"KGB" and Anne ...

Come Enjoy Trumpet Fiction! *Sponsored by Ducts.org KGB BAR 85 East 4th Street (between 2nd & 3rd Ave) Saturday, May 12, 6:45 p.m. FEATURED READERS: ANNE POSTEN Like Michel Foucault, Anne Posten describes herself as a Nietzschean. She also describes herself variously as a translator, a writer, a musician, a mediocre but enthusiastic tennis player, a veteran barista/bartender, and an excellent cook, so it’s hard to know what to believe, really. She most certainly lives in Astoria, while in (hot) pursuit of an MFA in Creative Writing and Literary Translation from Queens College. Her first book-lengt h translation from the German, This Beautiful Place by Tankred Dorst, was recently published by Hanging Loose Press. DANIEL B. MELTZER Daniel B. Meltzer is a playwright, fiction writer, and journalist. He has won the O. Henry and Pushcart Prizes for his stories and a New York Newspaper Association Award for his columns. His plays have been staged across the U.S. as well as in Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. His stories, memoirs, essays and poems have appeared in many journals, magazines, and newspapers here and abroad. Daniel has been a newspaper editor, a TV news writer, a comedy writer, a speechwriter, a college professor, and a community organizer. He lives in Manhattan. The story LES IS MOR is from his new collection, OUTSIDERS, published this year. SARAH ENELOW Sarah Enelow was raised in Central Texas and May 12th is her six-year anniversary of moving to New York, where she currently works at a string instrument shop. Sarah’s writing has been published by Not For Tourists among other travel websites and a couple of very obscure literary magazines. She has an infatuation with travel, which led her to do an i nternship in Moscow, a Fulbright Grant in rural Argentina, and a month-long stint in Beijing. She plans to read a personal essay about a migraine she had during her first summer here. Hope to see you there!
