Literary events in Boulder for the weekend of March 2-3

From the Tattered Cover Film Series event page: "When Stranger Than Paradise came out in 1984, it was the epitome of young, hip independent filmmaking, and it still is. The picture is full of long, canny silences and blank looks, minimalist drama and dialogue, and sometimes funny, sometimes mind-boggling events and coincidences." Consider it yourself from the perspective of 2013 Sunday night at the SIE FilmCenter.Come enjoy a small taste of the Andean experience at Innisfree Poetry Bookstore & Cafe on the Hill tonight. "From the Rockies to the Andes" will include a silent auction of framed student photographs, Conscious Bolivian Coffee, Momentum fair trade crafts, Patagonia gear and more. All funds benefit the Unidad Academica Campesina.From the University of Arizona Press book sales page: "Natural Takeover of Small Things is a collection of poetry that offers an unflinching view of "California's Heartland," the San Joaquin Valley. In his distinctive, lyrical, pull-no-punches style, Tim Z. Hernandez offers a glimpse of the people, the landscape, the rhythm, and the detritus of the rural West. As Hernandez peels back the façade of the place, he reveals that home is not always where the heart is."View the list »
