Marisa Crawford Is a May (19) Flower But Not a Four-Faced Liar

From the Facebook event page:

THE READING AT CHRYSTIE STREET PRESENTS MAY FLOWERS Jim Cory & Marisa Crawford burst forth with many-petaled poetry, waft the delectable scents of the heartbreak of humor, the humor of heartbreak, & bespeak the splendid fecundity of verse. Oh please just come hear two of my favorite poets read. They are amazing & wonderful & so sweet, too. Jim Cory is a PA Arts Council and Yaddo fellow whose poems have recently appeared, or are about to, in Apiary, Burp, Fell Swoop, Fuck!, Court Green, 5 AM, Lungfull!, Skidrow Penthouse and unarmed journal. Favorite words include: pestiferous, palaver, pulchritude, and piece-of-ass. No Brainer Variations, a thoroughly obnoxious chapbook, is the winner of Rain Mountain Press’ 2010 Ron Wardell Prize and will be published by those good people shortly. He lives in Philadelphia and can be reached at coryjim at earthlink dot net. Marisa Crawford is the author of The Haunted House from the feminist poetry press Switchback Books. Her poems have recently appeared in La Fovea and Columbia Poetry Review, and are forthcoming in Black Clock and Bone Bouquet. Marisa is an editor of Small Desk Press and a writing mentor with Girls Write Now. She lives in Brooklyn. Find her work online at marisacrawfordforever.com.
