The Literary Underground To Host Weekend of Live Poetry Events in Albuquerque
PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Literary Underground To Host Weekend of Live Poetry Events in Albuquerque
The Literary Underground teams up with independent literary publications Zygote in my Coffee and The Meth Lab to produce two literary readings on November 3rd and 4th.
Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. Monday, September 10, 2012--The Literary Underground is a grassroots organization committed to fostering community in the independent press. In coordination with Zygote in my Coffee, they will be hosting “Happy Endings” on Saturday, November 3, 2012 from 4-6 pm at The Box Improv & Performance Space on Gold Avenue in downtown Albuquerque. Happy Endings is to mark the end of the Zyfez reading series (Toledo 2011 and Oakland 2012) with a newly forged alliance between The Literary Underground and Zygote in my Coffee in pledge of supporting underground authors and writing. Zygote in my Coffee is a literary publication that has been publishing online for nearly ten years and in print for five. Many popular, independent authors have had their first works published here.
On Sunday, November 4, 2012, The Literary Underground will partner with The Meth Lab to host “Mothpocalypse”. Mothpocalypse is a gathering of multi-lingual vagabonds, writers and poets communing like it's early Spring in the middle of Autumn. This event will take place from 5-7 pm at the Harwood Arts Center on 7th & Mountain in downtown Albuquerque. Local author Frankie Metro serves as an editor for The Meth Lab, as well as working on various projects including the Project U Radio Network at The Literary Underground. The Meth Lab takes a 'no holds barred' approach to their publishing efforts and seeks to highlight the talents of unknown or not well known authors?a goal that is shared with The Literary Underground.
Both events are free and open to the public. Between the two events, over thirty poets and authors will perform their works live. Those scheduled to read are traveling from all over the United States. Local authors will also be featured.
About The Literary Underground
The Literary Underground is a grassroots organization committed to fostering community in the independent press. Founded in 2010, successful projects to date include: The Literary Underground Wiki, an open-source encyclopedia devoted to the underground press; Project U Radio Network, with shows hosted on blogtalk radio including author interviews, open mics and topic shows; the Archive Directory, providing web space for the archival of defunct publications; and Citizens For Decent Literature, an online and print publication that seeks to give voice to the voiceless.

Call for Submissions: The Interdependency Issue of Unlikely Stories: Episode IV
Call for Submissions: The Interdependency Issue of Unlikely Stories: Episode IV (http://unlikelystories.org/blog/content/?p=630&fb_source=message)
This election season, Unlikely Stories: Episode IV will assemble and publish an Interdependency Issue, in which we, as American members of the small press, will celebrate the U.S. as part of a planet and a globe which might not be a “global community” but really should be. We are looking for:
Poetry
Fiction
Creative Non-Fiction
Art & Literary Criticism
Cultural & Sociopolitical Analyses
Static Visual Art
Time-Based Art and other forms of Movies and Videos
Music
Spoken Word
Sound Art
…and just about any other form of thought that can be reproduced on the Web.
We want it in:
English or Espanglish.
We want it from:
Anyone, any where in the world, who is NOT a United States citizen, OR
Anyone who is a citizen of one of the tribal governments within the U.S., OR
U.S. citizens CURRENTLY living outside of the U.S., specifically writing (or creating art) about their experiences outside of the U.S.
We want it to be about:
Any subject EXCEPT U.S. elections, past or present. Although Unlikely Stories: Episode IV often has a sociopolitical slant, we publish a variety of works on every topic, and your work need not be sociopolitical in theme. Check us out at http://www.UnlikelyStories.org/ and read the sort of stuff we normally publish, or check out our regular submission guidelines at http://www.unlikelystories.org/submit.shtml for specific directives. WE DO NOT WANT WORK ON THE U.S. ELECTIONS. Really, you can find someplace else to send that at this time.
We want it by October 1st, 2012. We will publish two weeks before the U.S. presidential election.
Thanks for your consideration,
–
