Poetry Reading: John Sibley Williams and A. Molotkov

Annie Bloom's Books 7834 SW Capitol Hwy, Portland, OR, United States

Annie Bloom's welcomes local poets John Sibley Williams and A. Molotkov to read from their new collections. What happens when metaphysics and social critique meet? Poetry that has to find a new form to express the tension it embodies. John Sibley Williams’ newspaper-like columns in As One Fire Consumes Another do just that.

Molotkov’s Synonyms for Silence. His third…
