The Clean Part Four

Another inspiring installment of The Clean Part last night. If you were there you already know that Seanna won a Dutch Apple pie. If you weren't then you need to track down everything you can by Hadara Bar-Nadav, Joshua Edwards & Dora Malech and read it. All three are fantastic in very different but overlapping ways. It was a great pleasure to hear them read. Thanks again to Tugboat Gallery & Gomez for hosting us, Denny Schmickle for the spectacular design work he does, the Mill & Alisa Heinzman for providing. Thanks to everyone for attending. And thanks most of all to Hadara, Dora & Josh for reading.

I was a little late for Hadara because I was picking up Josh from the Omaha airport, so I aint got no picture of her. Sorry Hadara, but with pictures this poor it's probably for the best.




After the reading we headed out for food & drinks. Lots of great conversations about poetry, cattle ranching, Denis Johnson & the fact that I don't like Alan Dugan's poetry. I forgot I had a camera until after Dora left but here are some slightly beery pictures of Hadara (with two faces) & Josh, Zach & Michael D reading. I swear it was more fun than it looks.
