Celebrate with SCAD writers as Aaron Belz releases and reads from his fourth book of poems, Soft Launch, (Persea Books). Publishers Weekly opines, “…[Belz] acutely observes his fellow humans—especially millennials—and uses these observations to weave text-speak and startup jargon into rich moments that feel entirely human.” Belz is originally from St. Louis and moved to Savannah last summer with his partner, journalist and SCAD MFA student Araceli Cruz. His other works include the collections The Bird Hoverer (BlazeVOX, 2007), Lovely, Raspberry (Persea 2010), and Glitter Bomb (Persea 2014).
Ariel Felton (M.F.A. ’15) is an essayist and journalist from Byron, Georgia. Her writing has been published in The Progressive, The Bitter Southerner, McSweeney’s, Under the Gum Tree, Scalawag Magazine, and more. Her book review column Well, Lit is published monthly in Do Savannah. Felton currently serves as a teaching artist and publications manager at the nonprofit Deep Center in Savannah.
