Literary Event of the Year… so far

Book Soup and Kerosene Bomb press presents.

The Literary Event of the Decade

On Thursday Jan 19th at 7pm,
John Tottenham and Anthony Ausgang
will appear at Book Soup.
8818 West Sunset Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA 90069
(310) 659-3110

Tottenham will finally be putting the Inertia Variations to rest,
giving the last-ever reading from his lauded collection
of 8-line poems on the subject of work-avoidance,
indolence and failure.

Ausgang will be bringing The Sleep of Puss Titter to life –
the hallucinatory ravings of a hyper-articulate madman –
with a rare public airing of his inimitable spam novel.

This promises to be a night that will be spoken of for years,
featuring two innovators and orators of the first water.
Don’t let the remote (for some) location, inconvenient hour
and lack of parking come between you and this
night of high-spirited seriousness.

Doesn’t sound very tempting, does it?

But if you feel like dragging your ass across town at 7pm on a Tuesday evening to watch five middle-aged literary hacks hold forth, this might be what you’ve been waiting for.

Don’t feel obliged to attend this event

Presenting the cream of local poetry. I will also be giving a short and highly predictable reading.

It’s a lot to ask of even the most dedicated poetry lover: to drag their ass across town on a Tuesday evening.

But: if you’re in the neighborhood or the mood…

Tuesday night, June 14th: The Standard Hotel at 8300 Sunset Blvd.

Free wine will be served between 7pm and 8pm.  Readings begin at 8pm.
