Bill Gainer,Todd Cirillo and Will Staple read from the book--Roxy!

Roxy: Is after hours poetry; when the lights go down and the memory of last call has faded into the exhaled smoke of a bummed cigarette-Roxy comes to life.The poems are rooted in the street,caress (no slam!) the frailties of the human relationship, lean toward the erotic and show that honest poetry,feelings and emotions,cannot be confined by political correctness.In fact,Roxy is not a political correct collection.Cirillo,Gainer and Staple don’t tell those gentle lies. a blurb from the poet, Ann Menebroker about Roxy: …”comes along three poets who write from their perspective of life.Staple reminds of us how “few the nights content of heart/to sit with a friend/in one candle’s light”Gainer writes that “you can beat the fight out of someone/ but to kill the will/was to shatter the angels”and Cirillo,in the poet Rumi’s expansive way says “I’m getting that big-feeling again”..You don’t have to be a poet to love these poems.You just have to have a heart beating behind your ribcage.”
