Join us for a night of poetry as we celebrate local poets Nadia Wolnisty and Paul Koniecki's book launch for YOU GOTTA LET IT GO BEFORE IT TAKES YOU OVER! 

About the Book

You Gotta Let It Go Before It Takes You Over is a book of poems you can read in the bathtub or in the DMV. 

Bob Kaufman and William Burroughs are gone. Elvis, Dorothy Parker, and Judy Garland are never really dead. Four poets, and one mad-cap editor who wishes he was The King. Strange bedfellows still require a bed, and that sleep-number mattress dear readers, is you.

About the Authors

She has two chapbooks Cringe-Worthy Poetry Finishing Line Press. Her first full-length was published by Spartan. A third chapbook is forthcoming from Dancing Girl Press.

His chapbook, Reject Convention, was published by Kleft Jaw Press. Richard Bailey’s film, “One Of The Rough” contains several of Paul’s poems and was shown at The Berlin Experimental Film Festival in December of 2016. He once featured at the Fermoy International Poetry Festival in Fermoy, Ireland where he saw a real live unicorn walk into a bar. Paul’s poetry has been published in multiple online and print publications.
