Dear Somewhat More Open Beings::

Please join us as we convene to ring in this Thursday with 4 wonderful poets this Thursday, October 20th, at 7:00pm. 

Once again, Unnameable (615 Vanderbilt Ave , near the corner of St. Marks) Books is our gracious host . 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:

Alex Tatarsky: understands the Theatre is not closed! All the actors may be sick, but the clown did not go home, instead they had a good idea & got excited and so here we waiting for the shoe to drop when out comes a revolution!

 Basie Allen tests the fabric of the paper, the tensile pull of the muse to pick up the pen or the brush & excavate from raw experience & feeling the object we shall see & hear, the idea come actually to physical space to fruit & inhabit the space & places between our ears

Karen Weiser  chips away the layers upon layers to discover the kernel made when we were 3 or 6 or 9, now forming a logic that is unconscious and knows no bodily bounds


Marko Pogacar is a brother in a storm as he listens in a canary suit below the wind howling as we will listen to him tonite illuminated, set aglow by residue of a Neon South dogging his most pleasurable trail

The Red Kremlin: are really a group of guys who never took the opportunity to be communists so the music may morph into something other than it usually does or maybe not! That's the beauty of jazz Psych improvisation, it goes where the evening & players takes it, so take your seat & listen as the tunes lace into early evening bird call.

This event is free. The meet n greet begins at 7:00 as the band plays with the call & response of the birds. We plan to commence the series at 7:30 sharp with a quick hello, followed by the introduction to the 1st poet/ performer. 

Please keep in mind that this Thursday October 20th calls for lots of sun within the high fifties but it will get chillier especially as the day turns to the magic hour and avian cousins get chirpy... So don't be afraid of your Autumn Sweaters or come without shirt sleeves, the backyard does not discriminate.

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 55's so dress as you see fit. As always we look forward to seeing old & new faces. 

Listen for the bang of the drum or the rattle-shake of the chekere. 

X's to your O's,
Jeffrey Joe
