BACK ROOM LIVE ! THIS SATURDAY NIGHT

Back Room Live ! This Saturday Night ! June 28th 2008 ! Sara Mumolo ! Jenny Drai ! Gillian Hamel ! Craig Santos ! Mc Nally's Irish Pub 7pm

Craig Santos Perez is a co-founder of Achiote Press and author of several chapbooks, most recently: preterrain (Corollary Press, 2008). His first book, from unincorporated territory, is forthcoming this year from Tinfish Press. His poetry, essays, reviews, and translations have appeared in New American Writing, Pleiades, The Denver Quarterly, Jacket, Sentence, and Rain Taxi, among others.

Jenny Drai was raised by wolves. This is also where she learned to write. Humanity has been slightly more disappointing but has published her in 580 Split, Five Fingers Review, Sorry For Snake, Spinning Jenny, and the Tiny as well as the Back Room Live anthology
and other journals. After a long break she is blogging again at I Was A Feral Child: That's Why I Act This Way (http://jennydrai.blogspot.com) where, if you so choose, you can read all about the decomposing dead cat on her front lawn. And other
things. Thank you.

Gillian Hamel has been a participant of several failed literary exploits, both real and imaginary. Her work has since appeared in the fully operational Sorry IV Snake magazine, thanks to two particularly lovely and thorougly existent people. As a recent graduate of Berkeley's English department, she has yet to become gainfully employed and spends most of her time reading xkcd, drinking at home, and practicing linguistic terminology on her boyfriend.

The space and context of Sara Mumolo's poetry is forged from the blood and tears of full-grown men.
