Although I've seen each of the readers at least twice before, I'll still
drive across town to catch this event--right after viewing films directed
by Tony Richardson & Lindsay Anderson at the National Gallery of Art.
Will "powerhouse" be defined?

"Sunday, February 3, 7:00 pm
Lisa Jarnot and Eileen Myles
@ Bridge Street Books
Please join us for a powerhouse reading at Bridge Street Books on Sunday
Feb 3rd, 7 PM.
Lisa Jarnot is the author of three full-length collections of poetry: SOME
OTHER KIND OF MISSION, RING OF FIRE and BLACK DOG SONGS. Her biography of
the San Francisco poet Robert Duncan is forthcoming from University of
California Press and she recently completed a novel called PROMISE X. She
teaches at Naropa University's Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics,
and at Brooklyn College in New York City.
Eileen Myles is probably America's best-known unofficial poet. Her latest
book is SORRY, TREE in which she describes “some nature” as well as the
transmigration of souls from the east coast to the west. Bust Magazine
calls Myles "the rock star of modern poetry" and Holland Cotter in The New
York Times describes her as "a cult figure to a generation of post-punk
females forming their own literary avant garde. Her many books include NOT
ME, COOL FOR YOU, SKIES, ON MY WAY, and CHELSEA GIRLS.
Location: Bridge Street Books is located 5 blocks from Foggy Bottom Metro,
next to Four Seasons in Georgetown at the end of M street."
