Liliana (Lily) Almendarez (MFA alum) Reading in New York Foundation for the Arts Boot Camp Arts Festival

In Abundance: Poetry Reading Featuring Liliana Almendarez and Wanda Phipps
November 5, 2010 at 6-7pm
The Bowery Poetry Club ( http://www.bowerypoetry.com/#Event/95992 )
308 Bowery
New York, NY 10012
Tickets $5 at the door.

Liliana will be reading from her book of poetry, A Scorched Page. She will read from some of her new work as well. Her poems are inspired by nature and every day life. From folks waiting for a train to the birds that fly past her backyard, to the memories that sneak up on a quiet afternoon, they are all fair game for inspiration.

Wanda will read from her two books: Wake-Up Calls: 66 Morning Poems and Field of Wanting: Poems of Desire as well as the new work, Silent Pictures Recognize the World, written in response to static photographic images which mutate in writing into film noir scenes and dark romances. Stephen B. Antonakos will accompany her on guitar with tonal equivalents to the poems. Her work honors dailiness, the details of the personal, as well as the ecstasy of randomness that brings us all together.
