The sixth installment of BANG OUT Reading Series returned home to Amnesia Bar on Valencia Street on Saturday, January 16th with a theme of “Resolution.” Fans braved the rain to hear fresh new work from local authors:
Amanda Davidson is a San Francisco based writer and multimedia artist who recently spent time as a fellow at the Art Farm Nebraska and the MacDowell Colony. She is an editor of DigitalArtifactMagazine.com and her writing has appeared or is forthcoming in Paul Revere’s Horse, Encyclopedia Vol. F-K, and elsewhere. Find out more at partedinthemiddle.com.
Jason Morris was born in Vermont. His poems & essays have appeared in Forklift Ohio, Parthenon West, Jacket, TRY!, Mirage #4 Period(ical), Ping Pong, and elsewhere. Spirits & Anchors, a chapbook, is forthcoming from Auguste Press. He lives in San Francisco where he edits Big Bell.
Ami Sheth resides in San Francisco where she is in the MFA program at San Francisco State University. There she is working on a collection of non-fiction essays called Let Go and Let Ganesh and a collection of fiction stories entitled When Everything Was Alive At Once. She is the recipient of the Leo Litwak Award for fiction and her work has appeared in Transfer Magazine. Insert random tidbit here—something about cheese, recent safaris (made up,) opinion on state of pop music, or youtube kitten videos addiction.
Michael Francis Rutherglen is from Charlottesville, VA. Some poems of his have appeared in Poetry and The Colorado Review; others are forthcoming in the Antioch Review.
Candra Kolodziej is originally from northern Michigan. She received her MFA from California College of the Arts in 2009. By day she works on finishing her first novel, and by night she fights illiteracy in North Beach as a bookseller at City Lights. She currently lives in a purple house in San Francisco where she dreams of one day owning a pet dog named Boy.
Deborah Wood graduated from NYU and worked in the field of book publishing before moving to San Francisco in 2006. If all goes accordingly she will graduate in May with her MFA. She has published her poetry and fiction in places such as Lungfull, Transfer, Bird Dog, Nimble, EOAGH, Hotel Amerika, and Parthenon West Review. She is a firm believer that a straight line is never the best way to get from point A to point B, and that we should all try and get lost at least once a day.
