Today at 7pm, over 15 authors from the recently published collection of Tacoma poetry, In Tahoma’s Shadow, will be performing at King’s Books. Included in the bunch is Poet Laureate Antonio Edwards, former Poet Laureate Bill Kupinse, recently published Tammy Robacker and, The Melon’s own, Electric Elliot.
Join some of the greatest poets in Tacoma in one of Tacoma’s greatest venues.
Tacoma is Antonio Edwards city. After 25 years, he can’t think of living anywhere else and as Poet Laureate of Tacoma is determined to helping transform the City of Destiny into the bustling arts scene foreseen by prophecies.
The Melon sat down with Antonio to discuss his art, his message and his accomplishments as Poet Laureate. Listen for a presentation of his poem “Hilltopia” at the end of our interview.
