Thinking Green with
Jacob Russell, Paul Siegell & Anne-Adele Wight

Jacob, Willard and Goby work together as a creative collective. Writing under the name, Jacob Russell, they have published three chapbooks, many poems, and have four books of poetry searching for publishers. He is also author of the novel Ari Figue’s Cat. Since 2012, they have been making visual art, signed with the name on their birth certificate—Willard. In recent years, Jacob, Willard and Goby (their most recent go-to name) have been writing serial poems, interconnected, but in no particular order, or rather—ordered to the mood of the occasion—as will be the case at this reading.

Paul Siegell is the author of Take Out Delivery (Spuyten Duyvil, 2018), as well as wild life rifle fire, jambandbootleg and Poemergency Room. He is a senior editor at Painted Bride Quarterly and has contributed to American Poetry Review, Black Warrior Review, Rattle, and many other fine journals. Kindly find more of his work – and concrete poetry t-shirts – at ReVeLeR @ eYeLeVeL (http://paulsiegell.blogspot.com) and @paulsiegell.

Anne-Adele Wight is the author of The Age of Greenhouses (2016), Opera House Arterial (2013), and Sidestep Catapult (2011), all from BlazeVOX. Her work has appeared in diverse publications including American Writing, Philadelphia Poets, Mad Poets Review, Apiary, Fairies in America, Jupiter 88, Luna Luna, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and Bedfellows. Anne-Adele’s work has received awards from Philadelphia Poets Magazine, the Philadelphia Writers’ Conference, and the Sandy Crimmins Poetry Competition.
