Description: Hey Fishes, it's been too long, so we're gonna raise a very special poetry ruckus in the back room of the Four-Faced Liar.
Chris Tonelli is coming all the way up from Carolina, Sampson Starkweather is making a rare departure from his makeshift laboratory deep in the North woods, and Justin Marks is getting out of bed to come celebrate their synchronous publications by Rope-a-Dope press.
Rope-a-Dope Press is a collective of former pugilists in South Boston who create fantastic handmade chapbooks, broadsides, and other collaborations between visual artists and poets.
So come meet us at 6:30 PM in the dank dungeon of the Famous Face, 165 W. 4th St. and 6th Ave., on Thursday November 20th. This isn't one to miss.
Love,
Shafer

Then watch some shorts on Black Masculinity
Dear all:
My friend David Moore has made two short films on the subject of black
masculinity. Please check them out. The short titled REALNESS is about a
woman transitioning to becoming a man; it's fascinating watching her acquire
masculine traits, both good and bad.
This is part of the Masculinity Project (www.masculinityproject.org)
