Pamela August Russell at Chevalier’s Books

The author will be signing copies of her book B is for Bad Poetry on Saturday, November 14th, from 11 am to 1 pm at Chevalier’s in Larchmont Village.

Pamela August Russell started off her writing career in third grade when she won a statewide short-story contest. Later she moved west to San Francisco where she created the Better Off Dead Poets Society with her partner Alison Gallant. Together, they made their way through the spoken word circuit and garnered a cult-like following. Russell was also a regular reader and host at the infamous Sister Spit in San Francisco. She has published short stories and poetry in several anthologies, including Virgin Territory and Nothing Moments.

B is for Bad Poetry is her first book of poetry. Her poems mock, chide, accuse, tease, joke, undermine, point, and laugh at the world around us — and at anything that takes itself too seriously. Her non-canonical oeuvre includes Tea For Two (A Tragedy); Nietzsche And The Ice-Cream Truck; Capitalism Can Fall Not Like I Fell For You; Inappropriately Touched By An Angel; Love Is Like A Toilet Bowl; and many more.
