The Hub City Writers Project hosts readings by two accomplished Spartanburg poets, Angela Kelly and Rick Mulkey, Monday, Jan. 14, at 7:30 pm in the Showroom at Hub-Bub in downtown Spartanburg. The event is free and open to the public. Angela Kelly will read from her newest chapbook, Post Script from the House of Dreams, which was a winner of the 2006 S.C. Poetry Initiative Prize and subsequently published by Stepping Stone Press late last year.

She is a winner of a Poetry Fellowship from the South Carolina Arts Commission and will have a full-length volume of poetry, Voodoo for the Other Woman, published later this year.

Rick Mulkey is the author of four poetry books, including his most recent Toward Any Darkness, published by Word  Press last year. Mulkey has taught creative writing and American literature at colleges, universities and writing workshops in the United States and Europe. Most recently, he directed the MFA Creative Writing program at Wichita State University. He currently teaches poetry and American literature at Converse College, where he directs the creative writing major.
