POETS READING FROM BUNNIES UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF HAIR EXTENSIONS

Dana Ward is the author of Typing 'Wild Speech' from Summer BF Press, as well as several other short books that have come out over the past few years. He lives in Cincinnati where he edits books and hosts readings under the Cy Press banner, and works as an advocate for adult literacy at the Over the Rhine Learning Center.

Here is a gif I made of Dana morphing into a different Dana, possibly his "spirit dana."

These are poems by Dana in Shampoo.

Buy his chapbook with famous photo of Ian Curtis on the cover here.

Dana reading at many venues, from many texts (PennSound).

Stephanie Young lives and works in Oakland, California. She's written some books of poetry, of which Picture Palace is the most recently published. Editorial projects include Bay Poetics, Deep Oakland, and the forthcoming A Megaphone, which collects responses about feminism, writing and working conditions from writers around the globe, along with essays and enactments she and Spahr performed together between 2005-07.

Here is the interactive website for the Deep Oakland project that Stephanie co-edits. (It is pretty fucking intense, baffling, so generous, beautiful, fun, my adjectives don't mean anything, just look at it, every-city-needs-Stephanie-Young-and-her-co-editors-is-she-for-hire-for-your-town-?).


Buy Bay Poetics from Faux Press.

"Older poems" by Stephanie, also in Shampoo.

Stephanie and Dana are friends, OMG they have so much in common, here is Stephanie reading at many venues, from many texts (PennSound).
