Doomsday

Calling Possible Poets of the Probable Apocalypse

Flying Guillotine Press
& the First Annual Doomsday Festival & Symposium

are Asking You to Imagine Demise.




The First Annual Doomsday Festival & Symposium, a festival of revelatory film, destruction literature, Butoh, and intellectual disaster, will take place October 23-25 in New York City. In addition to a host of film screenings, expert discussions, panels, and Butoh performances, Flying Guillotine Press will curate a poetry reading and publish a limited edition anthology of Apocalypse poems.

We invite you to submit apocalypse poems for the anthology!

Please email them to flyingguillotinepress at gmail dot com by October 5th. We want to publish as many as possible, but depending on how many submissions we get we may not. Let us know if they are previously published.

Jackson Heights Poetry Festival in Jackson Heights!

Hello friends. I'm in a hotel room in Syracuse. It is misty outside and this has pushed all the humans in. I don't know where they went. They are not in my hotel room. It feels very weird that I am alone in a hotel room. Illicit in the way suppositories are illicit.



I wanted to invite you to the Jackson Heights Poetry Festival on Saturday.

My press will be there. We'll have fresh copies of Kate Schapira's new chapbook, The Saint's Notebook. I will also take the stage around 10:30am and sing the praises of the Golgi Apparatus.

Here are the details:

Saturday June 20th, 2009 -- 10am - 6:30pm

The playground of
The Garden School
33-16 79th Street
Jackson Heights, NY 11372


You can get there by the E, F, R & V and the 7 Train.
7 Train is closest.
