DESCRIPTION:Join us Wednesday, February 5th for our next Cactus Book Club. This month Kinship Community Food Center will be leading the conversation on The Might Red: a Novel by Louise Erdrich. It’s a “novel of tender humor, disturbance, and hallucinatory mourning. It is about on-the-job pains and immeasurable satisfactions, a turbulent landscape, and eating the native weeds growing in your backyard. It is about ordinary people who dream, grow up, fall in love, struggle, endure tragedy, carry bitter secrets; men and women both complicated and contradictory, flawed and decent, lonely and hopeful. It is about a starkly beautiful prairie community whose members must cope with devastating consequences as powerful forces upend them. As with all of Louise Erdrich's books, The Mighty Red is about our tattered bond with the earth, and about love in all of its absurdity and splendor.” Recommended bookseller: Woodland Pattern Kinship Community Food Center “engages volunteers and neighborhood residents to end hunger, isolation, and poverty. Our innovative programs nourish food security and wellness, foster belonging and community engagement, and empower stability and economic prosperity in our city”. Find out how to access their pantry services or ways to volunteer at kinshipmke.org Cactus Book Club (CBC) meets on the first Wednesday of the month from 5:30-7:30 in the back room at Cactus Club. Each month a different community organization, collective, mutual aid group, or business chooses the book & recommended bookseller then leads the discussion. We read sociopolitical fiction and non-fiction, with a focus on works by women, LGBTQ+, POC, and/or otherwise under-published groups. You don’t have to finish reading the book to attend. All book club meetings are free. No registration required. 18+. CBC is part of our ongoing Cactus+ programming. Contact kelly@cactusplus.org with questions or suggestions
