Featured poet for the monthly Avondale Estates Poetry
Reading on Tuesday November 5 will be Khaliah Johnson.
Khaliah
is a physician-poet whose writing touches upon her experiences in
medicine and beyond. Her heartfelt passion for caring for children
and connecting to others with care and compassion are themes that emerge in her
work. Originally from Brooklyn, NY, Dr. Johnson currently resides in
Atlanta, GA and is a pediatric palliative care specialist at Children's
Healthcare
of Atlanta. Her work in medicine has also lead her to
volunteer service work in several countries within Latin America and
sub-Saharan Africa. She has published in several peer-reviewed scientific
journals, and keeps a blog about her service experience in South Africa.
The
reading meets the first Tuesday of every month at
Avondale Estates’ Savage Pizza at the corner of Laredo and N Clarendon. An open
reading, during which anyone can share a poem, either original work or a
favorite by another poet, begins at 7 p.m. and
the featured poet reads at 8 p.m.
Join
us for a fun evening of good company, wonderful poetry and some of the best
Italian café food in the area.
