This Sunday kicks off the "Two Heads: Collaborating with Ourselves" reading series at downtown Baltimore's Clayton Books. Co-host Rosemary Klein and myself will be featuring writers with 'day jobs' that seem to be in opposition to their literary lives. How do they reconcile their work life with the creative life? Does one influence the other? These are questions all of us who have to 'make the bacon' doing something that has little to nothing to do with who we are as artists (like Insurance Men
Charles Ives and
Wallace Stevens, or the numerous Doctor/Writers from
William Carlos Williams and
Ethan Canin to
Rafael Campo,
Peter Pereira and
C Dale Young)
The readings will be held on the third Sunday of the month at 3 pm from May (5/19) to October (10/19) at
Clayton Fine Books, 317 N. Charles Street, Baltimore.
We kick the series off this week with
Christopher T. George, editor at the
American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and
poet.
