Clausen & Rohe, Poetry & Song on May 1
Jan Clausen and Jean Rohe
Celebrate May Day with an evening of Poetry and Song
Thursday, May, 1, 2008, 7:30 pm
K-Dog and Dunebuggy Café, 43 Lincoln Road (near Flatbush Avenue)
in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn
(718) 282-7139
No charge, but come prepared to support K-Dog by consuming some of their scrumptious edibles and drinkables, including dinner items, sandwiches, wine, beer, coffee, tea, and desserts. (If you want to know more, check out their Yelp review at http://www.yelp.com/biz/k-dog-and-dune-buggy-cafe-brooklyn)
Directions: K-Dog is less than half a block from the Prospect Park train stop. Take the Q or B to Prospect Park and exit at the front of the train. Turn left down Lincoln Road (toward Flatbush) and look for the blue K-Dog awning.
About the Performers:
Jan Clausen’s poems respond lyrically to the poet’s age-old concerns—“love, death, and the changing of the seasons”—as they register in an intimate psychic space charged with the urgency of our historical moment. She will read from two new poetry collections, including If You Like Difficulty, of which Rodney Koeneke writes:
Jan Clausen’s witty, resourceful poems turn on a dime from “abab” formal to text message-y digital, hugging the curves of language with precision and wild glee. “Tufts of dithyramb” thrust from the cracks of a staggered republic, her verses had me feeling we’re just one good ablation away from making things right & new.
Jean Rohe will sing her own songs and some of her favorite tunes from Brazilian and American writers, accompanying herself on guitar and a variety of percussion instruments.
