Other poetry books have featured his sojourns in India, New Zealand, and Australia. The Endless Search is a memoir. David has also published numerous articles in magazines throughout the country. He will read a sample of poems from his book.
The open mic is for spoken word only, but is open to all forms of spoken word (fiction, essays, poetry, articles, polemics, etc.). So bring something to read!
