c/c reading 007:

(Saturday, 25 June 2011)

Matthias Regan

Adam Weg

Denise Dooley

We are quite pleased to announce the seventh in the c/c reading series.  A special event, bringing three members of the Chicago based Next Objectivists.  From their website, “The Next Objectivists is the world’s only literary workshop entirely dedicated to the study and practice of objectivist poetry. We are a free school of poets and critics pursuing the techniques of writing poetry from outside the self. Our program of study is largely organized by the participants.”

In my own thoughts, during my tenure of two years in Chicago, the Next Objectivists were the high-water-mark guides that gave me a voice in the multitude of their own.  A group of poets with such genuine and honest abilities to the world, that they are a match in the most beautiful hearts I have seen.
