Please join us for a reading to celebrate Chis Nealon's new book Plummet! O & this guy Ben Lerner's pretty damn great too!

Chris Nealon is the author of two books of poems: Plummet (just out from Edge Books) and The Joyous Age (Black Square Editions, 2004), as well as Foundlings: Lesbian and Gay Emotion Before Stonewall (Duke UP, 2001). He is currently completing a book of criticism called The Matter of Capital: Poetry and Spectacle in the American Century. He lives in Washington, DC and is Associate Professor in the Department of English at Johns Hopkins University.

Ben Lerner's first book, The Lichtenberg Figures (Copper Canyon, 2004), was a Lannan Literary Selection and was named one of the year's best books of poetry by Library Journal. Angle of Yaw (Copper Canyon, 2006) was a finalist for the National Book Award. A former Fulbright Scholar in Madrid, Lerner co-founded and co-edits No: a journal of the arts. He recently joined the faculty at the University of Pittsburgh.
