Unlikely Stories: A Reading through Strange Times

Since 1998, the online journal Unlikely Stories has been publishing the political, the transgressive, and the stylistically bizarre. This reading celebrates that journal by bringing together four diverse voices, united in their commitment to expanding and redefining the impact of poetry on an audience. We’ll move through traditional forms and historic subjects to contemporary terrors and innovative poetic structures, running wild and hitting hard. Unlikely Stories editor Jonathan Penton will MC, presenting Tobey Hiller (SF Bay Area), Aileen Bassis (NYC), Xander Bilyk (Minneapolis), and Wendy Taylor Carlisle (Arkansas).
