I’m Reading this Saturday in Philly

I’ll be reading for Art Loft PA’s salon in Philadelphia this weekend. 

Saturday’s salon features the work of visual artist Kim Piotrowski and music by Lee Allen. 

The salon is invitation only- if you’d like to go just shoot me an email ahead of time.

Readers today appreciate variations and plays on cliche in the way past readers appreciated classical allusions.

Here is a tiny version of one of the new poems I’m working on. They are big squares of text called FIELDS.
Each FIELD is accompanied by five GROWTHS (not pictured). The GROWTHS incorporate chance operation, live composition, and language culled exclusively from the FIELD.

I bet any poet of conscience who doesn’t actively write about sociopolitical subjects knows this feeling, but the poet is trying to write the original thing, and that originality might not take up orbit around a more obvious facet of a poet’s identity. When any of us doesn’t take on such a subject in our writing, it might not be because we neglected to do so. Rather, it might be that the subject informed every bit of our deciding to write about something else.
— Jaswinder Bolina in an essay for Poetry

I have some poems from BEAR SUITE and a poem called WE ARE ALL OF US in the new issue of NOÖ Weekly (emphatically endorsed by the late Ted Stevens above). 

The issue is guest edited by Laura Eve Engel and includes work by Karyna McGlynn, Sean Lovelace, Michelle Chan Brown, and Adam Peterson.
