Great Decisions at the Library

Bainbridge Public Library
Saturday, April 3, 2010, 9 – 10:30am

"Kenya and R2P"

Post-election rioting in Kenya in December 2007 brought pressure on Nairobi, from international and regional diplomats, to end tensions and avert bloodshed on a massive scale. What lessons can be learned from the intervention in Kenya? What does it mean for the UN's emerging "responsibility to protect" doctrine?

Moderator: Joel Ngugi, Associate Professor of Law at the U.W. School of Law and Chair of the African Studies Program at the U.W. Jackson School of International Affairs. Professor Ngugi received a bachelor of law degree from the University of Nairobi, a diploma in legal studies from the Kenyan School of Law, and a doctorate of law from Harvard University. His U.W. courses include law and development, international business transactions, human rights and indigenous peoples rights, and international economic law. Professor Ngugi has also worked with the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and conducted research work for the Global Coalition for Africa/World Bank, Program on Humanitarian Policy and Conflict Research (HPCR) at Harvard University and at the Global Trade Watch Division of the Public Citizens, Inc. in Washington, DC.

Co-sponsored by Kitsap Regional Library and the Bainbridge Island Arts & Humanities Council (BIAHC). More information about this free, drop-in discussion series.

What’s Your Favorite Poem?

Bainbridge Public Library
Saturday, April 10, 2010, 2 – 3:30pm

The Bainbridge Public Library will be joining hundreds of libraries and communities across the U.S. this April in celebrating National Poetry Month by hosting a Favorite Poem Reading on Saturday April 10, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. in the large meeting room.

Favorite Poem Readings gather individuals from different corners of a single community to share their favorite poems with each other, revealing personal ties to specific poems. The nationwide project was begun in 1997 by then U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky.

Even those of us who profess no real passion for poetry probably have a favorite poem lurking within – the one you were forced to memorize in third grade; the lines that pop into your head in times of intense grief or joy; the words that come back to you amidst great natural beauty, that rise to the surface in a religious or other contemplative setting, or that just make you laugh.

Each selected reader will have up to five minutes to both read his poem and explain its personal connection.

To get the ball rolling, metaphorically speaking, the library asked three well-known Bainbridge Island poets to describe their favorite poems: John Willson, Nancy Rekow, and Bob McAllister

Bainbridge Islanders interested in participating in the April 10 Favorite Poem Reading should contact Kathleen Thorne (kthorne@krl.org). More details are on the Kitsap Regional Library website, www.krl.org.

The Poetry of Sharon Olds

Bainbridge Public Library

A National Poetry Month Special Event

Join an evening of discussion of four Sharon Old's poems selected and read by Kitsap County poets Neil Baker, Jennifer Hager, Jenifer Browne Lawrence and David Stallings.

No experience with poetry necessary!

"Sharon Olds's poems are pure fire in the hands--risky, on the verge of falling, and in the end leaping up. I love the roughness and humor and brag and tenderness and completion in her work as she carries the reader through rooms of passion and loss. " Author Michael Ondaatje

"I write the way I perceive, I guess. It’s not really simple, I don’t think, but it’s about ordinary things—feeling about things, about people. I’m not an intellectual. I’m not an abstract thinker. And I’m interested in ordinary life.” Sharon Olds

Sharon Olds is a beloved and popular poet who teaches creative writing at New York University and has been the recipient of many awards including the San Francisco Poetry Center Award, the Lamont Poetry Prize, The National Books Critics Circle Award, and the T. S. Eliot Prize.

Authentic India: Experiences of an Independent Traveler with Pam Perry

Vibrant. Colorful. Enchanting. Mysterious. Kitsap native Pam Perry recently spent 10 months traveling the world solo, and found India the most rapturous of all her destinations: Women in brightly colored saris, bustling bazaars, the cool air of a mountain tea estate, the fragrant aroma of a spice market. Sacred cows share the streets with working elephants and cycle rickshaws. India walks a beautiful tightrope between modern amenities and ancient traditions. The state of perpetual stimulation makes India one of the most exciting destinations in the world for all travelers, including those going it alone.
