Just a reminder to head on over to Oakland this Saturday for two of our local darlings.
Small Press Traffic is at the heart of where experimentation and community intersect. This season presents multi-disciplinary conversations that investigate vital areas of contemporary poetics and politics. Poets Norma Cole and John Sakkis continue the season with a reading focused on “Translation.”
John Sakkis’s first book, Rude Girl, is just out from BlazeVox Books. With Angelos Sakkis he translates the work of Athenian multimedia artist/poet Demothenes Agrafiotis, their translation of Agrafiotis’s Chinese Notebook is forthcoming from Ugly Duckling Presse as well as Maribor forthcoming from The Post-Apollo Press.
Norma Cole’s books include Collective Memory, Do the Monkey, and Spinoza in Her Youth and Where Shadows Will: Selected Poems 1988—2008, among others. Current translation work includes Danielle Collobert’s Journals, Fouad Gabriel Naffah’s The Spirit God and the Properties of Nitrogen and Crosscut Universe: Writing on Writing from France.
