Reading at the Columbus Arts Festival June 4th
I'll be a part of several poetry events this month, including another PoetryElyria, a benefit for NoKidHungry in Perrysburg and our final Lix and Kix Poetry Extravaganza in Lakewood (for now). After June, I plan to take a break from live reading and event hosting, with one exception: I'm helping organize an event in Elyria on September 24th in conjunction with the 100 Thousand Poets for Change project (more details on that in the near future). Maybe if Harold Camping's wrong about the world ending on October 21st, I'll get back in the game. Maybe not. In many ways it's been a great ride.

Looks like after we leave Columbus we'll be going directly to Adrian, Michigan to read at the Croswell Opera House. That'll and six hours during and another open mic to and already all-day affair - but it should be very cool.
