AWP

Back from AWP and nearly destroyed.  Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Forklift, Ohio; Agriculture Reader, Lumberyard, Big Bell table.  We had a blast.

Sorry for all the times I put my foot in my mouth.  I think the damage is permanent.

THE NIGHTEST NIGHT is TONIGHT!!!! and CORSO: THE LAST BEAT is TOMORROW!!!

Hi everybody,

THE NIGHTEST NIGHT, a poetry reading celebrating the poetics and poetry of Gregory Corso will take place TONIGHT, 2/5, at 7PM in the University of Cincinnati's DAAP Reed Gallery.

Readers will include: Jane Carver, Evan Commander, Peter Davis, Scott Dennis, Lesley Jenike, Catherine Wagner and myself.

In conjunction with the reading, we're publishing (and giving away FREE to the first 40 attendees) a limited edition chapbook, featuring work by tonight's readers (and others) that shares some affinity with Corso's work.

Also, please note that the final I GAVE AWAT THE SKY event, the advanced director's screening of the feature-length documentary, Corso--The Last Beat will take place tomorrow, 2/6, in the University of Cincinnati's DAAP Rm 4400 at 5:30PM.  Seating is limited, so get there early.  A closing reception for the festival will follow the screening in the DAAP Reed Gallery.

Hope to see you there,

Matt
