Folks,
Many of you know and love Doug Kearney already, from his days here in
Minnesota. Also, he co-featured with Dennis Kim at EQ a while back, at
one of our very best shows. He'll be here tomorrow to celebrate the
publication of his first official volume of poetry, "Fear, some." He's
taking a very strenuous flight to get here to us all the way from LA --
the least we can do is show up for his excellent poems, yes? I truly
believe he is one of the most talented, provocative poets of our
generation.
Added to this are two stellar local writers and organizers, Sun Yung
Shin and Shannon Gibney -- their groundbreaking anthology is an
incredible work that you definitely need to check out.
Plus, cake.

/ Outsiders Within: Writing on Transracial Adoption/ (South End
Press) presents a rarely considered view of transracial adoption in the
voices of those who have matured within it, an institution that pulls
apart old families and identities and grafts new ones. Shannon Gibney is
a contributor to /Outsiders Within /and her poetry has appeared in
/Black Renaissance Noire, Wicked //Alice//, /and the /Bellingham//
Review./ Sun Yung Shin is the author of /Skirt Full of Black/ (poems),

are Bush Artist Fellowship recipients.
