From Melanie Noel

Hello, hear ye hear ye, 


Dear you,

 
This is a little embarrassing, but I’m here to announce that my first book clomid tablets of poems is something one can hold in one’s hands.  I wished to make that announcement, and then also wanted to let you know I’m planning a west coast tour in the spring and created a fundraising page in Kickstarter.  If you can and wish to contribute, here is the link (and please don’t worry at all if you can’t):
 
If you’d like a book before the kickstarter fundraiser is through, they’ll soon be available through the marvelous Small Press Distribution:  http://www.spdbooks.org/Producte/9780984028542/the-monarchs.aspx?rf=1
 
The book release party will be on Friday evening, February 15, 2013, at the most magnificent Open Books and you’re all invited and I’d love to see you there.
 
I hope this finds everyone well, and that I’m not embarrassing myself too much.
 
Warmest wishes,
 
Melanie

Breadline Wednesday, Dec 19, 2012

Posted on December 15, 2012 by Splabman

A few years ago, near the end of the legendary run of Red Sky Poetry Theater, Marion Kimes, the doyenne of Red Sky, pointed out the success of the series by mentioning the different spin-off projects, or projects in part inspired by Red Sky, including SPLAB. I liked that way of looking at success and see that in some way a recent Seattle open mic has, in part, taken up where Red Sky left off.

I speak of Breadline, which has its year-end finale on Wednesday, Dec 19, 2013. Greg Bem, Alex Bleecker and Jeremy Springsteed have created a wonderful series and that they met at SPLAB, is something that gives me great satisfaction. Now the Stranger is calling it “the most exiting reading series in Seattle.” Wednesday’s event should be great. I hope to see you there.
