On Friday February 18th at 8pm, Machine will be hosting a reading by Joshua Beckman, Anthony McCann and Matthew Zapruder. The reading will be preceded by a musical performance featuring the New Jersey folk trio Simple Souvenir, and followed by casual socializing until the beer runs out. Please bring your own beer.
In honor of the vastness and majesty of this occasion, Machine Project Press is publishing “Feb 18th, 2005”, a tasty, snack sized collection of works by the authors. Hand bound and printed in a limited edition of 100, signed and numbered copies will be available at the reading for $9. Designed by Kimberly Varella of Varella Design Studio, this is the second publication produced by the Machine Project Press.
Joshua Beckman is a poetry superstar. We were just reading his book to our girlfriend and she really liked it a lot. An example of Joshua Beckman’s writing.
Anthony McCann is a poetry superstar and the poet laureate of Machine Project. All who were present for his reading last year described the experience as “rad”. Examples of Anthony McCann’s writing.
Matthew Zapruder is a poetry superstar and currently teaching writing at Cal Arts. We admire his work very much and feel certain you will as well.. We suggest that you take a moment now and read Mr Zapruder’s poem Canada.
