Bryan Cranston from Breaking Bad reads “Ozymandias”
2River’s a big fan of Breaking Bad and think it’s cool that the show makes use of good poetry. Here I-am-the-danger reads a poem that perhaps points to his fall.
Andrew Oerke Dies Suddenly
Andrew Oerke has died unexpectedly, though he had had some long-standing health problems from his time in Africa. His poems have appeared in The New Yorker, The New Republic, Poetry, and in numerous other magazines. In 2006, African Stiltdancer and San Miguel de Allende were published jointly by Swan Books and the UN Society for Writers and Artists. They have received the United Nations Literature Award. His most recent book, Never Seek to Tell Thy Love, was published in 2010. Look for two of his newer unpublished poems in the upcoming summer issue of 2RV.
Celebrate with Superstition Review
If you’re in Phoenix or within driving distance on Thursday, April 25, be sure to attend the launching party of the 11th issue of Superstition Review, the online literary magazine at Arizona State University. The celebratory occasion will take place at the Mesa Arts Center from 6 to 8 p.m.
While you dine on great food from the local vegan and vegetarian restaurant The Pomegranate Café, section editors will discuss their favorite art, fiction, interviews, nonfiction, and poetry featured in the issue, and Cynthia Hogue will give a reading of her work. You’ll even have free access to the museum and to the exhibition “CreatureManNature” by Arizona artists Monica Aissa Martinez, Carolyn Lavendar, and Mary Shindell, who are past contributors to Superstition Review.
Sounds like a great event hosted by a wonderful online literary magazine:
