This event will be live-streamed on the Facebook page and YouTube Channel Carolina Poets.

David Colodney realized at an early age that he had no athletic ability whatsoever, so he turned his attention to writing about sports instead of attempting to play them, covering everything from high school flag football to major league baseball for The Miami Herald and The Tampa Tribune. David is the author of the chapbook, Mimeograph. He earned an MFA at Converse College and holds an MA from Nova Southeastern University. David’s poetry has or will appear in a variety of journals including South Carolina Review, Panoply, St. Petersburg Review, and The Chaffin Journal. He serves as an associate editor of South Florida Poetry Journal and lives in Boynton Beach, Florida with his wife, three sons, and golden retriever.

Han VanderHart lives in Durham, North Carolina. She holds an MFA in poetry from George Mason University and an MA in English from Georgetown, where she worked with Carolyn Forché at the Lannan Center for Poetics and Social Practice. In 2019, she received her PhD in English from Duke University. She has poetry and essays published in The Boston Globe, Kenyon Review, The American Poetry Review, AGNI and elsewhere. She is the author of the poetry chapbook Hands like Birds (Ethel Zine Press) and the poetry collection What Pecan Light (Bull City Press). Her works-in-progress include the poetry collection Larks and the essay collection Confederate Monument Removal. Han is the reviews editor at EcoTheo Review and edits Moist Poetry Journal.

Wm. Epes, M.Div., grew up in Buffalo, NY, and for nine years has called Charleston, SC, home. Today, he sleeps about four miles from the ocean, a great comfort. Bill considers himself a Northerner writing on Southern ground, honoring this privilege by listening for, and ministering to difference. Bill studied poetry with the late Hugh Ogden, a Quaker who served the incarcerated, as Bill did post-seminary. He cut his teeth on the NYC poetry of the 1980s, and grew up in a family connected by friendship to the late Ohio poet James Wright. Bill now hosts the virtual reading series Tuesday Duets, pairing artists to exchange work live as if in a conversation, a project he counts as a ministry.
