We’re thrilled to share that four poets from The Nearby Universe will be reading on Friday, December 4, in the VIP room at the historic Satellite Hotel alongside longtime member M.R. Hyde‘s art show opening at the Satellite Gallery. Poets will read from 5- 6 p.m., with book signing and sales to follow; the gallery opening will run until 8. Refreshments will be served.
M.R. Hyde, also known as ReeAnn Hyde, will read from her newest books, The Reluctant Poet and A Prayer From the Driven: Poems by a Christian. Brook Bhagat will be bringing her brand-new collection of poetry and short stories, Exodus with Red Delicious, to be released just three days before, from Unsolicited Press.
Amie Sharp will read from her latest collection, Formations of the West, from Main Street Rag Press, and Amber Ridenour Walker will read from her new chapbook, Suburban Gothic, from Bottlecap Press.
Located at 411 Lakewood Circle near South Academy Boulevard and Airport Road in Colorado Springs, the Satellite Hotel has been a mid-century modern landmark since 1969. It’s even cooler on the inside, with thriving businesses and funky Jetsons-style vibes everywhere. And we’re going to be in the VIP room!
The Nearby Universe is the creative writers’ group for Pikes Peak State College faculty and staff. We hold monthly workshops and at least one write-in annually, and are open to all PPSC disciplines, divisions, and employees. Hope to see you at the Satellite!
