What is everyone reading this weekend?

Why don't you catch up on reads from local authors? In our latest issue, we talk with Iain Ellis about his most recent book, Punk Beyond the Music: Tracing Mutations and Manifestations of the Punk Virus, which makes the case that punk is as much a cultural phenomenon as a musical one.

"It’s a way of seeing life, culture and art that has been going on for hundreds of years," Ellis says. "This was a manifestation of it that started in 1976, but it didn’t just explode out of nothing."

Our resident travel writer shares highights from her trip to Memphis, Tennessee.

"The city sits on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River, its downtown edging up to the river. It's a Southern city—a hub from the days when cotton was currency. But now its currency is music, food, art, sports ... everything that makes this vibrant city worth a visit."

This year, the Lawrence Civic Choir celebrates 50 years of song and community.

“I think the LCC is the best-kept secret in Lawrence,” says Steve Eubank, artistic director of the LCC. “The people in the choir deserve to be heard. They feed my soul and keep me going. We are a community of intimate strangers who blend and meld together. We are high on the synergy of creating something big and full of emotion, joy and love.”

Welcome spring into your home. We talked with local nurseries and plant enthusiasts to find houseplants that stand the test of time—green thumb not required.

“I personally love to recommend a ZZ plant,” says Jess Qian, marketer coordinator with Jungle House plant shop. “They are really tolerant of all sorts of different light, and they really only need water when their pot of soil is completely dry."

What are you reading this weekend? We suggest you keep it local and cozy up with Natalie Parker's latest book, "The Assassin's Guide to Babysitting." (https://www.nataliecparker.com/)

“I took my favorite Keanu Reeves movies and shuffled them with other story arcs that I also find enjoyable, which is how 'John Wick' meets 'The Baby-Sitters Club' came about,” Parker says. “Putting those two side by side made me laugh."

In our latest issue, we sit down with Cay Thompson to talk about Creating Cay (https://creatingcay.square.site/), their collection of contemporary Native jewelry with bead and metal fusion.

"There are a lot of challenges on the road, especially as an artist. But things that may seem like a setback are actually moments that teach us how to be prepared in the future. Just have faith in yourself and your work because other people can feel it. Just keep going; keep creating." -Cay Thompson, "Ironclad Artist"
