Poets Come from all over the U.S. to read Poetry in Kansas City!!
On June 20th and 21st, 2008 Kansas City will be host to a pair of poetry readings featuring over 20 published poets from a variety of small presses around the country, including Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Phoenix, Toledo, San Diego, Cleveland, Palm Beach, Denver, Seattle, Lawrence, Kansas City, and more. It is a gathering of writers we’re calling Unregulated Word. This event was organized by two Online Literary and Art Magazines: the Kansas City based Off Beat Pulp and the Los Angeles based Kill Poet Press. We’re proud to feature dozens of new and established poets reading their own work. It is a gathering of “Small Press” poets in the tradition of Charles Bukowski and in the spirit of the Beat Generation, a combining of arts, politics, and words. There are already three different publications surrounding Unregulated Word, put out by three separate “Small Press” Publishers. Such big names as S.A. Griffin, John Dorsey, and David Smith will be in attendance as well as other writers who all have a significant presence in the circles of American poetry. In all, there will be the authors of over twenty books of poetry in attendance; it is the sort of poetic firepower that starts literary movements. And it is all happening in Kansas City! Featuring Editors and Contributing Writers from such small presses as:
Off Beat Pulp Press
Kill Poet Press
Brainbox Press
Rose of Sharon Press
Covert Press
