& listeners of many stripes gather in the backyard of Unnameable
Books this Fall! Come for the music, come for the easy talk of sparrows
“in the eaves,” & stay for the poetry & the MUSE. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Lovers

We'll join with the bushes, fencing, lights, concrete and avian luminaries to enjoy 3 terrific poets & the opening music of Downtown Girls with special guest Tetya Motts:<br /><br />Brenda HillmanKnows what to say as she grabs a pen or reaches for a keyboard as the loose sugar pours from her fingers onto the page or the screen creates a space for the letters to assemble & jockey for meaning often hidden in the ashes left by the fire of creation<br /><br />Evelyn Reilly incorporates an anthropocene bent to use the plastic nature of styrofoam to stave off the impending Apocalypse like a mad yo yo on hiatus, walking the dog in the eternity of the spinning omniverse <br /><br /><br />Elinor Nauen- Hails from a state that features not one but five famous figures carved into the granite peaks and does quite bit of her own metaphysical carving in the pomes & prose of her career tossing a mean fastball along with a few curves to catch us in life's levity <br /> <br />Other Arc Enesmble listens to the streams of one another as if multiple rivers conjoin to form a ring around the hands that bind, the keys that find, the cicatrix that keeps us playing, the notes as sutures to heal the wound, salve for the day's ailments, hoozah.<br /><br />This event is free. The meet n greet begins at 8:00 as the band plays with the call & response of the wind & ambient street / sky noise. We plan to commence the series at 8:30 sharp with a quick hello, followed by the introduction to the 1st poet/ performer. <br /><br />Please keep in mind that this Thursday November 17th bodes for a chilly evening with temperatures in the 40's! Dress with long johns, head coverings, gloves & scarves in mind as we see if the bookstore can source some heating lamps for the Muse's return. <br /><br />There is limited seating in the new backyard (about 30 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; As always we look forward to seeing old & new faces. <br /><br />Listen for the bang of the drum or the rattle-shake of the chekere. <br /><br />X's to your O's,<br />Jeffrey Joe<br /><br /></p>adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07894295695034474842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4747477857565567667.post-16525772871911139952022-11-08T08:21:00.002-08:002022-11-13T19:33:04.276-08:00GREETINGS 11/10/22 7:00 PM<br /><br /> <br />Dear No Longer Deer in the Headlights: Please join us as our protean houseband introduces 3 wonderful poets this Thursday, November 10th, at 7:00pm. <br /><br /><br />Once again, Unnameable (615 Vanderbilt Ave , near the corner of St. Marks) Books is our gracious host .

The meet n greet begins at 7:00 as the band plays with the call & response of the wind & ambient street / sky noise. We plan to commence the series at 7:30 sharp with a quick hello, followed by the introduction to the 1st poet/ performer. <br /><br /><br />Please keep in mind that this Thursday November 10th calls for lots of sun (64 during the sunshine) but it will get chillier especially as the day turns to the magic hour and evening's cloak falls over our shoulders.. So don't be afraid of your Autumn Sweaters or come without shirt sleeves, the backyard does not discriminate tho 54 is predicted for the evening!<br /><br /><br />There is limited seating in the new backyard (about 30 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 night lows to mid 50's so dress as you see fit.

The mother is now a mother. The poet is both King & Queen with a crown of words borne into the digisphere, the press, the mouth. A paper-mache pigeon coos as if it were a morning dove. The morning dove & the pigeon both become the muse as we listen. <br /><br /><br />Farnoosh Fahti: Holds the ritual dear. Each of us shall go round in our minds tonight with the words she utters & choose a line we feel is ripe & therein we’ll grow a small garden, imagining just the type of fruit we’ll like, just the kind of vegetable that will turn out to be the hero of our lives, while the villains run off with Monopoly money to dig their ditches with gold-tipped picks. <br />Yuko Otomo - Understands implicitly that things fall where they lie, whether they be downtown NY’s subterranean spirit or the port of Sasebo where art & life mingle like two long companions walking arm in arm down cobblestone street. What does painting give to poetry, what does poetry give to painting? It is no coincidence that both arts have the ability to move us to change our lives. <br /><br /><br /><br />The Ghost Shepherds: guide us through the hills & dales past the wolves of our daily grind as we take a nap in the hay wagon as electro acoustic impulses throb into the intros of collaged grass patches.<br /><br /><br />This event is free.

