We have some great events coming up in February!

Thursday, 08 February @ 7pm
ALEXIS ZEIGLER | CULTURE CHANGE: CIVIL LIBERTY, PEAK OIL, AND THE END OF 
EMPIRE
What impact will Peak Oil have on the political culture of the U.S.? 
What is the connection between the ecological limits we have already 
reached on the growth of militarism, fundamentalism, and male supremacy? 
How can we downscale and localize our economy to reduce our energy and 
resource use? Alexis Zeigler, author of the new book, Culture Change; 
Civil Liberty, Peak Oil, and the End of Empire will conduct a 
presentation and discussion of these issues.

ZELDA LOCKHART | COLD RUNNING CREEK
Lockhart, author of Fifth Born, will be here to discuss her latest 
novel, Cold Running Creek. It is a lyrical, personal, and profoundly 
realistic portrayal of figures of our past whose stories, until now, lay 
buried beneath the rubble of slavery and Civil War. Lockhart presents a 
novel that is as significant as Alex Haley’s Roots and as sensitive in 
the portrayal of its characters as Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were 
Watching God.

INGA MUSCIO | AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A BLUE-EYED DEVIL
Infamous author of Cunt, Inga Muscio will be here to discuss her latest 
work, which examines the state of history and its flaws. She sets out to 
rewrite a history that has been traditionally steeped in misogyny, 
racism, imperialism, and classism. In doing so, she calls for a fresh 
look at what we consider factual history.
