This month's Hour will scorch in a few weeks early, for the holiday. (December will be likewise early and full of fireworks.)This time: Portland-AF novelist Hobie Anthony. Poet Alice Lavender Love reading from Ted Cheng's SciFi novel THE HUMAN INSIDE. Bizarro author and powerhouse performer Josh Knapton. Punk Classicist poet and Hour virgin, my new homie Ross Robbins. Cafe Lena trailblazer and pillar of the Hour That Stretches, author/ poet/ phenomenon Jennifer Robin, possibly together with or separate from the electronic psychobilly stylings of another Hour pillar, AirOn GhostRadio (Erin K Smith). And just to make sure we have everyone's attention, monologist Caitlin Beckwith-Ferguson from a sterling headhunt of a headhunt that paid off in gold. This will be a fine way to begin closing…
ATTENTION READERS: We will be hosting our biannual group reading on Friday, November 30th, 7pm, at The IPRC! This reading will be the official release event for HOT, NEW books: Joshua James Amberson’s “Everyday Mythologies,” Delphine Bedient’s “The Last Time My Sadness Was Convenient,” Carol Ellis’s “Hello,” and Ross Robbins’s “The Three EPs.” Zachary Schomburg, Michelle Overby, Izzy Ferguson, and Chris Maday will all be reading new works that may become new Two Plum titles as well.
