Join us on TONIGHT!! The perfect way to spend a raining Sunday evening. Tea, Cookies, Poetry and Stories.
Sunday, March 6th 7:30PM at Woodfolk House (912 Woodfolk Dr) for an amazing evening of readings. Kristina Weaver and Sam Taylor will be inter-weaving their stories and poetry; more on their work below. Both are phenomenal writers and readers. Spread the word, this event is FREE and open the public.
To complete her PhD in Geography and English, Kristina conducted over thirty interviews with people who had been involved in Nigeria's 1990s pro-democracy student movement, as well as in a secret network of underground gangs known as "campus cults." These interviews provided material for a book of fictionalized, interlocking short stories, which explore the routes by which individuals become entangled in performances of struggle, violence, and redemption. She will read a selection of these stories, which evoke vivid sounds, smells, sights, tastes, and emotions as experienced by ordinary Nigerian youth caught up in extraordinary circumstances.
Sam Taylor is a widely-published poet whose work ranges from the mystical to the political. His first book, Body of the World, was primarily concerned with exploring the perennial themes of mysticism—world as self; self as world—in a variety of contemporary contexts, and he is currently completing a new collection of poems that lyrically engage with history, politics, and the ecological urgency of our contemporary moment. His work has been published in such magazines as The New Republic, Orion, The Hudson Review, AGNI, Michigan Quarterly Review, and Poetry Daily. www.samtaylor.us
