Not to toot my own horn but last night's Brooklyn Reading Works, Young, Gifted & Black (Men) really rocked.

James Hannaham, Victor LaValle and Clifford Thompson read terrific work and there was a great discussion afterward about voice, process, and literary and other influences.

Martha Southgate curated, introduced the authors and led the Q&A. Martha will be back in June to read her own fiction and to present other writers as well.

Take a look at these author's websites. Buy their books. And come to the next Brooklyn Reading Works on October 15th: Poetry Punch. Yeah.
