SUMMI KAIPA AND TISA BRYANT August 10th

Dear Lovely Friends,

I've organized a reading for one of my stellar Corollary authors, Summi Kaipa, on Sunday August 10th in Brooklyn. It is a rare treat to have her on the East Coast, and I'm thrilled at the opportunity to introduce her work to new audiences as well as invite those already familiar with her writing to have the pleasure of hearing her read. She'll be reading with the equally talented Tisa Bryant, whose recent book Unexplained Presence ought to be on everyone's reading list. Their bios are located below.

Corollary Press Presents Summi Kaipa and Tisa Bryant

Unnameable Books (Previously Adam's Books)

456 Bergen Street, Brooklyn

Tisa Bryant is the author of Unexplained Presence (Leon Works, 2007), a collection of original, hybrid essays that remix narratives from eurocentric film, literature and visual arts and zoom in on the black presences operating within them. She is currently working on [the curator], a fiction that meditates on identity, visual culture and the lost films of auteur Justine Cable, co-editing an anthology for AIDS Project Los Angeles, and is madly working to get Vol. 2 F-K of the Encyclopedia Project in the hopper.

Summi Kaipa has authored several chapbooks, including "The Epics" (Leroy Press), "One: I Beg You Be Still" (Belladonna), and most recently "The Language Parable" (Corollary Press). For eight years, she was the editor of Interlope, a magazine publishing innovative writing by Asian Americans, and in 2002, she received a Potrero Nuevo Fund Prize to write and produce her first play. Once a resident of SF's bustling Mission District, Kaipa now resides in a quiet neighborhood in North Berkeley, where she has been earning a degree in clinical psychology and making excruciatingly slow progress on her first full-length manuscript.

Corollary at the 215 festival

Corollary will be participating at the 215 Festival (aka the Literary Extravaganza) for the Lovingly Bound: Book and Arts Fair on Saturday, October 6th from noon until four o'clock. The book fair is free to the public and will be held at the Latvian Society 531 N 7th Street. If you like books and art and nicely dressed people who can hold a good conversation, you should come out. Also, keep me and Andrea Lawlor of Pocket Myths company.

Poetry Reading at Robin's Bookstore 10/12/07

My friend, Toronto poet Ray Hsu, is coming to town and will be giving a reading with Philadelphia-based writer Adrian Khactu and Canadian poet Anne F. Walker. It should be an amazing night.

Corollary and Katalanche in Philadelphia

My friend Dorothea Lasky, who co-edits Katalanche Press, and I decided to pull together a Philadelphia release/reading, courtesy of the Chapter and Verse reading series that Steve Dolph curates. For those of you in the area, the event is at 8pm on January 6th, 2007 at Chapterhouse Cafe. Here's a flier I put together for the event.




Corollary poets Christopher Stackhouse and Lynn Xu will be coming down from New York city, and Katalanche authors Michael Carr (who also co-edits Katalanche) and C.S. Carrier will be making an appearance from western Massachusetts.
