Gary Eldon Peter Leads the Friends of the St. Paul Library's Fireside Chat Feb. 6

   Gary Eldon Peter, author, Oranges, participated in the St. Paul Library's Fireside Reading Series on Feb. 6 at Hamline Midway Library in St. Paul.
   The Fireside Reading Series, one of The Friends of the St. Paul Library's oldest and most popular events, annually highlights the work of some of Minnesota’s finest writers, who have published a new work in the previous year. Programs are accompanied by coffee, cider, cookies, and book signings.
   In addition to discussing his story, Peter also talked about what home means to him. Oranges, winner of the 2016 New Rivers Press Many Voices Project competition in prose, is the author's debut short story collection. It traverses the life of Michael, a gay man from the Midwest who must find his own confusing path to adulthood after personal loss. Michael is confronted with a number of challenges, including coming to terms with his sexuality in the age of AIDS, facing his family’s difficulties accepting him, dealing with the death of his mother and the aging of his father, and starting over after losing a partner. Novelistic in scope, Oranges is about the never-ending search for connection, validation, intimacy, and, above all, love.
   The book is getting rave reviews, including this one published in the Jan. 18 edition of the Star Tribune newspaper.
   Congratulations Gary!

Advocate for the Homeless Discusses What Can Be Done to Help "Those People" When it's Bitterly Cold Outside on WCCO Radio Jan. 30

   The coldest weather of the year is upon us in Minnesota, and it is going to cause a major hardship for the people in our community who are homeless. Many of them spend nights in their cars, or in sleeping bags under bridges, but with wind chills dropping to 20 degrees below zero and worse…. staying outside just isn’t safe.
   Richard Bahr, author of Those People: The True Character of the Homeless and co-founder of Threshold to New Life, a 501 (c)(3) dedicated to helping people who are living in the margins, was interviewed on WCCO Radio's "Hey It's Cory Hepola" show on Jan. 30. He and Cory discussed what the average person can do to help the homeless, particularly in times of great need.
   One hundred percent of proceeds from sales of Bahr's book, Those People, are donated to Threshold to New Life. Learn more about the organization at www.threshold2newlife.org.
