Join us at Pegasus Books Downtown on Thursday, June 27th for an evening of music, text, and storytelling with Alan Bern, Berkeley-based storyteller, performer, author of IN THE PACE OF THE PATH. Bern's reading will be accompanied by music from cellist Gael Alcock. Recently released by UnCollected Press, IN THE PACE OF THE PATH is a hybrid work of poetry, prose, and photos that charts Bern's life in his hometown of Berkeley and his career at the Berkeley Public Library.
From 6:30-7pm, browse books and enjoy Bach's Cello Suite #4 performed by Alcock, in memory of Larry Bensky, host of KPFA’s 'Sunday Salon' and ‘Piano’." Reading and conversation with Bern will follow, at 7pm. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing at the reading.
______________________
Alan Bern’s IN THE PACE OF THE PATH walks the border between poetry and prose, between the surreal and the realism where surrealism spawns, between the past and future which is the pace of the moment by moment of a life. I have learned from Bern’s clarity in poetry and prose to walk the edges of my homeland and step out into the unknown, while carrying the life I have lived within me. This is such an important work to read now and reread as we move through our lives.
