  • --October 26th and 27th: The musical ensemble OLEA (current artists-in-residence at SOS ART) will perform music inspired by poems from various Cincinnati poets. This beautiful initiative is supported by the indefatigable Saad Ghosn, and one of my poems was selected for the event! The performances are:
