Books Reading Today
posted by on March 16 at 10:00 AM
Only one reading today, at Elliott Bay Book Company. Marjorie Manwaring, a local poet, reads from her collection of poetry, Magic Word.
Here is a segment of a prose poem by Manwaring, called “Disappearing.”
When the magician made me disappear, I felt a lurch in my stomach, a zap in my skull. He hadn’t explained fully— something to do with condensing matter and forcing a square peg into the sphere of fourth dimension. I imploded into a brooding mass, feeling liquid, dispersed, unaware of a center.
The rest of the poem is here, as well as other poems by Manwaring.
The entire readings calendar, including the next week or so, is here.