The couple met in the eighth grade and were together until Hunt took own life in 1993 following a battle with lung cancer. This intimate book, dubbed “a striking act of care” by the Brooklyn Rail, was originally self-published in a small edition in 1995 and distributed to the couple’s friends and family. A trove of information, it includes correspondence with and thrilling anecdotes about Hunt’s peers spanning new music and experimental video hubs across Texas, the US, and Europe. Here, it has been revised and given a new introduction by the artist Karen Finley, a friend of the couple who collaborated with Hunt toward the end of his life (together, they were subjects of a Republican-led “decency” campaign over National Endowment for the Arts funding in the ’80s). Partners is an essential introduction to Jerry Hunt, and one that only Housewright could share. <br /><br />Stephen Housewright was born in Dallas in 1942.

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:<br /><br /><br />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 <br /><br /><br />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 .<br /><br /><br />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<br /><br /><br />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. <br /><br /><br />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. <br /><br /><br />Listen for the bang of the drum.<br /><br /><br />X's to your O's,<br /><br />Jeffrey Joe<br /><br />Jed Shaharadamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07894295695034474842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4747477857565567667.post-78663963624002421672022-05-15T09:59:00.003-07:002022-05-15T09:59:39.568-07:00<h1 style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;"> <span> </span><span> Eugene Ostashevsky and Genya Turovskaya 6pm<br /><br /></span><span></span></h1><p style="text-align: left;">Poetry reading in the backyard<br /><br /><span style="color: #312e2a; font-family: poppins-extralight,poppins,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Genya Turovskaya was born in Kyiv, Ukraine, and grew up in New York City.

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 3terrific poets & the opening music of Other Arc Ensemble:<br /><br />Harris Schiff: The ineluctable Harris Schiff has been dodging fame’s bullet ever since he escaped from the Bronx & headed to the Mesa to find the real meaning of the secret hand band – (was it really the special cotton or was it a sign from thee mysterious stranger?); a hungry tension flowed thru him & out came the poems, the muse like a river flowing over the broken rocks of desert landscape now long island, inland prophet of verse the long & the short with staples or without.<br /><br />Anselm Berrigan: Known by many names An of the Selm keeps the trade winds at his back as he sails the waters ‘tween Manhattan, Brookyn & the nebulous forests of upstate where he may be secretly the scout for a clandestine Yankee’s farm team of poets turned knuckle ballers, switch-&-clutch hitters, ace relief pitchers & utility infielders. Yes, indeed his keen eye has recruited many a po-em for the pages of the railyard’s cultural dissection of much to do about art so have a nice day but be careful where you put that donut.<br /><br />Claire Devoogd: Knows a good scrutinium device when she comes across one. This machine able to parse the restricted anatomy of language is like a mirror enclosing the world much like Claire’s poems which when fit to the eye with an ocular nostrum distort the contingencies of our reality just right, as if our semi-permeable membranes were being exposed to the language of the poet, drinking up the language of the muse as if from a silver cup & so do not worry about the hazards of unspeakability, as Claire is here to unwind the intangible rot from our brains.<br /><br />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. <br /><br />There is limited seating in the new backyard (about 25 seats).

