Diana Hamilton & Nicolas Mugavero - Dec. 8th, 2014

Monday Reading Series Diana Hamilton‘s first book, Okay, Okay (Truck Books 2012) deals primarily with women crying at work. Three chapbooks came out this year, or will soon enough: 1. Universe (Ugly Duckling Presse), a long poem about examples in moral philosophy, 2. Some Shit Advice (The Physiocrats), in which the speaker provides advice about shitting, and 3. 23 Women to Kiss Before You Die (Make Now Press), a collection of four poems about consent, female sexuality, and the quotidian. Nicolas Mugavero lives and works in Raleigh, North Carolina. He co-curates orworse.net and orworsepress.net with Chris Sylvester and Shiv Kotecha. He has published books with Troll Thread Press and Gauss PDF. His poetic practice can best be described as one of diminishing returns.
