N.Y.C. Cincinnati Editor’s Letter Jen Hyde Peter Bogart Johnson 29 Lara Lorenzo 31 Tsaurah 33 Sade 28 30 32 Tony Iantosca Litzky Murphy Here are a few words from our Cincinnati editor, Yvette Nepper, on her city and its poetry community. —DAK I had no idea what I was getting into when asked to help curate Cincinnati artists for The Portable Boog Reader 9. Outside of being a person who enjoys writing, reading, and forming community around art-stuff, I have zero credentials. In spite of this, Cincinnati’s magic unicorn, Dana Ward recommended me for the job, so naturally, I accepted—having had no idea how many emails need be exchanged to launch this sort of thing. A lot. Having said that, it’s been a real honor to hype some of the weird and wonderful poetry coming out of the Queen City. Working with the editorial staff to connect some dots between Brooklyn and Cincinnati just makes me feel good, and I hope it makes you feel good too. In the past few years I’ve developed a better understanding of what’s possible in regards to community, friendship, and alliance, through art. The contributing Cincinnati writers featured here are people who have devoted substantial amounts of time to, not only writing, but also hanging out and forming a community with other artists. For example, Chelsea Tadeyeske runs a chill and cozy event space out of her commune/home under the title Alt Milk House. And contributing writer, Scott Holzman continues to curate family-vibe events at the venue upstairs from the barbershop, called Chase Public. Cincinnati has a reputation for being obnoxiously conservative (see 1990’s Mapplethorpe Obscenity Trial), which is why it’s so important for us to develop safe spaces and counter-culture. Actually, I feel like it’s out strength. So if you ever come to Cincinnati to pursue some art, make sure you stop by one of the many living rooms we have tucked around the city. And then ask someone to take you out to eat for your obligatory Cincinnati chili parlor experience. —Yvette Nepper Molly Rose Quinn 34 Ann Stephenson 35 Alan 36 Semerdjian 37 Carl Watson WWW.BOOGCITY.COM BOOG CITY 3 BOOG CITY 3 WWW.BOOGCITY.COM
