The Mile High Jazz Band with guest vocalists Jakki Ford and Cindee LeVal will be joined by five poets and readers for "Farewell, Goodnight," a lively evening of big-band jazz music and poetry in Carson City.
The event will be on Tuesday, June 11, 7:30-9:30 p.m., at Comma Coffee, 312 S. Carson Street, across the street from the state legislature building. Admission is $5 general and free for age 18 and under.
The program will feature award-winning poets and readers Krista Lukas, Terri Breeden, Rita Geil, Susan Sara Priest, and Amy Roby.
Lukas, currently a resident of Minden, will read from her collection "Fans of My Unconscious,"recently published by Black Rock Press.
The June 11 jazz and poetry event is a farewell for Lukas, who received a poetry fellowship from the University of California, Riverside, where she will begin a Master of Fine Arts program in fall of 2013.
