I read two of my poems during the Open Mic session of the Kalamazoo Poetry Festival on April 16, 2021. About twenty-five poets of different races participated. All of the poets were supportive of one another, and I enjoyed this event very much.
Other local poets who participated included Gail Martin and Lynn Pattison.
