January Cheryl’s Gone: Mike Scalise, Gerald Maa, Chris Nealon & Fall Catalogue

THURSDAY the 21 st, 8 PM

Big Bear Cafe

1st & R NW

Okay. So Wade and I are behind. Due to stuff. So we’re still putting press materials together. So here are some bios I made up:

Mike Scalise drives a dump truck and has muscles for teeth. He writes nonfiction and will read nonfiction.

Chris Nealon invented the maser. Not the laser. Look it up. Poems?

Gerald Maa has the tallest hair in the University of Maryland English Department. He writes and translates poems and makes a mean egg sandwich.

Fall Catalogue is music by squirrels.

Now how can you not come?

Boog City & DC Intercourse

I’m not sure what a “Boog City” is because I’m lame, but I’m in The Portable Boog Reader 4 w/some heroes. 

I represent as a “DC Poet” on the same page as Buck Downs, Lynne Dreyer, and Wade. Oh proximity.

Print at link above or go to Bridge Street Books at the end of the month to pick up a copy (and support BSB).

Also, let’s both read up on this branch of the Poetry Project at St. Mark’s. Our knowledge is, apparently, incomplete.

New Output

Thanks to HTML Giant for featuring stuff from my new desperate for a title project. I wrote most of it in bed. Suggestions welcome.

Check out Danika’s poem, which I adore,  here.

She kicked off Sunday Service. Giant will be featuring a poem every Sunday. Good reason to go. Particularly since readers aren’t afraid to say what they think of the poem. See comments on Danika’s.  Whatever discussion this poem creates will probably be more useful than the poem. I hope the poem is useless.
