AlteredScale.com Issue 3 Re-launch Launch: George J. Farrah



The raucous AlteredScale.com issue 3 Launch Reading, which began by quoting punk band The Magnolias—"complicated fun"—and ended with a fist-pumping yell, "Let's party," was not video recorded because of technical difficulties. Five of us who participated in the reading came over to christen my new apartment with a....party....and a reading. I made pesto, cole slaw salad, chicken, and guacamole. The Brannens brought fine cookies. Dan and Mary brought bread, cheese, and beer. I was even in dress pants. We were mighty bourgeois. A good time was had by all.

George J. Farrah is a visual artist and poet. His paintings have shown in galleries around the country. His first full-length collection, The Low Pouring Stars (Ravenna Press), will appear later early in 2014. He holds an MFA in writing from Bard College.

(This is the fourth in a five-part series. All five of us are part of the Uptown Writers Group, which includes visual artists and musicians, in addition to writers. If you live in the Twin Cities area and would like to get involved, contact me at jh4090 (at) gmail.com.)
