Me and the homie Len Lawson will be reading together down in SC. Really looking forward to it-we've talked about reading together a long time and I'm thankful to Joe's Place for having us. Len's a good dude to do this reading with-I've enjoyed talking with him about the difficulties of being Christian poets in what I consider to be our generally religion-averse circles, and we'll get to some pieces we might not get to in other settings.

Len Lawson teaches writing at Central Carolina Technical College. He has received a creative writing fellowship from Callaloo Creative Writing Workshop. He is a Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net nominee with poems appearing or forthcoming in Winter Tangerine Review, pluck!, Diverse Voices Quarterly, The Petigru Review, and many other anthologies and journals. Len is Poet-in-Residence for Sumter County (SC) Cultural Commission and co-founder of the Poets Respond to Race initiative. The Very Least of Me explores themes of purpose and identity set in the landscape of a wilderness. He includes three short stories in the collection which are sure to entertain with humor, nostalgia, and reflection.
