Poet Steven Leyva reading at the Mt. Vernon Place Church in Baltimore presented by Smartish Pace, 32 Poems Magazine & Barrelhouse for Association of Writers & Writing Programs. Intro by Justin Marks. Part of the fun of this event was seeing inside an iconic historic space in Baltimore, a long-shuttered 19th-century church. Thanks to Peabody Heights Brewery, LLC for their beer sponsorship & The Ivy Bookshop for their book selling.
