SUMMARY:Tichý\, introvertní večer na památku Emily Dickinsonové
DESCRIPTION:Letos si připomínáme významné výročí – 140 let od úmrtí proslulé americké básnířky Emily Dickinsonové. Právě z její básně „This is my letter to the World“ (Toto je můj dopis světu) jsme převzali název letošního ročníku festivalu Den poezie. Její poezie\, tichá a introvertní\, za jejího života z velké části nevydaná\, měla obrovský dopad a dodnes oslovuje čtenáře po celém světě. \nPřijďte na tento večer se svou oblíbenou básní Emily Dickinsonové – v jakémkoli jazyce – a připojte se k nám při vzpomínce na tuto výjimečnou ženu 19. století\, která nám má co říci i dnes. Možná dnes dokonce ještě více. \nVečer se zúčastní čeští i zahraniční básníci a básnířky z festivalu\, mimo jiné Josef Straka a Vít Janota\, a také současná rezidentka projektu Praha – město literatury Isobelle Carmody. Zpívat a hrát bude Adelaide Carmody Štolba. \nVíce na http://www.denpoezie.cz

SUMMARY:Dawn by Octavia E. Butler
DESCRIPTION:Lilith Iyapo has just lost her husband and son when atomic fire consumes Earth—the last stage of the planet’s final war. Hundreds of years later Lilith awakes\, deep in the hold of a massive alien spacecraft piloted by the Oankali—who arrived just in time to save humanity from extinction. They have kept Lilith and other survivors asleep for centuries\, as they learned whatever they could about Earth. Now it is time for Lilith to lead them back to her home world\, but life among the Oankali on the newly resettled planet will be nothing like it was before. \nThe Oankali survive by genetically merging with primitive civilizations—whether their new hosts like it or not. For the first time since the nuclear holocaust\, Earth will be inhabited. Grass will grow\, animals will run\, and people will learn to survive the planet’s untamed wilderness. But their children will not be human. Not exactly.
