Amongst The Giants

The lists of best-of(s) continues & you know I like to make lists so check out my three picks over at HTMLGIANT.

Here are two readings that I can't make but I'm sure will be amazing:

We have good news! The Reading at Chrystie Street has moved! You can now find us at

The Four Faced Liar
165 West 4th Street, between 6th & 7th Avenues
on the third Thursday of every month,
7 PM SHARP, as always.

We have better news! Thursday, December 17th brings us the charming Dan Hoy & the acrobatic Justin Lacour. You will not want to miss this, even if you have to sit behind that damn pillar because you arrived a little late.

Dan Hoy lives in Brooklyn and is co-founder of the art, literature, and philosophy magazine SOFT TARGETS. His work includes GLORY HOLE | THE HOT TUB (Mal-O-Mar, 2009) written with Jon Leon, BASIC INSTINCT: POEMS (Triple Canopy, 2008), and OUTTAKES (Lame House Press, 2007).

Justin Lacour lives in Astoria, Queens. His poems have appeared in jubilat, Conjunctions, Soft Targets, Horseless Review, and Mustachioed.

Brooklyn Copeland's new chapbook, Borrowed House, is out and just waiting for your hot hands to touch it. Order it from Greying Ghost Press.

A bit ago I blogged about Julia Cohen's lastest chapbook & Kristi Maxwell has a review of it here & HTML Giant gave Cohen some love here.

If you haven't been reading HTML Giant, you should check it out. I must admit I check the site frequently throughout the day. In fact, that & Dimemag are the two sites I look at almost obsessively, I know I'd be much cooler if I said it was the Huffington Post or New York Times, but there you have it.


Today I'm going to meet some friends for brunch at Freeman's & then spend the rest of the afternoon grading papers. If the papers don't completely ruin my taste for the written word I hope to finish reading the novel, The End, and check out Eleven Eleven's first full online edition featuring:
