Bring your own poems--we'll start the night with an open reading.
Says my beloved editor, Bryan Borland:" For the Comfort of Automated Phrases is a bottle of wine on a
blanket in the park. It’s a night on the couch with your girlfriend, your boyfriend… or both of them. It’s
making soup for a friend with a sick child. It’s the beautiful unpretentious. At its heart, this is a book of love poems written starry-eyed to board games and geography, to pop culture and pop music, to nephews and cats and cities and singers. Cassady’s full-length debut is the poetic equivalent of a mix tape – one you’ll keep rewinding and replaying – one that could easily be the soundtrack to your life."
No admission cost for the event, but you can get a book (and probably a hug) for 15$.
