Sponge: Cheena Marle Lo, Angela Hume + Jacob Kahn

Its the one-year anniversary of Sponge! We’re celebrating by having some great poets come out, some of whom will be leaving the Bay Area, heardbreaking but full of excitment. Just like Spring! Maybe we’ll even have some elderflower liqueur.

Cheena Marie Lo is the author of the full length title A Series of Un/Natural/Disasters (Commune Editions, 2016). They co-edit the literary journal, HOLD.

Angela Hume has been a poet in Oakland for 11 years. But now she’s leaving town, and having so many feelings! Angela is the author of the chapbooks Melos (Projective Industries, 2015), The Middle (Omnidawn, 2013) and Second Story of Your Body (Portable Press at Yo-Yo Labs, 2011). Her first full-length book is Middle Time (Omnidawn, 2016).

Jacob Kahn is a poet originally from the Rocky Mountains. He lives in Oakland, CA, where he works at E.M. Wolfman Books and teaches at an elementary school. A poetic guidebook, ‘A Circuit of Yields: Conventional Wisdom for Giants’ (2015), is out from Wolfman Books. Other recent work can be found in Elderly, Open House, and Spork.
