Riot Act Reading Series
by Max Ross
What transpires at a typical session of the Riot Act Reading Series is
something like a poetry slam without the pretense, which is to say the
readers rarely delve into the realm of performance art, instead focusing – gasp! – on their actual content. One of those rare literary events that showcases literature, this Sunday’s fare includes readings by local writers Laura Brandenburg, Paula Cisewski, Paul D. Dickinson, and Sam Osterhaut. Stick around after the readings, and listen to Dreamland Faces play their tangos and waltzes on their weapons of choice: an accordion and a singing saw.
Sunday at 7 p.m., Turf Club, 1601 University Ave., St. Paul; 651-647-0486; $3.
