FREE IN-STORE EVENT: Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes Angie Sijun Lou and Karen Tei Yamashita for the launch of Dark Soil: Fictions and Mythographies—a new anthology edited by Lou and featuring ten new stories from Yamashita, all centered around Santa Cruz's history, along with eight works of nonfiction from authors including Brandon Shimoda and Juliana Spahr.
"Karen Tei Yamashita and the essayists of Dark Soil have brought to life figures who have been passed over in history and literature. This book is like burning thousands of incense sticks in their honor. Dark Soil is a must read." —George Ow Jr.
