Happy Friday, Seized readers. The purpose of this brief “What’s Coming” post is to tell you about an exciting poetry reading happening this weekend. Should you be unable to come, read on and link to the collections of three accomplished NC poets; these are books you might enjoy exploring. I have also included a photo and link to my collection, Excavating Light. Are you within driving distance of Greensboro, North Carolina? If so, come hear some great verse this Sunday, beginning at 1:00 pm at Oden Brewing, 802 West Gate City Blvd. in Greensboro. Also, an open mic follows! This is a great opportunity to read your verse to a warm and welcoming audience.
