Godlike: Richard Hell at Beyond Baroque
Thursday, March 19, 7:30 PM PT
In Person at Beyond Baroque
Join us for a solo presentation by Richard Hell, who will be reading from his novel, Godlike. An outrageous spectacle of love between two untamed poets, a 27-year old man and a teenage boy, written by one of America’s original punks and finest writers. Based on Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine’s notorious affair, but set in the epochal downtown poetry scene of filthy 1970s New York, Godlike is a tribute to poetry and the beauty and mess of art, desire, and New York City. Richard Hell will read excerpts from the novel in The Wanda Coleman Theater. Book signing and reception to follow.
