Tonight, the coffeehouse-cum-lounge Lucky Cat sets up the lectern for another installment of EARSHOT, a boffo Williamsburg reading series. Since 2005, the prose-and-poetry program has hewn to host/curator/founder Nicole Steinberg's mix-and-match custom: three MFA-ers and two at-large slots that are filled by scribes in their salad days or those with their bona fides. Flavorpill's poet laureate Jess Sauer graces this evening's session with her precise, samsaric verse. As in Pound's sculpted translations, her primordial and incantatory images fuse into loosely formal and impressionistic poems, ones that radiate the aura of being from the desolate ends of our known world.
