SCCA presents Insight and Expression this Saturday

Friends at the S.O.U.L. Collective of Collaborative Arts near Detroit have recently christened their new gallery and performance space, and this Saturday several other friends and I will head up there to share poetry and celebrate with them.

August 8th from 7pm to midnight SCCA's featured poets will include me, Ohioans Dianne Borsenik and Michael Ceraolo, Erie's Chuck Joy and Thasia Anne, and Detroit's own Tawana Honeycomb Perry.  There will also be an open mic, prizes,  music, work by various local artists and more.

This event also serves as the official release celebration for Michael Ceraolo's new chapbook, Readings / The Road, published by Crisis Chronicles Press.

It all happens at The S.O.U.L. Community House, 32905 Grand River Avenue in Farmington, Michigan.  Special thanks to William Burkholder, Matvey Troitsky and Ginger Wiechers for always being so welcoming to us traveling poets.
