Astronomic Episode of the Spoken Word Paris saga. Here’s a photo-report by Sabine Dundure, including regulars and special guests, like for example David Gaffney (Click for more micro fiction) and Sarah-Clare Conlon, also known as Les Malheureux. For the full album go on our facebook page. And then forget about it, it’s Monday already. Let’s hit the black cat… ehm… Au Chat Noir.

I’m thrilled to announce the Paris launch of my poetry book “Hole in My Side: Redemption of the Moon-Hooker” published by Corrupt Press! Please come for a very special evening on Wed Nov 19 at 19:30 to Berkeley Books of Paris, 8 rue Casimire-Delavigne, 75006 Paris, to witness the unveiling and pick up a copy! The book features 84 of my most provocative poems plus several of my illustrations. The evening will showcase readings from four poets published by Corrupt Press: Pansy Maurer-Alvarez, Kate Noakes, Rufo Quintavalle and myself. I hope you will join the fun and I can’t wait for you all to finally see the book – it’s been a long time coming! After the launch the book will be available for order at Corrupt Press but it’s better to grab a copy now while supplies last 😀
See you at the launch!
