WHAT:
It is true and not real and real and not true. Samantha Giles, Brandon Brown, and Lauren Shufran very or extremely contemplate “vérité” in this eighth installment of the Canessa Gallery Reading Series.
Samantha Giles recently received her MFA from Mills College where she was managing editor of the literary journal 580 Split. Her work has appeared at/in Deep Oakland, Vert, Work, The Press Gang, Shampoo, and Cricket Online Review.
Brandon Brown is a poet and translator from Kansas City, Missouri. Taxt Press published his chapbook Camels! (2008) and Mitzvah Press is publishing his chapbook Wondrous Things I Have Seen in 2009. He co-curates the (New) Reading Series at 21 Grand with Alli Warren.
Lauren Shufran has just rehydrated in order to write this bio. In her more regularly hydrated states, she is reading up on waste theory and working on an essay on gender and olfaction, as well as chasing a perpetual dream of knowing anything about the Arabic language. She received both her M.A. and her M.F.A. from San Francisco State University, where she practiced grammatical dismantling for four years, and now spends her evenings teaching high school students proper syntax. She’s trying to view this not as an ironic turn of events, but rather a digression back into structure.
