Our first Open Reading at Mondo Books, had a good turn out
10 Readers. The venue I found well suited for our event. On the
second floor of the Kamimaizu location surrounded by books, our
reading had the place and time to fill the 3 hours will the word and
wine. A good combination. Most of the works were concerned about
death… something about out times?
Readings:
Tom Cho (Australia) debut
poetry < Chinese Whispers >
Popularity is a game, for those who are not popular learn to play
alone.
prose < Look who’s morphing >
Me I morphed into a giant reptilian creature
Tom Baurele ( USA )
prose < Probing the Universe >
Let’s try this one and see if there’s anything different up there.
