Portland event not to miss!



...In addition to First Wednesdays, Oregon Literary Review now co-hosts Third Tuesdays, a series of readings and performances held at Krakow Koffeehouse and Brew Pub, 3990 N. Interstate (at N. Shaver, next to The Alibi and a few blocks west of the N. Mississippi hip-zone), 7-8:30pm. (The Alibi, a 50s style bar/restaurant, is something of a Portland institution. The office of Oregon Business Magazine was just down the road when I worked there almost 30 years ago. I knew the bar at The Alibi well.)

December 16th is a special event reading works of Lawrence Ferlinghetti in honor of the 50th anniversary of his A Coney Island of the Mind. Performers are Aaron Kier, Ruth Oliver, Mindie Kniss, and Helen Gerhardt.

Sample of titles to be read:
Constantly Risking Absurdity
The Pennycandystore Beyond The El
Christ Climbed Down
Don't let that horse eat that violin
Oracle at Delphi
I Am Waiting
The World Is a Beautiful Place
Wild Dreams of a New Beginning
TENTATIVE DESCRIPTION OF A DINNER GIVEN TO PROMOTE THE IMPEACHMENT OF PRESIDENT EISENHOWER
