Barbes Gets Meta
Wait, what? Blog? Zuh?
I always promise I'll be back. This time I promise nothing, suckers. If I blog, I blog. If I don't, I don't. Although there are some blog-worthy things coming up soon, and I wanted to make sure you guys weren't shocked if I DID in fact start writing in here.
Oh, right, and I can promise one other thing. I can promise that this Sunday, the
Barbes Reading Series is going to be awesome, as we present three very talented writers who happen to be curators of their own series:
Cheryl Burke is an award-winning poet and creative nonfiction writer. Her work appears in dozens of print and online publications including; BLOOM, Small Spiral Notebook, The Guardian, Reactions 5, Pills, Thrills, Chills and Heartache, The Milk of Almonds and Poetry Nation. Cheryl curates and hosts The Atomic Reading Series at the Lucky 13 Saloon in Park Slope, produces the Poetry vs. Comedy Variety Show at Galapagos in Williamsburg and is also directing the reading series for the Pink Ink Queer Writers Conference in June.
Elise Miller hosts and curates the East Side Oral reading series. Her first novel, Star Craving Mad, about a celeb-obsessed NYC private school teacher (Warner Books) is in stores now in the United States, Japan and Indonesia, and has been optioned for a movie by Maverick Films (Madonna's production company). Essays from her memoir, COCK-CRAZY! have been published on freshyarn.com, nerve.com, papotage.com, and smallspriralnotebook.com. Her work has also appeared in The Sun Magazine. Elise has performed at Heeb Magazine's The Shmoth, and has read excerpts of her work in NYC and Brooklyn at Fez, Makor, HERE Arts Center, KGB, Boudoir Bar, Galapogos Arts Space and Halcyon.
Amanda Stern is the author of The Long Haul (Soft Skull Press, 2003). She founded The Happy Ending Music and Reading Series in 2003 and has been curating and hosting it ever since.
Barbes is located on 6th Ave and 9th Street in Park Slope. (The F train to 7th Ave and 10th St. will take you almost right to its front door!)
The reading series has been proceeding swimmingly. New York magazine, in particular, LOVES us. (And why wouldn't they? We're cute. I mean, uh, I will stop using the royal "we" now.)
