It's a night celebrating the chapbook!

Three fantastic poets will read from and sign their recent chapbooks, and in the process, bring more attention to these sometimes underappreciated small collections of poetry. Charlotte Innes is the author of Reading Ruskin in Los Angeles, Andrea Scarpino is the author of Grove Behind, and Corrie Greathouse is the author of Portraits: Invisible Ink on Parchment (all chapbooks).

Come on by and find out what makes chapbooks so cool!

Charlotte Innes's poetry has appeared in various journals, including The Hudson Review, The Sewanee Review, The Pinch, The Chaffin Journal, and Knockout.  Currently, she is writer-in-residence at Pilgrim School, where she teaches English and creative writing; assists students in putting out a literary magazine; and runs a visiting writers series.

Andrea Scarpino received an MFA in Creative Writing from The Ohio State University, has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize, and is widely published in both print and online journals. She currently teaches with the Union Institute and University's Cohort Ph.D. program in Interdisciplinary Studies and is the West Coast Correspondent for the blog Planet of the Blind.

Corrie Greathouse was raised in Orange County and lives in Los Angeles. She has performed throughout California and in NYC both solo and accompanied by ambient musician graffiti61. Her work has been published in Poetix, The Toronto Quarterly, Falling Star Magazine, November 3rd Club and others.
