This Friday, at the Mountain of Power, it's Battle Royale
Jennifer Karmin, Michael Leong & Estela Lamat
Jennifer Karmin's text-sound epic Aaaaaaaaaaalice will be published by
Flim Forum Press in 2009. She curates the Red Rover Series and is a
founding member of the public art group Anti Gravity Surprise. Her
multidisciplinary projects have been presented at festivals,
artist-run spaces, and on city streets across the U.S. and Japan. At
home in Chicago, she teaches creative writing to immigrants at Truman
College and works as a Poet in Residence for the public schools.
Michael Leong’s poetry career began in the sixth grade when he won his
first and only poetry prize in Mr. Harrison’s class for a haiku about
a snake. Since then, he has published poems and translations in
journals such as Action Yes, Bird Dog, Double Room, jubilat,
Marginalia, Opium Magazine, Pindeldyboz, and Tin House. He is the
author of I, the Worst of All (blazeVOX [books], 2009), a translation
of the Chilean poet Estela Lamat, and e.s.p. (Silenced Press, 2009).
He currently lives in New York City.
Estela Lamat was born at the age of eight in the backyard of the
house. She has conducted meticulous nocturnal studies of
sleeplessness, of stellar chances and causalities. Tamer of cats,
enologist by nose, left-handed, and epileptic, she has never been in a
workshop; she has never entered any contests; nor has she won any
literary awards.

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

(Edith Södergran translated by Christian Ward)
