Join us for a wintertime afternoon of poetry and music with Alyssa Stewart, award winning author from Columbia, SC. After our featured author's presentation, we will break for refreshments, book sales, and conversation. We will then resume for our "open mic" portion, so bring something to share!
Bio:
Alyssa comes from a creative family. Her mother has a beautiful voice, her father denies having a beautiful voice, her older sister performs in off-Broadway shows, one of her younger brothers composes instrumental music, and the other brother sings with abandon every chance he gets. The constant support Alyssa has received from them, her friends, her peers, and her partner is priceless.
She teaches private music lessons, writes and performs original songs, takes dozens of photos of small, important things, and writes poetry and reads less frequently than she’d like. She lives in downtown Columbia with three other women and a stripy ginger cat.
Alyssa won the inaugural Combahee River Prize for a South Carolina BIPOC Writer. Her work is published in Jasper Magazine and in Fall Lines Volume X.
