The details are still sketchy, but I'll be participating in a big underground lit reading in Toledo, Ohio USA on August 6, 2011. It's sponsored by
Red Fez and
Zygote In My Coffee and at
Collingwood Arts Center. It will start at 4 p.m. and, if it's like any other large reading I've attended, end when the last poet passes out from drinking. I'll pass on the details as they arrive, but so far the lineup looks good with
Leopold McGinnis,
Pat Simonelli,
Lynn Alexander,
Karl Koweski, and many more. Maybe we'll even get New Castle, Pennsylvania's second greatest contribution to the culture of the world (after Jack Cole, creator of Plastic Man),
Ron Androla, to sail over from Pennsylvania to Ohio on Lake Erie for the event!
