WHAT:
If you’re going abroad I can’t help you. If you’re crossing the street I might be there. David Buuck, Kevin Killian, and Dana Teen Lomax take on “autobiography” in this 16th installment of the Canessa Gallery Reading Series.
David Buuck is the author of *The Shunt* (Palm Press), and several multi-genre booklets. He is the founder of BARGE, the Bay Area Research Group in Enviro-aesthetics. He lives in Oakland, where he is a teacher and freelance editor.
Kevin Killian, US poet, novelist, critic and playwright, has written a book of poetry, Argento Series (2001), two novels, Shy (1989) and Arctic Summer (1997), a book of memoirs, Bedrooms Have Windows (1989), and a book of stories, Little Men (1996), that won the PEN Oakland award for fiction. A second collection, I Cry Like a Baby, was published in 2001. With Lew Ellingham, Killian has written often on the life and work of the American poet Jack Spicer, and co-edited Spicer’s posthumous books The Train of Thought and The Tower of Babel; Killian and Peter Gizzi just released a new edition of Spicer’s collected poetry for Wesleyan University Press. Killian's work has been widely anthologized and has appeared in, among others, Best American Poetry 1988 (ed. John Ashbery), and Discontents (ed. Dennis Cooper). His newest books are a book of selected Amazon reviews, Action Kylie, and Impossible Princess (City Lights Books).
