Lit Youngstown’s First Wednesday Reader Series presents poets Roger Craik of Ashtabula and Dave Lucas of Cleveland on Wednesday, September 4 at 7:00pm at the Westside Bowl, 2617 Mahoning Ave. There will be an open mic following the reading. This reading will be downstairs in the Trophy Room, which is accessible only by stairs.
Roger Craik is English by birth, has lived in the USA since 1991, has published five full-length poetry books (another in progress), and very much enjoys visiting Youngstown.
Dave Lucas is the author of Weather (VQR / Georgia, 2011), which received the 2012 Ohioana Book Award for Poetry. From 2018 to 2019, he served as the poet laureate of the State of Ohio. A cofounder of Cleveland Book Week and Brews + Prose at Market Garden Brewery, he lives in Cleveland, where he was born and raised.
This reading is supported in part by funds awarded to the Board of Mahoning County Commissioners under Assistance Listing No. 21.027 by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
The First Wednesday reading in October will feature James B. DeMonte and Michael Loderstedt.
