Amanda and Jenn discuss more nonfiction for book clubs, magical horses, novels set in Morocco, and more in this week’s episode of Get Booked. Subscribe to the podcast via RSS, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. This post contains affiliate links. When you buy through these links, Book Riot may earn a commission. Questions 1. I need some help finding a non-fiction book for my book club. We try to alternate between fiction and non fiction and every month we try to pick something from a genre we haven’t read before. The past 2 books that were big nonfiction hits were Hollywood Park by Mikel Jollett and Infused: Adventures in Tea by Henrietta Lovell.   Preferences: (1)Would prefer the book be by a BIPOC or LGBTQIA+ author (2)Would prefer a fairly recently published book as we have found that books more than 3 years are harder to find in the quantity we need at the local library (we have a pretty big group). Sometimes even the newer ones are hard to get in quantity which is unfortunate because I really wanted my group to read Disability Visibility which was amazing and I credit you two with helping me find that particular gem. Any help you can give would be deeply appreciated. Love your show, please keep up the good work! The bookriot podcasts are the only reason I manage to get to work semi-awake in the mornings. Thanks! -Jen 2. Recently I’ve found myself reading a lot of books that span a large number of years and include aging/the circle of life as a semi-major component (ex. just finished Vanishing Half). However, with not seeing my family for far too long and grappling with living as an adult on my own for the first time and my grandparents minutes away from death (sorry to unload it’s been one of those pandemics), these books have been giving me bad existential feelings. What I’m looking for is the antithesis to this, the books that take place in the shortest amount of time you know – a week, a day, an hour if possible. No births, deaths, or major life transitions, please. Basically anything that will make me feel like I, too, can freeze my life in a singular moment in time. Any genre is fine, love the show, thanks for all your work!

In this episode, we prepare for the end of the semester while bemoaning the state of the nation. In case you needed more reasons to be concerned about the state of higher ed, we've got thoughts on the Felber situation (do better, Mississippi) and the stunning disrespect Jill Biden ('s team of staff) was subjected to by some nobody from nowhere. Thoughts on the white ga(ys)ze and the holidays. And a bit of retrospection about what queer survival looked like in 2020. Momma we made it! For more on the Felber case, check out the Chronicle article: https://www.chronicle.com/article/his-university-celebrated-his-success-then-it-fired-him And instead of more on that asshole who disrespected Jill Biden, maybe just read some Morgan Parker: https://www.theparisreview.org/poetry/7094/the-high-priestess-of-souls-sunday-morning-visit-to-the-wall-of-respect-morgan-parker

Listen to the buzz of the Morton Marcus annual event! Award-winning poet, essayist, and novelist Morgan Parker will be the featured guest at the 11th annual Morton Marcus Memorial Poetry Reading, which takes place this year as a virtual event on November 12. Danusha Lameris and Dion O'Reilly dive deep into Morgan Parker's poetry. The Morton Marcus Memorial Poetry Reading is held each year to honor poet, teacher, film critic, and Santa Cruz cultural icon Morton Marcus (1936-2009).

This community event is presented by the The Humanities Institute and co-sponsored by Bookshop Santa Cruz, the Cabrillo College English Department, Cowell College, the Living Writers Series, Ow Family Properties, Poetry Santa Cruz, the Porter Hitchcock Modern Poetry Fund, and Porter College.

Morgan Parker is American poet, novelist, and editor and the author of the poetry collections Other People's Comfort Keeps Me Up At Night (2015), There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyonce (2017), and Magical Negro (2019), which won the National Book Critics Circle Award poetry prize. Alongside poet Angel Nafis, she runs The Other Black Girl Collective, an internationally touring Black Feminist poetry duo. She sat down with The Cheeky Natives in an extensive conversation to discuss her poetry collection Magical Negro. The conversation took place during the Open Book Festival in Cape Town, in Parker's first visit to South Africa. In what may only be described as a sermon, lecture and a hallelujah moment, Parker took us to church while reading from this collection. The New York Times describes this collection as, “a work that explores the gap between black experience and the white imagination's version of it”. What an apt description, if only lacking in a description of the vividness and clarity with which Parker captures the chasm between the lived experience of Blackness and the mirage created by privilege. The title is a popular reference to the trope of a Black character who appears to almost always assist a white character using strange, sometimes supernatural wisdom. However, what Parker does in using these characters to challenge white supremacy's multiple violence against black womxnhood and its limited imagining of Blackness. Straddling the contemporary and classic, in ways mirroring that of the Black experience, where one lives in multiple ages affected by the issues of their predecessors. In her poem “Now More Than Ever, “defining the title phrase as something whites say “to express their surprise / and disapproval of social or political conditions which, / to the Negro, are devastatingly usual.” In the age of diversity and inclusivity, Parker's poem is an ode to the eye roll all black people have done at white liberal catchphrases such as this. A recurring theme is the invisibility and hypervisibility of Black women, as with “Magical Negro #3: The Strong Black Woman,” whose title character is sexualised to the point that the speaker suggests assaulting her, then says, “She / won't feel nothing.” A powerful commentary on the assault on the humanity of black women contained in statements like “The Strong Black Woman” Morgan Parker is prodigious. This podcast may be the beginning of a powerful conversation about the work and words of Black people.
