Klassnik Wag's Effing Press

Rauan Klassnik is interviewed about his first book. It's a good read and Rauan talks about meeting other poets while doing readings, etc which is cool 'cause that's exactly how I met Rauan. Black Ocean books donated some of their titles to a raffle charity which I won so I had read and raved about Holy Land before actually knowing Rauan. Anyways, the interview also talks about his first book process so you should check it out here

Hi friends,

I really hope you can come because it will be a great reading: Ada Limon, Justin Marks, and Farrah Field. If that isn't enough enticement, there will also be free wine and cheese.

Julia
