Hello from Hong Kong, everyone. Among the various goings-on I’ve missed blogging during the past few days, this one’s especially close to my heart, seeing as how the Solar Anus reading series is jointly run by Our Own Herr Butler, my dear friend Amy McDaniel, and all-purpose badass Jamie Iridell. Amy posted the following to facebook yesterday-

Hi writers!

I co-run a poetry and fiction reading series in Atlanta called Solar Anus. Past readers include Justin Taylor, Johannes Goransson, Rauan Klassnik, and Bruce Covey. In the interest of future readings that are every bit as fabulous, I thought I’d reach out to all of you in two ways:

First, please let me know if you will be in the Atlanta area…ever. I’d love to discuss the possibility of hosting you to read to us.

Second, pass this along to other writers whom you respect who either live in or near Atlanta or who might be passing through. Encourage them to query me at amymcdaniel@gmail.com with a brief bio and a link to something they’ve written. We especially love promoting writers who have books or chapbooks to sell.

Very many thanks.
Amy
