SUMMARY:THE SPECULATIVE ABYSS: A spec-fic reading with Elwin Cotman & Alex Smith
DESCRIPTION:ELWIN COTMAN‘s work evokes the strangeness simmering underneath the floorboards of New Orleans speakeasys; the sort of melancholy soaked into the floorboards of a Carolina porch in misty May. Weaving through the murkier\, funnier parts of American dreams\, stopping right at the horizon of nightmare and flat-out hilarious\, Cotman delivers a well needed shock to both the orthodoxy of African-American letters and to staid genre fiction at large. To say that A-Space and Laser Life are stoked beyond all hell for the opportunity to read with the brother is quite an understatement. We are prepared for the psycho-subconscious journey of this budding master mythmaker; gear up and join us. \nhttp://www.lookmanoagent.blogspot.com/ \nALEX SMITH is shedding his Laser Life sci-fi cocoon for an evening of lucidity. Or is he? Sure\, bring your wine and cheese for this auspicious gala\, served on your finest crystal; they won’t be broken and discarded\, rent to shards and used as weapons against the establishment. Trust us\, it’s not that kind of party. Reading from his long-awaited poetry chapbook (snicker) “Gang Stalk Oprah”\, Smith promises a serene\, intellectually tantalizing experience. Riiiighht. \nhttp://theafterv3rse.tumblr.com/
