Patasola's Playground on Governor's Island, August 20

This art is by Emily Balivet. We're doing a really beautiful event this Saturday! I cannot wait! I simply cannot believe how far Patasola Press has come, with our event line-up, our lovely book list, our PEN/Hemingway-nominated first book by Rae Bryant (The Indefinite State of Imaginary Morals, May 2011), our upcoming Siren Series of female, NYC-poet chapbooks and more! Our Kickstarter reached $1,445 last night. I'm all flushed.

The Poetry Society of New York (the founders of the New York Poetry Festival and The Poetry Brothel) and New York-based Patasola Press are teaming up to present an event of mythical proportions. Chimerical beasts, writers and poets alike will read you poetry and folklore.

Patasola Press will present and celebrate their Anthology of Mytholgy, Female Writers' Anthology, Siren Series Chapbook writer T.M. De Vos and Rae Bryant's PEN/Hemingway-nominated "The Indefinite State of Imaginary Morals."

Dress like your favorite mythical creature! Patasola Press authors will read their work and The Poetry Society of New York/The Poetry Brothel will read poetry and work of mythology. White wine as well as beer will be sold.

Patasola Press will also collection donations for their fundraising campaign: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/patasolapress/patasola-press-poetry-fiction-women-and-translatio
