Poets on Craft: Major Jackson and Suji Kwock Kim

6:30pm, 55 W 13^th, Theresa Lang Center, Arnhold Hall (Free)

In association with the New School's Creative Writing Program, Cave Canem Foundation, North America's premier "home for Black poetry," will sponsor an evening of conversation and poetry with Major Jackson and Suji Kwock Kim. The program inaugrates Poets of Craft, a series focuing on the perspectives of poets whose work responds, however indirectly, to the experience of living and working as a minority artist in a Eurocentric culture. Poets on Craft is supported, in part, by The Greenwall Foundation; the New York Community Trust, Lila Wallace Theater Fund; and public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the New York State Council on the Arts. Additional funding is provided by The Ford Foundation and Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Pivotal Place: New York City. For more information, go to www.cavecanempoets.org

This Friday, November 7th, You Have A Date!

Take a Long Walk on the Beach With

Tim Peterson, Adam Tobin, David Carillo & Kate Broad!

Tim Peterson lives in Brooklyn and writes poetry, all the while
seeking out other complexly gendered individuals for companionship and
connection, hungry for articulations of reading and being read as
voiced experiences hunting you like a bluejay. SINCE I MOVED IN (Gil
Ott Award, Chax Press) was published in 2007. Tim edits EOAGH: A
Journal of the Arts.

Adam Tobin owns and operates Unnameable Books, a new and used
bookstore in central Brooklyn. He is author of Ode to Pumpsie Green &
Stretch Phillips (horse less press, 2005) and editor of The Weekly
Weakling (forthcoming), a series of occasional letterpress pamphlets.
You may have seen his older work in EOAGH or Fence or other
publications, but he hasn't really written much since he opened the
bookstore. He promises, however, to read at this reading at least one
poem you've never seen before.

David Carillo lives in West Hartford with his wife and dog. He is
working on his MFA in Creative Nonfiction at the University of
Pittsburgh and teaches English at the University of Connecticut at
Waterbury. He has poems forthcoming in nanomajority.com.

Kate Broad has lived in India and Brazil and currently resides in
Brooklyn, where she is a doctoral student in English at the City
University of New York Graduate Center. She has poems in Freshwater,
The Wellesley Review, and forthcoming in Karamu, and has won several
writing awards, including one from the Academy of American Poets. Kate
is working on her first full-length manuscript, Hard to Swallow.
