This event will take place on Thursday, April 22nd at 8 P.M. The performance will be held at the John Natsoulas Gallery at 521 1st Street. The first 100 guests will receive a free drink, with more free drinks with the purchase of any Flatmancrooked books.<br /><br />Flatmancrooked is a full-service, independent online and print publishing house established by Elijah Jenkins and James Kaelan in 2008. Since then, they have held readings and other events on both coasts and at numerous universities, partnered on various ventures with the likes of McSweeney’s, Opium, AWP, and SxSW, and published three print books and two anthologies, with many more yet to be released in 2010 and beyond. Andy Duga, N.A. Jong, and Kevin Walsh, recipient of the 2009 Flatmancrooked Fiction Prize, will be reading their work from 2010’s Not About Vampires: An Anthology of New Fiction Concerning Everything Else. Poets Julia Halprin Jackson, Shideh Etaat, Whitey Erickson, and Poetry Night’s own Andy Jones will be reading from the Slim Anthology of Contemporary Poetics – 2010, due to be published in Fall 2010. For further information on Flatmancrooked’s current projects and to purchase any of their publications, visit them online at www.flatmancrooked.com.<br /><br />Attendees are encouraged to arrive early at the John Natsoulas Gallery to secure a table, and to sign up for a spot on the Open Mic list. The Poetry Night Reading Series, hosted by Andy Jones and produced by Brad Henderson, occurs on the first Wednesday of the month at Bistro 33, and this month on the third and fourth Thursdays at the

Human Nature marks a splendid debut. - Thomas Lux<br /><br />The poet here is someone new in American letters. . . These poems are shocking and bravem relentless in their obsessive power. - Garrett Hongo<br /><br />Alice Anderson is willing to investigate the darkest of answers . . . her ferocious map of the past also points the way out. "Welcome," she tells us "to the living." - Mark Doty<br /><br />Beware, all who enter here. Anderson's remarkable first book, winner of the 1994 Elmer Holmes Bobst Award for Emerging Writers, is like an outcropping of hell-the reader is compelled by fascination and horror to keep reading. These are poems of paternal incest and complicity: the brother brought into the sister's room to watch her sexual activity with the father; the mother talking about it with the daughter as if "we're in this together"; the woman grown, betrayed, enraged, and convinced that "no man will ever adore me that way again." Dedicated to Sharon Olds, these poems bear her influence: the unflinching look at a difficult reality, the rich attention to physical detail, the rush of overwhelming experience, the aesthetic control. The book's last line-"It's the human's nature to survive, welcome to the living"-which also gives the book its grim and hopeful title, celebrates survival. Anderson's life force is implicit in the language throughout these<br /> poems, objective, exact, charged with an emotional force given only to those who have been to hell and returned to tell the tale. - Publisher's Weekly, starred reviewPoetry in Davishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03810296826757522343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816851168163882779.post-12246391653480654272009-08-15T03:31:00.001-07:002009-08-15T03:33:02.210-07:00Alice Anderson performs at Poetry Night at Bistro 33<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_edMVb9NMnx8/SoaO1tDU_AI/AAAAAAAAAD0/ewsezWr4RiM/s1600-h/AliceAnderson.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 263px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_edMVb9NMnx8/SoaO1tDU_AI/AAAAAAAAAD0/ewsezWr4RiM/s320/AliceAnderson.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370136658963659778" /></a><br /><br />Poetry Night at Bistro 33 is proud to welcome Alice Anderson on Wednesday, August 19th at 9 P.M. <br /> <br />Author of the New York University Press book Human Nature, which has won two major first book prizes, Alice Anderson is a strikingly talented poet.
