SUMMARY:Karen Brennan + Elizabeth T. Gray Jr.
DESCRIPTION:DIESEL\, A Bookstore in Oakland hosts another installment of Poetry Flash on Sunday\, November 13th at 3pm. This will be a celebration for Four Way Books and the featured guest poets will be Karen Brennan and Elizabeth T. Gray\, Jr. \nPoetry Flash readings are wheelchair accessible. ASL interpreters may be requested one week in advance from editor@poetryflash.org. Visit Poetryflash.org for more events and reviews! \nKaren Brennan’s new book is Monsters\, a collection of thirty-eight innovative fictions. Lance Olsen says\, “Monsters takes the form of an extraordinary wunderkammer filled with narraticules….about what can’t stay\, what was probably never there to begin with\, and the beauty of that\, and the biting loss.” Her previous book\, Little Dark\, is a hybrid of poems and prose threaded together as memoir. Her previous books include two books of poems\, Here on Earth and The Real Enough World\, two books of short fiction\, and a memoir. Her fiction and poetry are widely anthologized. She’s also the recipient of a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. \nElizabeth T. Gray\, Jr.’s new book of poems is Series | India. Jennifer Grotz calls it “a gorgeously woven book-length sequence of poems that moves from New York to India\, from a dying mother to a motley group of spiritual seekers.” She is a poet\, translator\, and a corporate consultant and has published translations from classical and contemporary Persian. She is currently collaborating on the translation of a Tibeto-Mongolian folk epic.
