Three Literary Readings This Week

When it comes to the literary arts in the Baltimore area, it seems there are always a number of events going on. This week is a perfect example, with three exciting literary readings to choose from.

This Thursday, November 13, at 8 p.m. is the next Speak Freely event at Studio 221. I’ll be one of the featured readers this time around, joined by Ron Williams, Christine Stewart, and Fernando Quijano III, among others. There will be an open mic session, and refreshments. The event takes place at 221 W. Saratoga Street, Baltimore, MD 21201. Join us for an evening of speaking freely.

This Saturday, November 15 there are two back-to-back reading events to enjoy – and each one promises to deliver.

I’ll be one of the featured readers at a Constellation Books presentation of New Lines from the Old Line State: An Anthology of Maryland Writers. Other featured readers include Lauren Beth Eisenberg, Scott E. Frias, Sally Whitney, Frank S. Joseph, Mary Stojak, and Laura Shovan. The event takes place from 3 to 5 p.m. at Constellation Books, 303 Main Street in Reisterstown, www.constellationbooks.com.


The 510 reading series, hosted by Jen Michalski and Michael Kimball, presents its first nonfiction-focused reading event at Minas Gallery, 815 W. 36th St., Hampden. Featured readers include Deborah Rudacille, Lia Purpura, and Brian Eden. The event takes place at 5 p.m. on every third Saturday of the month.

Come to one, come to all, and enjoy all that Baltimore’s active literary scene has to offer.
