Also this Thursday, a couple guys who swung by Pure Kona last week, Dr. Will and Gianni Gambino of Etch-a-Sketch Comedy Corp., will be serving up some comedy at the Cafe Underground.

Two Treats this Week: Martin Espada and Norm Davis
Martin Espada
November 6: Reading, 7 PM
Flynn Campus Center
Building 3
Monroe Community College
Rochester, NY
Contact: Marie Brandt
http://www.martinespada.net/
Two reasons I’ll be doing my best to check this one out:
First: Nick Hogan, who was kind enough to let me know about this reading, recommended him after seeing him at the Dodge Poetry Festival this year and says he is a tremendous poet.
Second: The first thing I saw when I Googled him was this - Sandra Cisneros says: “MartÃn Espada is the Pablo Neruda of North American authors.”
So how could we miss this? And for free! Nick says, “People should treat themselves and go.” So I’m letting folks know at his, and my own, request.
and
Norm Davis at Books, ETC
Sunday, November 9th at 4:00 PM
Norm Davis will read selection of his poetry. Norm Davis has been a mainstay on the Rochester Poetry scene for many years.
