SUNDAY – 3/30 – Kim Reads at Tongue & Groove

Our poet, Kim Calder, will be reading at this month’s Tongue & Groove, a great monthly series hosted by Conrad Romo.

Kim will be reading pieces from her upcoming collection, who’s to say what’s home, and maybe pieces we haven’t seen before (I hope!).

Conrad has been running Tongue & Groove for about 4 years now, I believe, the last couple of years at the Hotel Cafe, one of our favorite venues in the city. Bar. Food. Stage. Mood lighting.

The other readers on the bill that night are: Joshuah Bearman, Gary Phillips, and Dana Johnson. Music by Izzy Cox. And Conrad usually reads some short pieces too.

This is NOT our official book release reading/party. That’s coming in April and we’ll be keeping you up to date. However, it is a great chance to get a glimpse, a listen, to some of the work that will be appearing in the book.

See you there! Read on for details.

WLP interviewed on BlogTalkRadio

Writ Large Press was interviewed by Stacey Mangiaracina and Roy Johnston of “Between the Sheets,” a show on BlogTalkRadio. They wanted to know what our process has been in launching a small literary press and we read some of the poems from Kim’s collection.

The two hosts were really great, generous and supportive, and we’re looking forward to speaking to them again.

Come on in! We’re open!

Okay. It’s a bit rough around the edges, but we have finally opened our (virtual) bookstore.

Here’s the entrance. Come on in.

Once inside, you will see our entire catalog of books. Don’t freak out when you see only one title in this catalog, because we all know that it’s going to grow into something incredible.

We have the Proof

It’s here. It’s beautiful. And we’re excited as all freakin’ hell. Yesterday, we received the proof copy of Who’s to Say What’s Home from Lightning Source.

We spent a good amount of time going through the pages, checking for errors, and mostly staring at it from all angles. To paraphrase our dear friend Michelle in New York, it is beautiful and perfect. (Okay, there was one slightly misaligned page that we instantly corrected, but still perfect!)

LAUNCH DATE SET – Friday 5/2!!

MARK YOUR CALENDARS: Friday, May 2nd, 7 pm on. The Writ Large Press Launch. Kim Calder book release.

We just talked to a manager at La Cita and he says it’s a go. We’re going to have our launch and release party there on May 2nd. So mark your calendars and plan on joining us.

They’re letting us have the back patio of the bar at no cost, other than all the booze that people will be buying and drinking, on a Friday night. It will start at 7 and we’ll start wrapping up around 10′ish.
