Go to a poetry reading or sloth around the house in your Slanket? Tough choice. Well, now you can do both, because the eighth installment of HTMLGIANT's Live Giants online reading series is tonight. In honor of the release of Mary Ruefle’s Selected Poems, local poets in Chicago and New York—including such comrades of Harriet as Matthea Harvey, Suzanne Buffam, Jordan Davis, Dorothea Lasky, and Jaswinder Bolina— will read from Ruefle's work. The readings will be streaming live, so sit in front of your computer, Slanket or no, and enjoy.
