Description

Our fifth reading is around the corner, and it's a multimedia affair featuring work by Chloe Bass, Paul Tunis, Nicolle Elizabeth, and Jordan Scott. Come to the library on Saturday the 11th from 3 to 5PM, and expect a random grab bag of video, audio, and other elements you may be unused to encountering in a library... as well as (more traditionally) poetry, prose, and FULL USE of the chalkboard. HOW CAN YOU AFFORD TO MISS IT? The answer is you cannot.

Also, check out http://www.bushwickreadingseries.org for audio of past readings -- and email us at bushwickbunker@gmail.com if you're interested in reading on future dates.
