Global Threads: Stories from Around the World with Omope Carter-Daboiku

September 12, 2020 By Dayton Most Metro

To celebrate Welcoming Week, September 12 – 20,  the Dayton Metro Library has invited celebrated storyteller Omope Carter-Daboiku to share some of her favorite stories – some new, some old – that promote the universal values of cooperation, honesty, integrity and faith. All of her stories are adaptations of traditional ethnic folklore.

 

A different story will be posted on the Library’s Facebook page each day at 7:00 pm. The videos can be viewed anytime after the premier times listed below:

 

Tue., Sept. 15: Sky Blanket – cooperation between groups that don’t look alike

Wed., Sept. 16: 2 Good Yards of Cloth – honesty; appreciation for elders builds character

Thur., Sept. 17: The Seed – integrity means doing the right thing, even when no one is looking

Fri., Sept. 18: Mouse Seeks His Vision Quest – faith leads us to our destiny

 

Daboiku is an accomplished performance artist who has performed throughout the U.S. and internationally, including Turkey on behalf of the U.S. State Department. Her performances are lively, interactive, and uniquely designed from a global repertoire.

“Immigrants enrich our culture by adding their folklore and personal narratives of their journey to become citizens of the United States,” said Daboiku.

Daboiku’s affiliation with Dayton Metro Library began with “Jack and his cousin Brer Rabbit,” which explored traditional Appalachian tales. In 2019, she created “Star Stories and Constellations” for the Library’s Summer Challenge. This past February, she conducted the Muse Machine residency, “Making Art, Building Community,” with middle school students at Stivers and Ruskin. She wrote scripts from the students’ life stories, and staged an evening performance at the Main Library. Currently, she is a community producer with WYSO, vice-president of the Ohio Storytelling Network, and a published poet. Her other passions include textile art, writing about growing up in Appalachia, world history, and urban agriculture.

Dayton Book Fair Chooses Beneficiaries for 2020

February 6, 2020 By Dayton Most Metro

The Dayton Book Fair announced that they have chosen this year’s three beneficiaries to receive proceeds from their 50th anniversary Book Sale in November 2020. Each beneficiary will receive a grant of around ten thousand dollars.

This year the three beneficiaries are:

The Dayton International Peace Museum is the only brick and mortar Peace Museum in North or South America and the houses the only interactive exhibit on the Dayton Peace Accords in the world. They are the official repository for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize and run a very successful Peace Camp for children ages 5-12. They maintain changing exhibits on the many challenges to peace and peacemaking including the effects of violence and war, gun culture, poverty, bullying, the environment, and international cooperation.

The Xenia Area Community Theater is an all-volunteer theater and gallery space established in 2005 to serve area interests in performing and fine arts and stimulate community involvement in those areas. They produce eight fully staged plays during their regular season (to date more than 100 productions) along with several summer shows and youth camps. Their plans for the grant from the Book Fair Foundation include a week-long Special Needs Children’s Initiative workshop and performance for children on the Autism Spectrum, and to improve theatre accessibility to a variety of groups whose ability to attend live theater is hampered by ticket cost.

WYSO, the public radio station long-associated with Antioch College has recently separated their university relationship to become an independent entity. While much of their budget pays for nationally syndicated public radio programming, the grant from the Dayton Book Fair will enable them to fund grassroots programming in the Center for Community Voices, for the documentary and story-telling segments produced by Dayton Youth Radio, Women’s Voices (produced by female inmates at a Dayton correctional facility) and County Lines, focusing on the rural populations in our community.

“It is challenging to choose just three,” said Dayton Book Fair Executive Director Larkin Vonalt. “It is a multi-day project for the Foundation’s board to winnow down from dozens of excellent organizations all doing important work to just three.”

Asked about criteria that the board might consider in choosing the finalists, Ms. Vonalt noted that they examine the size of the organization, the need for funding, and how the board feels that the year-long partnership will work.

“There are so many intangibles,” she added, “and at the very end when we’ve narrowed it to just a few, it often comes down to what kind of fit it will be for all of us.”

The Dayton Book Fair board handles grant-making a little differently than other foundations, requiring a year-long informal partnership with the beneficiaries. Organizations chosen are asked to promote the sale through a variety of means, they are encouraged to hold a book drive and required to volunteer at least 40 hours over the year.

Since 2015 the Foundation has made grants to 16 different organizations in the Dayton Community, giving away more than $130,000 over the last five years. The Dayton Book Fair is Ohio’s largest used book sale and each year rehomes about 40 tons of books, records, puzzles, and games.

