Ernest & Hadley Booksellers

Join Ernest &amp; Hadley Booksellers as we welcome Susan Gregg Gilmore to the events stage to launch the paperback edition of her award-winning novel, <a href="https://ernestandhadleybooks.com/book/9781958888940" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The Curious Calling of Leonard Bush</a>, Tuesday, September 8 at 5:30 PM!
WINNER of the Willie Morris Award for Southern Fiction, young Leonard Bush buries his lost leg and saves his whole East Tennessee town in this winsome and miracle-making novel.
When twelve-year-old Leonard Bush loses his leg in a freak accident, he decides to give his leg a proper burial in the hilltop cemetery of his East Tennessee town. This event somehow sets off a chain of miraculous and catastrophic events—upending the lives of Leonard’s rigidly God-fearing mother, June; his deeply conflicted father, Emmett; and his best friend, Azalea, and her mother, Rose, who is also the town prostitute. While the local Baptist minister passes judgment on events and promises dire consequences, the people of this small community on the banks of Big Sugar move together toward awakening.
Susan Gilmore’s love of storytelling flows naturally from her Tennessee roots. She’s the daughter of a revival preacher’s son, brought up on the land and streams that populate this novel that is, as Appalachian novelist Lee Smith says, a “homespun Pilgrim’s Progress.”

Join Ernest &amp; Hadley Booksellers as we welcome Pearl Kan to our stage to share her debut poetry collection, <a href="https://ernestandhadleybooks.com/book/9781956921809" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">My Uppalavanna</a>, Friday, September 11 at 5:30 PM. Pre-order your copy today!
My Uppalavanna takes its title from the legendary Buddhist nun who was enlightened by staring into lamplight as she swept in the evening—and Pearl Kan’s debut collection follows that luminous, domestic gesture into the fullness of contemporary life. Navigating the paradox between spiritual emptiness and the irreducible particulars of the world—lost teeth and dynamited buddhas, pelicans low against the cold sea, a child’s sunrise lifted on butter and milk—these spare, precise poems move between Zen practice, motherhood, and the mystery of everyday perception with utter clarity. Both incantatory and quietly vernacular, My Uppalavanna is an astonishing first collection.
"The vision of a poet-priest, My Uppalavanna dwells in a paradox: how to reconcile the fullness of life with the emptiness enshrined by spiritual doctrines, when we know both to be unbearably true. The poems gathered here are songs of living and child-rearing, populated by lost teeth and dynamited buddhas, the cycles of seasons and the unrepeatable particulars of home. Pearl Kan has given us an astonishing first collection: incantatory, affectionate, and wise."&nbsp;
—Anna Della Subin, author of Accidental Gods: On Men Unwittingly Turned Divine
PEARL KAN studied comparative literature at the University of Chicago. She is trained as an attorney and practiced for over ten years in environmental and public law.&nbsp;Pearl’s poems have been published in&nbsp;the New York Review of Books,&nbsp;Posit Journal, and Harvard Divinity Bulletin.&nbsp;Pearl was ordained as a Zen Buddhist priest by Norman Fischer in June 2026 and practices with the Everyday Zen Foundation. She lives in Santa Cruz, California with her family.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dive into Alabama's prehistoric past! Join the Alabama Museum of Natural History for our annual "Alabama Fossil Fest" on Saturday, September 12, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Smith Hall on The University of Alabama campus. This year, the spotlight is on fossil sharks and other marine life.&nbsp;
Discover the incredible diversity of Alabama’s past through displays and activities featuring fossils from across the state and beyond. Highlights will include a special talk and a new exhibit on fossil shark teeth found in Alabama, professional and amateur paleontologists displaying and answering questions about fossils, hands-on activities for all ages, and chances to win door prizes and take home your own fossil shark tooth. Plus, admission and parking are free!
Event Schedule
1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. Tabling Event (Grand Gallery) This is a popular annual tabling event at the Alabama Museum of Natural History. As fossil sharks are the theme of this event, more shark fossil material than usual will be on display on presenters’ tables. There will also be tables with various educational fossil-themed activities for all ages.
Door Prize Giveaways Twice during the event, ALMNH will be announcing winners, and giving away fossil-themed door prizes. Please note guests will receive a numbered ticket on arrival and will need to be present with their winning ticket at the event to receive their prizes.
2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. Presentation (Smith Hall Room 205 next to the Grand Gallery).&nbsp; This year’s public presentation by Mr. Chase Egli is entitled “BITE CLUB: Identifying Fossil Shark Teeth Like A Pro” and will be followed by a short question-and-answer session. Chase Egli is a geologist and paleontologist with an M.S. in Geology from The University of Alabama. His research focuses on fossil sharks and other chondrichthyan fishes, with interests in their teeth, taxonomy, and evolutionary history. He has conducted research on Paleozoic and Mesozoic shark faunas of the southeastern United States and is a Research Associate with The University of Alabama Museums Research and Collections, and the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science. Chase also has several years of experience teaching introductory geology and enjoys helping others learn how to recognize and identify fossil shark teeth.
Parking Parking on The University of Alabama campus on Saturday is free. Parking spots are available on the east side of Smith Hall (entrance only via Hackberry Lane), next to the Math and Science Education Building and next to Lloyd Hall.
