I’ll be participating in the Tangelo reading series, held from 7 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, January 9, at The Martin performance space, 2515 W. North Ave., in the West Town neighborhood of Chicago.

I plan to read from Semiosis and share a short essay — about what? I haven’t decided yet.

The event, the 23rd of the Tangelo series, will also feature:
Emma Casey, a writer and performer and maker from Chicago.
Levi Todd, a queer poet and lifelong Chicagoan, working as a healthy relationships educator with youth.
Jitesh Jaggi, a recent immigrant from India who uses storytelling, poetry, dance, and writing to share his narratives.

More information is at the Facebook event page and on Twitter. Free, but reserve your admission. A $5 donation is accepted at the door. Cash bar.