“While the grant-making is an essential part of our existence, and we are delighted to be able to support so many exceptional Dayton-area non-profits, we have discovered that we have another remarkably important mission in providing a meaningful and purposeful venue where people can donate their beloved books,” Ms. Vonalt commented, noting that they collect books all year round at their office at 2181 Embury Park Rd as well as offering a free pick up service for those who need it and collaborating twice a year with all the Dayton area Grismer Tire Stores for book “round-ups” the last week of May and August.

Those donated books are then sorted, priced and packed for the sale held each year the second weekend in November at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds, and the proceeds from that sale used in making grants to community non-profit organizations working in the areas of arts, education, social welfare, literacy and community development.

Do You Have Something to Say About Dayton?

November 25, 2019 By Lisa Grigsby

Belt Publishing will be compiling an anthology of essays about Dayton in 2020 as part of our City Anthology Series.

It was one of America’s earliest centers of innovation, a hub of creativity in the early 20th century that made the name Dayton synonymous with progress.

The region’s close-knit communities facilitated an incubator of industrial and artistic development long before the concept became identified with 21st century tech hubs. People with big dreams rubbed shoulders with others who possessed big ideas, leading to the creation of the Wright brothers’ airplane, John H. Patterson’s cash register, Paul Laurence Dunbar’s poetry and Charles Kettering’s self-starting engine within a 20-year period in the early 1900s.

Even as Dayton began grappling with the ills that befell most Rust Belt cities in the second half of the century – factory shutdowns, racial tensions, a population exodus — Daytonians were still creating. A funk music movement emerged in the mid-1970s that followed the same pattern of its manufacturing predecessors – groups formed through high school music classes or the local music scene and artists stayed in town after achieving success, mentoring their younger counterparts as they all became architects of Dayton funk.

And now, Ohio’s sixth-largest city is ready to innovate again. How does Dayton’s past inform its current post-manufacturing era identity and its future? How will the city’s efforts to brand itself as a welcoming location for immigrants encourage a new era of innovation, and can its downtown revitalization be inclusive of all its citizens?

They are looking for stories, reflections, poems, and reported essays from the city and surrounding locales that put Dayton in perspective for both longtime residents, newcomers and outsiders.  Submissions can be related to a specific place, event (personal or historical), or personage, and must take place in or around the city. Stories from the area’s colleges and universities, including historically black Central State University and Wilberforce University, are very much welcome. All stories should evoke the feel of the city in a meaningful way.

They are actively looking for stories from African American, Latinx, Asian American, immigrant and LGBTQ+ communities, so please circulate. Stories that have a specific perspective and point of view, in which something happens, something changes, and/or something is lost or found, will be prioritized.

Authors can submit multiple pieces. We will accept previously published pieces, but the author must include the original publication information and have the rights to the piece. Accepted submissions will likely be edited in coordination with the author.

The anthology will be edited by Shannon Shelton Miller, a former newspaper journalist and nationally published author.

Submissions are due by December 1, 2019.

To submit an entry, please:

-Include author’s full name and contact information (phone, email, address and 3-4 sentence bio).

-Indicate where the author lives/where the piece takes place

-Write “SUBMISSION” on the subject line.

Submit all entries and questions to: [email protected]

-Nonfiction essays between 300 and 5000 words.
-Poetry related to Dayton.
-Space pending, we may publish longform pieces over 2000 words. Query first.
-No Fiction, sorry!

SUNDAY MOVIES @ MAIN Free Films at the Main Library

January 13, 2019 By Dayton Most Metro

What better way to spend a winter Sunday afternoon than watching a cinematic gem on a big screen – for free? Dayton Metro Library began a new Sunday Movies @ Main series on January 6th. Each Sunday features a different film – from overlooked masterpieces and classics to foreign films, independent cinema and documentaries. All films start at 1:30pm in the Main Library’s Eichelberger Forum, 215 E. Third Street, and are free and open to the public.

 

Other films scheduled in January are the Dutch classic Antonia’s Line on January 13, and the Academy Award nominated documentary Faces Places on January 27 (the Library is closed on Sunday, January 20). Coming attractions in February are the original 1937 version of A Star is Born starring Janet Gaynor; Paper Moon, starring Ryan O’Neil and his then 9-year-old daughter Tatum; and the critically acclaimed 1979 film My Brilliant Career.

 

“It’s really an eclectic selection of films you’re not likely to find elsewhere,” said Chuck Duritsch, External Relations Manager and coordinator of the series. “I’m especially excited about showing the 1950 film noir Woman on the Run on March 3. This rediscovered gem was restored by the Film Noir Foundation, after the only American print had been destroyed in a fire.”

