[NEohioPAL] Ohio's Poet Laureate Dave Lucas reads in Akron!

[Theresa Gottl Brightman]

 *Dave Lucas, Ohio's current and second-ever Poet Laureate will be reading
his poems and answering questions at November's Latitudes Poetry Night!*


*Wednesday, November 21 at 7pm*
*Compass Coffee (647 E. Market St, Akron 44304)*

Dave Lucas’s first poetry collection, Weather, was published in 2011 by
University of Georgia Press and was awarded the 2012 Ohioana Book Award for
Poetry. Shortly after publication, former U.S. Poet Laureate Rita Dove
named him as one of thirteen “young poets to watch.” His poetry has been
anthologized in The Bedford Introduction to Literature and Best New Poets
2005; and has appeared in such journals as The American Poetry Review,
Blackbird, The Paris Review, Poetry, Slate, The Threepenny Review and
Virginia Quarterly Review.  In 2012, Lucas co-founded Brews and Prose, a
monthly literary series hosted at Market Garden Brewery. He served as the
program’s Creative Director from its inception through 2017. In 2016, he
served as the inaugural William N. Skirball Writers’ Center
writer-in-residence at the Cuyahoga County Public Library.

After Dave's reading, there will also be an opportunity to read your own
poems (or those of others) during open mic!
