New Series @ The Common: Brown, Spahr, Fitterman

I'm very pleased to have received this, the below, from amazing poet, translator, person, Brandon Brown. A pretty great way to kick things off too! If in or around the Bay Area, check er out...

I'm thrilled to announce a new reading series in San Francisco at THE COMMON (1077 Mission Street at 7th. ONE BLOCK from CIVIC CENTER BART). The inaugural reading features JULIANA SPAHR and ROB FITTERMAN. It all goes down THURSDAY, JANUARY 13th at 7:30 p.m. It costs $5. This is a good one!
I hope to see you there!

  4. Michelle-- great to hear it was as good as I figured it would be. I love JS's work and Rob's... wish I'd been within a couple hundred miles in order to go myself. Oh, and Brandon, since it's his new series, put together the blog post, and just passed said info along to me, so I take no credit for it. I love his work as well, an amazing poet-translator. And what a kind soul. Solidarity, david
