I’m doing my first out of town feature since the separation at the Delray Beach Poetry Slam at DADA’s. Here’s all the dirt.

Who Is J. Bradley?
J. Bradley is the author of Dodging Traffic (Ampersand Books) and the Interview Editor of PANK Magazine. His poetry & flash fiction roam the countryside in various journals. In 1985, J. Bradley flirted with journalism when he interviewed Emmanuel Lewis with a Spider-Man PEZ Dispenser.

PLUS! THIS TUESDAY IS GUEST HOSTED BY THE ONE AND ONLY MARYA SUMMERS- this will be her last time hosting before she moves to LA. If you didn’t know, Marya STARTED the slam at Dada: she was Delray Beach’s first Slam-Mistress, and taught me nearly everything I know.
As usual: no cover, $100 grand prize for first place, sign up opens at 10pm
I am eating your souls. I will want seconds.
