About this series:
With this series, curators Christen Clifford and Tom Cole present a wide cultural and stylistic range of work, pairing boundary breaking established writers with emerging hotshots to bring audiences a cross-section of cross genre writers distinguished by their highly individual use of language. The series curators aim to involve a diverse audience in the flux of new poetic forms.

Such writers as Ruth Danon, Catherine Imbriglio, Craig Watson, Keith and Rosmarie Waldrop, Jude Laure Denis, David Hopkins, Jay Key, Greg Lichtenberg, Angela Pneuman, April Krassner, Jorge Ignacio Cortiñas, Edward Carey, Elizabeth McCracken, Jason Lucero, Macgregor Card, Lara Stapleton, Jan Clausen, Anne Carson, and Anthony Tognazzini have read their new works in this series. Past curators have included Ron Villanueva, Sherry Mason and Paul Foster Johnson, and Charlotte Meehan & Sarah Gambito.
