Field Trip May 11, 2013: Shook poetry event

A Rave Review:  David Shook’s book release event on May 11, 2013 at the landmark Neutra VDL house of glass in Silver Lake, Los Angeles was intimate and down to earth.  This champagne social and celebration of the release of Shook’s new poetry book, Our Obsidian Tongues http://davidshook.net/, was an unforgettable evening of literary arts.  Shook entertained his enthusiastic and attentive guests with his sharp wit and disarming humor.  His poetry, however, was the main attraction, captivating and mesmerizing all who listened.  The performance included a surprise poetry reading with Mexican poet, Gaspar Orozco.  The performance concluded with a book signing and plenty of great conversation.
