Hi friends,

I'm sending this note perhaps a little indiscriminately, since you never know who (or whose friends) who might be in New York, Boston or Chicago this summer... If it's an irritant, do let me know please. Need tips on how to do this mailing list thing efficiently and non-intrusively.

If you are around, I hope you can come to one of my readings:

*Boston*: tonight (June 10), with Katia Kapovich (Russian poet, and one of the most amazing, intense poets I know of, the very embodiment of poetry) at Pierre Menard Gallery. Sorry if you weren't invited earlier! The event invitation is here:

This event kindly sponsored by Fulcrum Annual and Pierre Menard Gallery.

*New York*

1. Friday June 20: Bronx Museum, 1040 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY. (T: 718-681-6000) 7-9 pm.

I will be performing with Rodrigo Toscano, Camille Guthrie, Drew Gardner, Brandon Downing and Monica de la Torre, for an event linked to the ongoing show at the Bronx Museum, "How Soon Is Now?", featuring 30 emerging artists. Each of us will be collaborating with an artist in the exhibition; for my part, I am working with Laura Napier on a performance in relation to her fascinating piece that looks at crowd formations in New York City:

It's really interesting to watch the different kinds of crowds from the vantage points listed in the brochure, so do go there!

This event kindly sponsored by Poets and Writers and the Bronx Museum.

2. Sunday June 22: Zinc Bar Poetry Reading Series, Greenwich Village: http://www.zincbar.com/ . 6.30 pm.

I'll be reading with Michael Scharf. This event kindly sponsored by Poets and Writers.

*Chicago*: Thursday June 26 (location TBA).

This event kindly sponsored by Desilit.org and the Kiran Bavikatte Foundation.

I'll also be in LA (July 1 - 9) and San Francisco (July 9-15), and would be open to doing readings in those cities.
