Unveiling the Cosmonauts

Hey all,

I'm sure your hearts are all breaking because I'm not going to be writing something incendiary today. I know, you're disappointed; but, don't worry - I'll be back next week to give you an intellectual kick in the ass.

Anyways, I got off the phone with friend and poet William Winfield Wright earlier today, and he informed me that he'll be making an appearance in Southern California on the 25th of Feb. We're going to be hosting a reading, but not in the fashion of our previous readings. This time, William will be the sole reader, offering selections from his newest chapbook, Cosmonauts, which is forthcoming from our chapbook company, Wormwood; furthermore, he'll be giving us a sneak peek at his chapbook, forthcoming in August, Bird Feet. To put a cherry on top, he'll be reading other works from other magazines as well as some unpublished work. Following the reading will be a Q&A for anyone who wishes to learn more about this amazing poet.

Cosmonauts will be released electronically within the month and the printed editions will be made available sometime during the beginning of February (as will the printed copies of AFL Issue II!)

Details concerning the venue have not been finalized as of yet, but we are working diligently to find one. If you are located in Southern California and would like to attend this fantastic night of poetry, please let me, Jack Foster, know via e-mail - it's sure to be a great night.

Until next time,

JF
