Tuning Up: Poetry, poet news + Artista Vista news

Good morning! 

“Tuning Up” is a morning post series where The Hub delivers curated, quick-hit arts stories of interest to readers. Sometimes there will be one story, sometimes there will be several. Get in tune now, and have a masterpiece of a day. And now, in no particular order…


Here’s some poetry stuff…

  • Don’t miss out. Applications to be South Carolina’s next poet laureate are CLOSING FRIDAY. (Here’s where you can learn more.)
  • Nine Cloud Journal is publishing Clarence Carter Boucher’s poem, “I AM Tempered Steel.” The poem is about overcoming abuse.

And some arts events news to put some wind in our sails. Artista Vista is coming back to the Congaree Vista in April. “Bigger, more inclusive … health and public safety a priority…” The Congaree Vista is a South Carolina Cultural District. There’s probably one near you, so see what’s going on there and support those local artists, artisans, and merchants and restaurateurs in.
