Join us for a reading with several poets whose work is featured in the poetry anthology Kakalak 2025.
Kakalak’s mission is to embrace the strength of poets and artists as voices for social justice, faith and spirituality, the environment and nature, family, and sense of place—always remembering that home can be as close as the hollows of Appalachia or as far away as Tanzania.
From the Urban Dictionary, Kakalak literally means “an endearment of the Carolinas.” Originally a regional anthology highlighting North and South Carolina poets and artists, Kakalak now accepts poetry and art from anyone, anywhere. While we never claim a set theme, there’s something beautiful in how each anthology ties together and creates a balance of dark, serious subjects tempered by poignant, light-hearted humor.
Featured poets, artists, and speakers:
- Susan Craig
- Ann Humphries
- Debra Daniel
- Al Black
- Michal Rubin
- Ruth Nicholson
- Randy Spencer
- Jack McGregor
