Flying Guillotine Press is participating in CUNY's Chapbook Festival, which means I'll be reading on Tuesday (May 4th) sometime between 2p-3p along with Angela Veronica Wong. My chapbook, (Ir)Rational Animals will be for sale both days for a measly $6! Flying Guillotine Press will also have cool t-shirts & books for sale. If you can make the reading, I'd love to see you, if not, be sure to support small presses and swing by one of the days and maybe even take a book making class! Everything is free and open to the public.
ANNUAL CHAPBOOK FESTIVAL

Now in its second year, the festival features a two-day bookfair with chapbook publishers from around the country, workshops, marathon poetry readings, and a closing-night reading of prize-winning Chapbook Fellows.
Co-sponsored by The Office of Academic Affairs, The Center for the Humanities, The Graduate Center and MFA Programs in Creative Writing of the City University of New York, The Center for Book Arts, Poets House, Poetry Society of America, and Poets & Writers
