@ in your ear @ DCAC
Please join us on Sunday, October 21 at 3 p.m. at the DC Arts Center (2438 18th Street in Adams Morgan, just south of Columbia Rd. on the west side of the street) for a reading by LAURA ELRICK, ANDY FOGLE, and RODRIGO TOSCANO.
Laura Elrick moved to Brooklyn from San Francisco in 1999. She currently works at a literacy center in Spanish Harlem where she does public benefits advocacy. Previous poetry has appeared or is forthcoming in How2, Tripwire, and Combo.
Andy Fogle was born in Norfolk VA and grew up in Virginia Beach. In 2000, he earned his MFA in poetry from George Mason University where he has continued on as a teacher of composition and literature. He's also poet-in-residence at Hart Middle School in SE DC as part of the DC Creative Writing Workshop. For the past seven years he has assembled the free poetry publication, 5th Gear. He's also a part of the rock band Calibos, who've just released their second album on their own Handheld label. He reviews books and music for Popmatters.com, and there are poems in Fine Madness, Parting Gifts, Chance, Lilliput Review, Cotyledon, The Tangent, Ingin the Ooh, Autopilot, Dry Creek Review, and once, in disguise, The Washington City Paper.
Rodrigo Toscano's two books include Partisans (O Books) and The Disparities (Green Ineger). His third book Platform is due in 2002 from Atelos Press. His writing has recently appeared in Open Letter, Tripwire, Crayon, Combo, Bombay Gin, and
Cross-Cultural Poetics. Rodrigo lives in New York City where he works at the Labor Institute.
