Hot Poetry Sets Grass on Fire

This Sunday’s Lit & Art at the Watermark is sure to be a scorcher. That’s because poets featured in the anthology Life in Me Like Grass on Fire will set the event ablaze with their poetry. Fourteen of the fifty poets featured in the anthology will share their work.


The event takes place at the Watermark Gallery in downtown Baltimore from 2 to 5 p.m.


Returning Lit & Art poets include Fernando Quijano III, Ann Bracken, and Liz Moser.

Making their Lit & Art debut are poets Laura Shovan, Margaret Mullins, Judith Goedeke, Kat Hellen, Allan Roy Andrews, Janice Lynch Schuster, Danuta Kosk-Kosicka, Regina Sokas, Tapendu Basu, Shirley Brewer, and Adele Steiner.

Songwriter Goodloe Byron will provide original music. Manzar will share her original artwork.

Like previous events in this series, it’s free and open to the public. Complimentary wine and refreshments will be served. Find out why it’s been called “the best excuse to get lit on a Sunday afternoon.”

The Watermark Gallery is located in the Bank of America Center Skywalk Level, right across from the Inner Harbor, at 100 S. Charles Street, Baltimore, Maryland. The phone number is (410) 547-0452.

And in case you haven’t already gotten your copies, Life in Me Like Grass on Fire and Tracks: A Novel in Stories will both be on sale, with authors ready to autograph!

Anthology or Individual Book?

This Thursday, for some, Sunrise will be in the evening. That’s because the Maryland Writers’ Association will present a panel discussion and reading to residents of Sunrise of Columbia. The event takes place from 7 to 9 p.m. at Sunrise of Columbia, 6500 Freetown Road, Columbia, MD.

Five poets published in the anthology Life in Me like Grass on Fire who have also had their own books published will participate (myself included). We will read from our work, and discuss the differences between having your own book published and having your work published in an anthology with other authors.