 

All of the films in the Sunday Movies @ Main series are from the Library’s Kanopy collection. Dayton Metro Library began offering Kanopy, an on-demand film streaming service, in July 2018. Kanopy offers what the New York Times calls “a garden of cinematic delights.” It showcases more than 30,000 films including award-winning documentaries, rare and hard-to-find titles, film festival favorites, indie films, and world cinema. Library cardholders can access Kanopy from DaytonMetroLibrary.org.

 

Inspired by the impressive variety of films in the collection, Duritsch coordinated the Sunday Movies @ Main series.

 

“We intentionally picked a variety of films to start with, so we can see what our audience responds to,” said Duritsch. “Our hope is that the series catches on, and we can form a selection committee that includes Library patrons as well as staff.”

 

The Main Library’s Eichelberger Forum features a DLP Laser Projector and a 226” screen with 18.8-foot diagonal viewing space.

 

“We have casual, flexible seating so people can make themselves comfortable, bring a snack, and enjoy these movies for free,” said Duritsch.

 

See the schedule below. A printed schedule for January-February, with descriptions of each film, is available at any Dayton Metro Library location. Descriptions for all films are also online at DaytonMetroLibrary.org/Events.

Former Navy Seal Discusses His War Experience

May 28, 2018 By Dayton Most Metro

JAMES HATCH, former special ops Navy SEAL, will discuss his book Touching the Dragon: And Other Techniques for Surviving Life’s Wars on Wednesday, May 30 at 7 pm at Books & Co. at The Greene, 4453 Walnut Street, Dayton.   

After detailing many of his experiences during 24 years in service to our country, he writes of the harrowing mission when his SEAL team crew was attempting to rescue a rogue soldier – Pvt. Bowe Bergdahl – during which Hatch suffered severe wounds that ended his military career.  Coming home after all those years in special operations missions was difficult for him; leading to despair, alcoholism and the pull toward suicide.   Finally through the love of family, friends, soldiers, and his specially trained military dogs, he found a purpose in going on.  By “touching the dragon” he found his way back.

During his adjustment to life in the States, he realized how important his specially trained military dogs were to him in his war years and could be again.   He started the Spike’sK9Fund, which is dedicated to his K9 dog called Spike who was killed in war action.  This fund is a national 501©3 non-profit organization focused on providing protective vests for police and SWATK9s.  The fund also rehabs K9 agility courses used to train police dogs.  Information about this group will be available at the event.

DAYTON LITERARY PEACE PRIZE TO HONOR COLM TÓIBÍN

July 13, 2017 By Lisa Grigsby

Irish novelist, journalist, and essayist Colm Tóibín, whose fiction and nonfiction captures in heartbreaking detail the impact of exile and political conflict on individual lives, will receive the 2017 Richard C. Holbrooke Distinguished Achievement Award, organizers of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize announced today.

Named in honor of the celebrated U.S. diplomat who played an instrumental role in negotiating the 1995 Dayton Peace Accords that ended the war in Bosnia, the award will be presented to Tóibín at the Dayton Literary Peace Prize Gala on November 5th. Founded in 2005, The Dayton Literary Peace Prize is the only international literary peace prize awarded in the United States. It honors writers whose work uses the power of literature to foster peace, social justice, and global understanding. The Richard C. Holbrooke Distinguished Achievement Award recognizes authors for their complete body of work.

Born in Ireland in 1955, Colm Tóibín is widely recognized as one of today’s greatest living writers. His experiences as a gay man, an expatriate, and an international journalist have shaped his novels, which often explore themes of exile, homecoming, and reconciliation.

Tóibín spent his early twenties as an expatriate in Spain, where he witnessed the country’s return to democracy after decades of dictatorship and found the inspiration for his 1990 debut novel, The South. As a journalist he traveled to South America in the 1980s, which he later captured in his 1996 novel The Story of the Night, the story of a gay man coming of age in Argentina during the Falklands War. Three of his novels – The Blackwater Lightship (1999), about three generations of estranged Irish women coming together to care for a son who is dying of AIDS, The Master (2004), which explored the later life of Henry James, including his feelings of guilt and regret over his homosexuality, and The Testament of Mary (2012) – were short-listed for the Man Booker Prize. Other notable works include the novels Brooklyn (2009), which was adapted into a 2015 film nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture, and House of Names (2017), which explores how violence begets further acts of violence through a reimagination of the story of Clytemnestra. Tóibín is also the author of several nonfiction works, including 1987’s Bad Blood, which documents Tóibín’s summer-long walk along the violence-plagued border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and the 2002 essay collection Love in a Dark Time: Gay Lives from Wilde to Almodovar.

