How does a poet taste the world—and how does a food writer find poetry on the plate?

Join us for an illuminating evening with Aimee Nezhukumatathil, New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author of World of Wonders, as she celebrates two extraordinary new releases: her fifth poetry collection, Night Owl, and the paperback edition of her beloved essay collection, Bite by Bite.

Across her body of work, Aimee explores the delicious interplay between poetry and food writing—how language, like flavor, can awaken memory, joy, and connection. In Bite by Bite, she writes of food as a portal to wonder and identity, from the tang of mangoes to the scent of vanilla. In Night Owl, she turns to the transformative quiet of the evening, where love, nature, and darkness reveal the luminous threads that tie us to one another and to the earth. Together, these works offer a feast for the senses, reminding us that nourishment—both literal and emotional—comes in many forms.

Your ticket includes:
<ul><li>A captivating evening with Aimee Nezhukumatathil</li><li>Light bites and wine inspired by Bite by Bite</li><li>Book signing, connection, and community mingling</li></ul>

Option to pre-purchase a copy of Night Owl at checkout.&nbsp; A limited number of copies of Night Owl&nbsp;and Bite by Bite&nbsp;will also be available for purchase at the event.

This event is presented in partnership with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.litquake.org/" rel="nofollow noopener">Litquake</a>, San Francisco’s legendary literary festival.

Feast for the Senses: Aimee Nezhukumatathil on Poetry and Food

Paul Walde is an interdisciplinary artist living in Victoria, Canada on lək̓ʷəŋən territory where he is a Professor of Visual Arts at the University of Victoria. For the past 30 years, his work has been engaged with addressing environmental issues including: exploring non-human activity and communication, global warming, deforestation, land use, endangered species, and the artworld. Originally trained as a painter, Walde’s music and sound compositions have been a prominent feature in his artwork for over 25 years. He is best known for his interdisciplinary performance works staged in the natural environment, and documentation of these events is frequently used as the basis of Walde’s sound and video installations which have been the subject of exhibitions nationally and internationally.
In this talk, he will discuss his recent works about the primary forests of Vancouver Island and the challenges they face. In 2025, Walde presented&nbsp;Forestorium,&nbsp;a full-length opera featuring 8 soloists, orchestra and chorus, in an old growth forest on Ma’amtagila territory on Northern Vancouver Island.&nbsp;Treescape Revolution No.1,&nbsp; a true-to-scale photographic image of one revolution around an entire 36-foot circumference of an old-growth cedar tree,&nbsp;attempts to describe the scale and the complexity of these organisms and the systems they belong to and suggests that a tree is not just a tree but an ecosystem within an ecosystem.
This event is free, but registration is required to receive the Zoom link: https://41780.blackbaudhosting.com/41780/EARTH-DAY-ZOOM-TALK--Paul-Walde-Treescape-Revolution

Join us for a deliciously unique evening that brings together two of our favorite things—cookies and wine—in celebration of Italian Cookies, the latest book from the&nbsp;authority in Italian cooking, Domenica Marchetti.

In this special event, Domenica will share stories and recipes from her newest cookbook, which captures the heart of Italy’s cookie culture—from rustic almond twists and crumbly cornmeal sbrisolona to spiced red wine biscotti meant for dunking. Together, we’ll explore the history and regional influences behind these classic dolci while enjoying a tasting of cookies made with and for wine.

To complement Domenica’s irresistible creations, we’ll be guided through a unique cookie and wine pairing, exploring Italy’s regional flavors through the perfect pairing of wine and dolci.

Get ready for an indulgent tasting that blends culinary storytelling, tradition, and a touch of la dolce vita!

Your ticket includes:

<ul><li>A guided tasting of Italian cookies and wines</li><li>Conversation with Domenica on the stories and traditions behind Italian Cookies</li><li>Expert insights on Italian wine pairings&nbsp;</li></ul>

Option to pre-purchase copies of Italian Cookies&nbsp;at checkout. A limited number of copies will also be available for purchase at the event.

Are there hidden accessibility barriers on your website?

Accessibility in Practice

Does your website look great but people still drop off before buying, booking, or signing up? Most small business owners don’t realize accessibility might be the reason. Your site might “pass” an automated scan or look fine visually, but still be impossible to use for people navigating by keyboard, screen reader, or other assistive tech. Automated tools don’t test whether someone can actually fill out a form, complete a purchase, book a service, or make a donation. That’s where accessibility issues tend to hide. In fact, WebAIM’s 2025 Million report found that 94.8% of the top 1,000,000 home pages had detectable Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) failures. That’s where I come in. I run hands-on accessibility reviews that go beyond automated tools. I test your site like a real user would and translate the findings into clear, prioritized fixes you can implement or hand to your developer or designer. Ways to work together: 1. Full Website Accessibility Audit (deep review across your site) 2. Homepage-Only Mini Audit (fast check of your most-visited page) 3. PDF Accessibility Conversion (make PDFs usable with screen readers) 4. Alt Text Writing Packages (product photos, homepage images, posts) 5. Email Signature Accessibility Review (fix a common, overlooked barrier) 6. Social Media Accessibility Quick Review (graphics, captions, links, video basics) and more! What you’ll get (always): 1. Plain-language results 2. A prioritized fix list 3. Practical guidance you can use right away Our approach Transparent pricing • Fast turnaround • WCAG-aligned • ADA/Section 508–informed • Bay Area + remote clients If your site is hard to use, it’s hard to grow. Prioritizing accessibility helps more people access your content, services, and opportunities. contact@accessibilityinpractice.com
