Merry GPKISMas!
Tomorrow (Sunday the 7th) J-Rockstars, GPKISM, and Seileen are going to be at Quimby’s, signing merchandise, at 2pm. This event is in anticipation of the bands’ show later on Sunday just down the street at Subterranean. It’s the perfect compliment to anyone’s Super Bowl Sunday activities.

San Francisco Panorama
McSweeneys, the literary magazine that usually pretends to be a book has just come out with issue 33. This time it’s playing the role of Sunday Edition of a newspaper. It comes complete with different sections, a pull-out glossy magazine, full color comics section (ranging in talents from Chris Ware (Acme Novelty Library) to Erik Larsen (Savage Dragon)), and step by step instructions on how to be Death Cab for Cutie. It all comes in a sealed package, which makes you feel like you’re opening up astronaut food, or new checks. After much anticipation, the issue showed up this morning, cooing like a dove. -

Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz Reads From Everything is Everything
Everything Is Everything In a recent interior with lit blog Orange Alert, poet Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz describes her latest book, Everything is Everything, as “an odd, tender, spastic, claustrophobic and bizarre-fact-riddled book that is trying to appreciate the journey instead of obsessing about the destination.” But she was also sure to add that “the book also contains a bizarre amount of poems about giraffes who have been trained to rape humans. But only because they really existed, and not because I’m a crazy sadist.”
“Sometimes you plod through the day, bumping into people, tripping over your own feet. But then there are those remarkable days when you move through the world as stealthily as ninja. The latter is how the poems move in this book. Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz spits in her hands, grabs the sledgehammer, swings it hard, and rings that bell in poem after poem after poem. Everything is Everything is a winning collection chock full of swift, honest, smart, funny, and even tender poems that go up to 11.” – Jennifer Knox, author of Drunk by Noon
Everything is Everything is Aptowicz’s first poetry collection to be published after her acclaimed non-fiction book, Words In Your Face: Words In Your Face: A Guided Tour Through Twenty Years of the New York City Poetry Slam (Soft Skull Press, 2008). Cristin will be joined by several poets from the local Chicago Poetry Slam community, as well as her partner – poet and former surly Quimbys employee – Shappy Seasholtz, who will read from his most recent chapbook, This is All I Can Offer You.
