Synnika Lofton Book Launch and Q&A

Join The Muse Writers Center for a reading by Synnika Lofton from his new poetry collection, American Reverie. After the reading, there will be a Q&A and book signing. This event will be held in person at The Muse and copies of the book will be available for purchase.  See the Muse’s current Covid-19 policies.

“Like musician trading solos, McGee and Lofton’s voices vibrate with energy, building, jamming, pulsing across urban landscapes, imploring the spirit to stand up, wake up, and feel the trembling complexities of self and culture. This moving collection echoes Whitman and Hughes infused with the power and relevance of Zach De La Roche, poems standing boldly on the street corners of contemporary America.”

—Theodore Shank, author of Follow The Flickering Down
