TONIGHT: City Paper Fiction and Poetry Reading!

POSTED: Wednesday, March 31, 2010, 4:10 PM

For one night only, City Paper will do the reading for you! By reading to you, I mean! Our annual writing contest three months ago was a smashing success. And, back then, we were all excited to put on a big ol reading with the winners and the judges and then... yeah, there were all these blizzards. So, let's try this again. Tonight at the Tin Angel, you and me are gonna have words. Here's the line-up:

Fiction Winner Jessica Penzias, "Death By Oboe"
Poetry Winner Sean Webb, "The Bridge"
Fiction Judge Elise Juska, author of One for Sorrow, Two for Joy
Poetry Judge Thomas Devaney, critic and author of A Series of Small Boxes
and me, your host

Tonight, Wednesday, March 31, 7:30 p.m., FREE!, at The Tin Angel at Serrano, 20 S. Second St, 215-928-0978, tinangel.com.

This was so cool, I just love poetry. Thanks for that.

I just read some great poetry from a guy named Java Bomani. He has a free preview of his book in PDF format. You can check it out at
