I will be a co-conspirator in the Collapse Press takeover of the ripe-for-the-pickin’ Lyrics & Dirges reading series in ingenuous old downtown Berkeley. Okay, maybe I’m joshing a bit, but Collapse is curating this month and has foolishly asked me to join in the romp
at
Pegasus Books
2349 Shattuck Ave.
Berkeley, CA
7 pm.
Also participating in the melee will be the aflame Han Raschka (!) in from Wisconsin, the sublime Taneesh Kaur from the West Bay, the marvelous Kim Shuck who marvels and marvels us, co-founder of Collapse Press and banshee-about-town Paul Corman-Roberts from Everywhere at Once, and quite possibly special guests from the inside of your mind!
Hosted by Paul Corman-Roberts (see above)
Free of charge

Breaking news: there will be an online release reading for my new and previously unannounced chapbook, Breaking Crown, as a pop-up publication from Collapse Press. Thank you so much, Collapsers!
on zoom
at
6:30 pm Pacific
The zoom link will be released the week of the reading. Check back here or on my Facebook page. But put it in you calendar now!
Joining the celebration and gracing us with adamant language will be Eike Waltz from Aptos, CA, Rhea Melina from Seattle, WA, and Tammy Melody Gomez from Fort Worth, TX.
I’ll read the text of the chapbook, which is a crown of sonnets addressing resistance in our currently broken culture.
Hosted by Lynn Alexander and Paul Corman-Roberts.
The book will be available for purchase.
YAY.
