Six Evening Talks with Andy Fitch
April 23, 2014, 7:00 pm
at The Kitchen

Ugly Duckling Press has just released Andy Fitch’s Sixty Morning Talks: Serial Interviews with Contemporary Authors. Rather than advance an overarching argument concerning “the state of poetry,” this book engages a broad range of authors often subdivided into ideological, aesthetic, generational, national and identity-based camps, and taps the accessibility of vernacular speech to offer new means of comparative study, cross-reference, and discursive collaboration. At The Kitchen, Fitch will be joined by Shanna Compton, Thom Donovan, Dorothea Lasky, Tan Lin, Christopher Schmidt, and Jenny Zhang for a series of readings and live conversations.Andy Fitch’s most recent book is Pop Poetics: Reframing Joe Brainard. His collaboration with Amaranth Borsuk, As We Know, will be published by Subito Press later this year. His collaboration with Jon Cotner, Conversations over Stolen Food, will be published by 1913 Press in 2015. For Letter Machine Editions, he and Cristiana Baik are currently assembling The Letter Machine Book of Interviews. Fitch edits The Conversant and Essay Press. He teaches in the University of Wyoming’s MFA program.More info here.
