Please join Busboys and Poets for a very special afternoon of poetry and rock ’n’ roll! You will be treated to a poetry reading by Newberry Award Medalist Kwame Alexander, who will present excerpts from his new book, Solo, and hear musician Randy Preston perform original music composed for the book. All this will be followed up with a Q&A and book signing by Alexander.

At Busboys and Poets Takoma, 234 Carroll St., NW, Washington, DC. Click here for info.
