more details » Poetry: Kevin Killian, Randall Mann, and Angelo Nikolopolous at Alley Cat Books Join us for a triple bill: Kevin Killian, Randall Mann, and Angelo Nikolopolous reading from their latest books of poetry. The winner of the first Wonder Prize, Kevin Killian’s Tweaky Village is a book of poems from a dreamy Oz of delirium and nostalgia, memory and desire. Killian pays homage to the Iraq War dead, George Kuchar, old Hollywood, Kylie Minogue, friends, lovers, and almost lovers: “Five years in / to a war that never ends, / I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies.” Voices from the past—Tim Dlugos, David Bowie, Abraham Lincoln—fade in and out like overheard conversation, half-remembered a dozen years later. Randall Mann’s third collection Straight Razor showcases the debaucheries and traumas of growing up amid San Francisco’s gay scene. These self-possessed new poems combine the regal and raw, with Mann’s renowned ear for poetic form matched by his unflinching eye for longing, alienation, and vice. Angelo Nikolopolous teaches at Rutgers and lives in New York. Of his first book, Edmund White writes, “These supple poems are at once frank and mysterious, and they explore desire in a way that feels modern and intelligent. An audacious debut, Obscenely Yours is devilishly candid and definitely scandalous.” Alley Cat Books, 3036 24th St, SF CA When Sat Mar 15, 2014 7pm – 8pm Pacific Time Calendar Queer Things Who • Larry-bob Roberts - creator
