LISA BESKIN
I attended Oberlin College and the University of Massachusetts Amherst. My training in poetry means that I've taught at Yale, fact-checked for Disney Magazine, reviewed DVDs, and worked at some truly fine bookstores. When I wrote about DVDs I made terrible deals with my editor, like, "I'll review 'Barbie in The Nutcracker' and the ice-skating chimp movie if I get to do the new Hitchcock collection." Journalism left me hardened, and last year I had my gallbladder removed. I tolerate anesthesia pretty well. I wrote "My Work Among the Faithful," which won the Blue Lynx Prize and was published by Lynx House/Eastern Washington University Press, and "Prussian Blue," published by the Factory Hollow Press.

ZINC 2011 GRAND FINALE READINGS BY THE LUNGFULL! EDITORS: Edmund Berrigan, Molly Dorozenski, Anahit Guilant, Brendan Lorber, Todd Colby, Mike Smith and Tracey McTague.

 

A Sunday evening traditon among writers in New York,
ZBRS was founded in 1993 by Joe Elliot
& has since been hosted by Douglas Rothschild, Brendan Lorber,
Marcella Durand, Anselm Berrigan, among others

Originally at the legendary Biblio's in Tribeca,
it moved to Zinc on Houston Street in 1995 & again
in 2007 to its current righteous location.

Over the course of it's 600+ readings to date, ZINC-TRS has welcomed poets from five continents
and has paired established & emerging writers from many different traditions ranging from the
extremely experimental to the unadulterated lyric to the immensely performative.

Meek, perky, inscrutable & outrageous, ZINC-TRS seeks to connect the impossible with the irresolvable
& leave everyone more open to the world around them then they were when they entered the place.

$5 donation goes to the poets.
If you don't have it, don't worry, come anyway

Take a look at 2003-2004 or the 2004-2005 or even the 2005-2006 seasons. Oh and here's 2010
