Amiri Baraka Reading
Ah... Skylight Books. How I love to linger and peruse you aisle by aisle. And now you're even hosting one of my favorite poets of all time. Formally known as LeRoi Jones, then inspired by Malcolm X gave up his slave name, Amiri Baraka was an important voice in the San Francisco Beat scene. Black History books and plays also fall under his impressive body of work. He reads from his new collection of short stories Tales of the Out and Gone Thursday at 7:30pm.Amiri Baraka in person

Los Feliz
A Poem for Speculative Hipsters
Amiri Baraka
He had got, finally,
to the forest
of motives. There were no
owls, or hunters. No Connie Chatterleys
resting beautifully
on their backs, having casually
brought socialism
to England.
Only ideas,and their opposites
Like,he was reallynowhere.Pudgy Girl at 16:26
