Reading and talk by poet Susan Suntree at Flintridge Bookstore and Coffeehouse
Sunday, March 20, 3 – 5 P.M.
 


La Canada Flintridge – On Sunday, March 20, from 3-5 P.M., Flintridge Bookstore and Coffeehouse presents SACRED SITES: The Secret History of Southern California, a reading and talk by poet Susan Suntree.
 
A history that is equal parts science and mythology, Sacred Sites offers a rare and poetic vision of a world composed of dynamic natural forces and mythic characters. The result is a singular and memorable account of the evolution of the Southern California landscape, reflecting the riches of both Native knowledge and Western scientific thought.



Beginning with Western science, poet Susan Suntree carries readers from the Big Bang to the present as she describes the origins of the universe, the shifting of tectonic plates, and an evolving array of plants and animals that give Southern California its unique features today. She tells of the migration of humans into the region, where they settled, and how they lived. Complementing this narrative and reflecting the Native People’s view of their own history and way of life, Suntree recounts the creation myths and songs that tell the story of the First People, of unforgettable shamans and heroes, and of the origins and migrations of human beings.



Featuring contemporary photographs of rarely seen landmarks along with meticulous research, Sacred Sites provides unusual insight into how natural history and mythology, and scientific and intuitive thinking combine to create an ever-deepening sense of a place and its people.



Susan Suntree’s previous books include Wisdom of the East: Stories of Compassion, Inspiration, and Love; Moreno ; and Eye of the Womb. She teaches at East Los angeles College .



She collaborated with several individuals in the publishing of this book. Gary Snyder, who wrote the foreword, received the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry for Turtle Island and the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize. Lowell John Bean, who contributed the introduction, is an anthropologist and the author and editor of numerous books and articles about California and Southwest Native American cultures and peoples. Juergen Nogai, whose photography appears throughout the book, has had work in magazines, books, and museum and gallery exhibitions worldwide.
