Reading: Michael Arnzen at Morgantown Poets

Image
Readings Michael A. Arnzen reading his story from Legends of the Mountain State 4 Last night we headed to the Monongalia Arts Center (MAC, as it is affectionately referred to by resident artists) in Morgantown, WV . The Morgantown Poets were having their monthly meeting, and Mike Arnzen was the guest reader. His ghoulish selections for the Halloween season came from Audiovile , Proverbs for Monsters , Rigmarole: Zombie Poems , Legends of the Mountain State 4 and his inventive tweets . Other readers included Scott Emerson and Ted Webb and Diane Tarantini , who will be sharing their written work at Zenclay in Morgantown on November 5, 2010. A video of Mike's readings will be online soon.

Parties Jason and I recently attended Timons Esaias's 19th Annual Passage Party at his home in Pittsburgh, PA . Lots of wonderful selections were read by lots of interesting people, including some poetry in the original French, sea shanties, Bukowski selections, and "All You Can Hold for 5 Bucks" from McSorley's Wonderful Saloon by Joseph Mitchell from Tim. McSorley's Wonderful Saloon by Joseph Mitchell I chose some pages from Tom Rob Smith's novel Child 44 . It was one of the best books I've read this year. Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith Jason went with "Nemesis" a favorite essay of ours from Klosterman IV by Chuck Klosterman . Klosterman IV by Chuck Klosterman We're already thinking about our selections for next year...
