Go Write Now

Just a reminder that this upcoming Saturday, June 14th, we are pleased to bring you an extra special event to kick off the summer. While the regular, open-to-all Get Lit reading begins at 7 pm (note the earlier start time!), immediately following is Verses—A collaboration of poetry and music.

This will feature three poets (Get Lit regulars) performing their work with help from local musicians. The line up is as follows:

Stephanie Brea & Elliot Swauger
Edwin Kunkle & Tim Krupar
Shane Dushack & the rest of his band, Bo Wilson

Since I am participating in this collaborative process, I just want to let everyone know that Elliot & I are coming up with what I feel is some great stuff so far, and that the results are definitely going to be interesting. It really breathes new life into some of my older poems. It also provides the opportunity to stretch my creative muscles in a new way.

I hope that attending the event will inspire both writers and artists of other creative forms. The spirit of the event is parallel to another important local entity, the fledgling non profit I am also involved with, Greenlight Engage. As this organization will benefit all types of artists in the Greensburg area, I am hoping that anyone involved with Get Lit would also be interested in supporting Greenlight Engage.

Hope to see you all this Saturday!
