Join me this Thursday, April 25 at 7:00 pm as I do another poetry reading with my friends Richard Fox and Robert McDonald! As part of Chicago indie bookstore The Book Cellar's poetry month program, Robert, Richard and I have been invited to share the store's area-in-front-of-the-magazines (it's not exactly a stage). I'll be reading from my forthcoming collection Telephone. The reading is free, but be sure to allow yourself time to browse and buy books! The Book Cellar, 4736-8 North Lincoln Ave. 60625 773-293-2665. |

Come up (or down, or over) to Rogers Park's own Mess Hall this Friday for the Between Reading!
The Between Reading presents texts based on the creative reading of and response to Nicholas Alexander Hayes's first novel Between. The source text examines perception and identity in a decaying American town. True to the shifting planes of perception in the book, writers and poets were invited to respond to the work through whatever modes they preferred. Their responses have been compiled in the Between Compendium.

As part of the Seventh Annual Chicago Calling Arts Festival (click here for full programming info), I will be presenting a collaborative poetic performance entitled "Surrogates." I'll be offering poems written in collaboration with j/j hastain, inviting the audience to become involved as performers or prompters. Check the attached press release for more details--it should be a great evening of exciting improvisational and genre-blurring performance! |

I am very pleased to announce that my full-length poetry collection Telephone has been accepted for publication by Brooklyn Arts Press for their 2013 series! I've been invited to do the cover, too, which is quite a luxury. I am deeply honored to be included in B.A.P.'s author lineup.
For those interested in purchasing a copy once it's available, you'll be able to do so (and to pre-order) online through B.A.P.'s website, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble. The book will also be handled in the U.

I'd like to announce a great exhibition of visual poetry opening on Monday, April 9 at the Addison Center for the Arts. The show includes amazing work by many visual poets from the Chicago region and beyond, and is curated by Francesco Levato. I provided ten pieces from my series "Natural History," though I don't know if all will be in the show. All the info is here, along with a nice image of one of my pieces, as a sample of what will be shown! The gallery's info page is nice too as a source of info about visual poetry, its types and techniques. |

 Emergency INDEXis a great new annual focusing on documentation of performance. It's put out by the wonderful Ugly Duckling Presse, and I'm looking forward to its release. I can't make the release party at the Kitchen (as announced here). But those of you in the NYC area should try to make it. It looks great!
Oh yeah, I'm in thisINDEXtwice: as part of the Human Micropoem, and for the "Restrictive Andragogies and Ex-Citation" performance with Nicholas Alexander Hayes, in the Red Rover series. |

It will be swell! |
