We’ll start with pie at 6 p.m.\, then\, at 7\, fiction writer Sam Ligon and poet Elissa Ball will read their own pie writing\, followed by Kate\, who will read from Book of Pie. Fiction writer Kristen Millares Young will host and facilitate a brief Q&A with Kate. \nAbout A Commonplace Book of Pie \n“If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch\, you must first invent the universe.”—Carl Sagan \nPoet and baker Kate Lebo takes her cue from Carl Sagan’s quote to reinterpret everything we thought we knew about pie. Lebo calls the book “a collection of facts\, both real and imagined\, about pie.” It includes time-proven recipes\, an eclectic mix of prose poems\, a pie horoscope\, and ephemera. Lebo explores the tension between the container and the contained while also busting clichés and creating new myths around strawberry rhubarb\, vanilla cream\, mincemeat\, and many other pies. A Commonplace Book of Pie expands on Lebo’s successful chapbook of the same name that has two thousand copies in circulation. The book includes two dozen watercolors and illustrations by artist Jessica Lynn Bonin that reinterpret pie and baking in a contemporary\, feminist context. \n \nAbout Kate Lebo \nKate Lebo makes poems and pies—often at the same time—in Seattle\, Washington.
