Longtime Flint writer, poet and resident, Jan Worth-Nelson, has written a post for a Flint mag, East Village Magazine, in which she includes her experience of our recent Buckham Gallery reading, Steal This Stage. You can find the article, “Village Life: Romance of City Life Sometimes Falls Short, but Neighborly Life Can Be Full of Grace,” here.
Jan is a writer and poet who figures into my teenage Flint art scene personal mythology of the 80s, even though she had no idea until recently. But I finally got to meet her officially at the Buckham reading on September 17, and we had a great chat! This is the beauty of the arts. It forges connections.

This playlist is a companion to my 80s coming-of-age novel, Your Silent Face. Stuart Page is a protagonist obsessed with 80s New Wave and Ian Curtis, the lead singer of Joy Divison. All of the tunes and bands in the playlist get a mention in the novel. The novel is available on Amazon.
