! BACK ROOM LIVE ! SATURADY JANUARY 26TH ! 7PM !

! BACK ROOM LIVE ! Is back in action ! Saturday Night ! January 26th 7pm ! Mc Nally's Irish Pub in Rockridge ! With poets and prose writers ! Lily Brown ! Victoria Hudson ! Clare Becker ! Patrick Holian ! BACK ROOM LIVE is a monthly multi-genre reading series produced by Life-long Press, always at 7pm and on the last Saturday of the month (barring major holiday or sporting event).

After a chance encounter with John Madden, Patrick discarded his childhood ambition of becoming a writer to pursue a career in competitive rambling. Also, he's broken his nose and femur, and wants to thank all of you for being here.

Claire Becker lives in Oakland and teaches at the California School for the Blind. Her poems have been published in Typo, Tarpaulin Sky, The Alembic, 580 Split, the tiny, Octopus, and H-ngm-n and are forthcoming in Octopus #10. Her chapbook Untoward was just published by Lame House Press. She holds an MFA from St. Mary's College and a BA from Pomona College and studies in the Program in Visual Impairments at San Francisco State. Her presence can be felt at humanisanimal.blogspot.com.

Victoria Hudson finds winter gardening a bit more challenging than spring and summer gardening. When not protecting fledging plants from frost, she tends to feral cats and other procrastinations. Occasionally she writes poetry and prose.

LilyBrown holds an M.F.A from Saint Mary's College of California and currently lives in San Francisco. She is the author of the chapbook The Renaissance Sheet, published by Octopus Books in 2007. Kitchen Press will publish her second chapbook, Old with You, in 2008. Poems have appeared in Typo, Octopus, Fence, Tarpaulin Sky and Handsome and are forthcoming in Pleiades, 26 and Cannibal.
