Join Pure Products in the the Druid City Brewing Company Moon Room for our first literary reading of the semester, featuring the awe-inspiring Josh Dugat, Michael Martone, and Ernest Ohia!~~
Josh Dugat is the author of the poetry collection Great and Small (Able Muse Press, 2025). His writing can be found in magazines and journals including The Literary Review, TriQuarterly, and America. For his teaching and creative work, Josh has received fellowships or residencies from Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Arrowmont School of Craft, the Western Folklife Center, and the Arctic Research Consortium of the United States.
Michael Martone, depending on who you ask, "is either contemporary literature's most notorious prankster, innovator, or mutineer" (according to Matthew Baker of HTML Giant). Martone the author of over 30 books and chapbooks. He has won two Fellowships from the NEA and a grant from the Ingram Merrill Foundation. His stories and essays have appeared and been cited in the Pushcart Prize, The Best American Stories and The Best American Essays anthologies.
Ernest Chigaemezu Ohia is a queer Igbo writer from Nigeria who sometimes wonders if adulthood is just pretending you don’t have 57 things on your to-do list. When they’re not writing or napping, you can find them on Instagram, scrolling with the kind of focus that sometimes surprises them—because, of course, ADHD insists this is the only way to relax. Ernest remains baffled by humanity’s bizarre attachment to cherry-flavored candies (why?), cinnamon-spiced anything (why??), and pumpkin spice (seriously, WHY???). Their work has appeared in Lolwe, The Muse, 20:35 Africa, Agbowo, Rigorous, and other places too cool to list here.
