LITERARY MIXTAPE #9:THE SUMMER EDITION
The Literary Mixtape boys are back in town! Come out this Thursday night to watch Valentine's go up in proverbial flames. Once again, Erik Bader and Matthew Korfhage have put together an evening comprised of what could only be called literary geniuses. From the horses' mouth:
A few kind notes about our readers:
*Lisa Wells is author of a book of poetry (Beast) and of a book of essays on Portland and drunks and musicians and Nicaragua and camping (Yeah. No. Totally.) that had The Stranger calling her "a bomb thrower intent on blowing the stupidity of her own generation to pieces."
*Emily Kendal Frey is a terrifically well-regarded and upstanding poet; aside from her regular appearances in journals and newspapers and such, Frey's book The Grief Performance received both the Cleveland State Poetry Center’s First Book Prize and the Poetry Society of America's First Book Award. Golly.
*Matt Brown is a finely well-read gentleman, the owner and generalized label boss of the very fine music label Bladen County Records, and the co-owner of the very fine bar/venue/refectory Bunk Bar. He also somehow knows every single person in Portland, including your dog and your dog's best friend.
STICK AROUND AFTER-WORDS (get it?) FOR THE HONKY TONK STYLINGS OF THE TENDER LOVE AND CARE DJS!
