ELECTION DAY POETRY COVERAGE!

David Kirschenbaum's BOOG CITY PRESENTS

note from David:

The night will feature readings from political poets; musical acts performing solo sets; and, for its 20th anniversary, R.E.M.'s Green performed live. (R.E.M. intentionally released Green on Election Day in 1988.) I'll be selecting the poets and Casey Holford, who you might recognize from all the Boog shows he’s taken part in, will be booking the music, and be among those partaking in the performance of Green.

All of this will be up against the backdrop of election returns on the big screen, and I'll MC election updates throughout the night.

Nov. 4, from 7:30 p.m.-1:00 a.m. at Sidewalk Café (94 Ave. A, @ E. 6th St.) in NYC

(Soma)tic Workshops this fall in NYC at St. Mark's Poetry Project!

(Soma)tic Poetry – CAConrad

SaturDAYS AT noon: 10 SESSIONS BEGIN october 11th

In this frantic, routine-driven world we need freedom from regimented poetry writing, and a healthy dose of walking the space between Soma (spirit) and Somatic (body). Using gemstones, trees, and the city itself, we will create deliberate, sustained physical manipulations to generate language to write our poems. Every thing is new every time we embark, and opening our minds to having that freedom in our lives everyday to write poems is what these workshops are about. Poetry is for everyBody, therefore everyBody is welcome! CAConrad's book (Soma)tic Midge (FAUX Press) was written after eating and living with a single color for a day. Poem samples, as well as a link to his monthly (Soma)tic Poetry Exercises can be found HERE.

THERE ARE MANY OTHER WORKSHOPS FOR FALL SEASON. The workshop fee is $350, which includes a one year Sustaining Poetry Project membership and tuition for any and all spring and fall classes. Reservations are required due to limited class space, and payment must be received in advance. Caps on class sizes, if in effect, will be determined by workshop leaders. Please send payment and reservations to:

POETRY READING &

DRAMATIC READING of 2 ten-minute plays:
THE OBITUARY SHOW, written by CAConrad
and
CAPTAIN AMERICA, written by Laura Goldstein

Tim Peterson, or Trace, enjoys electronic interaction as much as the next poet, but WHERE IS ALL THE FUCKING? It's taking place in a hidden room somewhere behind and within language as the vehicle of power, engendering two ships passing, feeling toward the next dumb syllable or limb. For further information, see SINCE I MOVED IN (which received the Gil Ott Award from Chax Press) and EOAGH: A Journal of the Arts.

The son of white trash asphyxiation, CAConrad is the author of Deviant Propulsion (Soft Skull Press) and (Soma)tic Midge (FAUX Press). Forthcoming books include The Book of Frank (Chax Press), and a collaboration with poet Frank Sherlock titled THE CITY REAL & IMAGINED: Philadelphia Poems (Factory School Press). He's at http://CAConrad.blogspot.com

Laura Goldstein recently graduated with an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her performances and installations have been exhibited in Philadelphia, Ireland, Chicago and Michigan. She's been published online in The Little Magazine, Great Works and MPRSND and in print in Combo, Dorothy's Elbow and XConnect. Her new Chapbook, out from Hex Press, is titled "Ice In Intervals".

Sam Presents is a loosely seasonal event curated by Samantha Barrow and Larry Robin. This is the kickoff event, woo hoo!

Samantha Barrow is a nationally celebrated poet, performer, activist and educator. She’s been known to ride her motorcycle around the country, sharing her work in bars, universities, libraries, cafes and sex shops. Her radio appearances have ranged from late night anarchist programs to mainstream prime time. She has received multiple grants from the Leeway Foundation to tour and to facilitate Sound / Body / Love / Poem; gently erotic poetry workshops for survivors of sexual abuse. Because of this work, she was honored to speak alongside Sonia Sanchez and Marjorie Agosin on a panel entitled Betrayed: Violence Against Women. The Feminist Review writes, “Her voice is that of a woman who has the ability to make the intangible become tangible right before our very eyes. Barrow's book maintains the idea of hope despite painful memories, a kind of hope that can vanquish former tribulations and make way for a new, bright future. Truly inspiring.”

She is the author of GRIT and tender membrane (Plan B Press), Jelly (a chapbook, Tiger / Monkey Alliance), and Chap (self published). Her poetry, prose, reviews and interviews have been widely published in places such as Off Our Backs, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Philadelphia City Paper, Lesbian Nation and Feminist Review. She lives in New York City.

Jenn McCreary lives in Philadelphia where she co-edits ixnay press & works for the Mural Arts Program. Her new collection, :ab ovo:, is now available from Dusie Press. Rachel Blau DuPlessis writes about :ab ovo: "from the beginning-an articulate, touching, moving work about the experience of pregnancy and motherhood-from the lyric quiverings to the reality check; from the image-filled meditations to the swamped ATTY-tude; from the fondness for the idea of parenthood to the gritty, witty actuality. Trying to account for all the changes after those two dots, twin dots (that colon, and more) are put into play, the work arcs from magical yearning to an even more magical reality. A book of awe and charm from the inside out." Check out her new poem, "Barack Obama is My New Bicycle" up on
PhillySound: new poetry.

a MA in English and
Poetics from the
