James Kaelan will be reading from his book, We’re Getting On, at The Avid Reader at 617 2nd Street, Davis, as part of his Zero Emission Book Project bike tour (from Los Angeles to Vancouver).
A recent coverman for Poets & Writers magazine, James Kaelan is the former web editor/co-founder of Flatmancrooked, a full-service, independent online and print publishing house established in 2008. He graduated with a BA in English & Creative Writing from the University of California, Davis, after which he earned his Fiction MFA at Boston University. He writes for The Sweet Science and Bedlam Magazine in LA. His first novel, Brute, is forthcoming in 2010. He is also the author of We’re Getting On, which is part of the Zero Emission Book Project. The first edition of We’re Getting On has birch seeds embedded in the cover, which means that if the novel is planted in the ground, it grows into a tree – thus offsetting its production emissions. The book tour is carbon-neutral as well. James will not only forego using any fossil-fueled vehicles by riding his bike 1,900 miles, but he’ll also be eating only organic, local produce.
This special event is co-hosted by the Avid Reader and the Poetry Night Reading Series. The Poetry Night Reading Series, hosted by Andy Jones and produced by Brad Henderson, occurs on the first Wednesday of the month at Bistro 33, and third Thursday of the month at the John Natsoulas Gallery, both at 8 P.M., with an open microphone segment at 9 P.M.
