Now with more men!* Judy's lovely boys are back and things are looking rather queer. The famous Manhattan "lunch break poet" Frank O'Hara will be honored and maybe even interrogated at Pope House's private downstairs bar. Poems will be randomly drawn out of a hat just to add an extra level of anxiety for the readers. Come enjoy the coziness of NW Portland in the fall! This event is free, so make sure to tip your bartender HANDSOMELY.

*The terms "men" and "boys" are loosely defined.

First anniversary reading. A whole year of togetherness. Time flies when you're Blooming! I've assembled a cast of powerful personalities to read published poets that I've assigned to them. This is Judy Thorn's very special show full of wonders. We'll have more seating than usual and I'd love to see some fancy outfits. WELCOME TO MY TRANSGENDER POETRY READING SERIES. My sacred mission is to take poetry away from snobs and give it to my friends and their friends.

Vol. XI brings us poetic works from Jaye, Josephine, and Jillian, followed by a double music bill featuring Russia (from LA) and Mealworm (from here). My sis Chloe is doing the Community Poem, which is all about how to throw the perfect party. Let’s be crazy! This is the one night of the month we get to Bloom each other off without shame!  Bloomers Poetry Club is a traveling literary cabaret funded and sustained entirely by me and you. This month we’re raising money for someone in my family who is at risk of homelessness. You can donate $5-20 at the door, OR bring drinks to share with everyone. If money is tight but you have a bottle of wine at home, just bring that instead! NOTAFLOF, obviously.

May Wall Press presents three works by three local writers in the upstairs gallery at Word Virus, Portland's most "if you know you know" bookstore and event space.

Kaya Noteboom @kayanoteboom is a writer often found entering or exiting rooms. She is co-host of Access Code, a monthly critical theory and cultural criticism reading group, and recently launched the Perfect Medium reading series with Fonograf Editions.

Judy Thorn @judyinterrupted is a writer with good manners. She is editor of May Wall Press and curator of Bloomers Poetry Club, a monthly poetry cabaret for emerging writers and artists in Portland. She was going to be on Think Out Loud, but it was cancelled last minute.

Violet Pitsker @vi.phobic is a writer whose favorite flower is not a violet, but a daphne. She is a McCormack Writing Center scholar and is working on her first novel.
