Reeves & Krosinsky to Feature at the Harwood!

Reeves & Krosinsky to Feature at the Harwood!

Robert Arthur Reeves and Sari Krosinsky read at the Harwood Art Center in the upstairs cafeteria on Wednesday, May 16, 7-8:30 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.) Books, chapbooks and CDs will be available for purchase, $7-10. Here’s a Google map to the venue. There will also be 30 minutes of open mic.

Krosinsky will read from her forthcoming book “god-chaser” and new material from the CD “Complications.” Reeves will read unpublished poems and selections from his latest books, “Because” and “The Dead Have Children.”

Reeves was born in Urbana, Illinois and grew up (so to speak) in the Boston area. As a baby he sat on Carl Sandburg’s lap. Allen Ginsberg recommended his teenage poetry to Gregory Corso. He lives in Albuquerque, N.M., where he has taught philosophy, religion and humanities at the University of New Mexico and Central New Mexico Community College. His poems have appeared in Fulcrum, Skidrow Penthouse, The Blind Man’s Rainbow, Arsenic Lobster, The Homestead Review, Adobe Walls and many other journals. He has published 11 poetry collections and a chapbook, “Yossele: A Tale in Poems,” with his partner Sari Krosinsky. Visit them at outerchildpoetry.com.

Krosinsky writes about the mundane in mythology and the sublime (and sublimely awful) in the ordinary. Her first full-length book, “god-chaser,” is forthcoming from CW Books. She publishes Fickle Muses, an online journal of mythic poetry and fiction. Her poems appear regularly in literary and genre magazines. She received a B.A. in religious studies and M.A. in creative writing from the University of New Mexico. She lives in Albuquerque, N.M., with her partner and cat.

Cathy Arellano Features at East of Edith on Monday, Oct. 24th!

This coming Monday, October 24th, at 7:00 pm, at the Projects 3614 High Street NE is, once again, our open mic night known as  East of Edith. This week you’ll get a chance to hear Cathy Arellano share her poetry!

A little reminder for ya, about East of Edith: each person on the open mic is invited to share two poems, four minute limit (the poets can opt to either read their own work or works by other poets).  The East of Edith Open Mic night has been gathering speed and momentum and I am overjoyed to say that it’s just amazing, how this reading has been progressing along. Please come early to get coffee and snacks, read, listen, catch an outstanding feature…  and all for whatever you can put into the hat. Which is to say,  pay what you can if you can. Come, enjoy the poetry. There’s good poetry happening at East of Edith.

Here’s a little bit about Cathy, from Cathy herself:

Poems and stories about home—my family in San Francisco’s Mission district —fill my upcoming chapbook, Salvation on 24^th Street, that will be published by University of Notre Dame’s Momotombo Press in the next month; my first chapbook (I Love My Women, Sometimes They Love Me) is full of broken-hearted lesbian love poems. I have work published in many different grassroots anthologies, journals, and newsletters.

I teach Developmental English full-time at Central New Mexico Community College, and this semester I’m teaching a creative writing course in Chicano Hispano Mexicano Studies at the University of New Mexico. In the spring, I’ll be leading creative workshops at El Chante Casa de Cultura, National Hispanic Cultural Center, and UNM.

I’m excited that Lisa Gill asked me to join East of Edith’s planning committee, and I thank Burque’s vibrant writing community for helping me to revive my writing.

The East of Edith Poetry Open Mic takes place every Monday night at the Projects, 3614 High Street NE. Sign-up to read between 6:30 and 6:50 pm.

Hope to see you all on Monday night!
