Literary Death Match SF, Ep. 29
Elbo Room
San Francisco, CA
The Literary Death Match SF is proud to bring you Episode 29. The LDM features four readers fighting to survive in the harsh reality that is the literary world: a brutal smackdown of words, punctuation, and ideas.
Ep. 29 will be a literary variety show, spotlighting poetry, playwriting, and bedlam.
Our show includes the accomplished Matthew Zapruder (author of three collections of poetry: American Linden, The Pajamaist, and Come On All You Ghosts), the dynamic Jeremy Hatch (film editor of TheRumpus.net), past beloved co-host/hula hooper/exotic dancer Braden Marks, and dreamboat poet Randall Mann (author of the collection of poems Breakfast with Thom Gunn).
The readers will be judged by the following experts: Andrew Leland, managing editor of the Believer and author of pseudo-erotic flash fiction on his website, Good Jobbbbbbbb; professional funny lady Emily Heller; and Bucky Sinister, a misunderstood poet and self-help author of Get Up: 12 Step Recovery for Misfits, Freaks, and Weirdos.
Co-hosted by Alanna Nemzoff Coby and LDM SF producer Elissa Bassist.
Four readers enter; one will remain. The LDM is a reading series that's competitive; it's great fun and an inspiring crucible of talent in a package that's all smiles and cheer and friendly intellectual combat.
Where: Elbo Room, 647 Valencia St.
When: Doors at 6:30pm, show at 7:00pm (sharp)
