Featuring intimate performances, Charles Coe treats us to his own innovative poetry and prose interspersed with classic works from Langston Hughes, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, D.H. Lawrence and Mark Twain, alongside esteemed classical guitarist Aaron Larget-Caplan who will be showcasing his own original compositions alongside arrangements of classical masterpieces from Bach, Cage and more!
