SUMMARY:Third Man Books @ City Lights : Destruction of Man by Abraham Smith and The Terraformers by Dan Hoy
DESCRIPTION:Third Man Books @ City Lights\n\ncelebrating new books by Dan Hoy and Abraham Smith\n\n  \nDestruction of Man \nby Abraham Smith \n& \nThe Terraformers \nby Dan Hoy \n  \nabout Abraham Smith: \nAbraham Smith is the author of four poetry collections: Ashagalomancy (Action Books\, 2015); Only Jesus Could Icefish in Summer (Action Books\, 2014); Hank (Action Books\, 2010); and Whim Man Mammon (Action Books\, 2007). In 2015\, he released Hick Poetics (Lost Roads Press)\, a co-edited anthology of contemporary rural American poetry and related essays. His creative work has been recognized with fellowships from the Fine Arts Work Center\, Provincetown\, MA\, and the Alabama State Council on the Arts. Presently\, he is at work upon a poetry manuscript about cranes–birds whose song and stature electrify him. Destruction of Man\, his book-length poem about farming\, is forthcoming in 2018 from Third Man Books. \n  \nabout The Terraformers: \nThe second title in Third Man Books “C” chapbook series\, Dan Hoy’s latest collection of poetry chronicles the last days of an expedition stranded on a desolate planet and beset by depression\, sabotage and failing equipment. In The Terraformers\, human life is mediated by domes and pressure suits\, and the history of human beings is buried in ecocide\, oppression and longing for the infinite\, even if (or because) “the infinite / is death for us.” \n  \nThird Man Books and Records: Where your turntable’s not dead\, and your page still turns.

SUMMARY:Kai Carlson-Wee
DESCRIPTION:This event will be held at our 9th Ave. location. \n\n\n\nKai Carlson-Wee reads from his new poetry collection\, Rail. \n\nPraise for Rail \n\n“Rail is a lovely book\, strong and inspired.” ―Robert Bly \n“This is a wholly unique and powerful collection of poems. The sense of purpose puts one in mind of Whitman’s ‘Song of the Open Road.’ Encounters with fellow vagabonds recalls the tramp-poetry of Vachel Lindsay. But the darker need to search for meaning in the American plains and points farther west―a vastness forlorn and almost unknowable―belongs to the particular vision of this poet. His journey through our national ambiguity discovers a flicker in our roots\, a spark popping from obscurity that rises into the heavens. The lived experience behind these deft and subtle poems seems necessary\, and reiterates the fact that resilience is not only a feature of the American character\, it is a recurring tenet of American art.” ―Maurice Manning  \n“Brotherly love\, a sense of displacement and lost time\, and the deep care that reminds us of our humanity\, form the heart of this book. These poems are a scavengers guide\, a survivalist manifesto\, a reminder of the way our daily experiences can fuel and forge our faith. A hauntingly beautiful and unusual debut.” ―Dorianne Laux \n“Equal parts dithyramb and lament\, the great American bardic tradition celebrates lonesome wandering even as it hungers for enduring communion. Kai Carlson-Wee is a worthy inheritor of its dusty mantle\, worn by Whitman and Kerouac before him\, and Rail is a moving testament to the territories of freight trains\, Minnesota roads\, dumpster diving\, and brotherhood. ‘The road goes on. With or without us.’ Yes\, but how much better to have this unforgettable music to guide the way.” ―Campbell McGrath \n\nAbout Rail \n\nSet against a landscape of rail yards and skate parks\, Kai Carlson-Wee’s debut collection captures a spiritual journey of wanderlust\, depression\, brotherhood\, and survival. These poems―a “verse novella” in documentary form―build momentum as they travel across the stark landscapes of the American West: hopping trains through dusty prairie towns\, swapping stories with mystics and outlaws\, skirting the edges of mountains and ridges\, heading ever westward to find meaning in the remnants of a ruined Romantic ideal. Part cowboy poet\, part prophet\, Carlson-Wee finds beauty in the grit and kinship among strangers along the road. \n  \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRAIL (POULIN #41) (PAPERBACK)\n\nBy Kai Carlson-Wee\n$16.00\nISBN: 9781942683582\nAvailability: On Our Shelves Now. Call store for up-to-the-minute availability.\nPublished: BOA Editions – April 24th\, 2018\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSet against a landscape of rail yards and skate parks\, Kai Carlson-Wee’s debut collection captures a spiritual journey of wanderlust\, depression\, brotherhood\, and survival.

SUMMARY:YOU'RE GOING TO DIE: POETRY\, PROSE & EVERYTHING GOES...
DESCRIPTION:Doors at 7:30pm\nShow at 8pm\n$10 online & at the door…\nTICKETSSSSSS: https://ticketf.ly/2rOcW0A \nYOU’RE GOING TO DIE: Poetry\, Prose & Everything Goes…\nis an open mic event\,\na communal offering for us to explore the conversation of death & dying\,\nto embrace our losses & mortality\,\nto grieve\, bereave & honor those we’ve lost & love…\nwhile all the while making room for simply being ALIVE. \nSign-ups will be the night of & the list fills up quickly\, so if you want to perform\, you’d better get there early… \nIf you’re going to perform\, keep it under 5 MINUTES. That’s right: 5 MINUTES. WE WILL TIME YOU. And we will hug you when we have to stop you [just to make it easier on you (or harder – depending on your propensity for intimacy)]. \nPoetry\, prose\, music\, dancing\, comedy\, drama\, happy\, sad\, & on & on & on… Remember: EVERYTHING GOES… so do whatever you want. \nYou don’t have to perform anything; the audience is as essential as the performers. \nPlease don’t perform anything with a setup that takes much more time than the time it takes for you to walk onstage. Honestly\, plugging things in is endlessly boring. If you need to borrow an instrument\, figure it out before you’re called to the stage. \nIMPORTANT ::: DON’T TAKE YOURSELF SO SERIOUSLY. Come and have fun. The end. Remember. Someday\, we won’t exist and neither will the English language. If you choose to take yourself seriously\, then take yourself so seriously that it’s stupid. Ridiculousness is encouraged. \nYou’re Going to Die. No. Really. You are.
