The NewSouth Bookstore actively hosts bookstore and off-site literary programs — book talks and readings — along with a variety of other programs both entertaining and educational. These include presentations by historians, readings of plays, music events, and community service programs. We enjoy such gatherings quite a lot. Our bookstore events calendar is always evolving, so please regularly check back here for updates to our calendar (and/or follow us on social media, where all such activities are also posted). We welcome your event suggestions and thank you for your support.
Alexis Pauline Gumbs is our special guest at The NewSouth Bookstore on Thursday, March 20 at 5:30pm. She visits with her extraordinary new biography on Audre Lorde, iconic poet/writer and teacher, feminist and activist, titled Survival Is a Promise: The Eternal Life of Audre Lord. In the book, Gumbs probes how Lorde’s life was animated by awareness of her place in the cosmos and a desire to be one with the earth in her life, writing, and politics. Come meet Gumbs and learn more about the enduring legacy of Audre Lorde.
