On November 2, I’ll be one of a number of poets reading at the second annual November 3rd Club showcase at the Bowery Poetry Club, NYC. (From the official announcement: "Victor D. Infante hosts a night of poetry & politics to celebrate the "November 3rd Club" online literary journal of political writing. Readers include Patricia Smith, Alicia Ostriker, Marty McConnell, Tara Betts, Kirpal Gordon, Tony Brown, Skip Shea, Madeline Artenberg, Iris Schwartz, Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz, Michael Cirelli and Lea Deschenes. Seriously. That’s not a reading. That’s agod-damned revolution. "

And after the Duende show on the 9th, I’ll be winging my way out to Columbus, Ohio for a solo show at Kafe Kerouac on November 12.
