Aaron Carroll: Don’t Swallow Your Gum!
Myths, Half Truths, and Outright Lies About Your Body and Health

Did you know?
• Your hair and nails don’t continue to grow when you die
• Sugar does not make kids hyper
• You don’t have to wait an hour after you eat before swimming
• If you shave your hair it will not grow back faster and thicker

With a perfect blend of authoritative research and accessibility,
Don’t Swallow Your Gum is an enlightening and practical book that will disprove some of the most common misconceptions about our health and well-being. Dr. Carroll has been on national television and radio speaking about his new book and now brings his wisdom to the JCC.

Two Voices
Bonnie Maurer and Rusty Moe: A Conversation, With Poetry

Join us as two highly-respected poets share their work and discuss the creation of richly textured poetry.

Bonnie Maurer is the author of many books, the newest of which is
Reconfigured. In 2000, she was awarded a Creative Renewal Arts Fellowship by the Arts Council of Indianapolis. Maurer works as a poet for Young Audiences of Indiana, as a copy editor for the Indianapolis Business Journal and as an Ai Chi (aquatic flowing energy) instructor at the JCC.

Rusty C. Moe is the author of three books of poetry, the most recent being
Way-Marks: New Poems. His memoir, Bright Wild Stone, will be published in 2010. He is an instructor with the Indianapolis Gestalt Institute and the Creative Spirit Center and a retreat director with the Thomas Merton Institute for Contemplative Living.

The poets’ books will be available for purchase at the presentation, with an opportunity to have your book signed by the authors.

"Something for everyone—literally"
 
November 421, 2009

The 2009 Ann Katz Festival of Books was a huge success! Hundreds of people enjoyed great art by Lois Main Templeton, fantastic authors like Martin Fletcher, L. Jon Werthiem and Jeffrey Zaslow, and were captivated by two feature films. We as we look forward to next year's festival, don't miss other great literary events coming this spring at the JCC (listed above).
