A duo of poets published by Gival Press, an Arlington, Virginia-based literary press that publishes in English, French, and Spanish, visit Seattle as part of the Modern Language Association's national convention gathering in the city this week, and read together here this evening. Clifford Bernier, founder and former host of the Washington D.C.-area poetry series, Poesis, reads from his collection The Silent Art, which has been nominated for a 2011 Pushcart Prize. Joining him is poet and screenwriter Cecilia Martínez-Gil, with her new collection, Psaltery and Serpentines. "Clifford Bernier's The Silent Art is a beautiful jazz symphony sweetened with the zen of everydayness and a 'double bass blues for Trane' ... This cat has great chops in the poetry and jazz of life." – M.L. Lieber. "Psaltery and Serpentine kisses its readers on the mouth so that the poetry become 'the ripe fruit to ... lips' ... Cecilia Martínez-Gil welcomes the reader into the world of poetry as a partner in the creative act, and readers engage this book-length seduction as tango partners and 'symphonic creatures.'" – Rich Murphy.
