CLAUDIA CARLSON: A CELEBRATION OF LIFE

ROGER SMITH HOTEL 151 LEXINGTON AVE @ 47TH STREET New York City Saturday, April 9, 2016 2:00 pm

Claudia Carlson, poet, photographer and designer of more than fifty Marsh Hawk Press titles, passed away this January. You are invited to attend this memorial offered by her family and friends to celebrate her life and talent. Come share stories & memories. Poetry - Chocolate - Laughter - Hugs - Spring Refreshments - Love Map and Information about the Roger Smith Hotel

Before she passed, Claudia completed her third and final collection of poetry, My Chocolate Sarcophagus.  Of this book Mary Mackey writes: "The twenty-three poems in Claudia Carlson's My Chocolate Sarcophagus combine raw courage and absolute beauty. Powerful, poignant, ecstatically lyrical, and beautifully crafted, they present us with an unflinching contemplation of mortality that never descends into sentimentality. In these poems, Carlson brings us an important message from the edge of life." Please visit our web site for more information about this title

PAOLO JAVIER PART OF EXPERIMENTAL SHORT FILMS!

Lynn Sachs and Sean Hanley's film, "Starfish Aorta Colossus," which is based on a poem by Paolo Javier is one of eight experimental shorts featured HERE--go to link for more information:

Presented in association with the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive 
Co-sponsored by San Francisco Cinematheque

Curated by Kathy Geritz and Vanessa O’Neill

Eight artist-made films explore things that pass between us. Songs, stories and trinkets are handed down from one generation to the next. Ghosts of the past take shape in the present, haunting cityscapes and backyards. Friends and family come together to build a house, read a poem, share traditions and construct a film. Featuring work by Alexandre Larose, Jodie Mack, Adele Horne, Jonathan Schwartz, Zach Iannazzi, Scott Stark, Lynne Sachs, Sean Hanley and Sky Hopinka.
