SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Poet Elizabeth Hughey
DESCRIPTION:What are we to do with the things we inherit? The names we are given? The language we are taught? The stories with which we are raised? These are the questions at the heart of Elizabeth Hughey’s White Bull\, winner of the 2020 Kathryn A. Morton Prize in Poetry. This new poetry collection is composed entirely of words taken from the correspondence and public statements of notorious segregationist Bull Connor\, who was Commissioner of Public Safety for the city of Birmingham in the early 1960s. Join us for a conversation about how art and poetry can help us reckon with the ugliness of our past\, confront the moral cost of silence in the present\, and recalibrate our language for a shared future.\n\nTickets for this event are $10 for members and $15 for guests. To purchase your tickets\, click here.\n\nTo purchase your copy of White Bull from Buxton Books\, click here.\n\n \nAbout White Bull: Composed entirely of words taken from the letters and public statements of the notorious segregationist Bull Connor\, the poems in White Bull use language that was wielded in violence and oppression to reckon with the present moment. Here\, the truth comes out\, like a child whispering in the midst of a political rally\, “Summer separates us with the same trees.” And\, “I thought if I repeated a word enough it would change its meaning.” Elizabeth Hughey holds up and examines the things handed down to us―from patterned wing backs and chipped tea sets to family names and gender roles―and asks if we should keep any of it or burn it all down and start again.\n\nAbout Elizabeth: Elizabeth Hughey is the author of Sunday Houses the Sunday House (University of Iowa Press)\, and Guest Host (The National Poetry Review Press). She has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Sustainable Arts Foundation. She is the co-founder and Programming Director of the Desert Island Supply Co. (DISCO)\, a literary arts center in Birmingham\, Alabama\, where she teaches poetry in public schools. \n\nRecent Praise for White Bull: \n“White Bull is a feat in finding the language to demystify our time.”―The Clarion-Ledger \n“[Hughey’s] refusal to let the dead lie buried evokes the hauntology of Southern life\, but it also seeks a reparative future that acknowledges\, and disempowers\, the old…..White Bull ravage[s] time in spectacular\, disturbing ways.” ―”Invocations of Time in Recent Poetry” by Alina Stefanescu\, Gasher

SUMMARY:Documentary Screening & Discussion - "For The Left Hand"
DESCRIPTION:Join documentary Co-Director\, Gordon Quinn\, and Producer/Writer\, Howard Reich\, for the inspiring story of pianist Norman Malone as we screen the inspiring documentary For the Left Hand. This event is free and open to the public\, but requires an RSVP. To RSVP\, fill out the form below.  \nAbout the Film:\nAt age 5\, Norman discovered he was a natural at the piano. Tragically\, when Norman turned 10\, his father attacked him with a hammer to the head\, leaving him paralyzed on his right side. Undaunted\, Malone began a lifelong quest to reclaim his place at the piano\, mastering the most difficult music ever written for left hand alone – and never telling anyone of his deepening virtuosity. Not until he was 78 did Malone reveal his story (to the Chicago Tribune)\, prompting belated invitations to perform across America. Nearly 70 years after his tragic attack\, Malone launches a much-delayed\, triumphant concert career. \nAbout Gordon:\nArtistic Director and founding member of Kartemquin Films\, Gordon Quinn has been making documentaries for over 50 years. Roger Ebert\, of the Chicago Sun Times\, called his first film Home for Life (1966) “an extraordinarily moving documentary.” With Home for Life Gordon established the direction he would take for the next four decades\, making cinéma vérité films that investigate and critique society by documenting the unfolding lives of real people. At Kartemquin\, Gordon created a legacy that is an inspiration for young filmmakers and a home where they can make high-quality\, social-issue documentaries. Gordon currently executive produces and works creatively on all of our current productions. \nAbout Howard:\nHoward has covered the arts for the Chicago Tribune since 1978 and joined the staff in 1983. He has written six books: “The Art of Inventing Hope: Intimate Conversations with Elie Wiesel\,” “Portraits in Jazz\,” “Let Freedom Swing\,” “Jelly’s Blues” (with William Gaines)\, “Van Cliburn” and “Prisoner of Her Past” (originally published as “The First and Final Nightmare of Sonia Reich”). The latter inspired the Kartemquin documentary film Prisoner of Her Past which Reich wrote\, narrated and co-produced.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Susan Sully
