Wormhole Books & Records will host an evening of poetry readings by touring poets James Norman and Daryl Gussin and Alachua County locals John Weeks, Charles Ely, and J.N.

Daryl Gussin is a writer and musician who is currently the managing editor at Razorcake fanzine. His writing revolves around the honest, bittersweet, and ultimately triumphant aspects of counterculture and its flavorful inhabitants.

Most of his poems are instructions for how to survive the desert of self for long enough to understand the thirst that drives us.

John Weeks is an author, musician, and songwriter from Keystone Heights, Florida. He recently published his first collection of poetry titled Wiregrass Moon.
