1:00 pm: CONVERSATIONS AT THE CULVER WITH ALISON BEINS WHITE AND KATIE FORD


February 4, 2018

Inlandia Institute’s Conversations at the Culver presents The Surviving Child: A reading and discussion with poets Katie Ford and Alison Benis White. This event will be held on Sunday, February 4, 2018 at 1 pm at the UCR Barbara and Art Culver Center of the Arts building located at 3834 Main St, Riverside, CA 92501.

Katie Ford is the award-winning author of four books of poetry, including ‘If You Have To Go’, forthcoming in August 2018 from Graywolf Press. She is Professor of Creative Writing and Director of the MFA Program at the University of California, Riverside.

In his review of Ford’s Blood Lyrics, Kyle Martindale says, “We may read Katie Ford’s Blood Lyrics, in the way that we may live for a while beside a master poet, and join in her pangs and violet epiphanies. There is transport to be found in her book—in the sheer tremendousness of her images, and the leaping power of her metaphors, often leaping simultaneously into mystery while rendering certainties.”

Allison Benis White is the author of ‘Please Bury Me in This’ (2017), ‘Small Porcelain Head’, selected by Claudia Rankine for the Levis Prize in Poetry, and ‘Self-Portrait with Crayon’.

“‘I want to tell you something memorable,’ White writes, ‘something you could wear around your neck.’ Yet this stunning collection does much more, confronting instead the philosophical problems inherent in our desire to memorialize the lost other in language. . . .” Los Angeles Review of Books on ‘Please Bury Me in This’

This event is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase and signing. Light refreshments will be served. For more information, please call Inlandia at 951 790 2458 or email inlandia@inlandiainstitute.org.

7:00 pm: ARTS WALK FOR BOOK LOVERS PRESENTS, “OLD MONEY:'DID YOU FIND ANY GOLD DOWN THERE?” wWITH MARGIE AND KEVIN AKIN


March 1, 2018

On March 1, join us as we welcome Marjorie and Kevin Akin, authors of Numismatic Archeology of North America: A Field Guide. We will explore the fascinating history of coin collecting. Event will take place at 7 pm at the Riverside Public Library downtown, upstairs.

Marjorie Akin, PhD is an independent researcher, author, and community activist. Marjorie (Margie) Akin has spent most of her life in California where she completed her education (Ph.D. University of California, Riverside, 1996) married and raised four children. A proud product of UCR’s four-field approach to anthropology, she has worked professionally as an archaeologist, applied medical anthropologist, and has written on a wide range of topics. Her area of specialization within the field of historic archaeology is numismatics and included among her publications are contributions to Roberta Greenwood’s “Down by the Station: Los Angeles Chinatown 1890-1933,” Julia Costello’s “The Luck of Third Street,” and many journal articles and reports about Asian coins recovered in North America. Her publications in other fields include the seminal essay “Passionate Possession: the Formation of private collections” (Smithsonian 1992) which examined the world of collectors and the often-fractious relationship between archaeologists and collectors.

Margie feels strongly that those who wish to learn from the past have an obligation to actively work to protect remaining resources. As a result, she has been active in the Riverside “Save Our Chinatown Committee” serving on the board since the committee was created in 2008 to protect the archaeological remains of Riverside’s Chinatown from development. (See www.saveourchinatown.net)

Kevin Akin, a retired steam engineer, has collected and studied coins and tokens since he was 8 years old. He has provided physical labor for Margie Akin’s archaeological projects for 42 years, and has designed a number of medals for numismatic and community organizations. The author of two local history books on the Riverside area, he has also published articles on local history and numismatics. Kevin and Margie Akin have four adult children and five grandchildren.

This event is FREE and open to the public. The event will be followed by light refreshments. The Riverside Public Library is located at 3851 Mission Inn Avenue in the heart of downtown Riverside.
