project\, which combined the “appeal of gossip with the appeal of art.” \nThough the author loved playing music\, poetry came first in college\, and he explains how his “habit of thinking about names was essential to my work as a poet.” He lavishes praise on two cantankerous college teachers—Paul Fussell and “relentless dictator” Yvor Winters—as well as his friend and mentor Thom Gunn. When teaching at Wellesley in 1970\, Pinsky attended Robert Lowell’s “erratic writing workshop\,” and Lowell gave him a blurb for his first collection\, Sadness and Happiness. Throughout\, the author sharply dissects a variety of poems\, including his own\, and he excitedly explains the welcome challenge of translating Dante’s Inferno. \nFans of literature will relish Pinsky’s jocular recollections and infectious love of poetry.

All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Jonathan Franzen’s Freedom. \nFreedom\, by the New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Franzen\, is a masterly novel of contemporary love and marriage\, a brilliant charting of the temptations and burdens of liberty: the thrills of teenage lust\, the shaken compromises of middle age\, the wages of suburban sprawl\, and the heavy weight of empire. \nPatty and Walter Berglund were the pioneers of old St. Paul—the gentrifiers\, the hands-on parents\, the avant garde of the Whole Foods generation. But now\, in the new millennium\, they have become a mystery. Why has their teenage son moved in with the aggressively Republican family next door? Why has Walter\, once an environmental lawyer\, taken a job working with Big Coal? Most startling of all\, why has Patty\, the perfect neighbor\, turned into the local Fury? Patty and Walter Berglund are indelible characters\, and their mistakes and joys\, as they struggle to learn how to live in an ever more confusing world\, have become touchstones of contemporary American reality. \nWe are still waiting for more information about whether we will be able to hold this event in person.

SUMMARY:Tuesday Night Book Club: Patti Smith\, Just Kids
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Patti Smith\, Just Kids.\n \nPatti Smith’s definitive memoir: an evocative\, honest and moving coming-of-age story of her extraordinary relationship with the artist Robert Mapplethorpe. In 1967\, a chance meeting between two young people led to a romance and a lifelong friendship that would carry each to international success never dreamed of. The backdrop is Brooklyn\, Chelsea Hotel\, Max’s Kansas City\, Scribner’s Bookstore\, Coney Island\, Warhol’s Factory and the whole city resplendent. Among their friends\, literary lights\, musicians and artists such as Harry Smith\, Bobby Neuwirth\, Allen Ginsberg\, Sandy Daley\, Sam Shepherd\, William Burroughs\, etc. It was a heightened time politically and culturally; the art and music worlds exploding and colliding. In the midst of all this two kids made a pact to always care for one another. Scrappy\, romantic\, committed to making art\, they prodded and provided each other with faith and confidence during the hungry years–the days of cous-cous and lettuce soup. \nJust Kids begins as a love story and ends as an elegy. Beautifully written\, this is a profound portrait of two young artists\, often hungry\, sated only by art and experience. And an unforgettable portrait of New York\, her rich and poor\, hustlers and hellions\, those who made it and those whose memory lingers near. \nWe are still waiting for more information about whether we will be able to hold this event in person.

SUMMARY:Tuesday Night Book Club: Toni Morrison\, Beloved
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Toni Morrison’s Beloved. The magnificent Pulitzer Prize–winning work that brought the wrenching experience of slavery into the literature of our time\, enlarging our comprehension of America’s original sin.  Upon the original publication of Beloved in 1987\, John Leonard wrote in the Los Angeles Times: “I can’t imagine American literature without it.” Nearly two decades later\, The New York Times chose Beloved as the best American novel of the previous fifty years. \nSet in post–Civil War Ohio\, it is the story of Sethe\, an escaped slave who has lost a husband and buried a child; who has withstood savagery and not gone mad. Sethe\, who now lives in a small house on the edge of town with her daughter\, Denver\, her mother-in-law\, Baby Suggs\, and a disturbing\, mesmerizing apparition who calls herself Beloved. Sethe works at “beating back the past\,” but it makes itself heard and felt incessantly: in her memory; in Denver’s fear of the world outside the house; in the sadness that consumes Baby Suggs; in the arrival of Paul D\, a fellow former slave; and\, most powerfully\, in Beloved\, whose childhood belongs to the hideous logic of slavery and who has now come from the “place over there” to claim retribution for what she lost and for what was taken from her. \nWe are still waiting for more information about whether we will be able to hold this event in person.

SUMMARY:Tuesday Night Book Club: Bruce Springsteen\, Born to Run
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Bruce Springsteen\, Born to Run. \nIn 2009\, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl’s halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That’s how this extraordinary autobiography began. Over the past seven years\, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life\, bringing to these pages the same honesty\, humour and originality found in his songs.\n\nBorn to Run will be revelatory for anyone who has ever enjoyed Bruce Springsteen\, but this book is much more than a legendary rock star’s memoir. This is a book for workers and dreamers\, parents and children\, lovers and loners\, artists\, freaks or anyone who has ever wanted to be baptized in the holy river of rock and roll. Rarely has a performer told his own story with such force and sweep. Like many of his songs (‘Thunder Road’\, ‘Badlands’\, ‘Darkness on the Edge of Town’\, ‘The River’\, ‘Born in the U.S.A.’\, ‘The Rising’\, and ‘The Ghost of Tom Joad’\, to name just a few)\, Bruce Springsteen’s autobiography is written with the lyricism of a singular songwriter and the wisdom of a man who has thought deeply about his experiences. \nWe are still waiting for more information about whether we will be able to hold this event in person. However\, we are also committed to continuing offering access virtually to Tuesday Night Book Club for all our new audiences! You can register now for Zoom access to the event.

SUMMARY:Supporting Systems and Communities in Achieving Racial Equality: A Groundwater Analysis - presented by Joyce James
DESCRIPTION:Voices for Change: Voting\, Advocacy\, and Action\nIn this presentation\, Ms. James will share her journey in developing the Texas Model for addressing Disproportionality and Disparities and the Groundwater Analysis for Addressing Racial Inequities© as the foundation for creating antiracist organizational cultures for undoing institutional and structural racism and improving outcomes for all populations. Participants will gain an increased understanding of the importance of cross systems collaborations and building partnerships with poor communities of color to remove the barriers that contribute to racial inequities. The session will include discussion of the pitfalls of well-meaning and well-intentioned leaders\, who in isolation of an analysis of institutional and structural racism\, and a racial equity lens\, continue to unconsciously contribute to sustaining and often perpetuating racial inequities in the design and delivery of programs and services.

The emergence of Black Studies and Women’s Studies\, along with student-led and national organizations incorporating the same identity politics also demanded inclusion in intellectual landscapes. During this era Black social scientists blanketed the scholarship\, theory\, and treatment research that anchored African cultural values\, traditions\, knowledge\, and generational behaviors as disruptive characteristics of pathologized Black family rhetoric. Collectively\, cultural scholarship named the impact of adapting Black life to oppression and anti-Blackness policy. They declared the Black family as the fundamental source of strength of the Black community and as the defense for Black life from external threats. This session provides a historical and contemporary alignment on the Black strength perspective through racial pride\, resistance\, and resilience.
