As you may know, I'm a co-founder, currently serving as President, of the
Interstitial Arts Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to the support, and promotion of interstitial art: literature, music, visual and performance art found in between categories and genres - art that crosses borders.
We have just published our second anthology of original writing,
Interfictions 2, edited by Delia Sherman (
deliasherman) & Christopher Barzak, and we're celebrating with a
multi-city chain of readings, signings, and musical collaborations.
TOMORROW (Friday) night we kick off the East Coast jam! I hope you can join me there:
THIS Friday, November 6 at 7:00 p.m.
Housing Works Bookstore Cafe126 Crosby St
Readings by Interfictions & Interfictions 2 authors Jeffrey Ford, K. Tempest Bradford, Carlos Hernandez, Alaya Dawn Johnson, Veronica Schanoes, and Genevieve Valentine, backed up by local musicians Brian Wecht, Jeremy Goddard, John Pinamonti, Nate Landau, Charlie Shaw, conducted by
Brian Francis Slattery, with MC Ellen Kushner & co-editor Delia Sherman.
This is Brian's baby: He enthralled KGB audience a few months back with a a words/music mix, and I can't wait to see what he does with the potent combo of all those Interfictions writers + his band.
Here's a sample of some of Brian & band's past improv readings. It really is art without borders.
Not in NYC? No fretting: Brian & a bunch of writers & musician pals are doing another show in
Boston next Friday, Nov. 13th at Lily Pad in Cambridge!
