How about a new e-chapbook collaboration from Sawako Nakayasu and Jen Hofer. What? Yep completely ridiculous in the way you love it most. Read it here.

How 'bout the fact that Dan Magers & I are both reading on Saturday? Sadly at separate locations. Here's the info on Dan's reading. I'll post the flyer for mine on Wednesday.

Dear Gmail,

Please tell my friends that I am reading on Saturday at 2pm with Flarf powerhouse Katie Degentesh. I hear she's reading some new stuff, and I completely expect it to be amazing. Tell them that if they are not too hung over, or walking in the park with their loved ones, or making $$$, or staring into the void of your peeling bedroom walls, to please stop by and hear some Poetry.

Your #1 fan,

DPM

Saturday, September 12, from 1pm-6pm (or some part thereof) to celebrate and commemorate the first nine years of Fence Magazine!

There's also Mark Bibbins' book release party on Saturday night and Earshot on Friday night:
Children of EARSHOT! Your time has come.

Please join us, one and all, for our Fall '09 season kick-off event this Friday, September 11th, at a new starting time of 7:30 PM! We'll be at the fabulous Rose Live Music in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and our line-up will chase away those post-summertime blues.

This time around, we're featuring poets JAMES BELFLOWER (author of the new collection Commuter from Instance Press) and CLAIRE DONATO (recent Brooklyn transplant and author of the chapbook Someone Else's Body). And our trio of MFA writers is the collective icing on the literary cake.

As always, you get all this, plus a free drink, for a measly five clams. No inflation here.

Your pal,
Nicole

The Brooklyn Book Festival is happening on Sunday. Full schedule here.

Some Goods & Then Some More Goods

The Brooklyn Bookfest happens on Sunday, September 13th and this discussion which takes place at St. Francis College looks pretty good:

12:00 p.m. Poetry, Pop, and Hip-Hop. A panel discussing how poets, songwriters and rappers push language in new and essential ways. Featuring Lupe Fiasco, musician and poet Thurston Moore, Tracie Morris and Matthew Zapruder (The Pajamaist). Moderated by Touré.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The 13th is also the final day of the Boog City Festival with a day long reading at Unnameable Books featuring friend and soon-to-be-press mates, Veronica Wong. I'll post the complete schedule sometime next week.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The other day I was reading Nicolle Elizabeth's blog and discovered this pizza blog. Awesome, you know I always look at the artist, Stella Hultberg's blog to see what she & often her husband, Matthew, have been eating. My favorite cat, Ethan, also has a guest appearance on the blog. I don't know Vanessa but she and I share friends in common and I often look at her blog for food. Although the more recent post haven't been as food-centric.
Does anyone know of any good coffee &/or beer blogs?

Speaking of Nicolle Elizabeth she has poems in the new ish of Sawbuck

A new ish of Softblow is up & eagerly awaiting you.
