"Flux, Clot & Froth"... (Poetry reading, Feb. 16)

... is the title of the newest, recently published book of poetry by UCR librarian John Bloomberg-Rissman.

"On 23 Nov 08 John Bloomberg-Rissman finished transforming his crazy stacks of later 20^th- and early 21^st-century Anglophone literature into organized shelves. Looking at those shelves, he decided to 'unpack' them through a longish poem: the result is an epic-length mixtape composed of thousands of algorithmically/intuitively-derived fully annotated oft-mangled bits of écriture/parole." (from the back cover)

John will read from Flux, Clot & Froth on Wednesday, February 16, 3PM, Rivera Library room 403 (4^th floor),

Reception to follow. Sponsored by the Librarians Association of the University of California, Riverside.
