Unnameable Books

GREETINGS READING 7pm 5/19/22

Dear Fellow Devotees of the Muse:


Let us gather in the midst of May's slightly thawing spring as the month approaches mid-stride to once more hear the permutations of the word this Thursday, May 19th, 2022 at 7:oopm.

Unnameable has a slightly new location (615 Vanderbilt Ave , near the corner of St. Marks) and a new backyard. We'll join with the bushes, fencing, lights & concrete to continue making a go of our new home-space, in this new spring with these 2terrific poets & the opening music of The Downtown Gurls:


Emily Simon: Quite truthfully, tends to gravitate to Sunken Meadow island, officially no longer it’s own island, but retaining a strong residue of the past, an island that goes to parties whenever it is asked, an island that no longer has a back or a front, but like a poem stands up when read, if only for a moment, learning in a sense by being spoken, the words articulated into persona for you dear to assimilate on your town terms


Tilghman Goldsborough: knows each of us at certain points in our lives is not much more than throbbing gristle. In the genesis of porridge a mass of meat quivers, a sponge of absorbed water emitting electrical impulses, trails crumbs the muse picks up on. T.G.’s verse signals to us across the bird bedazzled backyard. Orange-yellow lights twinkle in a constellated burst residing just across the tracks of Atlantic, Fulton into the beating heart of Bedstuy .


The Downtown Gurls: drop a load of musical love on your lap as they hitch our wagon to electro acoustic impulses throbbing into the intros of secret clouds


This event is free. The meet n greet begins at 7:00 as the house band will be playing. We plan to commence the series at 7:30 o'clock sharp with a quick hello, followed by the introduction to the 1st poet/ performer.


There is limited seating in the new backyard (about 25 seats). There is no basement reading space - so if the weather turns to rain we will have to huddle inside - or cancel - more on that if it becomes a necessity; however the cast of the fore bodes well for nigh 50's to mid 60's so dress appropriately. As always we look forward to seeing old & new faces.


Listen for the bang of the drum.


X's to your O's,

Jeffrey Joe
