Head over to Desperate Literature on Friday night at 8pm for an evening of poetry with James and Marian Womack, reading from James’s newest translations of the great Vladimir Mayakovsky. Thanks go out to Carcanet Press for giving Desperate Literature the rights to print a limited edition pamphlet of the poems to accompany the evening.

Not only will there be poetry, but we’ll also be swilling Vodka like there’s no tomorrow!

On May 22 at 7pm, Madrid-based poet James Womack will be reading from his latest collection, ‘Misprints’ from Carcanet Press, at Desperate Literature – our favorite bookstore. Located near metro Santo Domingo, Desperate Literature sells quality books in different languages and holds delightful and free events like this one, always involving a few bottles of wine and some treats. So don’t miss it!
