In Portland, Oregon & Seattle, Washington
*_Poets Invade the Blue Monk._*
Portland, Oregon
Columbus Ohio’s John M Bennett and Seattle’s Willie Smith, aided by locals Curtis Whitecarroll and Leuth Bartells, will provide a wide-ranging and energetic evening of poetry, prose and sound poetry Sunday, October 12th at the Blue Monk (3341 SE Belmont) beginning at 7pm..
John M Bennett has been active in a variety of poetic roles for 3 decadesas writer and creator (including visual and sound poems, and 200 published books), as publisher of Lost and Found Times and Luna Bisonte Prods, as a collaborator (including books with Ivan Arguelles and Jim Leftwich), and a performer. John works in the rare book collection of the Ohio State University library. (More information at johnmbennett.net.)
Willie Smith is an iconoclastic writer and poet who delivers his work with nerve-rending humor and intensity. He has published 1 novel (Oedipus Cadet), 5 collections of short prose and 3 collections of poetry. When he works he denies medical benefits to welfare clients in Seattle.
Curtis Whitecarroll just moved to Seattle but still shows up regularly in Portland. A denizen of open mics, he will soon be having a book published by Black Sparrow, who he is advising on an anthology of Northwest poetry
Leuth Bartells is a poet, singer, actress, dancer and massage therapist.
The evening will also feature noted visual poet and architect Scott Helmes, flying in from St Paul to join the Be Blank Consort, a sound poetry chorus performing work by Bennett, Sheila Murphy and others.
