InkTank's Movable Feast New, Improved... Tuesday!

Moveable Feast Gets New Name and Look

InkTank's Loudnmobile Poetry Series (formerly Moveable Feast) returns for a second season in September, with monthly feature-open readings at various venues throughout Cincinnati. The readings, scheduled through May, 2006, will be presented in a different bar, coffeehouse, or gallery space each time, usually on the third Tuesday of the month.

The inaugural reading will take place at 8:00 p.m., on Tuesday, September 20, in the outdoor courtyard of the historic Arnold's Bar & Grill, 210 East Eighth Street (513-291-6234), in downtown Cincinnati.

The September reading will feature two Latin American writers, Columbian poet and novelist Armando Romero, and Nacasio Urbina a Nicaraguan poet and essayist, and an open reading. The event will kick off with an short open reading in which anyone is welcome to read their own work. Romero and Urbina will follow. After the feature readers the open reading will resume.

Romero is the author of several collections of poetry, and has also published a book of short stories. He recently was awarded the 2005 Latino book award for his novel, La Rueda de Chicago (Chicago's Wheel). His poetry collections include De Noche el Sol (At Night the Sun) and Hagion Ores: El Monte Santo (Hagion Oros: The Holy Mountain). Romero is currently a professor in the Romance Languages Department at the University of Cincinnati.

Nacasio has written several books, among them a collection of poetry, Sintaxis de un Signo (Syntaxis of Signs) and two short story anthologies, El Libro de las Palabras Enajendas (The Book of Senseless Words) and El ojo el cielo perdido (The Eye of the Paradise Lost). Nicasio is an Associate Professor of Spanish American literature at the University of Cincinnati.
