Son of a Pony
Poetry Series

Featured Poet: Meagan Brothers; Spotlight Poet: Blair Reeve

PLUS NYC's Consummate Open POETRY Mike; Hosted by Kat Georges

Meagan Brothers is the author of Debbie Harry Sings in French, which was named an ALA Best Book for Young Adults and won a GLBT Roundtable ALA Award. Its prequel, Supergirl Mixtapes, was released by Henry Holt in April of this year. Meagan is a native Carolinian, and her poetry has appeared most recently in The Night Bomb Review, on poetz.com, and in the forthcoming Spiny Babbler anthology edited by Brant Lyon and Liza Wolsky.

Blair Reeve is a New Zealand poet who has been living in Asia for the past twelve years. His performance work has been variously described as "Dr Seuss for adults" and "machine gun poetry" by friends and fellow poets scrambling for ways to contain what cannot be circumscribed within a pithy epithet. His rhythmic poetry takes linguistic mimesis to new heights with comic effect.

Plus--the comprehensive Son of a Pony open reading, hosted by the essential Kat Georges. YOU are invited to read your poetry! Sign up and have a ball! Doors open at 5:45 p.m.; open reading begins at 6 p.m. Admission is $8, which includes a free drink. Cornelia Street Cafe is at 29 Cornelia Street, in the West Village of New York City (between W. 4th Street and Bleecker). 212-989-9319

Ism Is a Retrovirus

Inheriting Craziness is LIke a Soft Halo of Light

Thomas Fucaloro's spectacular first collection of poetry is a beautiful, raw, intense read. According to Emily Kagan Trenchard, curator of the louderARTS Project, "Thomas Fucaloro’s particular gift is to harness the crazed wisdom at the bottom of the bottle, to scrape a fleck of beauty from the underside of a binge, and to call madness by a name so familiar we can’t help but recognize it in ourselves." In these 57 poems, Fucaloro brings to light new angles of perception of madness, addiction and modern urban living. Each poem takes risks in form and content. As author Jon Sands notes, "To read Thomas is to literally discover each line with him. There's really nothing he won't say. He's as surprised as you are."

DRUNKYARD DOG

DrunkYard Dog by Peter Carlaftes is a collection by a new poetic master who has honed his intense, insightful and inspiring poetic voice on the playgrounds of the Bronx, and the bars of Manhattan. Tales of bartender blues and bliss, injected with hope in a mileau of madness swirl into a powerful poetic cocktail. Carlaftes offers a brilliant poetic voice, filled with drop-dead humor, searing insight and resilient originality, even while resonating with overtones of Bukowski, Baudelaire and Bogart.

TRIUMPH FOR RENT

Playwright Peter Carlaftes presents three compelling, funny and biting dramas in Triumph for Rent: Three Plays (Three Rooms Press, 182 pages, 2010). The plays include Spin-Dry: An hilarious wild ride through a 90s rehab center for celebrities; Hunger: inspired by the Knut Hamsun novel; and Frontier A-Go-Go, a time travel piece uniting the hippie 60s, nerd/rave 90s and techno future. "As with Strindberg, Beckett, or even Satre—Carlaftes' message seems to be something we intuit . . . like music." SF Weekly.

MARY ANDERSON'S ENCORE

In “Mary Anderson’s Encore,” award-winning international playwright Larry Myers explores the great American tragedienne, Mary Anderson, who skyrocketed to fame with her first role, and retired by age 30. Called by the New York Daily News “One of Off-Broadway’s wittiest & more prolific playwrights,” Myers’ works have been seen in Rome, Italy at Teatro Olimpico & Scotland’s Edinburgh Festival, as well as Anchorage, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Louisville, San Francisco & Los Angeles.
