This Friday, January 27th, at 7:30 is the next installment of the Metro Rhythm poetry series at Blue Angel wines in Williamsburg. This month’s set will feature MARK STRAND (!), John James, Lizzie Harris, JC Longbottom, and the lovely Hilary Dobel. The series is curated by Jay Deshpande.
The latest issue features a piece by Jeannie Vanasco on text reappropriation, which I’ve found pretty fascinating ever since being introduced to Kenneth Goldsmith’s conceptual art (even though I’m still kind of steamed that he considers himself a writer in the traditional sense, which is neither here nor there re: this post). I recommend picking up a print copy, so that you might also indulge in the always-delightful Sedaratives and Daniel Handler’s contribution.
Ben Marcus’s newest release awaits the day (likely at the end of this jam-packed semester, sometime in May, probably a Wednesday) where I’ll be in a position to crack its beautiful cover. Until then, Flame Alphabet!
