A bookstore is more than a retail space, and on this episode of Open Stacks we welcome back old friends and longtime members of the Co-op for a celebration of community committed to a sense of time and conversation spoken across the ages. Poet David Ferry goes in search of a communal voice in his landmark translation of Virgil's\u00a0The Aeneid<\/em>; peace activist and Indologist David Shulman walks us through the West Bank in Palestine, retracing the \"ambiguous grounds for action,\" freedom, and despair in territories that can't seem to coexist; and Hyde Park's own Michelle Obama returns to the Co-op to kickoff her tour for\u00a0Becoming<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