hosting its First remote event of the Fall / Winter 2021 season. And
what better way to kick it off than to hark to the land of the Bengals,
the infamous radio station with the ersatz deejays riding the swayback
Seventies into the ungainly neo-cnservatve-rectionary still getting some
Eighties...that;s right we going to the land of WKRP for a current peak
at the prospering poetry & music scene with 3 writers and a
scientist / musician to help us cast the soundtrack for the evening of <span style="background-color: yellow; color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">Thursday, Dec 2nd at 8:00 PM EST</span> <b><span style="font-size: medium;">( 7:00 CST, 6:00 MST, 5:00 PST, 4:00AST, 3:00 HST) </span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div><span style="color: lime; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: magenta;">Cathy Wagner</span></span> <span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.5;"> </span> -<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">is
among the many poets who know the
city absolutely has sex with everything. The Nervous devices we attach
to
ourselves don’t have to reside permanently. Something about the constant
balm of a place like Miami can take the nervousness right out of you, or
put it
back in, depending on how your new job is going. It’s true that Cathy’s
pomes
are not targeted for mother’s only – they are unconditionally open to
any eyes, ears or finger tips. Her pomes are not imitations of others
but like a leaf
to another leaf, each is subtly different, as if God were shopping in an
automat, choosing sandwiches at random from the well lit displays and
then,
shoosh out of the pneumatic slot comes a pome. Um, God mumbles as it
crunches
down upon the pome, “tasty.”</span></div>
<div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: lime; color: red; font-size: x-large;">Mark Mendoza-</span> 's <span style="font-family: Helvetica;">poetry is suggestive of the
great struggle for dignity. The canvas of place is active in his work. He
spreads a score of words across the page like history unfolding in great &
small waves as we wade through the various stories & perspectives that
create the narrative we often see as time but could just as easily be cycle,
cyclic, the return to where we have been, so in his pomes there are leaps to
clear those landings just as Mark has cleared the space left by his
doppelganger, Mark “the Animal” Mendoza who dictated heavy bass thump to Dee’s
Twisted Sister now transferred to the Actual Fuck so that time does warp the
possession of now, chasing the public like a stray pug into the net of the dog
catcher who lights the neon highway with his electric vox.</span></div>

around the corner from the community pool, a neighborhood some will tell you is
the heart of Brooklyn, so it's wonderful to know Brett has brought his heart
with him to Cincinnati where he puts his heart & hands to the gorgeous
utilitarian work of refurbishing the old with just the right amount of TLC to
make it shine & send out beams of hidden light once again. So to do his
pomes attach themselves & channel the ordinary dissonance of our times into
chiseled lines.</span></div>

hosting its fourth remote event of the Spring 2021 season. Time to pick
ourselves of that carpet of cheery blossoms fallen from budding
branches & walk right into our nearest councilperson's storefront
& demand they do something about police brutality, racial profiling,
gun licenses, intellectual property of vaccines, racist &
discriminatory practices, just to name a few alarms. Thus what better
time to stretch your arms and legs and let your senses imbibe the scents
of new life everywhere. So after a wondrous day of voicing your
protests against continuing political reactionism, vibe to the drum of
mother nature reawakening, we invite ya'll to tune in to these 4 writers
listening to the world through their words on <span style="background-color: yellow; color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">Thursday, May 6th at 8:30 PM EST</span> <b><span style="font-size: medium;">( 7:30 CST, 6:30 MST, 5:30PST, 4:30AST, 3:30 HST) </span></b></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: magenta; color: lime; font-size: x-large;">DeJuan Carter-Woodard</span>- <span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 1.5;"> </span>
<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt;">Realizes the collective will to change often needs a catalyst to set the
wheels of social & cultural evolution in motion. While bleeding between the
bars or being tasered to death at the border has moved many of us to call for
action in dismantling a system of injustice & incarceration that has
increasingly become one of profit & less of rehabilitation (if it ever was
that) we must create a language seeking to deconstruct preconceived notions of who is
placed behind bars, why & what happens once they’re embedded within the penal
system. </span><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></div><div><span style="background-color: lime; color: red; font-size: x-large;">Andrew Joron-</span>
<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt;">Understands that
antonyms abound & where we have antonyms we have
multiple levels of meaning, a discourse wherein the layered black
squares of
George Braque can be reconfigured by Reverdy’s roll of the dice &
the
formations of new word patterns leading to new world views can lead us
to questions without easy answers, all the more worth pursuing.</span><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 1.5;"></span><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: yellow;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: #6aa84f; line-height: 48.0px;">Adrienne Oliver</span></span> </span><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 1.5;">knows
the finished line is never truly, truly finished. The pome grows
along with us, it’s line stretching out as our limbs experience more of
the
world & not just the trauma of living but the tresses of womanhood
&
the truth that untangling hair can bring to the littlest rock in the
circle of being or the biggest wave on the wide ocean's stage</span><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>

poet, the work of the human to build community thru works of art is ever afoot.
As a teaching artist she knows that when the world breaks open we must place
all our constellations of half-lives to work, not just to illuminate the ever
encroaching night but to reveal the beauty within darkness <br /></span><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></div>

winter or extended period spent indoors it's natural to want to feel
sunshine upon your limbs, even if like Bataille you feel the sun is a
cosmic anus, it makes sense to seek happiness and getting some glorious
sunshine on the face certainly helps to feel like Spring is finally