DESCRIPTION:In this debut lecture\, Susan Sully will share her passion and curiosity about Charleston’s unique architecture and design traditions as celebrated in her new book\, The Allure of Charleston (Rizzoli: 2022). The inspiration for this volume began when she returned to Charleston after a time away and found herself wondering what makes this city look and feel so unique. In this lavishly illustrated lecture\, she will share her discoveries about Charleston’s particular design language\, its history\, and how it is perpetuated today. A reception and book signing will follow the lecture. \nTickets for this event are $10 for members and $15 for guests. To purchase your tickets\, click here. \nTo purchase your copy of The Allure of Charleston Houses\, Rooms\, and Gardens from Buxton Books\, click here. \nThe Allure of Charleston celebrates this historic city’s eighteenth- and nineteenth-century styles and demonstrates how they continue to be employed and updated today. Exploring the question of what makes Charleston so distinct\, Sully’s book begins with an illustrated lexicon of Charleston’s particular architectural language\, followed by examples of Georgian\, Federal\, and Greek Revival architecture that demonstrate how this language first came to expression. Featuring historic masterpieces including Drayton Hall\, the Nathaniel Russell House\, and Middleton Place\, this volume also offers a look at present-day residences that reveal the enduring nature of this unique architectural idiom. \nAbout Susan:\nA renowned expert on Southern style\, Susan Sully is the author and photographer of many books about architecture and design from Rizzoli and other publishers. She has also co-authored books with leading Southern architects and designers and contributed articles to The New York Times\, Veranda\, Town & Country Travel\, and other publications.

SUMMARY:CLS Presents A Special Performance of The Colour of Music Festival Quintet
DESCRIPTION:CLS invites you to share in a rare opportunity to hear the storied Color of Music Festival Quintet and join a post-performance reception to meet the musicians. With a special appearance by violinist Anyango Yarbo-Davenport and pianist Kyle P. Walker\, the evening will feature an arrangement of Igor Frolov’s “Fantasy” on Porgy and Bess. The full Colour of Music Festival Quintet will be performing “Quintet in A Major” by Florence B. Price – one of the most noted Black female composers – whom we are pleased is finally getting the recognition she deserves. Tickets for this event are $25 for CLS Members and $35 for CLS Guests. Hors d’ oeuvres reception to immediately follow the performance from 8:00-9:00 p.m. \n\n\n\n\n\nTo purchase tickets\, click here or call 843-723-9912. \nAbout the Festival: \nThe Colour of Music Festival\, Inc. presents a diverse classical repertoire of baroque\, classical and 20th-century music at the highest of musical standards to diverse audiences nationally. The festival has presented in Atlanta; Charleston and Columbia\, South Carolina; Nashville\, Tennessee; Houston; Pittsburgh; Richmond\, Virginia; and Washington\, D.C. \nFew classical music enthusiasts are aware of the tremendous contributions of Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges\, an African-French composer whose opera and classical masterpieces equaled or far exceeded those of his 18th-century contemporaries. Although his compositions are highly recognized overseas\, they have gathered little notice in the United States. Today there are thousands of celebrated and prodigiously talented classical principals\, composers and performers of African descent throughout the world. Yet\, their opportunities to grace concert stages of major American orchestras are rare to non-existent. The Colour of Music Festival’s mission is reversing this trend. \nSince 2013\, the Colour of Music Festival offers a musical kaleidoscope highlighting the impact and historical significance of Black classical composers and performers on American and world culture. The Colour of Music Festival began with performances at various venues throughout historic Charleston\, South Carolina and has grown to debut in cities across the country with artists from across the globe. \nAssembling acclaimed Black chamber ensemble players and artists to form the Colour of Music Orchestra\, the Festival showcases some of the top Black classical musicians in the United States\, trained at some of the most prestigious music schools\, conservatories and universities in the world.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Betsy Prioleau
