Reading at Indi Go Saturday night

I'll be part of a reading/concert this Saturday (9/22) at Indi Go Artist Co-Op in Champaign. 

Joining me: Lania Knight and Roxane Gay, both writers who teach at Eastern Illinois University at Charleston, and singer-songwriter Jeff Arrigo. We start at 8 p.m. Indi Go is at 9 East University in Champaign. We'll have refreshments and books and CDs for sale. No cover.

Roxane is a fiction writer who has had work published recently in a number of high-powered places. Lania's first book, Three Cubic Feet, was published recently by Main Street Rag. Jeff's first CD, Gideon, features his signature folk-blues storytelling style.

I'll be reading new poetry as well as work from Small Economies, and Open Communion.
