Since, due to a series of bizarre events, I seem to be the announcer for a large proportion of New York City events despite not living there, here's another. The Saturn Series is one of the longest-running and more metrical-friendly open readings in New York City.
If I were in town, it would be a real toss-up between this and Nemo's "Active Ingredients" reading on the same night. I'd probably have to flip a coin.
At any rate, the announcement:
Terese Coe will read at the Saturn Series at The Nightingale, 213 Second Avenue (at the corner of E. 13 St.) on Monday, October 23 at 7 pm. The hosts are David Elsasser and Su Polo, and there is a two-drink minimum and a $3 contribution. Open reading for both free verse and metrical poems.
Terese's poems, translations, and book reviews have appeared (or will soon appear) in Poetry, Threepenny Review, Orbis (UK), Nimrod, 32 Poems, Smartish Pace, Agenda (UK), Poetry Nottingham (UK), Measure, Blue Unicorn, The Evansville Review,The Formalist, The Interlude Poetry Anthology (UK), Candelabrum (UK), and Leviathan Quarterly (UK), among others, and her first collection of poems, The Everyday Uncommon, won a Word Press publication prize and was published in February 2005. A forthcoming anthology of centos edited by Theresa Welford will include two of her centos, one of lines by Shakespeare and one of lines by William Butler Yeats.
Terese was awarded a 2006 residence at Vermont Studio Center and was a finalist in the 2004 Willis Barnstone Translation Prize, a semifinalist in the 2004-5 Nimrod/Hardman Prize, a finalist in a 2005 Orbis Readers' Poll, and has received two Pushcart nominations and two grants from Giorno Poetry Systems.
