An Evening with FENCE BOOKS
Poetry publisher Fence Books launches its fall season with three brand new titles by two esteemed poets and one upstart: Jena Osman’s The Network, a tour de force of documentary poetics; Martin Corless-Smith’s English Fragments/A Brief History of the Soul, the final volume in a trilogy of "alternate selves and alternate literary histories"; and Nick Demske (title eponymous), whose language, in the words of Joyelle McSweeney, “(H)as ecstatic prison sex in these narrow cells, de-synchs and hooks up in detrimental sequences which will make the baby sick.” These three hot new books will explode onto the stage, in dramatic interpretation, sprechgesang (german for spoken-song), interpretive dance.
Literature programs at The Kitchen are made possible with generous support from the Axe-Houghton Foundation and with public funds from The National Endowment for the Arts, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency.
