"Graffiti Calculus" Book Launch Party at the Casa Phoenix

What better way to start celebrating the holidays than a party at the Casa Phoenix? Join us and the incomparable Mary-Sherman Willis in celebrating the launch of her new book of poetry, Graffiti Calculus. As always, light food and wine will be provided, and you will receive a free copy of the book with a donation of $15 or more.

"Compulsively readable, beautifully achieved, GRAFFITI CALCULUS follows the marks on time's walls--notches on a doorway as a boy outgrows a mother's reach, the tags of a son on mapless streetscapes, kilroy whose face marks the trail of empire's 'expendable' sons, a Paleolithic Boy who faces his beast with a line drawn on the cave wall--Mary-Sherman Willis has given us a brilliant, heretofore unwritten saga of mythic scope--the mother's journey--even to the underworld--in search of her son." -- Eleanor Wilner
