7-8pm: Jim Trainer Presents
8-9pm: Light Refreshments & Socializing

Self-publisher, personal journalist, singer-songwriter, storyteller, and poet Jim Trainer will discuss his creative process and the importance of publishing as the completion of that process. From composition to printing and binding to performing live, the written word is rife with potential better served, and even shaped, at the street level and when heard, read, and shared. Jim will touch on personal journalism, the why of art and creation, and ultimately how poetry and your personal vantage point as a writer will often ring truer than the hard news.

Jim Trainer will perform and share his work as part of the discussion.

This event is part of ABAC’s Third Thursday series. For each, we invite a special presenter to provide an educational demonstration during the first hour. A reception follows. These family-friendly happenings are free and open to the public.
