Danny Caine!

You may have noticed that there aren’t many Skylark events going on right now - that’s because the Unbound Book Festival is in full flow and is putting on two events a week, which is giving everyone pretty much all the literary online goodness they need. (It’s been a stunning program so far, by the way.)

That said, we’ve just added an event for early April that we’re really looking forward to. Danny Caine, who in addition to being one of our favorite poets is also the owner of Raven Book Store in Lawrence, Kansas, has been an outspoken critic of the seemingly unstoppable Goliath of the bookselling world: Amazon. In HOW TO RESIST AMAZON AND WHY, he lays out the case for shifting our personal money and civic investment away from global corporate behemoths and to small, local, independent businesses. It’s a funny, sharp, essential book, and everyone should read it. Danny will be in conversation with Alex - for more details click here.

The fun starts at 7:00 p.m. CST on Friday, April 9. See you there?
