87. Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban- J.K. Rowling
Scholastic Press

This is the third one, man these books are boring. My assistant at work really loves them though. She told me they play Quidditch in real life, that a human runs around as the Golden Snitch, I don't know man, seems pretty dorkasaurasrex.

my blurb for Laura's The Fugitive Notebook, just out from Couch Press

"Laura Moriarty has written a noir poem, a serial serial. The Fugitive Notebook is a poem of searching and seeing, of slippages and identity, it’s about the roles we play, and the disguises we wear, “the present invades// the past/ falls.” Like a detective working her way through the facts, Moriarty weaves a lyric narration at once deeply personal and teasingly elusive; but the clues are hiding in plain sight if you know where to look, revealing themselves discreetly as the reader proceeds through this hard boiled poem."

Terry Riley
Friday, December 5; 7:30 p.m.

Five years ago, Terry Riley played at our very first L@TE
event, and we are elated to have him return to close out the
series. Pioneer of the minimalist aesthetic, seminal influence on
the Velvet Underground and Sonic Youth, devotee of Hindustani
classical music as well as jazz, Riley remains one of the most
dynamic compositional voices of the twentieth and twenty-first
centuries. Don’t miss your last chance to hear his sublime music
reverberate through our vast architecture. For this concert, Terry
Riley is joined by his son, guitarist and composer Gyan Riley.
Programmed by Sarah Cahill.

Galleries will remain open until 10:30 p.m. for this special
event. A limited number of chairs will be available; please bring a
pillow to make yourself comfortable on the gallery floor, or listen
from the upper gallery balconies during the performance.
