Local Authors, Poets to Share Stage at Bob's Espresso Sunday

By Radomir Luza

This Memorial Day weekend be inspired, illuminated, educated and maybe even caught off-guard by a laugh or two.

Bob's Espresso Bar (5251 Lankershim Blvd. in the NoHo Arts District) (across from the Laemmle Theatre) presents its first monthly Sunday Salon this Sunday from 2-4 p.m. in the burgeoning arts mecca that is North Hollywood.

Featuring the work of longtime NoHo resident, playwright, poet and author Mary Anneeta Mann, Sharon Rizk and Radomir Vojtech Luza performing the scintillating performance piece SESSIONS, this is an event not to be missed.

The author of nine books, including THE CONSTRUCTION OF TRAGEDY, THERE ARE NO ENEMIES and ANZAC TO UNDERSTANDING, Mann is a trailblazer and a path finder. Her philosophical, spiritual and metaphysical view of the world gives hope to the underdog and tears down the dictator.  

The imagery, vivid description and use of time, money and the time-space continuum in her work are groundbreaking and humbling. She stands on the ground and reaches for the sky, and most of the time she finds it. That is rare for any artist, male or female, but especially for a woman garnishing a pen these days.  

SESSIONS is a performance piece written by two poets at the same time in the same room. It moves like a hang glider of its own free will. It propels both the therapist and the client in the piece into a whirlwind of rhythm, meter, rhyme and verse.  

The imagery is authentic and deeply vivid and the honesty genuine and sincere.  Both poets derive as much from their own souls as each other's.  

At its best SESSIONS is a tennis match complete with ripe volleys and sharp baseline exchanges. It is something unique that must be heard to be fully understood. The bullet here enters our sub-conscious minds only to never leave.
