Two Poets, No Waiting

We're barely two weeks into 2011 and already River Styx hosts its first poetry reading of the year -- 36 years of experience teaches you not to drag your feet on the important stuff. The inaugural reading of this new year brings Jake Adam York, author of the collections Murder Ballads and Persons Unknown, and Allison Joseph, whose most recent collection is My Father's Kites, a series of sonnets that plumb the depths of her loss on the passing of her father. The reading begins at 7:30 p.m. this evening at Duff's Restaurant (392 North Euclid Avenue; 314-533-4541 or www.riverstyx.org). Admission is $4 to $5.
