This Friday night I'll be reading with Cincinnati poets Kristi Maxwell and Michael Rerick at Pete's Candy Store in Williamsburg. Starts at 7. Here's a map that shows you right where it is. (Take the G to Metropolitan or the L to Lorimer.)
I got to see some of Kristi's book, Realm Sixty-Four (coming out soon from Ahsahta), when Janet was working on the proofs in the back of the car while we were traveling in the west. Wow. I'm looking forward to starting from the start. I think I might even learn to play chess so I can appreciate it fully. (To which Max says, "You'll be learning chess... Yeah, probably right after you've mastered German...")

Rabbit Light Movies, #2. These short movies are so cool. Episode 2 features poems by Sawako Nakayasu, Andrea Rexilius, and me (thanks to Andrew Kenower, who recorded Janet's & my Pegasus reading in March--right, the one that made some people lose their will to live, so you know it's gotta be powerful). Andrea Rexilius actually appears in her movie--it might be my favorite of the three. I especially like the part where she is rifling thru the 78s. (If I manage to complete my summer fall project, will everyone say I've made a JMW ripoff? or do I flatter myself?) Rabbit Light movies are limited editions of 99. Amazingly, they're free. Email rabbitlightmovies@gmail.com with your name & address if you want one. There are a few copies of Episode #1 left, too! (Julie Doxsee: The Knife-Grasses, Noah Eli Gordon: 5 poems, Joshua Marie Wilkinson: Wolf Dust.)
And Andrew Kenower's new MP3 blog has recordings of recent readings at Pegasus and other places in the Bay Area. Dodie Bellamy, Linh Dinh, Will Alexander, Juliana Spahr...
