Toni Mirosevich at Books Inc. in the Castro April 10, 2008

Author and Poet Toni Mirosevich, will be reading selections from her new book, Pink Harvest; Tales of Happenstance. She will be reading with local emerging poets Mary DeNardo and Page McBee.

Toni Mirosevich's first collection of nonfiction explores life's shifting, tilting moments. A chance meeting with a homeless stranger, the feel of a nickel in the palm of her hand, a conversation about politics while watching a game show -- all are seemingly unremarkable events, but each has the possibility of opening for us a new view, an insight, and the experience of wonder. Through happenstance -- the chance or accidental happening -- we see in unrelated, unexpected events profound connections that form a net of meaning.

Books Inc. is a locally owned and operated independent bookseller with 10 locations in California. Books Inc.’s origin dates back to the Gold Rush Days of 1851 when Anton Roman struck it rich in Shasta City, California and set himself up in business selling books. That small bookstore was moved, bought, sold, burned, rebuilt, renamed and became Books Inc., as we know it today, in 1946.

Today, with 10 Stores and 200 employees, Books Inc. serves as a shining example that independent bookselling can survive and prosper, even if we must dance among the elephants.
