THE IN SOUND FROM WAY OUT
FRIDAY, SEPT 14 (7PM) THE KGB BAR, NYC
3 of NYC’s leading underground authors come together for one night only to read selections from their work. Feted by the likes of Dennis Cooper, Miranda July andDan Fante, Donari Braxton, Tao Lin and Tony O’Neill are sure to provide fireworks,electrifying readings and maybe some broken teeth.
WRITING FROM THE EDGE: TOMMY TRANTINO AND TONY O'NEILL
Scheduled for Thursday, Jun 21st (7pm) McNally Robinson Booksellers, Prince Street, NYC — this is an historic appearance by Tommy Trantino (pictured), the prison author whose book Lock The Lock (Knopf, 1974) was lauded by luminaries such as Henry Miller, Allen Ginsberg, Kurt Vonnegut and William Burroughs. Trantino was convicted of the 1963 murder of two New Jersey police officers and spent many years on death row before his sentence was commuted to life. It was while in prison that he turned to art as a means of self-preservation, and his art and writing exudes a powerful influence on the underground writing scene. Tony O’Neill’s work has been championed by such important names in the American underground as Dan Fante, Dennis Cooper and John Giorno. He is the author of Digging The Vein, Seizure Wet Dreams and his latest, Songs From The Shooting Gallery: Poems 1999 - 2006. Tommy and Tony will read selections from their work as well as taking part in Q&A.
