Live Giants #7: Mairéad Byrne

The seventh installment of Live Giants will feature Mairéad Byrne, a va-va-voom poet and professor and all-around great person. She will be the first in the series with an accent.

Her latest book, The Best of (What’s Left of) Heaven, was just released by Publishing Genius.

Her earlier book, Talk Poetry, had me in stitches, but when I saw her read from it in Chicago I was like, what, wait, these prose poems is kinda sad.

Tune in next Thursday, July 29, at 9pm to find out if it will be funny or sad or what-all. No cover.

Live Giants #3, with Joshua Marie Wilkinson

You missed the reading but you can still pick up Joshua’s new book:

Up until about 9 PM on Wednesday night, Selenography will be available for a 25% discount, $15, from Sidebrow Books. I got my copy yesterday, and it is a beautiful thing to hold. Snatch it up.

You can also get Joshua’s book in package deal with the other brand new Sidebrow release by Sandy Florian, along with the Sidebrow anthology, which is incredible, all for $30. Again, this is a deal that will go on through the show and 24 hours thereafter. Enjoy!

Don’t forget this Thursday at 9 PM Eastern time marks the kickoff of our monthly online live reading series, Live Giants!, featuring Heather Christle, author of The Difficult Farm, live from her home in Atlanta. More info at RSVP at Facebook.

Live Giants, a live online monthly reading series

Excited to announce today a new monthly feature we’ve been drumming around for a while now, and finally ready to kick it off for 2010, HTML Giant Live Giants, a monthly reading series hosted right here on the site.

On the last non-Friday weekday of each month we’ll have a writer we love reading from their home, or perhaps surprise locations, via live streaming, 20 minutes or so followed by a chatbox-prompted q/a. With so many excellent people all over the place, and all the invites we get to readings that we wish we had a time/space portal for, we hope this will help fill some of that gap, and without necessarily putting on any pants.

The inaugural reading will be that fabulous Heather Christle. Mark your calendar to show up around here on Thursday January 28 at 9 PM Eastern and witness her incantations and brainspeaks. BYOB. No RSVP.