“Colm Tóibín’s work invites readers to contemplate the deep sadness of exile – from mother or brother, from nation, from oneself – to understand how accidents of geography and family shape identity, and how quirks of circumstance can harden or soften hearts,” said Sharon Rab, founder and co-chair of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize Foundation. “The surprising turns in his fiction and nonfiction that illustrate the longings and complexity of his characters, even those whose actions we may deplore, remind us of our shared humanity and offer the possibility of reconciliation or simply of understanding, which are the first steps to making peace.”

Tóibín shared the following statement on winning the Holbrooke Prize:

“Our task as writers is to work on our sentences, pay close attention to the rhythm, texture and tone of prose. Mostly, our books will be read silently, as they are written silently. Our aim is to reach the reader’s imagination, have an effect on the nervous systems of other people. In ways that are both powerful and mysterious a book or a story can deepen the complexity of who we are in the world, how we feel, offering no easy resolutions, no simple images. Through fiction, we learn to see others. The page is not a mirror. It is blank when I start to write, but it contains a version of the world when I finish. It is there for others to be inspired by. Slowly then, a sentence or set of sentences that have their own integrity, their own sense of balance, their own striving towards worth, can become a sonorous metaphor for much else, including for how we might live in the world, how we might see others, what we might do. Good writing thus has elements and undercurrents that are moral as much as aesthetic. Good sentences offer us a way to imagine life in all its strangeness and ambiguity and possibility, alert us to the power of the imagination to transform and transcend our nature, offer us a blueprint not only for who we are but for who we might be, who we might become.”

Tóibín will join the ranks of past winners of the Richard C. Holbrooke Distinguished Achievement Award, formerly called the Lifetime Achievement Award, including Studs Terkel (2006), Elie Wiesel (2007), Taylor Branch (2008), Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn (2009), Geraldine Brooks (2010), Barbara Kingsolver (2011), Tim O’Brien (2012), Wendell Berry (2013), Louise Erdrich (2014), Gloria Steinem (2015), and Marilynne Robinson (2017) .

Finalists for the 2017 Dayton Literary Peace Prize will be announced on September 13, 2017.

The Antioch Writers’ Workshop Draws Stellar Faculty

May 23, 2017 By Dayton Most Metro

The Antioch Writers’ Workshop at the University of Dayton will hold its 32nd annual summer program July 8-14, 2017. This summer marks the workshop’s first summer program presented in partnership with University of Dayton, on the university’s campus.

Participants may opt for the Full Week experience, attending morning classes as well as selecting an afternoon seminar focused on fiction, creative nonfiction or poetry. Or, they may choose an A La Carte option, attending a smaller segment of the workshop. Options are available for all schedules, writing levels and budgets.

Registration for attending the full conference is open through June 16 on the workshop’s website, www.antiochwritersworkshop.com. A La Carte registration is open through July 5.

Keynoter and Sunday Morning Creative Writing Craft instructor is John Scalzi, a science fiction author and former president of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. He is best known for his Old Man’s War series, three novels of which have been nominated for the Hugo Award, and for his blog Whatever, at which he has written frequently on a number of topics since 1998. His novel Redshirts won the 2013 Hugo Award for Best Novel. John is also the recipient of the 2016 Ohio Governor’s Award for an Individual Artist.

Scalzi’s keynote, which will be delivered at University of Dayton, is Saturday July 8 at 7 pm, and is free and open to the public. The workshop is able to provide this free event, as well as faculty and participant readings July 9-13 and other free events throughout the year, thanks to a grant from the Ohio Arts Council.

A “Saturday Seminar” on July 8 will be held before the keynote as a “prologue” to the weeklong workshop, and may be attended by itself or as part of the workshop week. Featured speaker is Jessica Strawser, editorial director of Writer’s Digest magazine and author of the novel “Almost Missed You.”

Faculty from across the United States includes award-winning mystery novelist Lori Rader-Day (“The Day I Died”), best-selling nonfiction author Matthew Goodman (“Eighty Days”), novelist Crystal Wilkinson (“The Birds of Opulence”) and other instructors. Agent Kari Sutherland (the Bradford Literary Agency) and editor Kevin Morgan Watson (Press 53) will also be on hand to take pitches and answer questions about the business of publishing.

The workshop, originally started by Antioch College in 1987, has operated as an independent 501c3 nonprofit since 1992. In addition to its in-kind partnership with University of Dayton and grant support from the Ohio Arts Council, Antioch Writers’ Workshop at University of Dayton receives support and sponsorship from WYSO 91.3 FM, Books & Co. at The Greene, and local businesses in and Dayton.
