2011 Rattle Poetry Prize finalist Kim Dower and Rattle's founding editor Alan Fox read from their work.

Kim Dower is known throughout the publishing and publicity world as Kim-from-L.A., the name of the company she founded in 1985. In addition to her work as a literary publicist, Kim Dower specializes in media training and coaching authors, speakers, and experts of all kinds how to best present themselves to the media. Her first full-length collection, Air Kissing on Mars, was published by Red Hen Press in 2010.

Alan Fox founded Rattle in 1994, turning what began as a class chapbook into one of the largest and most prestigious literary magazines in the world. In the process, he has interviewed over 60 contemporary poets, a selection of which appeared as Rattle Conversations (Red Hen Press, 2008), and published over 40 of his own poems. This will be Alan Fox's first featured reading in Los Angeles, as he debuts his new manuscript of eight-line poems, Being There.
