About this Event
In a Valentine's prelude, local writers/ artists/ musicians offer readings and songs of Love and Anti-Love. Featuring Noh Bailey, Norman Douglas, Emily Rechnitz, and slink g moss!
Noh Bailey is a multi-disciplinary artist who wields form and style as weapons against the absurdity of reality. As a trans woman, her work embodies transformation- not just as a theme, but as a method- building and dismantling identity with sardonic humor and wit, cutting straight to the heart of her subject matter.
Norman Douglas writes poems on the street and says he’s not a poet. He uses human languages to say that language fails to create the true realm of the unspeakable. He knows we’re not even people and says the planet would still be perfectly invaluable without nominally sentient animals who are so scared of love that they don’t even need to validate while they value everything else they ain’t got. Mostly he treks lots of stories just like folks you know. Plus, he wants to not want.
Emily Rechnitz has published her poems in various journals and magazines including The Kansas Quarterly, Mudfish, Poet Lore, The New Yorker. She worked as an editorial assistant’s assistant at Alfred Knopf publishing, held various temp jobs in publishing (Viking, Scholastic, HarperCollins, Family Circle magazine), performed odd jobs, including reading, to a famous writer who is blind (Ved Mehta), and worked as an apprentice floral arranger at an Upper East Side flower shop. She wrote feature articles for The Berkshire Record and The Advocate, acted in plays in the Berkshires at Riggs Theater 37 (director, Kevin Coleman), and taught Creative Writing at Community Access to the Arts (CATA), where she serves on the Board of CATA since 1999, currently as Co-Vice President.
slink g moss began recording spooky rockabilly as Slink Moss Explosion in 2004. Those recordings were later released by HiStyle Records as “Floating Ghost Hotel.” Moss has compiled several booklets of poems including “Microscopic Frog” and “Quantum Parsley Revisited.” He plays in several groups such as Weeeds and Unfinish’d Bizness and more.
