    Bookable Space with Bear

    In this episode of Bookable Space, we’re joined by Bear. Bear reads from Becoming Raven Bear, An Alaskan Magical Memoir, and talks to us about who we are when we change our surroundings, building a home, and building ourselves. Its one of my favorite episodes. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. About the Author: From 1968-1971, Bear traveled around the United States with his partner Jessica. They ultimately ended up in Alaska where they delivered their daughter in a remote cabin on the Yukon River in January of 1973. They split up in 1975 but still built another cabin in the Alaskan wilderness. Upon leaving that cabin alone on November 1st Bear froze his feet hiking on the river and almost died. He was stuck in an abandoned mining camp for 9 days waiting to be rescued. Summary Becoming Ravenbear is set in the late 1960s through 1975. Follow Efrem/Bear/Ravenbear through his adventures and struggles as he travels around Europe, the United States and in the wildness of Alaska and the Yukon Territory. Join him as he searches for his spiritual connections and comes to trust the spirits of the deep wilderness.

    Bookable Space with Lucie Andre

    In this episode of Bookable Space, Lucie Andre reads to us from Never Ready and talks about writing about the Aids crisis, what writing NYC and memory make possible, writing as a time capsule and more.  About the Author: Lucie André moved to New York with a BA from UVa and few skills beyond waitressing and reading. Her love of art, people, and art-people led her to fundraising for some of the city’s best organizations. In Atlanta she and her husband renovated a house and raised a daughter, as shebuilt a consulting business and dreamed of being a writer. Now in Baltimore, she is. About the book: Never Ready is a New York coming of age Precocious Henrietta Drake knows it’s weird if your mother is your best friend. When her mom decamps for a Swiss psychiatric hospital, things really unravel. Henri isn’t thrilled about a senior year with only her architecturally obsessed dad and is shocked when he suggests she drop out and head for the West Village. The only catch is she has to live with a half sister she barely knows and work for a dance company she’s never heard of. As the orbit of design and dance around American Genius Mark Carpenter collides with an epidemic, it reveals the tough, tender secrets of dysfunctional art families. Now Henri must confront their contradictions and fragility, not to mention her own.   Never Ready features an anxious heroine curating her own life. Art helps her hang on, but is she ready for more goodbyes?
