Help us celebrate our 20 Year Anniversary with music, stories, and poetry from Chip Albright and David Wolf.
Singer-songwriter Chip Albright weaves a tapestry of music from a blend of genres: Folk, Roots, Americana, and Country. Chip believes that these compositions possess tremendous power in helping us better understand the world we live in. Poet David Wolf provides rich and complex poetry, featured in his newest collection, Seven.
A true Midwesterner with rural Kansas roots and Des Moines, Iowa branches, Chip Albright is an independent singer-songwriter that still believes in good over evil. Chip’s songs are empathetic vignettes and reflective narratives weaving personal perspective and social commentary with Folk, Americana and Country stylizations. Chip has a penchant for storytelling, humor and insight. Chip will be performing songs from his forthcoming CD, Twenty-Five, that chronicles 25 of his original songs from the last 25 years and will be available for purchase. Chip is also a member of the Iowa Writers’ Collaborative and writes a weekly column called Chip Happens.
𝑆𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛 refers to the seven voicings or personas that make up the collection. Remarkably, the different voicings of the poems are conspicuously distinct and treat of different experiences and perspectives, but the seven sections unite to create a unified work.
David Wolf is the author of seven collections of poetry, Open Season, The Moment Forever, Sablier I, Sablier II, Visions (with artist David Richmond), Weir (a micro-chapbook from Origami Poems Project), and Seven. His work has appeared in numerous literary magazines and journals, including BlazeVOX, Cleaver Magazine, dadakuku, decomp, E·ratio, Exacting Clam, Indefinite Space, Lotus-eater Magazine, New York Quarterly, Otoliths, River Styx Magazine, Transom, and Utriculi. He is a professor emeritus of English at Simpson College and serves as the poetry editor for Janus Head: Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature, Continental Philosophy, Phenomenological Psychology, and the Arts.
