Jon Batiste: What's Feeding Him Before His Atlanta Date

After more than 30 years as a visual artist, Donna Mintz has written her first book,  'Stars at Noon,' out now from Mercer University Press. Her path from artist to published author began with a reading of James Agee's “Let Us Now Praise Famous Men,” alone on a Tennessee porch, a decade ago. WABE Arts and Culture Editor Sherri Daye Scott talked with Mintz about what she had to learn — and unlearn — moving from clay and glass to the page, and what she hopes readers carry with them. 📖

Visual Artist Donna Mintz Claims the Title of Writer 

Mike Jordan and his wife and fellow writer Jacinta Howard created the Lit literary karaoke series back in 2014. The premise was simple: readers take the mic to perform uncensored excerpts from their favorite books over a live music bed. Then COVID hit. Now, after a six-year hiatus, Lit is back. WABE Arts and Culture Editor Sherri Daye Scott talked with Jordan about how the karaoke concept works, why admission is a book instead of cash, and what's brought local writers and first-time readers to the mic. 🎧
