This month's installation of the RADAR reading series features Eileen Myles, Miranda Mellis, Lorna Dee Cervantes, and Nate Lippins, four awesome writers reading their work (and giving out cookies!). It's a participatory event, so come ready for the Q & A.

The RADAR Reading Series is a monthly event which invites underground and emerging writers and artists to present their work and engage in a lively conversation with the RADAR audience. Since its beginning at the San Francisco Public Library in 2003, the RADAR Reading Series has hosted over seven hundred writers and artists at all stages of their careers, from zinesters and slam poets to first-time novelists to critically acclaimed artists.
