Enchanting both the ear and the soul, Handling Destiny (Coffee House Press, $16) is the third collection in Adrian Castro's series on the diasporic triangle of Africa, the Caribbean, and North America. Deeply spiritual, laced with history and myth, and tempered by the region's tumultuous past, these poems “ . . . keep flying forward / Sankófa-like / looking back into history at us.” 7pm Live music: Emmet Cohen Trio, 8pm-12am
