McAuliffe Morning Book Club: “Lavinia” by Ursula K. Le Guin
The Aeneid, Virgil's hero, fights to claim the king’s daughter, Lavinia, with whom he is destined to found an empire. Lavinia herself never speaks a word. Now, Ursula K. Le Guin gives Lavinia a voice in a novel that takes us to the half-wild world of ancient Italy, when Rome was a muddy village near seven hills.
Lavinia grows up knowing nothing but peace and freedom, until suitors come. Her mother wants her to marry handsome, ambitious Turnus. But omens and prophecies spoken by the sacred springs say she must marry a foreigner--that she will be the cause of a bitter war--and that her husband will not live long. When a fleet of Trojan ships sails up the Tiber, Lavinia decides to take her destiny into her own hands. And so she tells us what Virgil did not: the story of her life, and of the love of her life.
Lavinia is a book of passion and war, generous and austerely beautiful, from a writer working at the height of her powers.

Lifelong Learning Lecture: “The Agony and Bliss of the Creative Process”
Coco Berkman: Artist/Printmaker
Drawing is key for professional artist Coco Berkman. She makes many bad drawings and scribbles before she unearths an image that has a certain meaning and magic worthy of her undivided attention. Working with Japanese carving tools and printing on an etching press, her reductive linoleum prints take several months to complete. Coco is familiar with the great struggle most artists wrestle with when choosing to dedicate their lives to making “Art” and she has a few nuggets of wisdom and anecdotes to share with us about her creative process.
