I'll be at two tables at the Columbus Art Book Fair May 13-14th! It's a fun festival with a lot of talented folks, so come out for the books and artists.
I'll have a table with copies of my zines, including all 3 issues of Kill the Gatekeeper and a ✨brand new✨ poetry zine that I can't wait to debut. I'll also be at the table for Gazala Projects, which is an art gallery highlighting Arab creators. We'll be previewing our exhibit Text Me When You Get Home: Poetry and text art by Palestinian creatives with Ohio connections!
Following the Columbus Art Book Fair, the exhibit will be traveling to Urban Arts Space Columbus, then to the Gazala Projects headquarters in Gettysburg, Ohio. I'll be performing poetry live at various times and the text will be shown in a sculpture garden-esque display when I'm not there. Stay tuned for more info on the traveling exhibit.
More info on Columbus Art Book Fair is here.
A group of writers who skate (writer-skaters, skater-writers, whatever you want to call us) will be reading on the Word Is Art stage at the Columbus Arts Festival on Saturday, June 11, 2022 from 4pm to 5pm ET.
I’ll be reading an excerpt from my forthcoming book, Midwest Shreds: Skaters and Skateparks in Middle America!
