In conjunction with the exhibition "Gladly Will I Sell For Profit, Dear Merchants of the Town, My Hat Laden With Snow," the artists Aeron Bergman and Alejandra Salinas have invited authors Charles Bernstein and Corina Copp to read from their recent works.

Charles Bernstein will be reading from his two recent books, All the Whiskey in Heaven:Selected Poems (Farrar, Straus and Giroux), new in paperback; and Attack of the Difficult Poems: Essays and Inventions (University of Chicago Press). He is Regan Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Pennsylvania. More info: epc.buffalo.edu.

She's the author of a few chapbooks, with Green Rayon (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2011) and Marauder (Minutes Books, 2011) forthcoming. Recent plays include WALTZ (E. 13th St. Rep Theater, July 2010), and Tell No One (SPT Poets Theater Fest., Jan 2011; Invisible Dog Arts Center, July 2011). A trilogy of short performance installations will be presented in October and November at This Red Door/PS122 Gallery.
