"Polishing the Bones" a presentation by Penelope Tarasuk - POSTPONED
2017-12-11 18:30 - 20:00
“Polishing the Bones” is an intimate portrayal of a woman’s unfolding inner journey through her Jungian analysis, her dreams, and her terminal illness as she is guided deeper into the mysteries of life and the extraordinary transformation of her death.
The true story of an unusually creative woman, Laura, following her life’s transformation and individuation, with all its longing, pain, transcendent beauty, love, and life’s completion. After the conclusion of her Jungian analysis, Laura becomes terminally ill and is supported by a few intimates including her former analyst, who comes to live with the family to help her die. The intimacy and depth of relationship between the two women, and the foundation of guiding dreams that developed in the analysis, forms a container for an unfolding spiritual journey with numinous experience and sacred visions. We witness the tender care of Laura through and after her death as well as the experience of the author, who undergoes her own transformation through an awe-inspiring initiation into the realm of death itself.(from the publisher)
A Deerfield resident, Penelope Tarasuk is a Jungian analyst in private practice in Massachusetts working with individuals, couples, and families. She is a senior training analyst and faculty member of the New England Society of Jungian Analysts and the C. G. Jung Institute of Boston.

Mystery Book Discussion - Bluebird Bluebird by Attica Locke POSTPONED to February 1.
2018-01-04 18:30 - 19:30
When it comes to law and order, East Texas plays by its own rules–a fact that Darren Mathews, a black Texas Ranger, knows all too well. Deeply ambivalent about growing up black in the lone star state, he was the first in his family to get as far away from Texas as he could. Until duty called him home. When his allegiance to his roots puts his job in jeopardy, he travels up Highway 59 to the small town of Lark, where two murders–a black lawyer from Chicago and a local white woman–have stirred up a hornet’s nest of resentment. Darren must solve the crimes–and save himself in the process–before Lark’s long-simmering racial fault lines erupt. A rural noir suffused with the unique music, color, and nuance of East Texas, Bluebird, Bluebird is an exhilarating, timely novel about the collision of race and justice in America.
Join us on the first Thursday of the month for a lively discussion of this month’s title and other of life’s mysteries. Copies of Bluebird Bluebird are usually available at the circulation desk or can be reserved online or by asking at the desk. This discussion also features pizza while it lasts.
