Paul Vangelisti, the head of the Otis MFA:Writing program is heading back to the bay area for what the Berkeley Daily Planet cites as "...a rare East Bay reading..." in conjunction with writing Debra Di Blasi. He will be reading from his new book- Days Shadows Pass (Green Integer 129, Los Angeles). Describing Paul's work- "The influence of the Italian Neo-Avantgarde on Paul’s poetry gives it a different sound, more musical than we’re used to."
The event will be held on Monday, March 11 at Moe's Books and starts at 7:30.
The article includes the following excerpt:
Sound of hard freight before dawn
a few lights and chill in the arroyo,
considering the lie of the strangers
and later on the flock of pigeons
at noon soaring and tumbling
silver then white then sunlight
against the weight of air.
—Paul Vangelisti
