Celebration of the Cleveland Reader

The second issue of the Cleveland Reader may or may not be available yet, but editors of the free poetry tabloid are throwing a party at 7:30 p.m. at Visible Voice Books (1023 Kenilworth Rd., Tremont, 216.961.0084) with featured readers and an open mic to mark its coming - which will happen any day now. Executive Editor Mike Marcellino - recently a featured writer on outsiderwriters.org - will read in collaboration with artist and abstract noise improviser Abe Olvido. Marcellino, who was an Army combat correspondent in Vietnam, will read poems written during his stint there, some of which, he says, were composed "in a bunker under a blanket with a flashlight under fire." Just exactly what does a person write about under those circumstances? Show up to see and hear. The other featured reader of the evening is the well-traveled poet Ray McNiece. The upcoming issue of Cleveland Reader features the first installment of a serialized short story by Cleveland Heights Poet Laureate Mary Weems. Participants in the open mic reading run the risk of having their work selected for the third issue of Cleveland Reader, which will see print in the winter. - Michael Gill

About OW!
Outsider Writers have been distributing chapbooks in dark subterranean caverns for too long. The corporate presses and literary institutions have no vision. The media is irrelevant. It's time to rise into the sun!

Our Goal: Unite the write! We will join forces where we are strong, eliminate duplication of effort where we are weak and put the power and authority over literature back into the hands of the only legitimate owners: the authors and the readers.
