Paul Corman-Roberts
Youssef Alaoui
This reading promises to be a momentous occasion of joyous and dark surprise. Diversity of vision and style is the heart and soul of this reading. Michael Rothenberg will bring his strange brew of San Francisco Renaissance meditations, savvy humor and political rant; Owen Hill, the wizard of Moe’s legendary reading series, is always smart and insightful and sets the stage for a noir apocalypse; Paul Corman-Roberts, notoriously unable to see his forest for his trees, brings a message yearning for community and justice tempered with a reckless if soulful heart, and Youssef Alaoui will engage the surreal and the fabulist with his strange dark melodies. This is the first time these poets have read together and it might be the last. Join us for a night of celebration and exultation!
