Local Poet & Author Event at the Book Nook

In partnership with the Book Nook and Java Shop in Montague, MADL invites you to a local poet and author event on Saturday April 25 at 11 a.m.

Muskegon native C.J. Spataro, author of romantasy novel More Strange Than True, joins Kalamazoo poet Kurt Luchs in conversation to celebrate the release of his newest collection, Tributaries.

In Tributaries, Kurt Luchs chooses twenty poems that hold vital meaning for him as a reader and writer—many, but not all, recognized as classics—and pays twofold tribute to them. First, he explores each poem with a deep-diving personal essay on how the poet works their magic upon us. Then he gives a tribute poem of his own, in response to, or inspired by, the poem under discussion. The result is a uniquely well-rounded, multidimensional way of honoring great poems, unlocking more of their treasures for both first-time and long-time lovers of poetry.

Check out the books and brews before, during and after this unique vibed event in a great local location and via www.madl.org!
