Join Susan in supporting your library by donating a new or gently used fiction or nonfiction title
that evening. In return, she will give you a new, signed paperback of Take One Candle Light a Room. Take One Candle Light A Room is “...a searing, ultimately redemptive novel about America’s legacy
of racial violence and a woman’s struggle to forge her own identity.... Straight writes about the
thorny subject of race with sensitivity and nuance.” - Kirkus Reviews
Susan Straight has published six novels, including Highwire Moon, the 2001 Finalist for the National
Book Award, and A Million Nightingales, the 2006 Finalist for the LATimes Book Prize. Her new novel,
Take One Candle Light a Room, is a companion to Nightingales. She was born in Riverside, California,
where she lives with her family. She is the first Inlandia Literary Laureate.

SPOKEN MUSIC: THE POETIC PULSE
Rhyming and Timing in the Modern World with Sierra LaPoint

3581 Mission Inn Avenue
6:30 - 7:00 Meet and Greet
7:00 - 7:30 Sierra Sings and Plays
7:30 - 8:00 Audience Sings and Plays Along
Sierra LaPoint is a local performance poet for whom the sounds of selected syllables
spoken together are almost as significant as the words and statements themselves. Emphasizing mood and moments of raw emotion, LaPoint’s work seeks to
encapsulate the range of sensations evoked by a given experience. In a ‘slam’
style deriving from theater, spoken word and underground hip-hop, LaPoint’s
performances use rolling rhythm, rhyme, and personal cadence to portray the
innately human attempt to understand one’s self and one’s surroundings.
LaPoint was awarded Third Place at a national poetry slam in 2010.
She has performed regularly in Southern California and appeared alongside Def Jam
Poets at the opening of the Culver Center for the Arts in downtown Riverside. Most
recently, LaPoint was featured at the opening of Studio Ping Pong in Brighton, England.
