So it'll be post Valentine's Day & you'll have probably blown a good deal of money because of it (Valentine's day that is) & you might even be in recovery (for whatever reason(s). I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than to scoot over to Canessa Park, settle into that red brick space, sip some good stuff, eat some good stuff & hear some good poetry & this event will be extra special as we'll also be celebrating the arrival of Denise Newman's Wild Goods fresh from Apogee Press. SO................
Come to 708 Montgomery Street at Columbus on SUNDAY, February 24th at 3PM (& I'll love you even more if you bring a modest $3 donation)
Denise Newman is the
author of Human Forest and the newly released Wild
Goods, both published by Apogee Press. Her translation of the novel Azorno by the Danish poet Inger Christensen will be published by New
Directions in 2009. Currently, she is collaborating with the composer Kui Dong on an opera entitled "Cess," and she teaches in the MFA writing
program at CCA.
Fortuitously or not born in Buffalo, New York, Lauren Shufran moved to San Francisco five years ago to get her MFA at SFState, where she seems still to be a student and finishing her second Master's. When she's not trying to graduate, she's studying Arabic and occasionally riding the 38 Geary "just for kicks." Her most recent chapbook is Burrow, out of Hooke Press.
Some of the journals Joseph Noble’s poetry has appeared in include New American Writing, Five Fingers Review, The New Review of Literature, Hambone, Bird Dog, UrVox, and Aufgabe. His essays on the poet George Oppen have appeared in Talisman and Aufgabe. He was one of the co-editors of the poetry journal 26 for its first five issues. His book of poetry, An Ives Set, was published in November of 2006 by lyric& Press.
