THE READING AT CHRYSTIE STREET GETS IT TOGETHER

This time we mean it.

Farrah Field & Jared White read their marvelous poems.

Rising is her first book of poetry and won Four Way Books’ 2007 Levis Prize. She lives in Brooklyn and blogs at adultish.blogspot.com.

 Jared White grew up in Massachusetts and lives in Brooklyn. His poetry has appeared or is forthcoming in journals like Barrow Street, Cannibal, Coconut, Fulcrum, Horse Less Review,The Modern Review, Sorry 4 Snake, Verse, and Word For / Word.

From time to time, he blogs at jaredswhite.blogspot.com and plays the piano.

Please see the two previous entries for a little more about Farrah & Jared.  & if you'd like to see photos from last month's reading with CA Conrad & Ian Dreiblatt, drop us a line here.  We miss you.




Jared White: yes please


& now some Jared White to increase your desire to hear him read with the aforementioned & very delightful Farrah Field:

First, his densely interesting blog.

Second, some essays mentioned by the ever-kindly Steven Karl in his blog

Third, the suggestion--nay, the demand--that you attend his reading at Chrystie Street a week from today, on April 29, to hear him perform fabulous feats of language & sound, to hear him jump through hoops of syntax & come out unscathed on the other side, twirling his moustaches.

Be there!

Farrah Field: total delight



Farrah Field & Jared White are our next readers, appearing at Home Sweet Home at 7 pm on April 29.  So, to get you as excited as we are: a little FF for your reading pleasure.

Farrah's blog can be found at adultish.blogspot.com.  

Her glorious first book, Rising, is now available for purchase. Take a look at the gorgeous cover art and read an excerpt.  Also, buy it: it's a weird & wonderful book, full of the dense murk of sadness & the bright metallic tang of river water.  Also, Farrah is very funny.  It's a wonderful surprise--don't miss out on it.
