Jan Worth-Nelson's Ruminations about City Life in Flint, Michigan /
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.

The reading event, Steal This Stage, which happened on Saturday, September 17, at Buckham Gallery in Downtown Flint, from 2-4 pm, was a blast. Such a memorable occasion! Here is a carousel of photos from the event. Pictured writers: me, Kelsey Ronan, Connor Coyne and Catharine Batsios.

I will be reading from Your Silent Face at Buckham Gallery in Flint on September 17th, from 2-4, along with Catharine Batsios, Connor Coyne and Kelsey Ronan. Four writers from Flint with writings about, and influenced by, Flint.
Your Silent Face is an 80s coming-of-age story told by a story-telling character who obsesses on New Wave music, drinking, fantasizing, generational trauma, romance, loyalty, art, college and many things Flint.

“In Lane’s literary novel, a music lover attempts to make sense of his reality in 1980s Michigan…A meandering but vigorous story about wayward youth and the necessity of art.”
New Exhibit at the Michigan State University Residential College in the Arts & Humanties /
Happy to announce you can peep a lot of my work from 2020-2022 at the Michigan State University Residential College in the Arts and Humanities now thru October. Located in the display cases on the 2nd floor of Snyder-Phillips, between the LookOut! Gallery and RCAH Student Center. Please stop by 🙂
Connor Coyne's Review of Your Silent Face /
“It’s also a master class in stream-of-consciousness narrative, where the prosaic and the profound mingle freely in the mind and words of narrator Stuart Page, a halfway burnt out college kid at home for the summer, a musical critic with an obsessive streak, and a young but practiced alcoholic. Someone could write a thesis on hangovers in this book.”

We are mega excited to be reading from our work at Buckham Gallery in September! Details below. Jump to Buckham Gallery here.
