Poetry & Jazz Night (7:30 pm - 10:30 pm)
Jazz and Poetry Night
Tickets $10 for adults $5 for children under 13.
Doors open at 7:30pm for an 8:00pm show.
Featuring:
Hipster Spacemen, an East Coast contemporary jazz sextet founded by trombonist and Airmen Of Note musical director Joe Jackson, who says of the Spacemen, “our repertoire is best explained by saying that the music of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers is our point of departure.”
David Wojahn, a major contemporary American poet who teaches poetry in the Department of English at Virginia Commonwealth University, and in the low residency MFA in Writing program at the Vermont College of Fine Arts. He also directs Virginia Commonwealth University's Creative Writing Program. His Icehouse Lights was chosen by Richard Hugo as a winner of the 1982 Yale Series of Younger Poets prize, and was the winner of the Poetry Society of America’s William Carlos Williams Book Award. His Interrogation Palace: New and Selected Poems 1982-2004, was one of three named finalists for the Pulitzer Prize, and winner of the O. B. Hardison, Jr. Poetry Prize from the Folger Shakespeare Library. Wojahn has received numerous other awards and fellowships for both his teaching and his writing.
Peter Campion, writing in Poetry magazine, called Interrogation Palace "Superb. Powerful, panoramic. In Interrogation Palace Wojahn picked the perfect title: these are poems of both largesse and terror. . . . He writes with as much formal and emotional strength as any poet alive."
