Poetry Speaks at Your Library featuring Buddy Wakefield
The Toledo-Lucas County Public Library cordially invites you to attend the next Poetry Speaks @ Your Library featuring Buddy Wakefield, two-time Individual World Poetry Slam Champion featured on NPR, the BBC and HBOs Def Poetry Jam. This FREE and open to the public program is scheduled from 6-8 p.m. on Monday, February 18 (Presidents’ Day) in the Huntington Meeting Room at Main Library, 325 Michigan St.
Wakefield’s publications, most recently including Gentleman Practice and Live for a Living, both on Write Bloody Publishing, find a way to translate the electricity and honesty of his live performance, said Ryan Duckett, Library Humanities intern and University of Toledo graduate student.
Joining Buddy on-stage will be Zach Fishel, Tara Armstrong, Bob Phillips, Imani Lateef, and Ryan Bunch.
