Joel Craig came from Chicago to read poems as the sun set and wind blew. Here's Joel Craig:

He co-founded and hosted the Danny’s Reading Series in Chicago from 2001-2015 and serves as an artistic associate for the Lit & Luz festival (litluz.org), an event series series of events featuring authors, visual artists, and musicians from Chicago and Mexico in cultural exchange and conversation. Joel is also poetry editor for MAKE literary magazine. His poetry can be found in A Public Space, Boston Review, FENCE, and more recently in Fonograf Editions Magazine, and at Windfall Room.

green_space is a seasonal event series that takes place outdoors rain or shine or snow in Buffalo’s public space run by Jake Reber and Joe Hall. It is interested in readings in places that are unfussy and everyday. It is interested in what a reading can be without walls.
