Poetry at Paul’s Chupadero presents Nathan Brown, Saturday, February 13th at 2pm
Pot luck, open mic, directions below
| Nathan Brown is a poet, musician, photographer, or problem… depending on who’s talking. His mission is to take back poetry from the academic grip of the ivory tower and the brooding, beret-sporting-village-types who too often use poetry for personal therapy. Nevertheless he has a PhD in English and teaches professional and creative writing at the University of Oklahoma. He has published five books of poetry. The most recent, Two Tables Over, won the 2009 Oklahoma Book Award. And his new album, Gypsy Moon, was released just in time for Christmas 2009. We welcome him to New Mexico and look forward to these new songs, poems, and stories. For more about Nathan Brown visit |
Directions to Paul’s from Santa Fe:
Take Highway 285 North. Get off at the first Tesuque exit #168 which says “Tesuque North CR73.” Go (about 2 1/2 miles) through Tesuque past the Tesuque Village Market, El Nido and the Post Office.
Then turn right on Route 592 and go 3 1/2 miles to the stop sign at the top of the hill. Turn left at the stop sign (this is still Route 592) and go down 1 mile into the Chupadero valley.
At the green street sign turn left on Camino Chupadero (CR78). Go another .9 (nine tenths) of a mile. On the left you’ll see an old plank wood fence (not a coyote fence), then four white mailboxes at end of fence marked 92 ABC.
Slow down, the driveway is hidden.
-Go left immediately after the mailboxes, down the paved driveway. At the bottom, take a sharp right onto the dirt driveway. You have arrived!
