Ivy Alvarez Reading and a New "Tinyside"

If you find yourself in Dublin on June 17, be sure to stop by The Original Print Gallery at 4 Temple Bar from 7-10pm for "A Painted Fillí: An Evening of Music and Spoken Word" -- among the artists performing their work will be our own Ivy Alvarez, who'll read from Mortal.

Also, Big Game Books has recently released a "tinyside" (which Ivy tells me is "like a cross between a broadside and a chapbook, only smaller") by Ivy titled One Dozen Poison Hay(na)ku -- that's the good news. The bad news is that it's already sold out! Still, swing by Big Game's site to admire what look to be really cool little books.

Ivy Alvarez Reviewed in Galatea Resurrects #6

Not one, but two reveiws for Mortal appear in a recent issue of Galatea Resurects.

Ernesto Priego says, "The poems in Mortal grow in the reader like teeth, they break the skin, grow inwards before finally seeking an exit out of the body, through the mouth, to become expression, to grind and bite in survival and in love, in sex and in everything which is pleasurable. To read Priego's entire review, click here.

Jeannine Hall Gailey says, "Alongside poems of mothers giving birth, a daughter struggling to come to terms with her mother’s breast cancer, and the fragile lives of flowers and insects, these mythological poems evoke a mournful and timeless struggle with mortality."

Flim Forum Press is a new press interested in poetry
that postulates then questions the idea of the poem
as experiment, poetry that builds and develops (forms)
original logics/grammars, poetry that dissolves to
redefine the lines between sense and nonsense, process
and product, sight, sound, and semantic.

Oh One Arrow, the first Flim anthology, includes
work by: Brandon Shimoda, Thom Donovan, Jonathan Minton,
Adam Golaski, Lori Anderson Moseman, Katie Kemple, Christopher
Fritton, Eric Gelsinger, John Cotter, Jacqueline Lyons, Jeff Paris,
Michael Ives, Jaime Corbacho, Matthew Klane, Pierre Joris, and Aaron
Lowinger. Cover art by Luke Daly.

Flim Forum Press is currently accepting submissions
for a second anthology.
