SUMMARY:The Fire Inside: The Dharma of James Baldwin and Audre Lorde (ONLINE)
DESCRIPTION:Join us online for a discussion with Dr. Rima Vesely-Flad about her new book The Fire Inside: The Dharma of James Baldwin and Audre Lorde. Black\, queer\, feminist\, Buddhist: The Fire Inside casts a fresh new light on the radical literary legacies of James Baldwin and Audre Lorde. \nThis is an online-only program with the American Writers Museum. \nThis program is presented in conjunction with the AWM’s special exhibit American Prophets: Writers\, Religion\, and Culture\, a powerful new exhibit that takes you on the ultimate exploration through spirituality and storytelling. American Prophets is supported by a grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. through its Religion and Cultural Institutions Initiative. \n \nMore about The Fire Inside: \nThe Fire Inside explores the writings of Audre Lorde and James Baldwin through a Dharmic lens\, revealing for the first time how two of America’s greatest literary voices reflect—and expand—Buddhism’s most timeless truths toward justice and liberation. \nDr. Rima Vesely-Flad dives deeply into a dharma of liberation as lived by Baldwin and Lorde\, offering timely lessons to help us each meet this moment. She explores the writers’ enduring legacies to show that liberation depends not only on organizing and mass movements\, but the generative power of inner well-being\, authenticity\, art\, and embodiment. Each chapter shares how looking inward is the way forward\, examining Baldwin and Lorde through key Buddhist principles. \nThis book offers space for emerging conversations within spiritual communities—ones that don’t shy away from difficult or uncomfortable truths; that center—and celebrate—Black\, queer\, radical thought; and that embrace the ways our inner lives\, creative fire\, sensuality\, and expressions of love can ignite and sustain revolutionary liberation. \nPraise for The Fire Inside: \n“I have followed and admired Rima Vesely-Flad’s work for years. She is tapping resources that all of us can access for greater hope and change.” —MICHELLE ALEXANDER\, author of The New Jim Crow \n“This groundbreaking work is a gift of love reminding us of how Black liberation struggle\, like the dharma itself\, has always been about everyone getting free.” —LAMA ROD OWENS\, author of Love and Rage and The New Saints \n“This is a read not to miss… I find my own embers of wellness\, justice\, and harmony stoked with her joy of expression from the heart and mind on behalf of us all.” —LARRY WARD\, Buddhist teacher\, author\, and cofounder of The Lotus Institute \n“This book is a fire that both illuminates and refines\, a call to engage with the truth of our times while drawing strength from ancestral wisdom.” —RUTH KING\, author of Mindful of Race \nAbout the author: \nDR. RIMA VESELY-FLAD is the Visiting Professor of Buddhism and Black Studies at Union Theological Seminary. She is the author of Black Buddhists and the Black Radical Tradition: The Practice of Stillness in the Movement for Liberation (NYU Press\, 2022) and Racial Purity and Dangerous Bodies: Moral Pollution\, Black Lives\, and the Struggle for Justice (Fortress Press\, 2017).

SUMMARY:Author Talk: "The Invisible Spy" by Thomas Maier (ONLINE)
DESCRIPTION:Author\, television producer\, and former Chicago Sun-Times journalist Thomas Maier visits the American Writers Museum to discuss his new book The Invisible Spy. It is the untold WWII story of Ernest Cuneo\, a former NFL player turned White House insider who worked with Churchill’s undercover agents in New York City to conduct the biggest foreign spy operation ever within the US and how Cuneo later helped inspire Ian Fleming’s James Bond. The Invisible Spy has been praised by The Wall Street Journal and selected in April as an Amazon Editors’s Best Book in History. \nAs an award-winning author and journalist\, Maier will also talk about how his previous books were translated into primetime television shows—Showtime’s Emmy-winning Masters of Sex and Paramount’s Mafia Spies\, both praised by The New York Times. \nThis is the livestream of an in person program at the American Writers Museum. When you register for this event\, you will receive access to the livestream link. If you would like to attend the program in person at the AWM\, get your tickets here. \nMore about The Invisible Spy: \nAs a tough but smart Italian American kid\, Ernest Cuneo played Ivy League football at Columbia University and was in the old Brooklyn Dodgers NFL franchise before becoming a city hall lawyer and “Brain Trust” aide to President Roosevelt. He was on the payroll of national radio columnist Walter Winchell and mingled with the famous and powerful. But his status as a spy remained a secret\, hiding in plain sight. \nDuring this time\, Cuneo began a close friendship with British spy Ian Fleming and helped inspire Fleming’s James Bond novels. He also began a love affair with one of Churchill’s agents at Rockefeller Center—Margaret Watson\, a beautiful Canadian woman with a photographic memory ideal for spycraft. In one nighttime attack\, Watson was nearly smothered to death by a Nazi assassin inside her women’s dormitory near Rockefeller Center. Cuneo’s transformation from a gridiron athlete into a high-stakes intelligence go-between and political influencer is one of the great untold stories of American espionage. He has remained “invisible” in the public eye—until now\, with this unveiled look into his life. \nFrom the bestselling author and producer of two hit TV series\, Mafia Spies and Masters of Sex\, Thomas Maier delves into the little-known tales behind the Rockefeller Center spy operation and the origins of American intelligence. The Invisible Spy weaves Cuneo’s remarkable personal story with vivid insights about many top twentieth-century figures\, including Churchill\, FDR and later JFK. Full of action and fascinating characters\, this untold history reveals how Cuneo\, as America’s first WWII spy\, helped the British launch a covert campaign against Nazi conspirators hidden in America\, an espionage war unbeknownst to many.
