at the Swedenborg

A new season of Shearsman launches took off last night with readings by Angela Gardner for her new book Views of the Hudson, and by Gavin Selerie for his new and selected volume Music’s Duel. The turnout was more than respectable given that an Openned reading was on at the same time featuring some people who might otherwise have been at this one. The great man himself passively watched the rest of us as the poets read their work. Openned, by the way, has a newly designed and highly accessible website that’s always worth checking out.
