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.
