Reading: Lucia Perillo at the Seattle Public Library, May 12
Here's a good one, this Saturday at 2pm at the Central Library:
Celebrated poet and essayist Lucia Perillo reads from two new books. Published this month are her debut story collection, Happiness is a Chemical in the Brain (W.W. Norton), and a powerful new poetry collection, On the Spectrum of Possible Deaths (Copper Canyon Press). Lucia Perillo's many accolades include a MacArthur Fellowship and the Bobbitt Prize from the Library of Congress. "Though the prevailing tone is one of ironic melancholy, a subtle but engaging sense of hope prevails. Perillo strikes a glorious balance between wryly intelligent prose and emotional force, recalling Alice Munro at her best. This volume's vibrant stories demonstrate the full potential of the short story form when put in the hands of a true artist." – Publishers Weekly on Happiness is a Chemical in the Brain. Free admission. Seattle Public Library is at 1000 Fourth Avenue (between Madison & Spring).

Reading: Dana Gioia at Elliott Bay tomorrow night
Dana Gioia will be reading at Elliott Bay Book Company tomorrow evening (May 5) from his fourth collection of poetry, Pity the Beautiful: Poems, named presumably after this poem: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poem/241814
Gioia taught for a semester at Wesleyan University during my senior year, back in 1992, maybe 1993. I didn't study with him, but I did watch him lecture once to an intro to poetry class on the difference between poetry and prose. Apparently it all comes down to the line break... prose is based on the unit of the sentence, poetry on the unit of the line....I wonder if he still maintains that distinction.
Here Gioia talks about why reading matters: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UacmZTRvNs4&feature=related I wonder if poetry can still matter....or what else matters. Should be an interesting event.
From Elliott Bay's website:
Co-presented with IMAGE: A Journal of Art & Religion. One of this country's most highly regarded poets—and one who has also played a unique role in affecting arts policy in the U.S. as a former chair of the National Endowment for the Arts—Dana Gioia makes this welcome Elliott Bay return this evening, which we are pleased to be co-present with Gregory Wolfe and others for Seattle-based IMAGE: A Journal of Art & Religion. Dana Gioia is here with his fourth collection, Pity the Beautiful (Graywolf Press). "Dana Gioia's poems always reveal his narrative ease and naturalness of diction; he's partly an old-fashioned storyteller and partly a metaphysical poet of reflection and devotion. From his very first book, which was published twenty-five years ago, he's always been considered one of this country's formal masters." – David St. John. "[Gioia] ... makes every collection worth the wait ...Great in riches in remarkably few pages." – Booklist.

Call for submissions: Ginger Piglet
We want your most lively, vivid, voicy shit. We also want your 50 word bios. We really do. It's no trick. Put them in the cover letter.
Ginger Piglet is now accepting submissions for its monthly online edition. Submissions are now on a rolling basis. Wait until you hear from us before submitting again.
Send us your best previously unpublished and brief: flash, miniature, sentence, review, audio, video, essay, prose poem, interview, photo, poem, comic, letter, list (Christmas, grocery and otherwise) or combination thereof.This work can be real or fake. This work can be humorous or serious; love or hate; surreal or realist; connected or disconnected; political or not; dark or light (um, like meat or toast). This work must have voice. Please simultaneously submit. Let us know if your piece is accepted elsewhere.
We would like to bring you fame and notoriety, but we can't. Make us a 50 word or less bio of the most important and interesting words that also includes a link to your tweeter/blog/website. Unless you don't do that. If you don't do that, we suggest you start, immediately.
Someday we hope to pay, even if a small amount, to our contributors, but we can't do that either. We will publish once online and then archive your piece, maybe forever (this is negotiable). Mention us if your work should be published elsewhere.
We are also looking for Column Proposals: What would you like your column to be about? This can be of your own design and your columns from month to month can flit around the topic (ie, they don't have to be directly related, but they need to have some vague focus). The column doesn't have to be of literary nature, but GP is of course a literary magazine. I can give you an idea of GP's general interests in life, if you like, but primarily we're looking for strong, energetic, voiced writing with an interesting view on things (whatever those things are). Shoot me some ideas.
Send in the cover letter:
A potential title.
A syllabus of potential column ideas.
As attachment:
Two writing samples.
We want to know what's going on in your head and an idea of where you're headed.
