“Jazz Poetry continues into its final week, welcoming Juno Award–winning pianist Andy Milne all the way from Canada. Andy Milne’s Unison Trio will be sharing his new album, Time Will Tell, which explores the intersection between heritage, identity, and destiny. Performing with Andy are renowned poets Justin Perez (a leading Deaf storyteller sharing work via visual vernacular), Kundiman and Sewanee Writers Conference fellowship awardee Noah Arhm Choi, winner of the Cave Canem/Northwestern University Press Poetry Prize Jonathan Moody, and Monica Sok, a recipient of the Discovery Prize from the 92nd Street Y.
Each Jazz Poetry program begins with a 40-minute performance by the band, followed by 30 minutes of collaborative performance with the featured poets. In these collaborations, poets share their work while the musicians interpret and accompany their poetry with jazz, adding a unique, improvisational dimension to each performance.
ASL interpretation will be provided.”

Support Littsburgh!
Littsburgh™ is the online destination for the writers, publishing professionals, organizers, institutions, and readers who make Pittsburgh one of the world’s most literary cities.
Founded by three publishing professionals in 2015, Littsburgh showcases Pittsburgh as a hub of literary talent and activity while serving as a resource to foster further collaboration and connection within Pittsburgh’s vibrant literary community.
Littsburgh is a passion project and has been since inception.
Because we’re self-powered, we’ve been able to continue promoting literary Pittsburgh without having to compromise our vision or our mission — and without having to close up shop because of lack of funding. Our goal is for Littsburgh to be here for the long haul… and we’re only getting bigger and better every year!
As our audience has grown, however, so have our operating costs: hosting is increasingly expensive, spreading the word about literary Pittsburgh to our readers via social media channels requires paid “boosts,” and we’re investing literally hundreds of volunteer hours into the site every year.
With a small donation, one time or (even better!) recurring, you can help ensure that Littsburgh continues to grow and thrive.
