Dear SPLAB-Fan,
We’re gearing up for the resumption of Living Room at the Columbia City Cinema on Tuesday, Feb 2 at 7PM. We meet upstairs in the 2nd floor lounge. The address is 4816 Rainier AV S and the suggested donation is $3-$10. Please come to read new work, the work of someone else, or come just to be in the engaging company of other writers.
Here are some local events which may interest you:
Your Humble Splabman reads from his new book A Time Before Slaughter this Sunday, January 24 at 3P at Open Books: A Poem Emporium.
One of only two All Poetry bookstores in the U.S., please consider attending this reading and helping the cause of John Marshall and Christine Deavel. What they do is a tremendous service to the local poetry community and deserve our support.
New Anthology: The Whole Island: Six Decades of Cuban Poetry
I just got my copy this week and it is a remarkable achievement by Mark Weiss. I’ve only thumbed through it, but what a necessary volume! Read the intro here. We’ll certainly be reading work from this in the Living Room.
