New Mexican poet Deborah Rasa will read her newly published poem, "Shohko" (Sage Trail Magazine, April 2008). Rasa's edgy, juicy performative poetics, alternately prophetically bold and metaphorically tender, are based on her forthcoming book, "Sexing the Divine, A Poetics of Sacred Desire" [RedThread Press, 2008], from which she will read additional select poems culled from her series titled, "Rinzai Zen." Her impassioned readings performatively delivered have already wowed audiences in the UK and Australia.
