I am honored to have been invited to participate in the 2019 “In the Company of Laureates” from 1-5pm, this coming Sunday, 10/13, at the Northern Virginia Community College, Woodbridge Campus. I am one of the 4 laureates from Maryland and 1 of 18 laureates from the region who will be reading our works. This free event also includes an Open Mic. Please come and enjoy an afternoon of powerful poetry, and share some of your own. It would be wonderful to see and hear you there. See event flyer below for more details.
