Hi all,
I’m doing a few last readings before I move away to start my MFA and head out to the Prague Summer Writers Program. I’d love to see everyone before I take off, so come out to one or more of these!
This weekend, I’m reading on both Friday and Saturday, and here’s the info:
Friday, March 27th, 8 p.m. at Stories Bookstore in Echo Park, 1716 Sunset Blvd. I’ll be reading with Karen Harryman, a Black Goat Press poet, and here’s her deal:
Karen Harryman’s poems have appeared in Alaska Quarterly, Los Angeles Review, Poetry New Zealand, and the Cortland Review, as well as other print and online journals. Before moving to Los Angeles, she lived and worked in Kentucky for most of her life. Currently, she teaches English and creative writing at YULA, an Orthodox Jewish high school in Los Angeles. Auto Mechanic’s Daughter is her first book.
It will be a great reading–she’s really talented, and Stories, if you haven’t been yet, is a beautiful little bookstore that could use our support.
Saturday, March 28th, 8 p.m. (I go on at 9, though) Will Wright Reads at the Echo Park Film Center, 1200 N Alvarado St. (@ Sunset). There’s a good possibility I might read prose (gasp)! All of the other readers are good news, too.
And…finally…
Friday, April 3rd, 7:30 p.m., Skylight Books with Cati Porter, 1818 N Vermont Ave. It’s Skylight, and they’re awesome. Come. Here’s Cati’s deal:
Cati Porter is founder and editor-in-chief of Poemeleon: A Journal of Poetry and associate editor (poetry) for Babel Fruit. She is the author of two poetry collections, a chapbook of prose poems, small fruit songs (Pudding House Publications, 2008), and Seven Floors Up (Mayapple Press, 2008). Her poems have been anthologized in Bedside Guide to No Tell Motel – Second Floor (No Tell Books), Letters to the World: Poems from the Women’s Poetry Listserv (Red Hen Press), and White Ink: Poems on Mothers and Motherhood (Demeter Press/York University, Canada), and appear widely online and in print.
.
Phew. OK. See you soon.
