"Idiot Parade" Chapbook Release Party

at Uncorked Wine Bar, Akron OH

May 12 2018

Come celebrate the release of AST March fellow Gabe Gott’s chapbook “Idiot Parade”, featuring blackout poems, traditional poems, and flash fiction works created during his fellowship.

“Idiot Parade” is Gabe Gott’s second collection of poetry (his first, Live Organ Transplants, was published in January 2017). Many of the poems included in “Idiot Parade” were written during Gabe’s March 2018 Akron Soul Train Fellowship and are a mix of blackout poetry and traditional free verse poetry. It contains both deeply personal and politically charged poems, featuring such titles as “Expectations,”  “Babble,” “Loneliness,” and “Refresh.”

Gabe will read selected works from his new chapbook at 6:30pm followed by a performance from Kent garage rock band DD Moto to close out the night.

Signed copies of “Idiot Parade” will be for sale for $10. Light hors d’oeuvre will be provided.

This event is free for all.
