Celebrate the freedom to read with the Banned Book Club. In May, we're reading The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison. We will discuss not only the book itself, but also the concepts of free speech and censorship as we encounter them in the modern world.

Synopsis:
The Bluest Eye is Toni Morrison's first novel, a book heralded for its richness of language and boldness of vision. Set in the author's girlhood hometown of Lorain, Ohio, it tells the story of black, eleven-year-old Pecola Breedlove. Pecola prays for her eyes to turn blue so that she will be as beautiful and beloved as all the blond, blue-eyed children in America. In the autumn of 1941, the year the marigolds in the Breedloves' garden do not bloom. Pecola's life does change—in painful, devastating ways.

With its vivid evocation of the fear and loneliness at the heart of a child's yearning, and the tragedy of its fulfillment. The Bluest Eye remains one of Toni Morrison's most powerful, unforgettable novels- and a significant work of American fiction.

Edie Dillon will trace the roots of the Rights of Nature movement and its flowering in Arizona and around the world. She’ll read from her new book, Pulling Together in Rising Waters: Reciprocity as Practice and will share how her visual art interprets the ideas that support interdependence, reciprocity, respect, and the connection between humans and the more than human world to move us beyond the limiting frame of human exceptionalism. Book signing after the talk. Books are available for purchase.

Doors open at 6:30pm. The presentation starts at 7:00pm.
