ABOUT THE BOOK:
The prose poems--or flash fiction pieces--are set in the late sixties, and are based on Dr. Barker's experiences in Berkeley while teaching ninth-graders (not that much older than the students herself), during the time the school district had just become racially "integrated."
The poems trace the bittersweet, erotically compelling love affair between a young white married high school teacher and one of her African-American colleagues.
Time:2:00PM Saturday, December 5th
