MARSH HAWK PRESS' FALL 2010 BOOK LAUNCH!
You are cordially invited to our Fall 2010 Book Launch, Reading and Party!
Refreshments in our usual abundant, over-the-top style
Celebrating New Titles By Norman Finkelstein and Daniel Morris.
Thursday, October 14, 2010
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Ceres Gallery, 547 West 27th St.
Suite 201, New York, NY 10001
Praise for Inside the Ghost Factory by Norman Finkelstein
Inside the Ghost Factory finds Norman Finkelstein returning to his pre-Track fascination with the Coleridgean fancy, first delineated in Restless Messengers. Here, however, Samuel Coleridge meets William Gibson and the result is a retro Blakean myth for the age of Text and Tweet. These transmissions from "elsewhere," manufactured on the assembly lines of "Ghosts, Incorporated. Poetry, Incorporated" (Limited, I might add), are gleefully dissected by Finkelstein as so much "clap-trap." Still, there's no correcting the blur of occultation and occlusion for the poet who believes "Books were made for secrets they cannot/keep: this is what it means to be/read."-Tyrone Williams
Praise for If Not for the Courage by Daniel Morris
Everyday life in the household and memory of Daniel Morris's suburban Jewish-professorpoet and father of toddlers has rarely been rendered with the energy, good humor, and luminous detail we meet in Daniel Morris's If not for the Courage. These poems are at once hilarious and heart-breaking; they take us straight to the scene of the crime, allowing us to witness the most absurd and agonizingly funny moments of daily routine against the backdrop of unrelieved media blitz. The courage of Morris's title is evident throughout. -Marjorie Perloff

Burt Kimmelman and Philip Lopate Reading
You are invited to
P R O S E P R O S
Thursday, October 7
6:30 to 7:45 p.m. [starts & ends on time!]
At the Sidewalk Café
94 Avenue A at 6th Street, NYC 212-473-7373
F to Second Avenue (exit at First Avenue)
WHAT: Prose Pros presents prose readings – stories, essays, critique, and in-between forms by master writers. The programs pair two prose practitioners linked by agreement or opposition, by topic similarities or discordances. Meet writers new to you. See writers you know.
WHERE: The comfortable back room of the Lower East Side’s Sidewalk Café (home of anti-folk music). All readings are on Thursdays at 6:30 (sharp), usually the first Thursday of the month. Food and drink are available; we ask for contributions to pay the readers.
READING ON OCTOBER 7: Philip Lopate and Burt Kimmelman
Two writers born in Brooklyn just four years apart focus on the city they both love. Phillip Lopate, known for his delicious skewering of the chattering classes, for celebrations of the city then and now, and for powerful critiques of the wallowing-in-my-addiction memoir, has most recently published Notes on Sontag, and, in 2008, Two Marriages, a pair of novellas.
Burt Kimmelman will read from a memoir that reanimates the Park Slope neighborhood of Fifth Avenue when he was a teen, when this now gentrified neighborhood of restaurants and boutiques resembled Hubert Selby’s Red Hook. Kimmelman’s most recent book is a collection of poems, As If Free.
