    • New Orleans, LA.
    • 1:00pm

    Poet Vittoria repetto will be reading at the Saints & Sinners Literary Festival, the alternative GLBT literary festival (504-581-1144). In a review of repetto's Not Just A Personal Ad, Chuck Forester wrote: "My joy in reading these poems was [r]epetto's rebel energy. She revels in her lust without avoiding her history.... For her sex is freedom to indulge her desire; it is not possessive but an exchange of pleasure. Growing up in an age when all things sexual were disguised in metaphor, or never mentioned. I found her candor refreshing and stripped of anxiety." Also featuring Aaron Hamburger, Fay Jacobs, Nathan James, Paul Lisicky and Gary Zebrun. included in the Festival Panel Pass. At St. Mary's Salon, The Bourbon Orleans Hotel, 717 Orleans St.
