AWP Off-Site Events.

This list is not even comprehensive. For instance, there's a cool event at Myopic Books that features poets featured in Coconut Mag Online and Coconut Books.

On Thursday, I really want to go to the Quickies reading, and/or the MAKE Reading and Dance Party (it's at The Hideout and features one of my favorites, Abraham Smith).

Friday, I'd love to hit up the Red Rover Series Small Press Showcase because my friend Scott Pierce's effing press will be there, as well as Ugly Duckling Presse, Action Books (they did Tao Lin's first book of poetry), and others. A lot of the presses at this showcase focus on young writers, contemporary work in translation, underrepresented poetries, etc., and they all produce gorgeous books.

Saturday, there's the aforementioned Coconut event at Myopic, which is competing with the Fence Magazine event.

What do other people want to do?

It's so overwhelming. I'm still sorting through the schedule...
