Readings by CLINTON SMITH and ELIJAH PRYOR

July 25, 2018 @ 7:00 pm10:00 pm

Elijah Pryor is a spoken word poet born and raised in Philadelphia. He feels blessed to be part of such a thriving and diverse arts scene in his home city and loves seeing people use creative expression to affect their world.

Clinton Smith is a poet, prose writer, and musician. As a guitarist, he has led various jazz music configurations that play widely in the tri-state area, and also worked with tabla player Bill Buchen in a group that focused on combining improvisational elements with various types of world music, particularly Arabic and Indian classical music. More recently, he has become interested in recording and performing ambient music through the layering of multiple levels of guitars, percussion instruments, and “field recordings”/sounds from found objects. A prolific poet, Clint has learned his craft through extensive reading and revision and workshops with poets such as Leonard Gontarek and Peter Balakian. His work has appeared most recently in Razor Lit and Confrontation.

Hosted by Dave Worrel

An open mic will follow the featured readers.
