A Memorial Reading with books by Zeitgeist authors who have passed into the spirit realm, including new books by Eli Coppola (Make of Me Many Miracles) and Julia Vinograd (the complete version of The Book of Jerusalem, with sixty poem more than the 1984 original – wow).

Reading pieces from these books, along with work by Andy Clausen and David Lerner, will be

Jan Steckel
Deborah Fruchey
Paul Corman-Roberts
Anita May
David West
and myself.

We’ll each likely read some of our own work as well.

This reading will celebrate the release of two new books by Cafe Babar writers Eli Coppola and Julia Vinograd. Since both have passed into the spirit realm, their friends and compadres will be reading from their works.
