STEVE KOWIT
reading from  "The Dumbbell Nebula"

Saturday, April 19th, 7 P.M.


Roy Mash is a long time board member of the Marin Poetry Center. In a previous life he held degrees in English, Philosophy, and Computer Science.  His poems have appeared widely in journals such as Agni, Atlanta Review, Barrow Street, Nimrod, Passages North, Poetry East, Rhino, and River Styx. Buyer's Remorse is a celebration of the small, the overlooked,  and the underrated. Doggedly anti-lofty, reveling in the This-Worldly, the poems caper around the themes of the body, of mathematics and rationality, adolescence and middle-age, love and fear and death. The tone ranges from the irreverent to the wistful – the spritz of seltzer in the face of the Creature from the Black Lagoon to the lover standing in one sock. Drawing on sources from The Three Stooges to Archimedes, Lavoisier to Tweety Bird, Mash is a latter day Anti-Oracle, a nail in the tire of post-modernity, an incorrigible wag who's smuggled his pea shooter into the Church of Poetry. Be ready to duck.

Steve Kowit is the Poet Laureate of San Diego. He studied poetry with Ned O'Gorman at Brooklyn College, Stanley Kunitz at the 92nd Street Y, and Robert Lowell at the New School for Social Research. Kowit has taught at Southwestern College and San Diego State University for many years. His books include Lurid Confessions;Crossing Borders; The First Noble Truth; The Gods of Rapture; and In the Palm of Your Hand; and he edited the noted anthology The Maverick Poets.
