Readings from seven poets who have recently published or are working on books about watching movies as a way to connect with or write into relationships with others. These works are Ed Steck's A Place Beyond Shame, Marie Buck and Matthew Walker's Spoilers, Courtney Bush's A Movie, Laura Paul's Film Elegy and a forthcoming work from John Yau about every movie he watched or talked about with John Ashbery.
A reading/performance of recently published, forthcoming and/or in-progress work from poets who’ve lived in and love deeply New Orleans but have moved, for better or for worse, to differently-hued pastures. For us, N'Awlins is a central place from which our imaginations spring. We carry the New Orleans flag deep within wherever we are and always look forward to returning. Come see what magic we've been making--and be part of the fun we'll have together!
