It's that time again!

Multifarious Array is proud to present Vancouver-based poet and activist, Stephen Collis, who is celebrating the NYC release of his book, Dispatches From the Occupation (Talon Books, 2012).

And he is joined by Monica Peck and Frank Sherlock, coming all the way from Oakland and Philly respectively.

Note: this reading is on a Saturday, not Friday as usual.

Be there!
