Joie Cook is a musician, poet and painter who has recently returned to the Bay Area after a 4 year hiatus in the Northwest. Her many chapbooks include My Body Is a War Toy (Zeitgeist) and Acts of Submission (manic d). Currently, she is an advocate for Hepatitis C research and cures.
Bruce Isaacson founded Zeitgeist Press in San Francisco in order to see into print poets from the Cafe Babar series. In Las Vegas, where he lives currently, Isaacson helps edit the Red Rock Review. In 2000 he made the news after Metro cop and Zeitgeist Press author Harry Fagel was ejected from Barnes & Noble for using "the f-word" in a poetry reading and Isaacson returned with eight other civil guerrillas, selected classics from Barnes & Noble shelves (all containing profanity), and began reading aloud to protest the censorship. Bruce Isaacson has an MFA from Brooklyn College and has published 7 books of poems, including his latest, Ghosts Among the Neon (Zeitgeist, 2005).
Benefit: Zeitgeist Press
Zeitgeist has published over 70 books, primarily poetry from the SF Spoken Word revival of the mid-1980s. Its authors include Jack Micheline, Jack Hirschman, Julia Vinograd, Eli Coppola, Andy Clausen, Sparrow 13, Danielle Willis, Laura Conway, Jennifer Blowdryer, Vampyre Mike, Kathleen Wood and many others.
We will shortly be posting info about readings in October, November and December. Come back & see!
