Our author and well-loved playwright/teacher Aaron Henne will be reading at the great Tongue & Groove this coming Sunday.

Although we’ve had to push the release of his book back a bit, Aaron is one of the hardest working people in the biz.

So do come and check it out. To hear him and also to hear the other fantastic writers (I personally am very excited about hearing Evan Wright).

See you there. Click picture for better view of info.

Andrew Choate @ Tongue & Groove – Sunday 4/19

chiwan — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 01:05:42 +0000

A writer that we are HUGE fans of will be one of the readers at Conrad Romo’s Tongue & Groove event this Sunday.

We like Andrew Choate so much that we told him we’d like to publish his next book. To our delight, he’s all for it. He’s been working on the manuscript right now.

His work is incredibly unique and we love any writer, any artist, who commits to his craft so completely.

His first book, Langquage Makes the Body Plastic, was published by Palm Press. The book comes with a CD that includes Andrew’s musical renditions.

We are very excited and we have to figure out how to do the CD and such, considering the publishing service we use.

Anyway, for a better taste of what Andrew’s about, check out this clip of him reading “Home Depot Weapon”:

DON’T FORGET: Kim @ Skylight Books – Friday 4/3 – 7:30pm!!

chiwan — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 22:56:53 +0000

Please join us at Skylight Books tomorrow night as Kim Calder does her final reading before leaving Los Angeles for Prague!

We’re so excited to have a reading booked at Skylight. It is probably the major independent bookstore (along with Vroman’s in Pasadena) around Los Angeles. Which means, we need to make a GREAT SHOWING so we can have more events there in the future and sell our books there.

Kim will be reading with Cati Porter, poet and editor of Poemelon.

Full info below:

Friday, April 3rd

Fri 3/27 – 8PM – Black & Tan – Stories Bookstore

chiwan — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 01:00:07 +0000

This is the first of the 3 final readings Kim Calder will be reading before she leaves Los Angeles. She’s really done quite of bit of work over the past year, promoting her work, participating in readings. It can get really difficult and tiring and we commend her for it.

So don’t miss her!

Friday, March 27th, 8 p.m. at Stories Bookstore in Echo Park, 1716 Sunset Blvd.

Kim will be reading with Karen Harryman, a Black Goat Press poet (now an imprint of Akashic Books), and here’s her deal:

Karen Harryman’s poems have appeared in Alaska Quarterly, Los Angeles Review, Poetry New Zealand, and the Cortland Review, as well as other print and online journals. Before moving to Los Angeles, she lived and worked in Kentucky for most of her life. Currently, she teaches English and creative writing at YULA, an Orthodox Jewish high school in Los Angeles. Auto Mechanic’s Daughter is her first book.

Stories, if you haven’t been yet, is a beautiful little bookstore that opened in Echo Park. They, like all small independent bookstores, could use our support.

Fri 2/13 – 8 PM – Poetry Sipping – Sip Tea

chiwan — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 20:39:56 +0000

Kim Calder is reading in our neighborhood, Dowtown LA, at the Sip Tea on Broadway.

She will be accompanied, among others, by Melora Walters, who is one of Kim’s students and a wonderful actress (Wanda Henrickson on “Big Love”).

Looking forward to it!

Here’s the info:

Friday, Feb 13th

Wed 1/21 – 8 AM – Moe Green Poetry Hour – BlogTalkRadio

chiwan — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 19:29:07 +0000

On the day after the Inauguration, Kim will be on the Moe Green Poetry Hour, interviewing with Moe Green AKA Rafael F.J. Alvarado. He’s had some incredibly well-respected and loved poets on his show in the past so it means a bunch for him to ask Kim to be on the show. She says she will be reading some pieces, discussing poetry, and just chewing the fat.

If you are in Los Angeles and anywhere near readings and arts events, the chances are you’ve run into Rafael. He is completely committed to reaching out and doing his part to bring the incredible writers in this city into the light. So a big thanks to him

Anyway, once again, Kim Calder interviewed on the Moe Green Poetry Hour on BlogTalkRadio. Here’s the link:
