From near and far, the poets come to In Your Ear to read their work. This Sunday at 3pm at the DC Arts Center (2438 18th St. in Adams Morgan, a few doors south of the corner of 18th and Columbia Rd.), we are pleased to welcome GWYN MCVAY and K. SILEM MOHAMMED.

Kasey Mohammed's poetry has appeared in _Combo_, _580 Split_, _The San Jose Manual of Style_, _Cello Entry_, and other small journals. Maria Damon calls his chapbook _hovercraft_, (Kenning, 2000) "a beautiful and lyrical politicization of the contemporary act of writing." He lives in Santa Cruz, California and teaches at the University there. Here's a poem of his from _Combo_ 6: http://www.english.upenn.edu/~wh/combo/6/mohammed.html
