Noir at the Bar NYC, 4/12 Recap

Five-Two alum Thomas Pluck invited me to read for a second time at Shade, 241 Sullivan Street, NYC. I was glad to punctuate an evening of short stories and novel excerpts by my fellow readers Julia Dahl, Dan Krokos, Pluck, Alex Segura, S.A. Solomon, Jeff Soloway, Joe Samuel Starnes, Voice of The Five-Two Clare Toohey, Al Tucher, and Rich Zahradnik.

Also there were Lineup alum Henry Chang, blogger friend Peter Rozovsky, and Five-Two alum Elizabeth Lash, taking a chance on her first Noir at the Bar having seen news of it in our Twitter feed.

I read "A Definition of Noir", "Don't Try", and "The Hitch". Great to meet and catch up with you all.

Noir at the Bar NYC 5: August 18, 2013

I arrived at Shade later than expected, due to a pedestrian struck by the LIRR train ahead of mine, but others were delayed by traffic on the L.I.E., so I didn't miss anything.

I had the pleasure of sitting with Tom and Sarah Pluck, caught up with Charlie Stella and Jack Getze, and turned some new people on to crime poetry. Thanks to Glenn Gray and Todd Robinson for the warm welcome.

I read "Witness Protection", "Redemption", and "Life Sentence".
