 GREETINGS READINGS 5/26 7PM


Dear Believers in This World:


Let us gather in the midst of May's slightly thawing spring as the month approaches her last hurrah & so indulge in the beautifully wrought wreckage of this world to hear the permutations of the word this Thursday, May 26th, 2022 at 7:00pm.


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 3 terrific poets & the opening music of The Ghost Shepherds:


Anna Gurton-Wachter: Knows the child is now a child. 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.


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.
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.



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.


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
