“Birmingham means connection and community, inspiration and adventure. Living in Huntsville, it’s always encouraging to see what is going on in Birmingham, and every trip down feels like magic. Birmingham is home to many people I love and many poets I admire who are doing incredible work for literary arts along with necessary activism to continue to better their city through their love of the written and spoken word, and it continues to motivate me to do the same.”
