DESCRIPTION:Indescribable... Indestructible...\nThe Jack Daniels Sessions EP Summer 
 Book Tour 2011!\n\nJoin writer and performance artist Elwin Cotman for the 
 west coast launch of his debut short story collection, The Jack Daniels 
 Sessions EP!\n\nAlso appearing is writer Kim Vodicka, a performance/sound 
 lyric poet out of New Orleans who will be traveling with her 
 chapbook.\n\nBoth are emerging artists, and are also dynamic and 
 experienced performers.\n\nPublished by Six Gallery Press, The Jack Daniels 
 Sessions EP is a collection of folktale-based works which address America's 
 complex racial dynamics. Rather than offer mere escape, these stories 
 tackle the often hard lessons of history head-on.\n\nAccording to Michael 
 S. Begnal, author of Ancestor Worship: "Mr. Cotman's interests are 
 wide-ranging. Punk rock intersects with D.C.'s Dominican community, 
 African-American folktale intersects with Greek myth, Goth teen suburban 
 angst in 1990s Ohio sits side by side with racist atrocity in the pre-Civil 
 Rights South, and magic is going on. Yeah, there's magic in some of these 
 stories, but the real magic is in Cotman's words themselves--stark and 
 deadpan one moment, lushly descriptive the next."\n\nA storyteller in the 
 traditional sense, Cotman has traveled the country, enthralling audiences 
 with his unique mix of fiction, music and song. Having honed his skills in 
 the Washington DC open mic scene, he has gained a reputation as a dynamic 
 mixed-media performer. A former resident of the Cyberpunk Apocalypse 
 Writers Cooperative, Cotman has also been published in The Front Weekly, 
 The Fairfield Review, Outsider Ink and The Dirty Napkin.

 the novelty of nail biting faded (~age 13). Alas, her hard(ly) work(ing) 
 has paid off, as she is currently an MFA in Poetry Candidate at LSU. Kim 
 has been published in Shampoo and Ekleksographia. \n
