The Night of the Smoking Glue Gun

National Poetry Month is upon us, and we decided to get our thirty days o’ verse off to an insanely generous start: we’re offering 20% off all poetry titles at Malvern Books this month! Another good way to kick off a month-long celebration of all things poetic? Hosting a reading with the lovely folks from Smoking Glue Gun! If you’re not familiar with Smoking Glue Gun, be sure to take a look at their awesome online poetry and arts magazine—and you might want to purchase a SGG chapbook or three, too. (Psst, we have some in stock and, yes, they’re available for 20% off, too.)

SGGThanks to everyone who came out last Friday to enjoy an evening of smokin’ literature with readers Taisia Kitaiskaia, Claire Bowman, Meg McKeon, and Scott Hammer (left to right, above). They were a stupendously talented quartet, and we very much look forward to hearing more from the Smoking Glue Gunners in the future. Do check out our footage from the event below. And if you feel inspired to fill the month ahead with a few more bookish escapades, well, you’re in luck—we have heaps of splendid stuff coming up, including an evening with poets Karen Kevorkian and Richard Bailey, and another Everything is Bigger shindig, hosted by the enchanting Tyler Gobble.
