Dear, Charles, 

I am the founding and managing editor of the nomadic sojourns creative collective, a nonprofit publishing and events collective with bases in Brooklyn, NY, and Oakland, CA (as of December 2013). For the past five months, we have been busy organically assembling a new space in Fruitvale, Oakland, and we are now in a position to start opening our doors to events that combine live musical performances with live readings in an intimate, unique setting. 

As soon as we began pondering who we wanted to reach out to regarding participation in our first event, we thought of AK Press. As such, we wanted to know if you have two poets (either locally based or that will be coming through the Bay Area) that would be interested in participating in a live reading of their work near the end of June (a tentative date/time has been set for Friday, June 20, from 8:00–10:00 p.m.)? 

The audience will be carefully curated and limited to 15 people, excluding the performers/poets, and featured on our website. Wine and food will be provided. It's an offbeat spot and we want to offer offbeat events with folks that live to and through their own beats, rhythms, and rhymes. 

Donations will be collected at the event and performers/poets paid for their performances and readings. All performers and poets are of course welcome to sell copies of their albums/books at the event as well. 

I look forward to hearing your thoughts when you have a moment, and please know that AK Press has many fans here at the nomadic sojourns creative collective. 

Sincerely,

J. K. Fowler
