Join us next Saturday the 9th for the 53rd edition of Crush, our reading series of poetry, prose, and miscellaneous text hosted by Suzanne Goldenberg. Doors at 6:30, Reading at 7pm. 414 Broadway, 3rd Floor. May 9th Readers: Leonora Donovan, Jodi Lin, James Loop, Andriniki Mattis To find in language the textures of our lives and the sensibilities of our world. For the pleasures of the text, for the pleasures of the voice. Leonora Donovan is a poet, sexual intermediary, and a member of the Creature Comfort Press editorial collective. You can find her work mostly in emails to her friends. Jodi Lin identifies as a gender expansive poet, filmmaker and a person who hears voices. Taiwanese of the Seediq Tribe, they are currently based in Manhattan. Their writing practice is enriched by the certified peer recovery coaching and support they provide. The Tenderness of Glass is their debut collection from new words (press). The book was written as an offering of a new world to their ancestors. James Loop is a writer from Central New York and the author of several chapbooks. His work has been published in the Brooklyn Rail, Hot Pink, Hyperallergic, Lambda Literary, and Prelude. Audio/visual iterations of poems have been exhibited at Art-o-rama (Marseille), CRAC-Occitanie, Frieze London, and the Material Art Fair (Mexico City). For Belladonna* Collaborative, he’s curated readings at Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Public Library, Montez Press Radio, and elsewhere. He lives in Brooklyn and works as the Publicity Director for World Poetry. Metronome is his first full-length poetry collection. Andriniki Mattis is a poet and fiction writer. He is a Cave Canem graduate fellow and has received fellowships from Poets House and The Poetry Project. He received his M.A. in Creative Writing and Education from Goldsmiths University of London and a B.A. in Political and Poetic Resistance from Brooklyn College.

Tonight at 7 the Bureau hosts First Epistle to the Amphibians: Brazilian Poetry Book Launch, brought to us by World Poetry Books. Author Ricardo Domeneck will be joined by the translator, Chris Daniels, as well as poets Natasha Tiniacos and James Loop. This event is in person only. Join us!

next stop: back in NEW YORK CITY. TONIGHT — Chris Daniels and I share stage with James “Mother Superior” Pool and Natasha Tiniacos at the Bureau of General Services — Queer Division. THE LGBT COMMUNITY CENTER ROOM 210 208 WEST 13TH STREET Track: SECOS E MOLHADOS, “Primavera nos dentes” [Spring in the teeth], based on João Apolinário’s poem. The band is one of the most iconic queer references in Brazil and I highly recommend them. #RicardoDomeneck #ChrisDaniels #JamesLoop #NatashaTiniaco #BGSQD

Tonight at 7 is the really official launch of Saint James Loop’s hotly anticipated METRONOME at Montez Press Radio 46 Canal It’s also Shakespeare’s birthday as James reminded me if you need another reason to celebrate I accidentally stole the phrase “drag of history” from James once and he let me keep it in the poem It’s great being in a language situation with him even if it’s theft, though I prefer to think of it as “epigenetic mingling” Regardless, these poems become part of the architecture of your thought, read them if you are not disturbed by influence

Up next! World Poetry authors and translators reading in Cambridge, New York, D.C., and Troy in the next few days. It’s a poetry in translation bonanza. See you out there.

Thursday, April 23rd at 7 PM: Launch party for James Loop’s debut poetry book Metronome, featuring readings from James Loop, a.Monti, Sol Cabrini, and Nicholas Glastonbury

New Orleans is where my great grandparents met (at the dingy Pat O’Brians), and where my grandfather was born. I fell in love with the Spanish moss and the singing oak. I fell in love with the poets and their many wares. I hope to see you all again soon thanks @neworleanspoetry First photo cred by @lowtechlaura
