The Good Times Are Back, Again.

Michael Reid Busk brings back the '80s.

Stacy Gnall reads a bone-chilling poem about MURDER!

Sexual Napalm about to explode.

KZ launches her solo career.

So does Stewart Grace.

Lisa Locascio reads a Love Story (with cocaine, prostitutes, and strippers).

Aaron Belz began with his accessible poems and then read the more artistically relevant ones.

SUMMER MAY BE ENDING, BUT WE ARE NOT

It's Autumn in Los Angeles which can only mean two things: It's time to hook up the garden hose and spray down the roof. And it's time to put on your fancy socks and slide out the door for the first LOUDEST VOICE of the 2010/2011 season.


Featuring fiction and poetry from the too hot to touch:


MICHAEL REID BUSK
STACY GNALL

AARON BELZ, author of Lovely, Raspberry (Persea, 2010)

"Aaron Belz's poetry reminds us that poetry should be bright, friendly, surprising, and totally committed to everything but itself. Reading him is like dreaming of a summer vacation and then taking it." - John Ashbery
