Quick Events Update

Books@Torontoist is super busy today but we’d be remiss if we didn’t list a couple of literary events happening around town tonight. Authors Michelle Alfano, Valentino Assenza, Desi DiNardo, Luciano Iacobelli, Nyla Matuk, Lina Medaglia and Giovanna Riccio will all be taking to the stage at an event provocatively titled “Readings of Poetry and Prose with The (Not So) Nice Italian Girls and Friends.” This free event is at 7 p.m. at Supermarket, 268 Augusta Avenue. And don’t forget the always entertaining Artbar Poetry Series at Clinton’s (693 Bloor Street West), with poets David Bateman, Richard Greene and Cathy Petch appearing tonight (8 p.m., FREE).
