Coe & Childers at CSM 3/8
 

Carmine Street Metrics presents
a reading and launch (with open mic)
hosted by Anton Yakovlev

Sunday, March 8 from 3 - 5 pm
at Otto's Shrunken Head Tiki Bar
at 538 E. 14 Street (between A & B), NYC

Terese Coe's poems and translations have appeared in The Threepenny Review, Poetry, New American Writing, Ploughshares, Alaska Quarterly Review, The Cincinnati Review, The Huffington Post, Poetry Review, the TLS, Agenda, New Walk Magazine, Orbis, The Stinging Fly, and many other publications. Anthologies like Irresistible Sonnets and Grace Notes also include her poems, and one poem, "More" was heli-dropped across London in the 2012 London Olympics Rain of Poems. She is the co-founder of Carmine St. Metrics. This reading marks the launch of her new book "Shot Silk."

Christopher Childers taught Latin and Greek for nine years at St. Andrew’s School in Delaware (where the Dead Poets’ Society was filmed!) before leaving in 2014 to pursue an MFA in Poetry at Johns Hopkins University. He has poems, essays, and translations published or forthcoming from Agni, PN Review, Parnassus, Literary Imagination, and elsewhere, and has been a finalist for the Ruth Lilly Fellowship from Poetry magazine. He is currently at work on a translation, under contract with Penguin Classics, of Greek and Latin Lyric Poetry from Archilochus to Martial.

I am really sorry not to be able to attend this reading. Three of my favorites, Terese, Chris and Anton.... Best wishes for a lively reading and an appreciative audience.

Another missed chance to meet Terese! (Met the inestimable Chris at West Chester.)

It sounds great. Too bad it's so far from me.

Good luck all!

Wendy, thanks for the notice!

Cathy and Charlotte, I too wish you could be there! Charlotte, one day we will be on the same coast at the same time...I hope!

Also, Wendy Sloan has graciously agreed to provide an introduction, and there will be an Open Mic, as always with CSM.

bump time!

I just received Terese's new collection, Shot Silk. Such beautiful poems and translations! I urge everyone who can to attend the reading and to buy her book.

Thanks, Cathy.

I've read the book, too, and ... it's very good. I'm honored that Terese has asked me to introduce her at the reading.

Come one, come all, to Otto's tomorrow for two truly terrific poets, and translators, Terese & Chris.

Just saw these messages~~ thank you so much, Cathy and Wendy! I'm delighted you have enjoyed them...you're very kind.

Without a doubt one of the best CSMs ever, from the first open mic reader to the last. Of course, both features were tremendous. And we were way over the fire code attendance-wise.

My heart breaks when I think of people who weren't there.
