[NEohioPAL] Latitudes Poetry Night in Akron!

[Theresa Gottl Brightman]

*Latitudes Poetry Night*
*featuring Jeremy Mark Ritch*
*Wednesday, February 19 @ 6pm*
*Compass Coffee*

*647 E. Market St, Akron, OH 44304*


Reading will begin with Open Mic at 6pm, followed by our featured reader at
7pm.

*Jeremy Mark Ritch* is a poet, artist, and author from Cleveland, OH. He
was written six books and been featured in several publications. Jeremy has
been writing poetry for 25 years, beginning as a punk rock poet in the
mid-'90s and finally publishing his first full collection of poetry,
Sidewalk Stories and other Poems, in 2013. He is an ex-minister, recovering
drug addict and alcoholic, and is being treated from PTSD. His writing and
art often deal with these issues as well as the realities of living in a
broken world. Having spent time in PHiladelphia as both an addict and
outreach worker, and then Atlanta, GA as well as Harrisburg, PA as a
minister, Jeremy has many a story to tell. He has been compared to American
poet Allen Ginsberg, due to his modern beat poet style, though his writing
stands on its own as a testament to his survival and continued journey
through this messy life.

*Latitudes takes place every 3rd Wednesday of the month, starting at 6pm.*
