We’re taking a moment to recognize Kansas City’s wordsmiths.
Taken from KCPT’s “Arts Upload,” which has amassed an impressive collection of local poets reading their own works, “Spotlight” gives Flatland a chance to catch up with the artists. We find out what they’re up to and get their take on what to watch in the local and national art scene.

I am currently working on a visual art series called Her Holiness. They are embroidered icons of female patron saints of feminist causes.
Getting to see two friends from Kansas City!
I am reading the first novel by my favorite essayist, Sloane Crosley. It’s called “The Clasp”.
To get connected to the spoken word scene in Denver and show them what Kansas City has to offer!
