SUMMARY:Black Ocean @ City Lights
DESCRIPTION:  \n        \n  \nwith Carrie Olivia Adams\, Zachary Schomburg\, Hedgie Choi\, and Nathan Hoks \n\n\n\n\n\nBlack Ocean is an award-winning independent publisher based out of Boston\, with satellites in Detroit and Chicago. From early silent films to early punk rock\, Black Ocean brings together a spectrum of influences to produce books of exceptional quality and content. In conjunction with our book releases we manifest our aesthetic in celebrations around the country. We believe in the fissures art can create in consciousness when\, even if just for a moment\, we experience a more vital way of operating in the world—and through that moment then seek out more extreme and enlightened modes of existence. We believe in the freedom we find through enlightened modes of existence\, and we are committed to promoting artists we firmly believe in by sharing our enthusiasm for their work with a global audience. \nThis is a virtual event that will be hosted by City Lights on the Zoom platform. You will need access to a computer or other device that is capable of accessing the internet. If you have not used Zoom before\, you may consider referencing Getting Started with Zoom. \n———- \nEvent is free\, but registration is required. \n(CLICK HERE) to register. \n———- \n\n\n\n\n\nCity Lights celebrates this exemplary independent press with an evening of readings. \nJoining us will be: \nCarrie Olivia Adams \nCarrie Olivia Adams lives in Chicago\, where she edits poetry for Black Ocean\, publicizes books for the University of Chicago Press\, and finds lots of uses for mason jars.