DESCRIPTION:Join us in welcoming author\, Besty Prioleau to discuss her recent biography\, Diamonds and Deadlines: A Tale of Greed\, Deceit\, and a Female Tycoon in the Gilded Age.  \nTickets for this event are $10 for members and $15 for nonmembers. To purchase tickets\, click here. \nTo purchase your copy of Diamonds and Deadlines from Buxton Books\, click here. \nAbout the Book:\nThe first major biography of the glamorous and scandalous Miriam Leslie—a titan of publishing and an unsung hero of women’s suffrage. A fantastic Gilded Age story that speaks to the important social issues of our time. \nAmong the fabled tycoons of the Gilded Age—Carnegie\, Rockefeller\, Vanderbilt—is a forgotten figure: Mrs. Frank Leslie. For 20 years she ran the country’s largest publishing empire which chronicled postbellum America in dozens of weeklies and monthlies. A pioneer in an all-male industry\, she made a fortune and became a national celebrity and tastemaker. \nBut Miriam Leslie was a byword for scandal. She flouted feminine mores\, took lovers\, married four times\, and harbored unsavory secrets she concealed through a skein of lies and multiple personas\, including possible mixed-race parentage and a checkered youth. At her death\, she dropped a bombshell: she left her multimillion-dollar estate to Women’s suffrage—a never-equaled amount that guaranteed passage of the 19th Amendment. \nA dazzling biography\, Diamonds and Deadlines reveals the unknown\, sensational life of the brilliant and brazen “Empress of Journalism” who presaged the feminist future and reflected\, in bold relief\, the Gilded Age\, one of the most momentous\, seismic\, and vivid epochs in American history. \nAbout Betsy:\nBetsy Prioleau was born and grew up in Richmond\, Virginia. Her father was portrait artist Hugo Stevens\, and her home life\, full of books\, art\, and talkfests. She worked as a reporter on the Charlottesville Daily Progress and received a B.S. and M.A. from the University of Virginia. \nAfter a Ph.D. in American literature at Duke University\, she taught English and World Literature at Manhattan College\, where she was a tenured associate professor. She was a scholar in residence at New York University\, and most recently\, taught cultural history in the New York University Liberal Studies Program. Besides scholarly articles\, she has written for popular publications and authored four books — Diamonds and Deadlines (2022)\, Swoon (2013)\, Seductress (2003) and Circle of Eros (1983). \nShe lives with her husband Philip in Charleston\, South Carolina and New York City\, and dances with her grandchild Olivia\, gardens\, and swims when she’s not buried in books. \n

SUMMARY:CLS Book Club - Special Guest Presents "Lessons From The Edge: A Memoir by Maria Yovanovitch"
DESCRIPTION:Join CLS Book Club for a discussion of the inspiring and urgent memoir by the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine\, Maria Yovanovitch\, Lessons From The Edge\, led by Jon Gundersen\, retired U.S. diplomat to Ukraine.  This timely analysis will be the perfect springboard for a discussion about the climate of world affairs from a domestic and foreign lens. All are welcome to participate in CLS Book Clubs\, no matter your reading progress! We encourage all to attend\, whether you’ve finished the book\, are thinking about starting it\, or couldn’t make it past the half-way point.  \nCLS Book Club is free and open to the public. All that is required is an RSVP. \nTo RSVP\, fill out the form at the bottom of the page. \nAbout the Book:\n“Lessons From the Edge is a brilliant\, engaging\, and inspiring memoir from one of America’s wisest and most courageous diplomats—essential reading for current policymakers\, aspiring public servants\, and anyone who cares about America’s role in the world.” —Madeleine K. Albright \nAn inspiring and urgent memoir by the ambassador who electrified the nation by speaking truth to power. \nBy the time she became US Ambassador to Ukraine\, Marie Yovanovitch had seen her share of corruption\, instability\, and tragedy in developing countries. But it came as a shock when\, in early 2019\, she was recalled from her post after a smear campaign by President Trump’s personal attorney and his associates—men operating outside of normal governmental channels\, and apparently motivated by personal gain. Her courageous participation in the subsequent impeachment inquiry earned Yovanovitch the nation’s respect\, and her dignified response to the president’s attacks won our hearts. She has reclaimed her own narrative\, first with her lauded congressional testimony\, and now with this memoir. \nA child of parents who survived Soviet and Nazi terror\, Yovanovitch’s life and work have taught her the preciousness of democracy as well as the dangers of corruption. Lessons from the Edge follows the arc of her career as she develops into the person we came to know during the impeachment proceedings.
