[Yale-readings] Edge Fest Reading Saturday, June 26th at 7pm

[Nancy Kuhl]

ARTS + LITERATURE LABORATORY invites you to a New Haven Edge Fest reading 
with NYC poets Tony Gloeggler and Angelo Verga. Saturday, June 26th at 7pm

Tony Gloeggler and Angelo Verga - A reading straight from the pages of Jane 
Street Press (www.janestreet.com/press) of New York City. Gloeggler and 
Verga are tough, funny and urbane. They say startlingly true things about 
the world around them, and they know you - maybe better than you'd like 
them to. $5 suggested donation.

"Angelo Verga's poems hurricane through urban subject matter with 
astounding clarity and force 'with every breath, regularly & continuously, 
like a messianic machine.' They 'snatch the greasy dishes, and fling them 
at the rusted pots and pans' of our way of life. Images swirl, narratives 
sting. This book resounds with indispensable noise; it's a wake-up call, 
filled with unflinching honesty, humor, and haunting tenderness." 
—Laure-Anne Bosselaar

"Gloeggler's poetry is a harsh music, dissonant and true. These are rock 'n 
roll songs of love and lust, of the persistence of lonliness and the power 
of memory. A book with duende to spare, One Wish Left takes us into Bruce 
Springsteen's 'darkness on the edge of town' and offers us his battered 
valentines." —Kim Addonizio
