The heralded author of the poetry collections No Real Light, Disfortune, and It Is If I Speak; the epistolary novel Letters to Wendy's, and the collection of essays The Holy Spirit of Life: Essays for John Ashcroft's Secret Self, will perform his work -poems, songs, and short silent film clips--in the darkened third floor of Davis's most majestic gallery. The critic Ben Marcus has commented that "Joe Wenderoth is a brilliant writer, original and subversive, sensitive and strange. I read his work with awe and admiration." Come early to this unforgettable event. Viewer Discretion is Advised. No Host Bar.
