SUMMARY:Nina MacLaughlin\, "The slow time of the hand: a writer’s life between water and wood"
DESCRIPTION:Having worked as a journalist throughout her twenties\, Nina MacLaughlin finds herself yearning for more tangible work\, and applies in response to a Craigslist ad seeking a carpenter’s assistant (despite having majored in Classics and not knowing the difference between a Phillips and a flathead screwdriver). To her surprise\, she gets the job\, commencing years of apprenticeship and a close working partnership with her boss Mary. Nina MacLaughlin’s transformation from desk-job-journalist to carpenter is the focus of her 2016 book Hammer Head: The Making of a Carpenter. Much more than a record of a job change\, Hammer Head thinks through questions about what makes work meaningful\, what it means to make things with our hands\, how to know what we need and want from our lives. \nIn this conversation\, Nina MacLaughlin will speak with us—and invite dialogue—about the relation between what we do with our hands and what we do with our minds. In ‘slow time’\, we live\, observe\, and think at the pace of our bodies and the materials they work with\, whether the water under a gliding canoe or the sure movement of a knife through wood becoming a spoon. How might working with our hands—whether making a spoon\, building a canoe\, renovating a house\, or writing—teach us to live our lives? Nina will draw on her long relationship with canoeing; her experience in carpentry\, carving and woodwork; and her writing practice to offer us a space of ‘slow time’\, in which to explore the fertile possibilities of the places where word\, wood\, and water meet. \nNina MacLaughlin is the author of Hammer Head: The Making of a Carpenter (Norton\, 2016) and Wake\, Siren (FSG\, November 2019). She grew up in Massachusetts and lives in Cambridge\, where she works as a carpenter. Formerly an editor at the Boston Phoenix\, she is now also the book reviewer for the Boston Globe. Her writing appears in the Believer\, Bookslut\, the Los Angeles Review of Books\, and elsewhere.

SUMMARY:Kerry D. Hebert Memorial Paddle
DESCRIPTION:The New Commons Project kicks off its programming for Fall 2019 and its consideration of the CANOE with a community paddle in tribute to the late Kerry D. Hebert. Kerry loved his CANOE. Each Spring he would take a run or two down Lemon Stream at high water. It’s a tradition he passed on to his children. Please join the New Commons Project for a paddle in honor of Kerry’s love of being on the water. Following the paddle\, there will be a potluck at the Starks Community Center and a reading by Robert Kimber of passages from A Canoeist’s Sketchbook.

SUMMARY:Laressa Dickey\, "From the Association of Stubborn Folks: All them pretty houses won’t feed them people"
DESCRIPTION:How do we make a life in a place? How do we become of that place? How\, when we leave that place\, can it be that it never lets us leave? What is the mark it makes? How do we come to terms with the fact that we can never not be of that place. How do we make places\, especially rural ones? How do our places make us? \nPlace\, Responsibility\, and Stewardship are questions to live—as are ownership\, bank payments\, family feuds\, resentments\, control\, whiteness. From the land come honey hives\, deer plots and wild collards; we undertake conservation of the soil\, change the course of the creek so it doesn’t erode; we talk about intervention\, stories of our own agency. Also\, less often: we say we failed\, there was bud worm on the tobacco\, the pig barn burnt down\, there was cancer. But we lived to tell it\, we bore it out. \nLaressa Dickey will read poems and talk about growing up on a farm in Tennessee\, telling the story of being formed by that place and by the people in it.

SUMMARY:Workshop with Laressa Dickey\, "Diligence\, Devotion\, Common(s)ense: Shopping for Poems in the Fedco Seed Catalog"
DESCRIPTION:Many chart the year by the annual dreaming we do while thumbing through (or scrolling through) a seed catalog. Thoughts and inklings of herbs\, vegetables\, fruits become places that are walked off\, plotted out\, tilled\, worked over\, and seeded with what we wish to cultivate\, what we wish to eat\, or sell\, or what we wish to see in vases. In this writing workshop hosted by poet Laressa Dickey\, participants will use the Fedco Seed Catalog as a departure point for making poems—small texts that are spaces to contain memory\, desire\, and imagination.

SUMMARY:The New Commons Film Series: WITHIN OUR GATES
DESCRIPTION:Oscar Micheaux was one of first African American film directors\, and\, like Spike Lee in BlacKkKlansman\, uses Within Our Gates (1920) to engage in a critical dialogue with D. W. Griffith’s epic The Birth of a Nation (1915)\, a pro-Ku Klux Klan film that both Micheaux and Lee suggest has been a contributing factor to anti-black violence. \nWithin Our Gates focuses on the character Sylvia Landry\, who is dedicated to raising money to support the education of black children\, and whose tragic past is revealed in series of flashbacks\, including a shocking sequence (which resulted in the widespread censorship and outright banning of the film) depicting the lynching of her parents at the hands of a white vigilante mob. \nWithin Our Gates has been preserved and restored by the Library of Congress\, and was released in 2016 mastered in HD\, and with a new soundtrack composed by Paul D. Miller (aka DJ Spooky).
