Much Love and Thank you to everyone who attended and supported my poetry reading last night!  I read excerpts from my upcoming book, "From A Detroit War Primer." It was great to see so many people from the community! This morning, I received a lot of positive feedback from friends and people who heard me read for the first time.  Here is a live feed from the Charles H.
