Poeticizing at Toledo's Artomatic 419 This Weekend

I mentioned a few blog posts ago that Smith, Lady, Borsenik and I will will be colliding with Cinema3956 this Saturday evening (18 April) from 6 to midnight in the Detroit suburb of Farmington.  I didn't know it then, but Borsenik and I will be performing another gig on the way there.  We'll be joining the Toledo contingent of 100 Thousand Poets for Change for a reading at Artomatic 419 (located at 600 Jefferson) from 2 to 4 p.m.  Thanks to Jonie McIntire for inviting us.  I've performed at a few Artomatics in years gone by and it's always a cool place to be.

Colliding with Cinema3956 in Detroit on 18 April

Poets Dianne Borsenik, Steven Smith, Kathy Smith and I will be reading in the Detroit area Saturday 18 April.  This is only my second Detroit area performance ever, the first being way back in 2009.  Here are more details, courtesy of the Farmington Voice:

"The Soul Collective of Collaborative Arts will host some of the area’s most talented poets and artists at an April 18 benefit for S.O.U.L. Source of Universal Love, a Farmington area charity.
