WHAT:
Never fall in love with the potential/It’s never the utopia it pretends to be. Stephanie Young, Dana Ward and Alli Warren take on “location/exchange” in this 15th installment of the Canessa Gallery Reading Series.
Stephanie Young lives and works in Oakland. Her books of poetry are Picture Palace (in girum imus nocte et consumimur igni, 2008) and Telling the Future Off (Tougher Disguises, 2005). She edited Bay Poetics (Faux Press, 2006) and her most recent editorial project is Deep Oakland (www.deepoakland.org)
Dana Ward is the author of Goodnight Voice (House Press), Roseland (Editions Louis Wain), the Drought (Open 24hrs), among others. A collaborative book with the artist Paul Coors entitled I Want This Forever is being published this fall. With Corina Copp he recently wrote and directed the play "Hot Tub" as part of BoogFest 2009. Recent writing appears in Try!, With + Stand, Shampoo, the Poetry Project Newsletter, and Boog City. He lives in Cincinnati, edits Cy Press, and works as an advocate for adult literacy at the Over-the-Rhine Learning Center.
Alli Warren was born before the turn of the century and remains extant. She is the author of the chapbooks Schema, Yoke, Hounds, Cousins, No Can Do, and with Michael Nicoloff, Bruised Dick.
