Title of Event: Cliterati Open No-Mic Featuring Tara Bray
7:30-9:00pm.
Charis & Cliterati pair up to present an inviting and fierce open
mic & reading series on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Hosted by
the anarchic spoken word team of Karen G and Theresa Davis, members of
the Art Amok Slam Team, this series cultivates the voices of authors,
novices and an assortment of poets, songstresses and story tellers.
Cliterati is 8 years old and counting, open to all because ALL OPEN
MOUTHS HAVE A VOICE. This month we are honored to feature a performance
by award winning poet Tara Bray, who will read from her new book of
poems, "Mistaken for Song." Formerly an Atlanta resident and Charis
writers group participant, Tara currently resides in Grand Rapids,
Michigan.
Mistaken for Song
by
Bray, Tara

Winner of Persea's 2008 Lexi Rudnitsky Poetry Prize for American Women Poets.
The
impetus of this harrowing debut lies in tragedy: "My father shook the
gun to get the bullet out. / He was a careless man, but only once." Yet
even amidst a constant ache, the poems in "Mistaken for Song" do not
refuse solace. Instead, they find consolation, communion, and even joy
in the untamed natural world, rendered at every turn by Tara Bray's
pitch-perfect ear for heartbreaking music.
