Vlak magazine launch

This reading marks the release of Vlak, a new magazine focusing on "contemporary poetics, art, film, philosophy, music, science, design, politics, performance, ecology and new media." That's a pretty expansive beat, but first-issue contributors and event readers Pierre Joris, Eileen Myles, Elizabeth Gross, Marjorie Wellish, Vincent Katz, Arlo Quint, Stacy Szymaszek, John Wilkinson, Jess Fiorini, Joshua Cohen, Stephanie Strickland and Louis Armand seem to be up to the task.
