Great event tonight inspired by Roger Robinson and Portable Paradise with readings by students as well as Cynthia Amoah & Ajanaé Dawkins organized with the help of Peter Hahn
Still dreaming about this launch party. Come hang out with me, Roger Robinson, and Cynthia Amoah this Friday at 7pm at Urban Arts Space! There will be poems, food, drinks, and a little dancing as we create a moment of paradise ❤️
If you’re in Columbus, Ohio, roll through to Urban Arts Space at 7 pm (link in bio). The final event of the Portable Paradise exhibition. I’m reading poems with Roger Robinson, Cynthia Amoah and some local students ❤️🔥 the event is catered and there’s a cash bar.
Another reason to be at Friday night’s free poetry celebration: BOOKS! The Wexner Center for the Arts bookstore will be selling copies of Roger Robinson's “Home Is Not a Place,” along with titles by Danez Smith, Aurielle Marie, & Phillip B. Williams, selected by Ajanaé Dawkins.

These digs in Ohio are kind of fly. Nice place to come back to after eight days of talking all things poetry.
