I am giving some readings with various groups over the Summer:

Global City Review, founded by that mother of all that is kick-butt, Linsey Abrams, published a short, humorous poem of mine, and they have included me in their “It’s All Relative” Launch reading at the Bowery Poetry Club, a totally awesome place to pose as a deep thinker. Here are the details:

June 5, 6:00 -7:30 pm, Bowery Poetry Club, Between Houston and Bleeker

Because I am in Women Studies Quarterly’s (WSQ) Witness Issue — I wrote a poem about women not being believed by authorities — I am reading with them at the venerable radical bookstore Bluestockings:

June 10, 7 pm , Bluestockings, 172 Allen Street, Between Stanton and Rivington

Then, because Brooklyn is the new little black dress, I am giving another Global City Review reading at The Perch Cafe:

Finally, but totally the most important event of my Summer reading extravaganza, I was honored to be included with such luminaries as Adrienne Rich and Amiri Baraka in a British anthology of the most happening American poets — Seeds of Fire (2008, Smokestack Books) — and they have invited me to stand next to said luminaries and read at the Bowery Poetry Club in August:

August 7, 6:00 pm, Bowery Poetry Club,308 Bowery St, Between Houston and Bleeker

If you’re reading this, then come — I promise to agree with a prayer if anyone mentions this blog to me at each of these events. Who knows? You and I might become co-conspirators against the forces of darkness!
