Before I depart for my monthly Sharing Creativity Poetry Critique Workshop, I wanted to let you all know that I’ll be reading at the Unamplified Voices Open Mic next Tuesday the 26th at 7pm. The open mic is held in the Blake Street Studios, 300 Blake Street in Raleigh. I’ll be reading a few poems from Wednesday Night Regular and will bring a few books to sell too.
I’ll share the Facebook event on my poet page there.
