The City Real & Imagined Book Release Party
CAConrad & Frank Sherlock w/ Zoe Strauss
Wednesday February 3 @ 8pm
ICA (Institute of Contemporary Art)

Come out to celebrate the release of the long-awaited collaboration by CAConrad and me- The City Real Imagined. Hear us read from the book, with a special slide presentation from Zoe Strauss.

Wander with CAConrad & me through this psychogeographical work/play. Experience peoples' histories and magical traditions rooted in the first capital of the american possible- the city of Philadelphia. Visit landmarks that remain standing, revisit citizens that live on in memory, and participate in the future mappings of your city yet to be realized- the city real & imagined.

In ELECTIVE AFFINITIES, In Great Company

I'm happy to be included in the new online cooperative anthology of U.S. contemporary poets- Elective Affinities edited by Carlos Soto Roman. The inclusion process is viral and ongoing, and I like that idea. There are also Elective Affinities anthologies for Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Italy, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Spain, Uruguay and Venezuela. Check out the links on the right side of the site.
