LAUREL BASTIAN, former MFA, current Halls Emerging Artists Fellow, and the curator of the Crosshatxh poetry series that takes place at Rainbow Books on Gilman St. writes:
Dear literature and community lovers,
Tomorrow, the 29th, at 7pm, four wonderful writers will gather to bring you their best work out loud. If you've already received the details of this show through another medium, my apologies. It's going to be a wonderful one, and if you're free, there's no better place to spend your night tomorrow.
Dr. Daniel Kunene, poet and UW Professor Emeritus of African Languages and Literature, will read from his most recent book as well as new material (including one poem which his wife will join him in reading). Angela Sorby, poet and professor from Milwaukee, who won the 2009 Brittingham Award and the Lorine Niedecker Poetry Award, will perform her recent work. And Jenifer Wolters Gilmour, spoken word artist, interior designer, and mother-to-be from Milwaukee, will perform to the nines as well. We'll also be joined by George Gordon Byron, who may ask you to call him Lord, or who may induce you to murmur it under your breath as he reads his longstanding verses.
Though Madison is full of skilled and dynamic writers and readings, I personally guarantee that this reading will make you swoon and ponder and tap your feet in joy. So don't miss it.
Suggested donations of $3 will go, in entirety, to the Wisconsin Books to Prisoners Project.
Thanks, and hope to see you there.
Laurel
