The festival is being held in conjunction with the University of Cincinnati where Evan is director/curator of the DAAP Art Galleries. The list of events will include an art exhibition, a reading, a concert, and an advanced screening of a film about the life and legacy of Gregory Corso. To kick things off, I'll be giving a lecture on Corso's final unpublished manuscript The Golden Dot on Thurs. Jan. 22nd at 6PM in the University of Cincinnati's Reed Gallery, which is located in the DAAP building. See the full list of events, including dates, times and locations below. I hope if you're in the area you'll consider showing up for some or all of these events.
