An Evening with Hanging Loose Press
With poets Jeni Olin, Sharon Mesmer, and Erica Miriam Fabri, artist Ashleigh Caffey, and musician Robin Andrew
Hosted by Angel Nafis
Hanging Loose Press is one of the oldest independent publishers in Brooklyn, founded in 1966 (as a literary magazine composed of mimeographed pages in an envelope). The press has published the first books by such poetry luminaries as Sherman Alexie, Kimiko Hahn, and... D. Nurkse, as well as many powerful voices of the Brooklyn poetry world, and has been influential in bringing the work of acclaimed performance poets to the page. Tonight at Greenlight several of those local performers take the stage.
Jeni Olin is the author of Blue Collar Holiday and Hold Tight: The Truck Darling Poems.
Sharon Mesmer is the author of The Virgin Formica, In Ordinary Time and The Empty Quarter.
Erica Miriam Fabri is the author of Dialect of a Skirt. Ashleigh Caffey will present paintings inspired by poems in Dialect of a Skirt
Musician Robin Andre will perform solo and with Erica Miriam Fabri.
And there’s no telling what other dynamic performers will take the stage at this celebration of Brooklyn’s independent and poetic spirit, hosted by Greenlight’s own resident spoken word poet Angel Nafis!
