Market Day Poetry Series

It’s not every day ultra is going to suggest you go to a poetry reading, but the parties involved in this one make it easy to recommend. Head up to the Market Day Poetry series Saturday, July 25 at 12 noon at St Johns Booksellers (8622 N Lombard). Portland poet, David Abel of Spare Room hosts.

From the press release:

Sam Lohmann is the publisher of /Peaches & Bats/ (that’s the cover of no. 4, above), which moves from annual to semiannual frequency with the forthcoming issue. He is also the copublisher of the monthly email newsletter /What We Are Learning/. He is the author of several chapbooks; /Onlooking/ is forthcoming this summer from airfoil.
