May 16/Laurel DeCou/Stan Apps/Bill Luoma


WHAT:
17908eihe oo_*@^Dh;Y**(!@^@*(^#)087j. Laurel DeCou, Stan Apps, and Bill Luoma answer all the “inarticulate” what what what and why why why in this eleventh installment of the Canessa Gallery Reading Series.

Laurel DeCou thinks Oakland’s tight which is why she lives there. Her poetry has been published in the online journals (thus saving lots of paper) Coconut, There, and Cricket Online Review. Her work is forthcoming in Tea Party magazine as well. The time she spent working at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center taught her just what it means to be physically inarticulate or speechless.

Stan Apps is reasonably good at writing poems, essays and emails, and dabbles in genres like plays and memoir. He lives in Los Angeles or Tampa. Books include: God's Livestock Policy (Les Figues, 2008), Handbook of Poetic Language (eohippus labs, 2008), Grover Fuel (Scantily Clad e-book, 2009) and Info Ration (Make Now, 2007). Stan thinks San Francisco is nice, mostly because of the people. He often posts reviews, drafts of essays and loose thoughts on his blog at nonprovocativeurl.blogspot.com.

Bill Luoma is the author of My Trip to New York City and Western Love. He is a member of the subpress collective.
