SUMMARY:Literary Lunch: Evening Edition
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special Literary Lunch: Evening Edition in Congress Square Park with Gibson Fay-LeBlanc and Max GarciaDeke Dangle Dive by Gibson Fay-LeBlanc Conover. Gibson and Max will have a conversation about Gibson’s new book Deke\, Dangle\, Dive\, and discuss songwriting\, poetry\, and more with some live music from Max. Print: A Bookstore will have copies of the book for sale at the event.\n\nAbout Deke\, Dangle\, Dive\nWhat is a person to do upon finding out that his older brother has six months to live? What is a father to tell his young sons about the everyday violence\, inequities\, and injustices of the world? What is a husband to do when confronted with his domestic foibles and failings? What can poems possibly offer us in the face of unanswerable questions? Deke Dangle Dive explores illness\, fatherhood\, brotherhood\, and masculinity through a variety of lenses\, including ice hockey\, contemporary culture\, and the natural world. This unique collection considers how poems can speak to us and through us when all seems lost.

SUMMARY:T'ai Chi
DESCRIPTION:Free Tai Chi Chih/Qigong classes will be taught in Congress Square Park May through September. All classes will occur twice weekly — on Mondays from 9:30 until 10:30 am and Wednesdays from 10 until 11 am\, led by \nSara Leonard.\n\nOld pros and those who have just started practice\, as well as curious bystanders of all ages welcome!\nAlways FREE to the public.\n\n*What’s Tai Chi?*\nTai chi is an ancient Chinese tradition that\, today\, is practiced as a graceful form of exercise. It involves a series of movements performed in a slow\, focused manner and accompanied by deep breathing.\nA noncompetitive\, self-paced system of gentle physical exercise and stretching\, each posture flows into the next without pause\, ensuring that your body is in constant motion.\nTai chi is low impact and puts minimal stress on muscles and joints\, making it generally safe for all ages and fitness levels. In fact\, because tai chi is a low-impact exercise\, it may be especially suitable if you’re an older adult who otherwise may not exercise.\n
