To Do: Mr. Blonde's Hardboiled Poetry Jam
We know that those of you working for "lit" agents probably haven't indulged in anything more literary than writing coverage of an inept script adapted from a horrible novel. Now's your chance to indulge your sophisticated side: At 7 p.m., Book Soup is hosting hardboiled Reservoir Dogs/Kill Bill actor Michael Madsen as he reads from his first book of poetry, 46 Down: A Book of Dreams and Other Ramblings. Sure, you should be wary of actors reading their poetry, especially ones of the B-list variety who refer to their work as "ramblings," but you'll probably be a little more open to the experience if you stop for a happy hour cocktail on the way to the reading.
