Howard Zinn Book Fair

Revolutionary Poets Who Changed the World. Handle these poems with care: they are fully armed.

Poets in the new anthology Overthrowing Capitalism, Volume 4, published by the Revolutionary Poets Brigade, will read some of their favorite revolutionary poems, plus their own poem from the new anthology. Tentative lineup of poets includes Mahnaz Badihian, Lisbit Bailey, Judith Ayn Bernhard, John Curl, Agneta Falk, Martin Hickel, Jack Hirschman, Sarah Menefee, Barbara Paschke, Gregory Pond.

From 10 am until 6 pm
