LEWIS FREEDMAN recently found himself in Madison, WI and then quickly founded, along with Andy Gricevich, the _______-Shaped Reading Series.

ZACK PIEPER, who you probably know from his various musical projects (Trusty Knife & Farms in Trouble), has also been a prolific reader and writer of the poems since, like, forever. With at least one chapbook, one rock opera, and several records under his belt, Pieper's gonna bring it, y'all.
