With in-depth reporting and remarkable remembered scenes, Chiasson tracks a faint political signal that traveled from the Vermont communes, hardluck neighborhoods, traditional businesses, and county fairs to the town meetings and ballot boxes of his home state, and finally to Washington, D.C., to transform our national political landscape.Sanders, insisting on a socialist platform that hasn’t changed to this day, defied a corrupt Democratic machine to find his coalition among Burlington’s often feuding communities: the conservative French-Canadian Catholics whose grandparents and great-grandparents—including Chiasson’s own—had worked in the mills; the puppeteers, hippies, and NYC transplants who’d moved to Vermont to find land and authenticity; the anti-nukers, activist nuns, baseball fans, developers, cops, and small businessmen like Ben and Jerry, who became Ben & Jerry’s right there in town. Bernie captivated them all, running on the slogan “Burlington Is Not for Sale” to become the modern era’s first socialist mayor, one who got the streets plowed but also boasted a foreign policy and a bullhorn to speak directly to Ronald Reagan.In the tradition of J. Anthony Lukas’s Common Ground, this people’s epic shows us an American city transformed one diner coffee and one neighborhood door-knock at a time, even as the analog era wanes and a new digital politics appears on the horizon. Full of Sanders himself, reflecting and raging, hitting his themes, Bernie for Burlington is a mesmerizing portrait of a politician, a place, and a movement that would change America.ABOUT THE AUTHORDAN CHIASSON is the author of five books of poetry, including Bicentennial (2014) and The Math Campers (2020), and a book of literary criticism. A longtime contributor to The New Yorker and The New York Review of Books, Chiasson is the Lorraine Chao Wang Professor of English and chair of the English Department at Wellesley College. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/denver/dan-chiasson-live-at-tattered-cover-colfax/100001984044119370 - **Event Categories**: Art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 7.25, max: 42.82, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Denver - **state**: CO - **country**: United States - **location**: Tattered Cover Colfax - **lat**: 39.7397941 - **long**: -104.9566365 - **full address**: Tattered Cover Colfax, 2526 East Colfax Avenue, Denver, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Dan Chiasson Live at Tattered Cover Colfax - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/db494315fcf31ecb639fd02da88cce916cd6e873dc6e9236a2c152dd89201bd7-rimg-w1080-h540-dc2e4b2c-gmir.jpg?v=1772200133 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Dan Chiasson Live at Tattered Cover Colfax being held? - **A:** Dan Chiasson Live at Tattered Cover Colfax takes place on Thu, 23 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Thu, 23 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Tattered Cover Colfax, 2526 East Colfax Avenue, Denver, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Dan Chiasson Live at Tattered Cover Colfax? - **A:** Ticket prices for Dan Chiasson Live at Tattered Cover Colfax range from USD 7 to USD 43 depending on the ticket type.
