Waterbean Coffee-Huntersville
9705 Sam Furr Road Ste A
Huntersville, NC 28078
7-9 p.m.
Thanks to Leslie Rupracht and Jonathan K. Rice for their invite to the Waterbean Poetry Night reading series up in Huntersville. Leslie & Jonathan are staples on the poetry scene in the Charlotte metro area and have been supportive of my work since we met-it's always great to be in their company. And it was great meeting these guys in person (we linked up on social media beforehand):

His poetry chapbook, not belonging anywhere, is available with Bottlecap Press (2022). His words also appear in Jellyfish Review, Posit Journal, Olney Magazine, and elsewhere.

AHVID HARRIS is an Expressionist residing in Charlotte, NC. Locally, he has performed at The Evening Muse, Starlight on 22nd, Flux Galleries, Common Market Oakhurst, Waterbean Poetry Night, and elsewhere. In 2023, he realized a solo show at the Asheville Fringe Festival, “Musica Poetica,” in which he interweaved classical piano with poetic verse. Known for a range of other mediums including photography, video, and acting, Ahvid plans to continue exploring his crafts, both as an independent and interconnected artist. His self-published debut poetry collection, Peregrinations, was released in 2022 and is acclaimed by Charlotte poet laureate, Jay Ward. Ahvid’s work can also be found at Kalmato.com or more organically on Instagram: @Kalmato.MB
