Three NYFA Artist as Entrepreneur Boot Camp graduates present their work: Documentarian and multimedia artist Ryan Murdock presents “Project: Butte, America,” a multimedia essay about Butte’s mining past and its questionable legacy. Playing the role of a subjective tour guide, Murdock narrates this combination folk-history-and-cautionary tale to live music.

Poets Liliana Almendarez and Wanda Phipps read from their work. Almendarez offers both new poems and pieces from her book, A Scorched Page (lulu.com); Phipps reads from Wake-Up Calls: 66 Morning Poems (Soft Skull Press), Field of Wanting: Poems of Desire (BlazeVOX[books]) and Silent Picture Recognize the World, a collection-in-process. Stephen B. Antonakos, a frequent collaborator, accompanies her with original compositions performed on the guitar.

Hey folks,
Friday’s reading at Bowery Poetry Club had a sweet turn out. Thank you to all who attended. I told my sister Vick afterwards, there is always a moment during a reading when I can hear people intently listening to my words. I love the reciprocal nature of a reading where I get immediate “feedback” after sharing my work. It’s amazing to put this work out to a new audience.

Next reading is at Launchpad in Brooklyn, on Saturday at 7 pm.

Best,

Lily~
