The Poetry Unbound reading series, which unites literature lovers on the first Sunday of every month, is taking a pugilistic turn this week with readings from Fightin' Words: 25 Years of Provocative Poetry and Prose from The Blue-Collar PEN. Readers include Andrena Zawinski, whose poem What About a Fight? traces a lifetime's worth of male aggression, as well as fellow Fightin' Words contributors Andy Ross, John Curl, Judith Cody, and more. With stories about radical politics, social justice, and everyday ass-kickers, only the serene setting of the Art House Gallery will keep this gathering from erupting into a battle royale.
Poetry Unbound #22 starts at 5 p.m., Art House Gallery, 2905 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley. $5; (510) 472-3170 or berkeleyarthouse.wordpress.com. Giselle Velazquez
