Friends and family,

please join us at the benefit for Alan Czarzasty on Sunday, November 11, 4-8pm, at Fergie's Pub (upstairs), 1214 Sansom St., Philadelphia (more info on Fergie's below). As most of you know, Alan has stage-four melanoma. He underwent two brain surgeries and radiation therapy at Jefferson Hospital, and is currently staying at his parents' house in Riverside, NJ.

The benefit features a silent art auction, music by Zee, and a poetry reading by Frank Sherlock, CAConrad and Janine Hayes. We will be auctioning off photography, prints, paintings, massages, voodoo and other kinds of dolls, and baked goods. Cindy Burstein, a local documentary filmmaker, has agreed to videotape the event.

Suggested donation at the door is $10, but you're welcome to give more or less. There are bars upstairs and downstairs, with lots of Belgian beer and pub fare like fish and chips.

Come celebrate Alan's life, his amazing spirit, and his love for New Orleans with his friends and family -- sign a guestbook, bid on art, drink, get in the second line! All proceeds will go to the Czarzasty Fund. If you're interested in donating a piece for the art auction or some baked goods, please let me know -- we'd like more volunteers, especially the baking kind!:)

Hope to see you there, and thank you,

EILEEN MYLES is probably America's best-known unofficial poet. Her latest book is Sorry, Tree in which she describes "some nature" as well as the transmigration of souls from the east coast to the west. Bust Magazine calls Myles "the rock star of modern poetry" and Holland Cotter in The New York Times describes her as "a cult figure to a generation of post-punk females forming their own literary avant garde." Eileen arrived in New York after college, (U. Mass. (Boston)) gaining the friendship of Allen Ginsberg, working for poet James Schuyler, becoming a habitue of the household of Ted Berrigan and Alice Notley and generally being a notable part of the turbulent punk and art scene that animated Manhattan's East Village, giving her first reading at CBGB's in 1974. A virtuoso performer of her work - she's read and performed at colleges, performance spaces, and bookstores across North America as well as in Europe, Iceland, Ireland and Russia. She's published more than 20 volumes of poetry, fiction, articles, plays and libretti including Hell (an opera with composer Michael Webster, 2004) Skies, (2001), on my way, (2001), Cool for You, (a novel, 2000), School of Fish, (1997), Maxfield Parrish, (1995), Not Me, (1991), and Chelsea Girls, (stories, 1994). In 1995, with Liz Kotz, she edited The New Fuck You/adventures in Lesbian Reading (Semiotext(e). In 1992 she conducted an openly female write-in campaign for President of the United States. In the 80s she was Artistic Director of St. Mark's Poetry Project. In '97 and again in 2007 Eileen toured with Sister Spit, a post-punk female performance troupe. She has been a professor of writing at UCSD since 2002. In 2007 she received The Andy Warhol/Creative Capital art writing fellowship. She contributes to a wide number of publication including Bookforum, the Believer, and lately Cabinet, has written catalogue essays about Sadie Benning, Peggy Awesh and Nicole Eisenman and she blogs weekly on art at http://openfordesign.msn.com/

HAL SIROWITZ is the author of four books of poems, Mother Said, My Therapist Said (Crown), Before During and After (Soft Skull Press), and Father Said, also by Soft Skull Press. He is the recipient of a Frederick Delius Award and The Susan Rose Recording Grant for Contemporary Jewish Music. Mother Said will be released on CD with music composed by Alla Borzova, sung by Paul Sperry. John Flansburgh of the rock group, They Might Be Giants, has recorded him for Hello Records, and the group spoke about him during their Mother's Day interview for NPR's Studio 360. Garrison Keillor has read his work on NPR's Writer's Almanac. Sirowitz has performed on MTV's Spoken Word Unplugged, PBS's Poetry Heaven, and NPR's All Things Considered. Awarded a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship and a 2003 New York State Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Poetry, Sirowitz is also the best selling translated poet in Norway, where Mother Said has been adapted for the stage and has been made into animated cartoons. Hal is the former Poet Laureate of Queens, New York. He has a poem in Garrison Keillor's anthology, Good Poems, in Poetry in Motion from Coast to Coast (W.W. Norton), in Poetry After 9/11 (Melville House Publishing) and in 110 Stories: Writers Respond to 9/11 (NYU Press). He worked for 25 years as a special education teacher for the New York City public schools. Hal is married to the writer Mary Minter Krotzer.

CAConrad's childhood included selling cut flowers along the highway for his mother and helping her shoplift. He escaped to Philadelphia the first chance he got where he lives and writes today with the PhillySound poets (http://www.phillysound.blogspot.com/). Soft Skull Press published his book Deviant Propulsion in 2006. The Frank Poems is forthcoming in 2008 from CHAX Press. A selection of The Frank Poems was recently translated into German by Berlin poet Holger, and a bilingual chapbook is now available from Carrie Hunter's YPOLITA Press (http://www.thefrankpoems.blogspot.com/). Jack Kimball's FAUX Press will be publishing a new series of poems (Soma)tic Midge in late 2007.

THROW THE AMISH IN JAIL!

For years people have looked at me cross-eyed when I've used the term Nazi-Amish, but if you Love animals as much as I do you would understand. In rural Pennsylvania the Amish are the most malicious people around when it comes to animal cruelty, and they cloak this cruelty with their religion. NO MORE! The puppy mills must be shut down! And the SPCA must make regular visits to inspect the treatment of field horses, chickens, and other animals in Lancaster, PA.

Go to the site PUPPIES ARE BIODEGRADABLE and go to the art show at FUEL and help STOP this madness disguised as quaint, charming bonnets and shoofly pie!

Included in the show is a book Will Esposito put together of poems of animal cruelty which you can see on display at FUEL. Poets include Ryan Eckes, CAConrad, Will Esposito, and others (sorry I don't have the list, as I want to mention everyone's name). But do go to FUEL in July of 2007!

GROUP READING of Kerouac's ON THE ROAD

THURSDAY, JANUARY 25TH, 2007
4:00 PM - 12:00 AM in the Arts Cafe: Kelly Writers House (3805 Locust Walk, Philadelphia) celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Jack Kerouac's On the Road.

Jack Kerouac's On the Road, a rollicking, stream-of-consciousness novel, burst onto the literary scene in 1957, rocketing Kerouac to fame and inspired a multi-generational obsession with "the road." On the Road, a rapid-fire adventure tale of crossing the country (and back again) solo and with friends, discovering drugs, jazz, and the "bug" of travel, became a benchmark for the Beat Generation.

Kerouac wrote the novel in a three-week marathon burst on 12-reams of paper he taped together and referred to as "the scroll." In celebration of the book, and the spirit of the book, the Writers House will host a marathon reading of our own scroll, featuring local luminary guest readers, accompanied by improvisational jazz musicians, and you! Stop by the house to listen to the novel, enjoy the jazz and jump in on the reading! If you would like to read a section of the scroll, please RSVP to wh@writing.upenn.edu
