Wide Shining II

Saturday, Apr. 30 @ Hendershot's Coffee

The passion project of local multimedia artist Ben Rouse, the second edition of art zine Wide Shining focuses largely on the works of 13 writers, including unrecorded and previously unpublished song lyrics co-created by Vic Chesnutt and Jeremy Ayers, among contributions from Jordan Rothacker, Forrest Aguar, Christopher Nelms, Maggie Benoit and Joey Carter. Each piece is accompanied by a photograph from Rouse’s recent series “Drowning Dali.” In addition to poetry readings and a raffle, the release party will feature performances by Tall Tall Trees, Oak House and Ginko. If you happen to miss the opening night, you can still pick up a copy at Avid Bookshop, Community or the edition’s beneficiary, Nuçi's Space.
