Featuring Jamie Keaton and Dani Oliver * *Thursday, August 16, 7pm* *Bluff Blue Door Gallery **152 Bluff St, Akron, OH 44304* Our next summer poetry session at Bluff Blue Door Gallery will feature Jamie Keaton and Dani Oliver! It's summer time, so let's have a double feature! On 16August, we will be hosting two local poets: Jamie Keaton and Dani Oliver... *Jamie Keaton* “My mama used to say if you can’t find something to live for you best find something to die for” (Tupac Shakur). Jamie is a spoken word poet, activist, student, and actor studying criminal justice and political science. They have a passion for giving a voice to the voiceless - fighting against the oppression of black people, LGBT folks, Women, and immigrants. *Dani Oliver* Dani is a non-binary turnip, marinated in feelings and lemon zest. They like to hide in streams and under rocks. During the day, you'll likely find them studying French and sociology at The University of Akron. Their work is ethereal and sentimental with a dash of grit.
